I am really wanting out of Arkansas as soon as my daughter graduates hs. I have been researching Colorado Springs. So far it appears to get a 3br,2bath home it is going to cost around $180-200,000. What about utilities and car & homeowners insura...

At age 45 I think I have finally figured out what I want to do when I grow up. I think I would like to be in ostomy education for my patients. I am just an LPN now, do I have to have my BSN for this? I have always heard to be in any education field ...

Yes I need more money, but more money doesnt help if I still have 13 and 14 patients. Its a vicious circle. In my LPN opinion, to keep nurses, and to help me from hating my job, is more staffing first, then more pay.

I have been a telem. nurse for over a year now.

in arkansas i have a 3br, 2bath, 1703 sq. ft. home that was new when i moved in a little over 3 yrs. ago, and i had to pay $91,400. So when I see what the houses look like and their sq. footage researching on the computer, i will confess, i have to p...

Ok guys, I am really seriously thinking about having gastric bypass next summer! I need to have some of your advice on this! Should I? Or Shouldn't I?

Thanks guys for all the info. I am going to do some more research! It's not going to be a easy decision, but I will keep you updated! Thanks again!

To the poster who thinks all we "obese" people need to do is quit eating. Did I get overweight from eating, duh....! Now the real question YOU should be asking is WHY? I use food as a fix! I suffer from depression, and when my depression reared i...

Am I wanting to do this for cosmetic reasons? Sure! I mean, I am over 100 lbs overweight. I have high blood pressure; acid reflux, depression, and we all know this weight isn't good for my heart. I am newly divorced( a little over 2 yrs now), and...

44 here! Just graduated LPN school this past June, now in RN ASN school. Will be 45 when done! Do you think I am going thru a mid life crises like my ex?

I have a bone to pick with Gomer! First I do not smoke, but my co workers who do, take ALOT more breaks, and it does peeve me off when they are on their upteen smoke break, and its one of their patients that need something, who do you think has to ta...

I am at ASU, but for the RN-ASN program!

I have been on: Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, and now Lexapro. It is the best of all. It really tackles my depression. I love it! As far as side effects, I don't remember. I just know the only time I get depressed is when I forget my pill for 2 or 3 da...

is this tgibson for REAL? If eating better and healthy was all there was to losing weight, then I guess we would not have anyone obese in the world! My eating unhealthy is just a SYMPTON to what is going on with me! I mean, do you not watch Oprah...

First, Bedpan, your Doddlebug was and is beautiful! Second, I personally don't think you will ever get over it, BUT, the pain will eventually not be the first thing you think of when you get up in the morning! TIME does help us with dealing with deva...

So far, I am the only one in NE Arkansas. LPN waiting for my temporary. Will be going for my RN ASN starting next Monday, 25th. Having been working partime as a PCT since Oct. I love geriatric patients!

Recent LPN graduate awaiting my temporary. Will be a float in a hospital. Also, will work altern. weekends at NH. Will be going to RN-ASN. school next Monday.

I just graduated LPN school. My number 1 hurdle: Me and lack of confidence. #2 - Instructors Yes I almost quit. But because of the encouragment from fellow students, I didn't. I had a pretty good support system from family. Don't ever quit. If...

At the moment I am still a tech. I work the 11-7 shift. I find it totally unprofessional to sleep on the job. The only ones I have ever seen do this were other techs. But I blame the charge nurses for this. When my tech helper goes to nap, who d...

Arkansas here! And it's HOT here!

I walk fast also!

First of all, there is Nothing wrong with being emotional. Please don't ever get so numb that you don't feel. Second, for me personally, when I see someone who has NO quality of life, or has so much sadness in their eyes, I don't feel so sad anymor...

I graduated H.S. back in 1977. I always thought I was a real dummy in math and science. And guess what? I wasn't near as dumb as I thought I was! For me the science was just memorization, and the math, well, I let pharm freak me out at first, but...

:chuckle (funny, but lets be careful about those Arkansas jokes)
