Your experience and your outlook on the situation are very inspiring. I wish you the best, and I hope all goes well with your very-soon-to-be-here baby if he/she is not already here.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed information. I was perusing this post because I am in the process of applying to a job as a new graduate and part of the application required me to put in...

This really frustrated me when I started out working as CNA. How can you be expected to take care of someone when you haven't had time to nourish and relax your body?

Glad to know it's not an issue. :) I was just reading through a hospital's student nurse guidelines and found an area that said "among other things, beards, sideburns below the earlobes, untrimmed...

I have to agree with these two. Being a male among a sea of females doesn't mean you should think like a neanderthal (i.e. sex, power, authority). I hope the majority of male nurses and male...

On top of you staying in shape, it will also be a great stress reliever from school! :D

I would absolutely love to bike to school! :D It would be approximately a 32-minute/6.1 mile ride for me. All I need is the actual bike. :lol2:

My current study space is the dining room table :sniff:. It isn't all that bad except for the hanging of my head while reading my texts (even with a binder to prop up the book) and the stiff chair. ...

Glad to hear your'e going to do the ethical thing. It may sting but it shouldn't very much as that was not your money in the first place. :coollook:

Some of these posts are quite inspiring on staying in shape. I like to get out on a long walk/short run with my son who is 15 months. I've also started weight training 3 times a week. A bike...

Haha that is disgusting!

I'm 21 and start my ADN program in the Fall. I'm taking pharmacology in June to make things easier during the program. :dance:

As if being a nurse itself wasn't enough...I'll gladly take on these extra "challenges". ;)

Oh I so understand where you're coming from! Each aide where I work usually has 20 patients to look out for with some being total assists and others just plain heavy. When I get home, after an...

All naysayers still have not addressed the fact that a competent nurse can wear cornrows. Yes you have your opinions, that's great. However, hairstyle doesn't dictate one's personality, skills,...

That's quite an opinion you have there! :lol2:

I really like this idea! :up: I'm going to keep this in the back of my mind throughout school, especially during those stressful moments.

Doing that during a shower was tough for me. :o

I couldn't imagine that corn rows would be an issue on a nurse. The hair would not interfere when interacting with pts and it certainly would never even touch the pt. :)

I'm going to be making some arrangements in my current study area so it becomes a true study area. :D

Broken link. :eek:

So...study to the best of your ability, learn time-management, ask for help, and don't give up. That definitely sounds possible! Thanks for sharing everyone. I cannot wait to start my ADN...

Perhaps the hospital could have offered her counseling rather than just dismissing her. They would have to know that such a tragedy would undoubtedly cause much psychological and emotional stress...

Wow reading all these posts makes me that much more excited to start school this fall! :sofahider I can't wait to come back with my comment(s). :rolleyes:
