  1. Also Ran Careers... what did you decide against before choosing nursing

    michelle95 replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I should say that originally I was going to be a CPA. My middle 2 years in high school I took accounting classes. I thought I was too stupid to be a nurse but not to be a CPA (yeah, the...

  2. Also Ran Careers... what did you decide against before choosing nursing

    michelle95 replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    Chalk me up as another one with dreams to be a vet. I hope when the kids are grown that I can concentrate on that. I've always wanted to work with animals. I thought about getting a 2 year degree to...

  3. Phi Theta Kappa... is it worth the $55 bucks?

    michelle95 replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of you have me convinced. I don't mind some volunteering but I thought I might have to tutor people (I don't know where I got that idea). I'm not so sure that I could do that. And,...

  4. HELP!! Where are you critical nursing shortage Facilities???

    michelle95 replied to brownsuga1184's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just left Sumter county. If you like small towns, it's ok....but you see that I don't live there anymore. :chuckle And, it seems like that hospital (the only one in the county) has had some...

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks you guys. I think it's going to be a little longer than I thought before I move. I FINALLY got accepted into the LPN-RN program here in P'cola (they've been reconstructing the program and...

  6. Phi Theta Kappa... is it worth the $55 bucks?

    michelle95 replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    I've been asked to join a couple of times. What does it entail and how much time do you have to put into

  7. Accepted my first job...I'm scared!!

    michelle95 replied to tiona's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    SNF is not necessarily the same thing as LTC. Usually in SNF you have more acute patients. They are either recovering from something or are sick. In LTC, most folks are pretty healthy...just can't...

  8. Feeling like I blew it!

    michelle95 replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and training goes out the window as well. Me? If I see blood coming from my child or hubby...I'm out on the floor. But, if it's a patient, that's different. I remember once I had to do the...

  9. $12 an hour?!

    michelle95 replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    :chuckle Yeah, it's pretty sad...that's part of the reason I went to nursing school. I loved being a CNA, but, for the work...the money just didn't cut

    michelle95 replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    RN4NICU, I agree that CNAs shouldn't make what LPNs or RNs do...however, do you think it is fair for them to get paid not much more than minimum wage? Most nursing homes might pay CNAs 50 cent more...

  13. Smoking

    michelle95 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Exactly. I can understand safety issues. No one is refuting that. But, if they are safe then why are we going to take their last pleasure in life? What happens when ALL homes go smoke free? Then...

  15. LPN student needing to vent about family

    michelle95 replied to Nursing N 2004's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know how ya'll feel. I just finished a semester taking 13 credit hours of pre-reqs for my RN. I, also worked 24-36 hours a week. It 'bout killed me, but, I did it. With a 4.0 none the less. Now,...

  17. Smoking

    michelle95 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm sure it infringes on resident's rights and I would certainly be on the phone to the ombudsman with this. If that didn't work...well, there are other places to

  19. Smoking

    michelle95 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You know, I have a problem with this. If they want to tell staff they can't smoke that's one thing...but, residents? Is it really hurting someone when they go OUTSIDE to smoke? This is ridiculous....

  21. Is this understaffing (or is it me?)

    michelle95 replied to Town & Country's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I would think that 50 patients would be ok with one nurse for 11-7 (I've done it myself) but 7p-7a? You have to do 9pm med pass for 50 folks with one nurse? Nope. Not

  22. Where can LPN's work?

    michelle95 replied to NewbieNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    You could also check out pediatric home health. Down south here....Pediatrics Services of America is always hiring. And, I believe that some of it is like private duty where you will be taking care...

  23. Working through the holidays?

    michelle95 replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is that it depends on where you work. If you work in a doc's office, health dept, or school...then you would be off. But, at the places that I have worked (hospital and nursing homes)...

    michelle95 replied to cajun's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with carol. My mom has lived in this house for 14 years, been through 3 major hurricanes in it, and has not had so much as a broken window (thank our lucky stars). My aunt lost her house in...
