   Hi! My situation is a bit different. I had been a nurse for almost 25 years when I suffered multiple occipital lobe strokes which affected my vision. My vision loss is approximately 75%. My remaining vision is 20/20. I was in school obtaining my...

2. Healthy People 2020

   cbccern replied to cbccern's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you so much! I am so questioning why I felt the need to continue my education right now. I suffered a few occipital lobe strokes and have lost more than 75% of my vision. I was terminated from my job, when I asked for reasonable accommodatio...

4. Sabotage? Failed by 0.1%

   cbccern replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

   I know that at this point, it probably feels like sabotage but it isn't. It is upsetting and distressing to you. I believe that most nursing instructors want to see students succeed. Try your best to look at this as a life lesson and carry on. Re...

5. Having Problem Locating Preceptor

   cbccern replied to cbccern's topic in General Students

   It is the student's responsibility to find a preceptor. I have advertised on Craigslist and can/will offer financial compensation for the time involved. I am just at my wt's end! I never dreamed it would be this difficult.

6. Having Problem Locating Preceptor

   cbccern replied to cbccern's topic in General Students

   Thanks scottishtape. It has to be a facility type of location with a BSN or higher degree in a leadership position. My former coworkers are all unable/unwilling to assist due to possible legal/employment ramifications. This situation really is hos...

9. Disability for Psych

   cbccern replied to Wiggyworld06's topic in Disabilities

   Receiving SS disability has no bearing on your nursing license. I would contact an attorney/attorneys (always good to get more than one opinion) who has experience working with nurses and their licensure and go with his or her recommendations. Best...

10. disability/becoming a nurse

    cbccern replied to neuron's topic in Disabilities

    Are you referring to applying for Social Security disability? I don't believe any school would frown upon it. Having applied for Social Security disability myself recently, it is not easy getting approved the first time (that is not to say that it ...

14. Willis-Knighton/LSUHSC Pay

    cbccern replied to goober_monger86's topic in Louisiana

    Go with LSUHSC. You cannot beat the pay increases and the experience. I worked for LSU for 17 plus years before moving to a huge metropolitan area. The benefits are great!!! I really miss "the" LSUHSC.

15. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    cbccern replied to nursehunnie's topic in Professionalism

    I don't think she came off as rude. She was venting about something that bothered her. I am not a LPN/LVN, but in my state of original licensure, you are NOT a nurse and are not legally permitted to call yourself a nurse until you have passed the l...
