  2. Sitting on pins and needles!

    I, too, was worried about being too old. My great aunt is 90 years old and still kicking. So, I figure, I am only at the half way mark of my life. Time to move to the next chapter!!! Good
  3. Online A&P I

    Kirk, It is probably doable to complete the online version of A and P 1. I chose to drive about 30 miles to attend. However, my instructor has most of her coursework online. Probably, the only...

    401k. Which means I basically have to start my retirement savings all over. Oh well, I will be working forever
  6. Big bad nurse bully

    Bullies deflate the morale of the entire team. Trust me patients can feel the tension. Also causes individuals to call in sick, not get along, too much stress. No place for them in TODAY's...

  9. freaking out! now what???

    The horror stories I can tell about my marketing career would make your hair stand on end! I saw people fired because someone did not like them. Saw incompetent people promoted because of the...
  10. ADN vs. BSN

    Tweety, that is my plan. I am starting with the lpn this fall (quickest way into ns school). Then bridge over--my college said it is much easier to bridge over and you are almost guaranteed a spot...
  11. Am I too old?

    Also, I would like to note, we that are in our 40's have a possible life expectancy of living into our 80's. That means we have another lifetime to live. When you think of it that way, we are not so...
  12. Am I too old?

    I also hope I am not too old. I am starting with lpn school this fall. I would like to be a NP eventually. Maybe even a geriatric np. I guess I would not be old, I would just be one of them LOL!!!...
  13. Nervous Wreck- Help!!!!

    Is it possible that stress also makes the condition worse. I admit I know little about it, but my hands shake a little when I am stressed. I talked to my mother about it and she said she has had it...
  14. Do you ever have good days as a nurse?

    I also want to thank you for these wonderful posts! As a student, I just wanted to hear about someone who actually enjoyed their job. Thanks
  15. Once You Lose,you're History!

    Is it easy to loose your license? This concerns me. What if I make a mistake. I read all the time on this forum about people that make mistakes. This scares me to
  16. I am nervous. However, I believe it is more of a fear of the unknown. I am taking a different route. I was accepted into the LPN program. I did not want to wait for the RN program and it is so...
  17. Medical Assistant Or LPN?

    I asked the MA at my dr's office what she planned to do. She said she was going to be a nurse. Said she does not make any
  18. Do you love/hate your profession?

    Angelic, Scares me to death too! However, I think people, in general, do not act very well today, in any profession. I have tried to figure out why that this takes place, but cannot find any...
  19. Just quit my first nursing job.

    I am curious, how many patients were you responsible for. I have been reading like a maniac and most nurse/patient ratio's are far too high. Thus, the mandated (supposed) ratio's in California....
  20. ABC bird flu made-for-TV movie

    This is an interesting link--no wonder the public is scared
  21. ABC bird flu made-for-TV movie

  22. Am I too old?

    I am starting lpn school this fall and will bridge over to the rn program after that. This was the fastest way for me to get in. Wait list not so long for the lpn. Wait list was horrible for the...
  23. How narrow is the path?

    Scary, I am taking a and p 1 this summer. I bought the book 2 months ago and have been reading ahead. I pray I pass this
  24. Any PN students here?....

    Count me in. I just got accepted into the LPN program. Lots of people asked me why I did not just go for the accelerated BSN. My SIL is a RN, and she said the LPN gives a good foundation to build...
  25. Please take pity and help me!
