  1. Second Degree Nursing Students

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Sirena922's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's $34,000.00, but you're right, the financial aid office would know best. I am a second degree student and I've tapped out at $34,000.00. Now, I'm on the "pay as you go plan!" Here's a...

  2. The "death smell"

    Miss Chybil RN replied to flobbadob's topic in General Nursing

  4. Our prison made the news...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to MadisonsMomRN's topic in Correctional

    I learned a few things working in the jail as a detention officer. 1. Whether you're an inmate, or an officer, making the news is always bad. (Unless, you make it for singing in "Jail Idol," then...

  6. Beloved Nurse Professionals (long)

    Miss Chybil RN replied to julesradio's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my pre-reqs, so I can't help you with your nursing questions. I can offer you some overall advice. ONE DAY AT A TIME. That's all you can do. One day at a time, one class at a time...

  7. Need counseling on a life decision

    Miss Chybil RN replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school, per se, is not a "life or death necessity." Being healthy enough - physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and mentally - to care for yourself and your children is. A...

  8. Need counseling on a life decision

  9. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

  11. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    Miss Chybil RN replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    I'd like to gently suggest you try an Al-Anon meeting. If that's too much for you, get a copy of the book "How Al-Anon Works." Substitute the word gambling for alcohol and see if you don't find some...

  12. Becoming An Rn Online....!!!!!!!!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to FutureRN_05's topic in General Nursing

  14. Fibromyalgia

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Exercise definitely helps, but it is not the magic bullet, either. Seeing as we all need exercise, anyway, hey let's go for it! I exercise much more now than I ever did before I started having...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

  17. Fibromyalgia

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    I've had fibromyalgia for the last 7 years. I have been doing a lot of research on my own trying to find an underlying cause. "We don't know what it is..." just doesn't cut it for me. People have...
