   mizzou_ivy replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in North Carolina

   No I graduated in Illinois. I have been told that Illinois has alot of red tape to go through in order to get your ATT. I haven't had a problem with that. Now I am just waiting and praying for my results. Good luck! Hope you get the ATT soon.

   mizzou_ivy replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

   Not to start a fight but how do you have time to check up on another nurse and berate her skills if you are doing your job? I know that when I work I do not have the time, energy, or ranking to check up on what everyone else is doing. MVI are stock a...

7. Can you sue your instructor?

   mizzou_ivy replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

   What would be the point? All that time and energy spent for retribution when the energy could be spent studying and deciding if nursing is really for you. Not a harsh comment only the truth. It's a hard education but an even harder job. What happens ...

13. Difficulty with a CNA

    mizzou_ivy replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    Even though we are told not to many of us bring our personal problems to work. I have been a nurse for many years and it seems that I have stellar CNA/helpers but then others are just plain worthless. I have one that spends her time looking for the...

14. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    mizzou_ivy replied to Faye1's topic in General Nursing

    I believe your husband offers a valid point. As a nurse of a few years and many different experiences there are days I would chuck it to work drive-thru. But you hang in there and something small (i.e. a simple smile from a child to a heartfelt thank...
