It seems everyone but me is going to the straight 2 year program

I chose Morton Plant as my first choice as well. I had my baby there and I feel some type of attachment and loved it while i was a patient there!

How do you know what spot you had?

I got in! Got my email at 4:00pm. Congrats everyone! Who's lpn to rn?

Anyone find out yet???

Hi guys!! I'm also awaiting the results for the lpn to rn transition today! Fingers crossed. Good luck to you all... I'm currently taking microbiology and statistics. Not sure if that was a smart decision lol

This is so true! I cant stand those advisors.

Thanks for all the responses guys! Asking him " Would you like me to walk away and come back in a few minutes when you're more calm?" He immediately takes a breath and says "No I'm calm, I'm calm" . And then we start over. I Still think there's a long way to go though.

They never gave me any of that info and there is nothing that shows his exact history. I'll try to find out. Thanks for the advice!

I work home health as one of my jobs and I have a client who has a brain injury from asphyxiation. He can hold conversations, he has ok memory. He's also a quad and requires everything done for him. The problem is that sometimes something small can set him off and he will call me everything in the book. "Wh***, Sl**, B****, Stupid, Suck my D***!, Cu**) These are all the colorful words he chooses. He'll then ask me to do something for him right after it I walk away. He'll ask for water, or something like scratching his head, and for a second it feels a little demeaning. I've been in health care for 8 years. A nurse for a year and a half and usually in a situation where I can walk away for a few minutes. I normally dont take these things personally, especially from patients who literally have psych issues, it doesn't get to me. But with someone who still is kinda with it and can hold conversations and a good amount of time is sweet. I notice I take it personal and get upset. I'll tell him " Its not necessary to talk to me that way, I'm just trying to help you" he then explodes even more. It's frustrating and I'm understanding why it's so difficult for this family to keep nurses. I would love advice on how you guys handle these situations. I'm wondering if I should give up this case for my own sanity. Am I being insensitive to his explosions?
