1. Some seem to thinking nursing shortage means not needing to pay dues?

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   ROFLOL... I have six kids. They all know if they want something, they work for it. They know how hard we work to provide for them and that we don't get anything handed to us, and neither will they. I get constant compliments from their teachers... fo...

2. Some seem to thinking nursing shortage means not needing to pay dues?

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am SO dealing with this right now. My year as a new grad is up next week.... although I realize I still have sooooo much more to learn and new "new to me" experiences that I want to get under my belt. I was also lucky because I prefer night shift ...

3. RN students that work and have kids

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to TRMR5's topic in General Students

   It's not easy, but it is certainly possible. I am finishing up my first year as an RN. During that year I have gotten both my PALS and ENCP certifications and have cross trained from my area (pediatrics) to ped ED, NICU, postpartum and peds burn. Dur...

4. Student moms who homeschool

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to studentmom2007's topic in General Students

   Loved K12, used it successfully throughout nursing school. I did end up putting my older kids (15, 12, 9, 7) in charter schools this year (due to my husband's poor health) but I homeschooled all through nursing school and had the third highest GPA. I...

5. I need your advice please - Please read

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to tiffany311's topic in General Students

   Oh, ouch. Tiffany, I know what it feels like to be on the negative end of somebody else's issues. I had the nursing chair from hell... she didn't like women who had families (thought we all should devote 100% of ourselves to our callings and that wom...

   The daycare is horrible. Many of my friends had to go pick up their kids who were not watched properly and they got bitten or hit. In addition, you cannot use the daycare when you are in clinicals, only when you are in class onsite. I wouldn't put my...

7. Navy Nurse Questions

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to belabelisa's topic in Government

   LOL, I found one of my own answers. Hypothyroidism is only a disqualifier if it is uncontrolled (mine is not) and ADHD is only a disqualification if I'm on meds (or have been within a year)... so, time to get off the Adderall. I only went on it becau...

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to belabelisa's topic in Government

   First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in this thread. It has been extremely informative and has definitely let me know that I'm making a sane and rational decision. I've kind of chuckled over some of the comments about how hard the...

   Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona

   Actually, I had the third highest grade in my class and received the Nursing Chair Award of Excellence, the top award the school offers. I've worked in the healthcare field for over 8 years and in many different areas... from SICU to med-surg, to po...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona

    I am attending UoP right now and I agree, I'm learning a lot. I have friends who are already signed up with Grand Canyon. Technically I believe they don't take the "credits" but there is some sort of a matriculation agreement in place to accept the...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona

    I am aware that the director left for health reasons. However... teachers? All the best teachers have left... In reviewing what teachers are still there, there is only one that I would trust what she says at all. She is wonderful, but it is only h...

12. Ethel Bauer Schedule?

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to azmistie's topic in Arizona

    Let you know ahead of time??? They changed one girl's schedule three times in ONE DAY! Granted, she didn't have kids, but does that make it right? They never understood anything about us having families. We were told tough, deal with it. If you do ...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona

    Okay.... now I can post from the perspective of a recent grad... I passed the NCLEX on the first try, as did most of my class. I do not have exact statistics on our particular class and I don't know how that will affect the overall pass rate. But I c...

14. LTC tips please!!!...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Like a pp stated, you may be able to do a CNAs job, but the CNA can't do yours. When I was a CNA, I tried to make sure that I did everything I could do so that my nurses could do the things only they could do... and I made sure they knew that was my...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida

    Look, if you have to work you have to work... To update from my post above, I am now working full time as an LPN in a pediatric long term care facility. I get home from my 12 hour shifts and practically pass out on the couch because I'm so tired. Bu...
