I have to say how much I adore you all for these often hilarious replies. What has actually become more clear to me is how unsupported we are by management and administration. We're a means to an...

So after dealing with an extremely demanding, non-compliant patient on our telemetry unit for a combined couple of weeks now, I am curious: How far does a patient have to go in abusing staff to be...

I am so glad that I moved to Waukesha County. Everything that you have all said about MATC (Milwaukee) covers everything that I hated and all that is seriously wrong with that school. Absolutely no...

I completed all of my pre-clinical prerequisites at Milwaukee Area Technical College, and since moving to Waukesha County decided to pursue my clinical process at WCTC. I am seriously already glad...

I TOTALLY agree with the previous poster about Marcus uniforms. They have probably the best and largest selection you'll find. I also wear the cherokee brand pants; I'm 5'9" but have REALLY long legs...

I appreciate all the responses from my male counterparts. What I really wanted from the original posting was honest feedback about this, and I got it. I saw that many of you were not very happy about...

I am in my last semester of prereqs for the ADN program at MATC. I will comment on some things mentioned before: Parking is awful and expensive. The school is planning on bringing the UPASS system...

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful replies. I can tell this is a hot button issue, and I am glad to see so many people that keep it in the perspective of taking everyone on an individual basis...

My best friend has been an LPN for about 6 years now, and she currently works in psych. Her program was of the intense, year-long variety, prerequisites and all. I have listened to her on and on tell...
