Just Angi

I think I will put my resume out there and hopefully I will feel confident enough to make the change, I believe LTC just burns you out after too long. Thanks for your responses! Angi

How many of you went from LTC to the hospital and was the transition bad? I have worked LTC for 5 years and would like to go to the hospital, but to be honest it scares me. I did go to the hospital and worked the med-surg unit for 3 months, but could...

Sorry this happened to you. Patients fall with staff present and not present every minute. Don't take it personally, but learn from it how you could handle the next situation better. Good luck to you!

Thanks. I really do want the ER position, I'm just nervous about changing areas of practice I guess. I'm not sure really what I will do. If they offer both jobs, I'll probably take the ER position and just hold on tight! I really am burned out on rep...

Hello to all. I have not been on too much for the last 9 months. But, THANK GOODNESS TO BE BACK!!!! I have missed this site very much. I went back to school and will graduate from the ADN program in 2 weeks- thank goodness for that as well. Now here...

Because here I only have to be me. I'm just Angi and nothing else. :)

I got a new coffee pot! The great Hamilton Beach Brewing Station. It's the one the coffee stays up and you put your cup under to dispense. I been wanting one since the day they came out! I also got the joy of sleeping in. My kids actually watched TV...

We were informed today that when we finish school the format for the nclex will be fill in the blank---WTF????? I am so upset. The instructor said it would be a computerized fill in the blank and that spelling would count b/c of using the computer!...

I will graduate in July from the LPN classes and next June from the ADN program. Thanks everyone! I understood that it would all be that way, so I guess I just blew a gasket over nothing. I would never quit, but this is only my 2nd sem. and I am so ...

I'm 30- just started the program. I was 28 when I started the pre-req's. I will be 31 when able to take the LPN licensure exam and 32 for the RN. But, atleast I went back and did it!

When I reach that point in life- I think I will have DNR tatooed on my forehead. That way no one will misunderstand. So many times by the time people reach LTC the family is making that decision. I suggest that if you don't come to see your relative ...

That was just what I needed this morning. Thank You so much for sharing it. Angi

All I can say is I thank God every day that A&P I & II are both behind me. I kept a headache and nervous stomach for two straight semesters. Especially at mid-term and finals! Now, it's time for the nursing classes and I will be experiencing ...

Just to let everyone know- I made my daughter a Dr. appt.-- The dang thing is GONE! I called and canceled the appt. Dr. said it must have been a skin reaction.---Duh!!--- I guess so. :) Anyway-Thanks all!

My daughter returned home from camp with a small rash on her stomach & back. Both spots are about the size of a half-dollar, but she says that neither of the spots itch. She hasn't had any symptoms from them, but they won't go away. Any suggestio...

I am trying to stop smoking, but Zyban didn't help. My doctor recommended Wellbutrin for 3 months. Supposed to make the cigs taste bad so you can quit b/w 4-6 weeks. Has anyone else done this Or heard of someone who had success with it? Thanks in a...

Well, I still have not stopped. I have slowed down a lot. Hopefully I will be able to stop when my quit date comes up in a week. Thanks everyone. Angi

I start Aug.18 and I'm terrified and excited. I just can't wait! I've already got my Exedrin and Tums so I'm ready to go. Good Luck everyone. I suggest these two purchases for everyone. :) Have a great semester! Angi

I've gained so much weight within the last year that 5 pounds won't hurt! It would be worth it to get this habit done and over with!

I have only been on it for a month- I do smoke less, just haven't stopped. Hopefully it won't be too long. I really appreciate all of the helpful comments. One of these plans is bound to work. :) Thanks again everyone!

Congrats!!!! I am soo happy for you. With your boys being excited about the decision should make things very smooth for all of you. :)

Our oldest is 110. Her name is Sunie and she never married or had children. She still gets up everyday, but has lost the ability to speak anything coherent, she just smiles and kind of giggles all day long. She does help stand and walk to get to her ...

Thanks Luci. That is something to look into.

It hasn't spread any, that's the part that has me so confused.

Thanks everyone. Passing Thru- I believe your way just might work. I've been on it for almost a month, so hopefully the bad taste will start kicking in. I have noticed that I don't smoke as much. That something atleast.
