hey all! i am a tn lpn and am moving into the boonies in east tn (last exit in tn before nc). i have a multi-state license here that will cover me for nc. it seems the closest hospital is haywood, nc and if anyone knows what else is in the ar...

dthfytr.... i too have had my final back injury and just took my test to see the degree of disability i have. my md put me on "sedentary" work restriction, and i could not believe this happened to be a topic! unfortunately a sitting job in an office ...

I am seriously considering applying to Ramapo and would appreciate any feedback. I have been an LPN for 6 years and a diploma program, while shorter, will only be a stepping stone to the BSN and I may as well just go straight for it. Any inpu...

Oh, and the reason I asked about quality is due to the fact that my micro prof merely read to us out of the book and put the book illustrations on the overhead. No lecture, no answering of questions. I didn't learn a thing....

ramble on! 8-2 is perfect since i work 3-11. the waiting list must be insane...when i inquired at mountainside for the quickie diploma, they said i could not start until 2011. ccm has no waiting list, or so they said...i just want to finally fini...

well, i certainly don't want to bore you! ok, since i have been worked to death lately, here are specifics i can come up with at the moment: 1) what are school day hours 2) what are clinical hours, and do they offer day or evening choices ...

thank you!!! now i just have to find out about what kind of work hours i can juggle around the schooling. i have to work at least 30 hrs a week while in school. (it can be done)

good lord, really? 12 hrs several days a week? i am married with 3 kids and i have to work....that will not do...i swear there is such an uproar about nursing shortages presently and to come, but the programs make it nearly impossible to accomplis...

I hope someone can suggest a good nursing agency to work for in northern NJ. From looking online, it seems most of the jobs are either in central or Southern Jersey. If you work for one in north Jersey do you like it? Definitely tell me why you ha...

no one? i'm changing my name to "threadkiller"....

there seems to be such an underlying sense of one-upmanship that pervades the nursing/medical fields. "oh, you're an lpn? how nice for you...when will you get your rn?" when the rn is achieved, "oh. just an rn? why not seek an advanced degree?" ...

I was made in the South, but my birth defect was being born in NJ. I moved to the South as soon as possible, and thought I left Jersey behind. I wanted to leave for all of the reasons you listed, and was never going to look back. Of course, we are...

PS. We dont pump our own gas!! I moved up North from the South recently (6/8) and the attendant freaked out when he heard my truck door open and flew over to me as if I were a criminal! I had to literally tell myself out loud and chant "DO NOT GET O...

i have aggressively begun seeking another job, and plan on changing by june 1. i finally have a vacation coming at the end of may (my first!) and do not plan to return. i have applied to many on the internet, and have a relatively local town to go to...

i have been doing private care for 18 mos, and it was fine at first, but now i am afraid for my license. my client is an adult, and the mother is a primary caregiver. i was accused of "drowning" him by giving him the ordered amount of water with his ...

i have never felt so used. the office guilting me into taking all those hours, the family demanding that i be there, and the resentment that surrounds me. i was only trying to be there for my client, and do my absolute most meticulous best, but it ...

miss otter, my first vacation ever is at the end of may, and is of all things a family reunion. thank god for that! i am ready to cry my eyes out. i have bent over backwards for these clients and my family benfitted from the paycheck, but that is ...

shoot...over time???? this may sound cruel, but i have a good idea of what house slaves went through in the war between the states. nothing is good enough, nothing is clean enough, and there aren't enough hours/days worked. i have become ocd, par...

i don't know why at my age i still turn to others who can empathize with me to help make a decision. i was the only nurse for that many months because the parent "cleaned house" and i was the only nurse left. the red flags were practically neon-li...

you are absolutely right! i have thought about it, and i am afraid that the parent will in some way come up with a way to accuse me of abandonment if i leave. i am losing my own mind now, because i have to be ocd perfect 200% of the time. if i am ...

you must live in deland!

i am a little late here, but i would check the neighborhoods very carefully. go to the fdle website and put in the address of where you are considering living. you may be shocked at the number of predators and offenders that are registered. imagin...

unless "placebo" is the name of a new drug, the order does not include the 5 (or 6) "rights". there is no drug name, no dose, no time, no mode of administration...you get it. i don't understand why if it was scanned to the phcy that they even knew ...

i love florida with all i got, but that was before i had kids and looked up the fdle website and was astounded at how many predators and offenders live in that state. in my town alone there were over 200 in a 5 mile radius of our house. my kids wer...

Holy smokes! I was in one of the big wrecks on 40 in the Gorge on Tuesday night! I was not allowed to leave early like I wanted to to avoid all the snow and ice, and was nearly sandwiched between one tractor trailer and the trailer of a jackknifed ...
