I am going through school with a friend, (we are taking our pre-req's together), and I happened to mention that I was interested in working in a Physicians office. To which she said, " I don't really consider that nursing". I was slightly taken aba...

I have to tell you...this stuff scares the sh** out of me. After spending years at home being a mom and not being in the work force, it amazes me just how much I don't know. Is this problem unique to nursing, or other professions as well? It feels...

I am in the middle of Bio 202, anatomy/physiology class. It's my last, (thank the Lord), bio class I have to take and i hate every minute of it. I really think I am becoming burned out on school altogether and I'm finding it really hard to rememb...

Thanks for your reply. I know what you mean. My instructor WILL NOT round up on grades, either, and I have an 89.3 for my grade so far. Even being that close to an A, he won't round up. He's this geriatric hippy type and all ego. I can't wait fo...

He was blessed to have a loving person like you there with him at the end of his life.

OMG!!!! :imbar

Thanks, Darla for writing. I don't know what his levels were before, or weather or not the doc checked. He is an occasional drinker, nothing heavy. I'm sure he's not drinking at all now, anyway.

I have a question about Lipitor and it's effects on the liver. A friend of mine took Lipitor for 30 days for high cholesterol levels (285). After 30 days his cholesterol levels went down to 170, but his liver enzyme levels were elevated, so the doc...

I need some advice. I am still trying to decide which to go into..nursing or radiology. My friends all want me to be with them in nursing school and I was even told by a school councelor that I should be a nurse instead of a rad tech because the f...

I have been very sick with bronchitis for over 4 weeks now, and my lungs have reacted badly with it. I have started fainting after coughing spells. someone called it reactive airway disease, although I don't have asthma. I am on all kinds of drugs...

Thanks all for your replies! I'm still thinking.

Hi, I'm sorry you're so down, and I truly hope things improve for you soon. I had this thought. If you are interested in the law at all, you can become a paralegal and use your nursing expertise to work for a personal injury attorney. I hear that...

WOW! God Bless ya, Lucianne! Keep up the incredible work

Thanks so much for the reply! I feel better now.

Ok, so what is your opinion as to where a person should get experience before working in an office? Or do you think it would be a good idea to just go work there after graduation? I don't want to get caught up in a situation where there is tremendou...

I'm so glad you're a nurse. You'll never know what it meant to that gentleman to have you there with him, caring for him. A nurse was with my mom and me when mom was dying, back in January. She hugged me, kept me informed, and when my mom was read...

I do plan to work for a while in a hospital for the valuable experience and knowledge. Thanks, all, for the advice!

Oh Heather, I can definately relate! I'm 43, doing my pre-req's too, (I have 2 classes left to take after this semester) and was thinking how hard it is to leave my 8 year old daughter with her grandma to go to class in the evening. In the long run,...

I am considering becoming a nurse but I have two very bad feet, it's painful to stand for long periods of time due to plantar fascitis. Is there an area or specialty of nursing where it is possible to sit? Help!
