I have been very very blessed with a super loving, supportive husband and kids. Not only did my husband STRONGLY suggest I go back to school, he turned his whole life upside down in order for me to do it. We have 4 children and he was the director of...

35 when started ADN program. I will be 36, just about 37 when I graduate

Is this the same as the NET test?

I'm married to a RN (he's been one for 14 years). IMHO, (I have worked under him as his CNA at work, and believe me he was NOT easy on me) he is by far one of the best nurses around. I can only hope that when I graduate in May '08 I can be half the...

I'm going through the ADN program. In the beginning I was putting in about 5 hours a night. But now after a couple of months in the program, getting used to the classes,etc., I usually can put in about 2 - 2 1/2 hours a night studying (I have a gr...

I happen to be one of the forunate ones that can afford a phone. As far as the comment of "More than likely you would be just fine, and so would the kids." it is NOT about me....it's about my kids. I will not put anything before them and the odds ...

You obviously don't have kids.

"I can promise you that most cellphone calls in class are not emergencies...it's just people yacking "hey, whatcha doin'? Nothin'. How're you doin'? Fine. REALLY? No way!!!" In all the many years I've been in school,I have never ONCE seen someone get...

This happened a LONG time ago (about 16 yrs). I was working as a CNA in a nursing home. While visiting the other hallway ( I did not work this hallway) around 3 am, one of the LPNs working decided it was time to do a round (we worked 11p -- 7 a) on...

I would be highly upset if I was told my cellphone HAD to be off during class. I have 4 kids and they (or the school) must have a way to get ahold of me. They have been told to call my husband first, but if he can't be reached then I am called. My...

Including everything so far mentioned in the clipboard compartment....I have a Tide pen, just in case the spaghetti sauce I had for lunch got lost on the way to my mouth. At my nursing school our uniforms are WHITE....all WHITE. I need my Tide p...

Hi, Here's Florida's site. You just enter the name and choose a license and it will tell you how long the person has been licensed and if their status is clear. http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/irm00praes/praslist.asp And here's the Nursing Spectrum (maga...

I work in a hospital were the parents named their son, King Arthur. King as the first name and Arthur as the middle name. Dad said the next child would be Prince (or Princess) Arthur. Yes, even if it's a girl. Dawn

Just started Nursing school (RN) about 4 weeks ago and our instructors, Mrs. C and Mrs P are our heros. Many of us are already having anxiety attacks with the thoughts they won't be with us during our second year....our second year is in Aug. 2007!!!...

Some places won't allow you to use vacation time or personal time to make up the difference.

What about getting a deferment until your loans come through? I have had to do that while doing my pre-reqs. Also try going to your local hospital and seeing if they might be able to help. Good Luck

Hi my name is Dawn. And I'm starting my first year (ADN) on Aug 23. Same as everyone else...pretty nervous here as well. Been on the waiting list since Dec 2004. I have 4 kids 14, 12, 11, and 9. My husband is a RN. Good Luck to everyone start...
