Ok. Well, it would appear that NSU is out of the question. My local community college just opened up a nursing program. Aren't community colleges supposed to be more flexible? Think that would be an...

You think they'll know? I've been up here for over two years and a lot of my time has been spent reading. If there is nothing to do there is nothing to do. I'm not going to just sit and stare. Thanks...

I actually have quite a bit of down time at work. So I don't see that being too big of an issue. My main issue is just being able to stay at work 40 hrs per week so I can pay my rent and bills, and...

Well, I need to mention that cutting back on my work hours is NOT an option. I'm already struggling financially as it is (this job doesn't pay very well) so there's no way I can afford to lose hours....

First, I apologize if I posted this in an inappropriate forum. Second, I know this question has been asked before but my situation is a little different. I'm planning on going to Northwestern State...

I'm worried because I've never taken a drug test before. Believe me, I don't do drugs. I've always been too paranoid to subject myself to various chemicals. I did talk to someone tonight who told me,...

Don't they have to let me retake the test on the off chance that my fears are realized?

Nevermind...

No, they did not ask me for a list of medications I'm on. Not sure why... Thank you for your response. And that link doesn't seem to be working. I also wanted to mention that I've read they also look...

I just took a drug test for a job that I was offered today. I'm a new LPN and this is my first drug test ever. Well, I take a vitamin b every morning. And as I was sitting there looking at my urine I...

I've been out of school for two months. Just passed my boards about a month ago. But frankly, the school I went to was so poor that I literally feel like I learned nothing. I'm afraid that when I do...

I think I should be able to come here to vent and ask questions with out being told to chill. Its condescending and in no way helpful.

As of right now I am working towards my LPN. I should be graduating in December. After I get my LPN I intend to get my ADN and I'm very interested in forensic nursing. I just read a post not too...

Thanks, guys! :)

I really don't intend to work in an ER seeing as that seems to be where danger is in the air. I intend to work in an institution, the place they go AFTER they've been to the ER. I want to either work...

Oh. My. God. How common are occurrences such as these???

Anyone else????

I feel I should add that I'm in an LPN program right now but plan on going for my RN ASAP. Thanks for your response. I agree with you on the technical aspects of nursing. I don't see myself...

Give the pros and cons of this field. I want to be a psych nurse but I don't feel I know enough about what it actually IS to make that decision just yet. Thanks to all who reply. Its much appreciated.

Was that necessary?
