Congrats!!!! Give us details. Are you going for RN or BSN? What is your background. I guess I am just very interested because we are the same age bracket and I am a wreck waiting on my letter. I...
Cherokee county schools are good. Just sold our house out there. Little less expensive than Alpharetta. Also taxes lower than Fulton. Cumming, GA also very good. Good schools, low taxes, lots of...

I am so sorry that you just lost your dad. My prayers are with you. I am taking the LPN route and then do the bridge over to ADN. Not sure if I would do the BSN. Have not decided yet. I already...
Don't let this person ruin your day. Who knows, you may decide one day to become a PA, a RN a NP or anything else for that matter. Our titles do not define us.
I get nervous when I see messages like this. Yes, I know nurses are not supposed to make mistakes, but I can see it happening. We are human, and even though not intentional anything can happen. I...
I am wondering about this also. I already have a B.S. in business management plus many years of experience. I think I am just going to go for ADN. I may pursue NP in the future after I work a few...

I am way older than you and going back. Here is what inspired me. My aunt is 89 years old and still gets around. Now, if I happen to live that long-I have about 50% more of my life to live....
Rachel, Good for you! I am a 40+ year old marketing and communication individual. Bachelor of science in Business with major in marketing. I have had great jobs. Spent 14 years with one great...
This is my dream. I want my children to see the United States. I have even thought of buying an rv to live in. Who cares about a house! I would just need to find an area to park it. My mother...
I think the poster means the country of Panama. Also, many of our seniors are moving to Mexico. There is an entire community of them in Chapala, MX. The reason--healthcare. Meds are cheaper,...

I am starting nursing school as well. My concern is the toxic environment that I keep reading about in medical settings. No, I do not expect everyone to get along, but I do expect a workplace that...
Please do not bite my head off. I believe nurses should make far more than the 17-20 per hour that I am seeing on this board. I know people who answer phones at a call center who earn 15. Now that...
My prayers are with you. This is such a difficult time in your life. It might possibly help you with your grief if you go ahead with your school. Especially if it something that your mom wanted you...
Cherokee county is a great area to live in. I spent the last 5 years there. We just moved to midwest from there (which I am sick about!) Anyway, cherokee has great schools, interstate 575 to 75 all...
I am having the same issues. I am looking for part time work just while I go to school. I applied to hospitals, nursing homes ect, no luck. Ok, so then I go to the temp agencies. More for like...
Don't wait too late is my advice. I ended up having to use fertility drugs for my first 2 sons. One is 11 and the other is 8. HOWEVER, I had another little boy 7 years ago with no drugs whatsoever...
Just another article. Nothing new in it or newsworthy really. I did not see anything derogatory in it. Talked about the huge demand for PA's. Nothing noted about
Do credit issues affect your employment in nursing? I am coming from a business background and they do credit checks everywhere before hiring. I am sick and tired of people wanting to know what my...
Rita, This concerns me. Everywhere I look I see jobs advertised. I keep hearing about this so called nurse shortage. As a student, I sure do not want to go through all of nursing school, ect only to...

On a side note, I went to our local chain pharmacy the other night. Picked up a script for husband. Completely wrong drug. Was supposed to be for someone else. Had husband's name on it but was...
