I'm 34 and a pre-nursing student. I'm also an avid writer and have been torn between becoming a Journalist and a Nurse. I register for classes again on 11/16 and need to have made a choice by then....
It's funny because I left the world of HR and I seem to be spouting law here on this board and awful lot. It sounds to me like your professor did violate ADA by refusing to wear the amplifier as it...
I have to agree with the others. If you're able to afford the gas and time that the drive will demand, I'd go for it. In the same time it would take to become a LPN, you could be a RN. Good
It's hard to say whether those are pre-reqs or remedial courses. I looked into a LVN program at a technical school (equivalent to your LPN) and took their test as well. All I needed was a current...

You'd be doing her a huge favor if you did that. Before leaving to go back to school for nursing, I was in Human Resources and we've terminated people for this very reason. The hospital would be bound...

Are you set on catering to little old ladies only? There are a lot of widowers out there who could probably use some help, too. I'd say be VERY specific in the naming because there are a lot of...
You'd think these guys would learn after being passed up for jobs time after time. My brother was like this, he'd get passed up time and time again but he'd always come up with an
I've left positions over the years, taking a salary cut for the learing experiences available, and I always caught up quickly. I agree that you answered your own question. Go for
Okay, it it's too late for you then it's REALLY too late for me, as I'm 34 and starting new, as well. I'll be just shy of 40 when I graduate. Interestingly enough, I want to get into the same field...
My mom is in school and has the same test taking block. She also cannot retain anything she reads. She finally began reading her text book out loud and recording it on micro disk. She then plays it...
