1. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

   MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Ruby, I appreciate your comment. Having said that, I do believe you misunderstood my thread. My situation involves my concern over the nurses in my family not offering advice and assistance in regards to learning more about the nursing profession....

2. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

   MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

   Awesome responses! I want to respond to each and every one of you, but I just got out of CNA class and am a bit tired. One thing about me: I have always been independent and a loner - if I need something done, i'd do it myself. I don't ask people for...

3. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

   MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you everyone for your responses. I am aware that I must do this all on my own, and that this is indeed my life. However, just like allnurses.com has become an online "family" and resource center, I assumed that my own family would be the same f...

   Calling all you nurturing, sensitive, caring, and extremely empathetic nurses out there - I need some advice!! I have some nurses in my family, and also one who is currently in LPN school. I thought since I am interested in becoming a nurse, that I c...

5. "The Mean Girl"

   MedNurse2k replied to NamasteNurse's topic in CNA/MA

   I'd report her - point blank. Both of my grandparents passed away in hospital settings, and there were numerous times when I saw rude nurses or assistants caring for them. So that bothers me to see CNA's or anyone not doing there job properly. Like I...

6. Are all LTC jobs like this?

   MedNurse2k replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in CNA/MA

   I so feel for you! You are a rare person, like myself, who is extremely sensitive. People like us are few and far between, so you may notice that many people can not relate to you. I've been there, and even still have my days. I am in CNA school (jus...

7. Lincoln Tech's FIRST LPN Class - Should I Attend??

   MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you Katnip and MollyPita, I don't think it was meant for me to meet with the Admissions Counselor, because as I was walking to the train station (nope, don't have a car yet), it began raining really hard and the wind was blowing my umbrella ar...

8. Lincoln Tech's FIRST LPN Class - Should I Attend??

   MedNurse2k posted a topic in General Nursing

   Please feel free to move this, should this not be in the correct forum. I just recently, as of 20 minutes ago, found out that Lincoln Tech in my area will be offering a LPN program; it's Full-Time, Monday-Friday from 8AM-4PM (not sure when clinicals ...

9. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

   MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN-RN

   Update: I am starting a part-time job on Monday (non-medical related), which is extremely flexible. I'm going to get CPR certified soon, and also volunteer at my local hospital. THE CNA route would have cost me $1400! I called literally ever nursing ...

    MedNurse2k replied to fancyme50's topic in LPN-RN

    My mother-in-law just turned 51 in January, and also started an LPN program in San Diego during the same month! It can be accomplished!!

11. Lost my job....

    MedNurse2k replied to adorblepuppy's topic in CNA/MA

    Rather than give up so quickly, why don't you call your job and speak openly and honestly to the boss/supervisor. Explain to them that you are sorry for how you ended things. This job is important, as they will be used as references when you seek ano...

12. Lost my job....

    MedNurse2k replied to adorblepuppy's topic in CNA/MA

    Hi, I am sorry that you lost your job, especially in this economy. Was there a way for you to call your boss on your way/or while at the family location? Waiting until you return was kind of pushing it. Don't get me wrong, my heart goes out to you. W...

    Thank you for all of these great ideas/options. The local community colleges are all filled up for this year and are currently accepting people for September 2010. Plus they all require that I have completed a list of pre-requisites, which I have not...

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN-RN

    Thanks for your reply. To clarify, I left the position due to poor support from the company overall, and various other reasons. I did not leave to focus on school. After coming home depressed on numerous occassions and finding myself crying in the ba...
