I just want to ask every one if and how I could possibly get back into med/surg? I have been out of nursing for awhile due to some craziness in my life and now I would like to get back to it but am finding most jobs are with travel companies who want...

Was Dr. Cronkey still at CMC, OH that Doc at Allied was Dr. Aronica. He was the head doc. Nice guy.

I:monkeydance: ate at the Glider Diner as a kid. Also did my LPN clinicals at CMC and spent many months as a pt. on the ortho floor when Dr. Stienbach was still there I heard he died of Cancer, too bad that was one great doc, Stiendel was ok too, bu...

I'm sorry I must be missing something. at first he just threatened to sue you he didn't threaten you with bodily harm. It seems your reaction is what triggered him with the foul mouth. Maybe you just over reacted a little. People often under stress s...

\ \Hi I grew up in PA but never heard of it. What major cities are near there? Kind of have an idea where Lancaster is.

It sure is nice to hear from some one from home. or at least staying there. The hill section has really changed, that used to be the elite area. If I'm not mistaken that isn't the best part of town. I went to North Scranton Junior High when we lived ...

they have been redoing downtown for the past thirty years. The mall is nice, but I miss all the old stores. Change is hard. When I was a kid the thanksgiving game was a biggy between Central and Tech. The only thing still there is Coney Island and a ...

and what did they do to Scranton Tech and Central High School? Who plays the thanksgiving football game now since the schools were combined? I also got my LPN from Lackawanna area vo tech. Now I am an RN.

can't believe some on is actually from Scranton, Pa. that little coal minning city is dead. they even killed Nay Aug Park. Ha Ha

most hospitals have tuition reimbursment. But you have to pay first. some hospitals after school offer tuition forgiveness. shop around. I lived in Albuquerque for 11 years and loved it. UNM is great the hospital is fantastic. Could never get better ...

They also thought I was not white because I had a tan. Some one asked me " How did you get that colored skin"? my reply "The sun" Ha Ha it's not really funny.

I am originalloy from PA. they had ice storms. I can handle the cold, I have a problem handling the cold people at times.

I am in a small town/city. Moved here because family was here. Been forced to move into a place that has a bad reputation. Because I am not working, because I couldn't get a nursing job and living in this place I am not considered "a Lady" I am an o...

I agree. There doesn't seem to be any real answers. Why would we want to bring out the worst in people? prevention or catching the disease early is always easier to treat. But, for decades everyone has turned the other way when they could have done s...

I agree, I don't fit in and am actually being made fun of for being here. Can't get work and am being made to look like I am a prostitute because I am not working. and I don't DRINK

I have worked in Many LTC facilities. I remember when the MDS's were initiated. Some places just plug in their own data, not always factual but they made everything jive. I overheard an MDS cordinator tell an LPN to just copy what the day nurse wrote...

I still think these people are just not being treated properly. Their lives are chaiotic for a reason and blaming them isn't going to change that. Look around our world is chaotic and to expect some one that is being abused by this society to know ho...

I had a pt. with this many years ago during my clinicals. He bragged about it and stated he was there because he had committed murder. He was in with depressed pts.and all the other non-violent pts. I found this scary because he was always going off.

this is a rural area also. money is a big issue.

I would like to give you a fictional person's history and get some feed back. Here goes. This woman in her 40's suffered childhood abuse, both physical and sexual. No family support was in foster care as a child, married had 2 children husband died e...

I already checked around, there just isn't anything.

Thanks, it has a lot to do with the location I am in.

unfortunately she isn't getting any kind of help and is fumbling around on her own.

This is scary. But I know there are nurses out there like this. I honestly believe if you treat people the way you would want to be treated they would trust you. I would like to know what you are qualified to teach "them" ?

doesn't sound like she was really a friend to begin with. I recently called to see if I could get some one to talk to because of all the problems that I am going through and was told that without insurance they couln't help me. The county mental heal...
