Hello, I'm heading back to work after being home w/ my family for 10+ years. I've interviewed at a couple of places (LTC and a hospital). The first LTC place I applied at actually called me and told me their positions were full for the moment, but th...

Do you have them, and what are their responsibilities? Thanks in advance.

Hi. I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had 3 miscarriages, and two stillborn babies, so I understand how much it truely hurts. I'm new to the nicu... but being as I just lost a baby in June, it's still raw, and seeing those tiny hands and feet sometime...

Congratulations, and best wishes on the job hunt! ~Amy

Good luck on your exam! I went to LNA Health Careers too. I had NO problems w/ the state test... and I got all three jobs I interviewed for (I accepted two of them!). Good luck, and hope you enjoy being an LNA. ~Amy

I did leave a v/m saying I realize she's probably still interviewing for the position, but I was wondering if there was a time frame in which she expected to fill the position. That way if she said they were going to interview candidates for the next...

Hello, I'm interviewing for a position with a rotating shift. Three 3-11's and one 7-7 with every other weekend off. Just looking for suggestions on how to cover childcare when my husband doesn't get home until 7pm, and my kids get home from school ...

I'm not a nurse yet (although my goal is to be a L&D nurse when I'm done w/ school), but I have had two stillborn babies, 3 live births and 3 miscarriages. I agree 100% with MarySunshine. Having some time to spend with your baby, and having some ...

Hi I have my degree in ECE, got it back in '93, so I have the basic english courses, intro to psych and human growth and dev. I took A&P 1 and 2 last year...so I 'thought' I had a pretty good foundation to apply for the ADN program...now I'm hear...

Hi I'm not an o/b nurse (that's my long term goal) but I did loose two babies...so I understand your concern. It is very possible that the placenta will move up. I'd say for now you can rest assured that it's not covering the cervix...and take rest i...

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately It looks like it all depends on the school. This road keeps getting longer and longer! Oh well... ~Amy

Hi I'm still in the process of getting transcripts together so I can apply...but I know someone who goes to NHTI in Concord...he said he chose that school over NHCTC b/c it has better stats of students passing the NCLEX. St. Joes in Nashua has an RN ...

Hi I've looked into both scenarios too. I have my degree in ECE, but have wanted to go back for nursing for quite some time. I figured all along I'd get my BSN, but after much thought...I'm going to go w/ the ADN instead. Like you I have three young ...

I agree 100%. I just finished my cna class last night, and I passed the state exam this morning. I've been taking pre-req's for the RN program the past few semesters...and this was a piece of cake compared to that. The only nerve-wracking thing to me...

I guess my title said it best. If you have kids in school, is it better to work nights, and sleep when there in school? Or, is it easier to work 7-3, and get before school care? If so, then what do you do during the summers, or vacations or snow days...

Thanks for the input. I'll be working as a CNA, and in January will be taking more classes towards my RN, so I wanted to see what worked out the best while juggling kids. I think nights/weekends will probably be the way to go for a while! Thanks! ~Am...

You are so right. My grandmother delivered a stillborn baby in her 6th month in 1950. She was telling me the story when I was in highschool after I asked her why she only had three kids (dumb question I soon realized). She sad "I'll never forget how ...

OH, that's a huge pet peeve of mine too. With my 14 week loss, they kept saying "product of conception" in reference to the chromosomal testing we had done. Then they told me it was a boy, so it went from just an object, to a lost son, and a brother ...

Wow, what touching stories. In my opinion... if you work in L&D, and have been through a loss, maybe just a statement like "I have been there, and I understand, so if you want to talk let me know" might be enough to open a doorway for a mother w...

Wow, what a great topic. I just found this website tonight and I'm truely amazed by this thread. I'm also a mother who has had multiple losses. I had my third pregnancy end in miscarriage at 14 weeks. I didn't get much support on that one, and I thin...

By the way NHMommy, where are you going to school? Just curious.

I just heard tonight that pay is in the $9-12 dollar range for new graduates. Personally, I wouldn't choose a job for what pays the best, or what place will re-imburse you. Go with the place you think you'd be happiest working. If you work someplace ...

I agree with this whole heartedly. I'm going to LNA Health Careers in Manchester and I've had no problem. I wouldn't even say it's been dull (well, except for the first night). Dorrie Smith is the instructor and she's been great! I'd recommend the s...
