  1. I didn't get into UTSAHSC BSN program..

    This is exactly why I am getting my LPN first. I am not a straight A student. Did not get a 4.0 with my first BS degree. Got a 3.5 and thought that was good enough. Not going to stress myself out...
  2. about the bird flu......

    I also agree. We sure cannot depend on our government to protect and inform us. They have already proven that. They cannot even manage fema. I would not be concerned except that I have children...
  3. about the bird flu......

    My grandmother had this supposed flu (according to my mother) in 1918. She was very young and she did survive but was very ill. I do not know what the differences are. I was told that she had the...

    I will be taking a and p 1 over the summer. Am worried about it. Bought the book today and starting to study ahead
  5. Jobs worked to get through school

    I am working at Macy's. They know I am going to school and I can schedule around that. Plus, I get to know what it is like to stand on my feet for
  6. Help with Anatomy class

    Hi Terry, I am also 40is and trying to get into the lpn class for this fall. Almost impossible to get into the ADN course. I figure I can bridge to the RN after I complete the LPN plus I have no...
  7. Question????

    You need to look out for #1 and that is you. It is unfortunate that the world has come to this--but would they look out for you? Now, having said that if I knew I was absolutely going to leave I...
  8. Nursing Student looking for advice from OB or L&D nurses

    I had gestational diabetes and delivered my son at 37 weeks. I was carefully monitered but did end up having an emergency c section. He weighted 6 lbs, 6 ounces. I had 2 babies after him and did...
  9. Please Read (knee surgery)

    I find this incredible that we have illegals coming across our borders and the hospitals have to take them, They do not have to pay, yet here is a citizen (I assume) who is in dire need and no one to...
  10. This Site has Jaded My View of Nursing

    Drysolong is absolutely correct. It does not matter what profession. I have even seen the "eating" among stay at home moms in my old neighborhood. Some felt superior because little Jonny did this...
  11. Indiana towns and cities

    D, I live in Fishers, IN which is on the northeast side of Indpls. I used to live in Carmel. Carmel is more expensive, but both school systems are exceptional. My sons attend Hamilton Southeastern...
  12. Indy schools... Marian, IUPUI?

    Hi Indy gal, I am wondering the same. I attended the Marion College information session. It is very expensive. They do have a 5,000.00 scholarship available to those of us who already have a...
  13. Frustrated with SIL care

    It is all about corporate greed. They do not care about the patients. The bottom line is what can they show the shareholders. And I am all for a company making a profit! My mom and I were talking...
  14. nursing a calling?

    I am tired of hearing that nursing is a calling. I do not want to sound mean spirited, however, do you think healthcare is a calling for ceo's? Nurses have a right to earn a living wage! Secondly,...
  15. Start first job tonight as LPN in LTC

    Good luck! I am a student and I know I will want to work nights when I finish. One thing I have noticed when I am studying--if I eat a chocolate bar (not the healthiest thing!) I have no problem...
  16. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    I have a feeling that bankruptcies will be on the rise again in this country very soon. Many first time home buyers took out those ARM products and now interest rates are rising. They may have...
  17. When do you plan to retire?

    I did retire for a short while from my business career. I was a saver. Saved a ton and lived frugally. After I "retired" my DH lost his job and suffered a massive heart attack at 40. It cost me...
  18. Nurses and back problems

    I hope not. I have a bad back and bad knees. Going to dr. next week let him know I am going to NS and what can I do about it. I read about one lady on here in her late 50's who said she drinks alot...
  19. Harder to get hired with a BSN?

    Not true. In our local hospitals, BSN's get .25/more per hour. What you will eventually see (actually I am already seeing). Hospitals will want the BSN at the ADN payscale. I am seeing more and...
  20. Okay people lets get to the point!!!

    Oh, and if you do not believe me, then tell me why there are so many on this board from foreign countries (not specific to any one country) wanting to find out how to get "sponsored" by a
  21. Okay people lets get to the point!!!

    I believe the day of the bonuses is coming to an end. Also, most likely, salaries will be coming down. See what Ohio is doing. Why do I think this. Look at other industries. If the powers that be...
  22. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    If financial history speaks to character, then what is the character of our politicians? Just a thought. Do they deserve to be "employed" since running up massive
  23. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    There sure are some criticizing people on this board. Geez, I sure hope they never get sick or have something really bad happen to them. I know people who have filed that would never have imagined...
  24. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Personally, I am suprised that their has not been an uprising in this country over what is going on with our personal lives. Everything is tracked. Your bank accounts. Employers checking your...
  25. sorry, i have to vent, I am losing my MIND!!!

    I am in the same boat! My husband is almost 50 and they do not change. I have begged, cried, pleaded with him to stop his spending and he will not. He has no savings, retirement, ect..all because...
