  1. A & P at Gordon College

    ladside replied to stacykay11's topic in Georgia Nursing

    ladside replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ladside replied to bsn2b2013's topic in General Nursing

    ladside replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, I welcome you into the nursing field. I've been an LPN for 23 years this year and I work at a hospital. But because they were cancelling me so much, along with RNs, I enrolled in college. Once...

  5. LVN Hospital Jobs

    ladside replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

    ladside replied to Arianna_Marie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this is what you want to do, you find every concession to make it happen. If you have supportive family, that is wonderful. But ultimately, YOU have to make this happen for YOU and YOUR family. My...

  8. Falling apart after only 5 days as a new rn

    ladside replied to erin01's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Relax and breathe! Don't panic. If your child is of daycare age, you've got quite a ways to go with juggling live at home and life at work. Life happens to us on and off the job. Though I truly...

  9. I do not care anymore

    ladside replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    We, as nurses, tend to take out job too personally. After all, we are dealing with flesh and blood....the very basics of life. But when burn-out sets in, you want to say to h**l with flesh and blood...

  10. LVN Hospital Jobs

    ladside replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

  11. LVN Hospital Jobs

    ladside replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

  13. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    ladside replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

  14. Racism in the workplace

    ladside replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    I need you to help me with A&P. I guess everybody knows by now that I need help with A&P. If you were amy brother, I would call you an egghead. But since you are unrelated, it must be just...

  15. HELP Everyone says I can't be a Nurse!

    ladside replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ladside replied to healer27's topic in First Year After Licensure

  21. fed up and set up

    ladside replied to knockandhello's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I truly enjoy LTC but I remain in med/surg because with the amount of medications given compared to the time allotted, it's impossible to "do the right thing". This time does not take into account the...

    ladside replied to tria06's topic in Georgia Nursing

  23. fed up and set up

    ladside replied to knockandhello's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  24. are there opportunities for LPNs/LVNs outside of LTCs?

    ladside replied to Finallyy's topic in Nursing Career

  25. So what is there besides working in a hospital...?

    ladside replied to New2ER's topic in First Year After Licensure
