   Definitely check out the COSLEEPING facebook group. I don't know how you guys sleep now, but there are lots of pictures of various bed set ups, peer support, and things like that.

2. School and a baby

   autonomyforall replied to sunshinesusu's topic in ADN/BSN

   I would say go for it while your baby is little. They're much more easy to work around then, and if you wear your baby, s/he can nurse on demand, get all the benefits of skin to skin, get all the benefits of being held upright without over stimulatio...

3. What was the best thing about CNA school?

   autonomyforall replied to Vtachy1's topic in CNA/MA

   The best part was the classroom instructor. He was very personable and made class fun. The worst part was my classmates. All but one of my classmates was female, and out of about 15 students, there were maybe 5, including the male, that actually acte...

4. looking for information about the LPN/RN program brown mackie ks location

   autonomyforall replied to FuturePedsNur16's topic in Kansas

   Have you looked into Metropolitan Community College? It will cost a lot less than Brown Mackie, maybe even if you have to pay out of state tuition. Kansas City Community College also has a program, I think, but I'm not familiar with them. I would re...

5. HCA/ Research RN employment?

   autonomyforall posted a topic in Missouri

   I am finishing up my ADN program and should (hopefully) graduate in May. I'm really interested in working for a HCA facility, specifically Research or Lee Summit Medical because I had a positive impression of them from my clinicals. I'm having a coup...

6. Can I be an RN with a mental illness?

   autonomyforall replied to BipolarMT's topic in Career Support

   Things like this make me sad. A person with diabetes wouldn't have to ask if they could be a nurse. Mental illness is a real illness, not some sort of character flaw. I would say that since you are actively treating your mental illness, that it would...

7. MCC Penn Valley ADN...What to Expect

   autonomyforall replied to Lilacs For Mom's topic in Missouri

   The program is going through some changes of leadership now, so my experience may not be the same for you. You will need a stethoscope, pen light, black or white shoes, black scrub bottoms, and something to hold your id on your shirt. They say you ne...

8. Age-slapped in the face!

   autonomyforall replied to hawaiicarl's topic in Humor

   I call people ma'am as respect. I know you can use miss for younger women, but that has always struck me as disrespectful, but that's probably because of all the times I was called "little missy," at the beginning of being berated for something. So f...

9. Nursing school advice! PLEASE help

   autonomyforall replied to Queeenp45's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would advise against a for profit school. Have you looked into getting an ADN from a community college? You can get your BSN as you're getting paid as an RN. Personally, I went through the same bad grade issues as you, but got accepted at my commun...

10. Student, mom, wife... In that order

    autonomyforall replied to Andreany9's topic in General Students

    I'm a 30 something mother of a two year old and I'm getting ready to start my last semester of my ADN program. I completely understand where you are coming from! For me, my prioritization has been: mother, wife, student. Becoming a nurse is important...
