You're right, Tweety, I should concentrate on an RN as you suggest. I could be waiting forever for an LPN program and I'm 41. I feel so old right now! Thanks much for the
He vascillates; when he's not trying to talk me out of pursuing a career in nursing he's saying he's not for it, but will support me. He goes so far as to tell me he doesn't think I can do it, which...
I've been thinking of becoming a nurse for a few years now, but I'm not sure I should now. Maybe there's a nursing path I can take that will work for me, or a different career, I don't know. For the...

Thank you, Tweety, that's the kind of insight I needed. I guess I could hire a counselor for the next couple of years and suck it up until I adjust. Maybe I'm selling myself short. I have been dealing...
I'm not even in nursing school yet, but I'm already worried about where to start as a new nurse. I plan to get an LPN in vocational school and then get an RN. Is there a such things as a good...
I'm waiting to get into LPN school and the thing that keeps me up at night is math. It's been 20 years and somehow I escaped having to take algebra in high school. Any suggestions while I
Books like "Math for Meds" - are those helpful too? That makes sense, that motivation would make a difference; I'll be sure to at least 'act' like I'm excited about it while I'm changing my own "math...

Nope, it sure isn't like that on a daily basis....I was just crushed that day....and getting into a school is so difficult in Northern NV I was also very frustrated. I think my hubby was also hoping...

Thank you Trendy, that means a lot in this day in age. I'm currently still working in the corporate jungle, and it's a rotten, back-biting rat-race. I'm looking forward to a profession where there is...

I was quite caught off guard after I posted my initial wah-wah....I had no idea how much of a response it would illicit. I was feeling defeated and very sorry for myself at the time, and it was an...

That's awesome! I have a feeling this will be the same way, once I've proven I'm going to follow through. I am terrified, and I'm afraid I have been pretty much all talk so far because of my lack of...

LOL! Boys and their toys. Buddiage, you reminded me that he did say once that he was a little afraid I'd meet some cute doctor and so on, I'm ten years younger than he is and yes...insecurity plays in...

No, you're right; he is far from a jerk, he's actually a wonderful guy, but when he's brutally honest he doesn't hold back. Though he shouldn't have put the way he did, I guess now I need to take a...

Thank you, you guys, I'm feeling a little more confident already. He says he is my best friend and he's the only one who will be honest with me. He said if I go out and prove him wrong...all the...
See if it's really what you think it is; walk a mile in the shoes of a Surgical Tech. If it lights you up on the inside, follow your heart...the rest will
