  2. Vent: Bored of Cubicle Life (Long)

    Dottie78 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all. When my daughter was born (4 yrs. ago), that's when I decided that I wanted to go into nursing. The nurse who took care of me when I was in labor was great, and she was the one who inspired me...

  3. Vent: Bored of Cubicle Life (Long)

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the replies and advice. I will continue to patiently wait until I can attend nursing school and will not give up. As far as loans go, taking out a private loan is tempting, but I won't be...

    Dottie78 replied to elizabeth8503RN's topic in General Nursing

    Elizabeth, I'm so sorry to hear about your granny. Here's a hug. :icon_hug: She will be fine, and I'm sure the hospice nurses will take good care in making sure she is comfortable. God

    Dottie78 replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my gosh...here is a hug! :icon_hug: You are only 21 years old, not married and no kids...you have a long life ahead of you. Gosh, I'd give anything to be 21 and and go to school before having my...

  6. I can't believe she said that

    Dottie78 replied to litebrightgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That is just plain ignorance right there. Either that, or that girl feels she has to put down others in order to feel better about herself. I really hope someone puts her in her place REAL soon! I...

  7. Baptist Tuition Fees?

    Dottie78 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm looking into which LVN program to attend in San Antonio. They all sound good, except I was advised to chose the program with the least tuition cost. Galen College of Nursing's tuition sure is...

  8. St. Philips College in San Antonio

    Dottie78 replied to anya16's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Anya16, I too posted a thread just now inquiring about St. Phillips LVN program. I thought I heard a while back that the graduates weren't scoring well on the NCLEX, but not sure how true that is....

  10. Thinking About Surgical Technologist

    Dottie78 posted a topic in General Nursing

    After completing pre-reqs for R.N., I was disappointed to find out (due to financial reasons) that more-than-likely I will not be able to quit my full-time job to attend 2 years of school. I'm...

  11. Thinking About Surgical Technologist

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you guys for all the advice! Gosh, even at this point I'm still not sure. To me, surgical tech sounded so appealing, just as appealing as nursing. It sounds like something more for me, but at...

  13. birth control and pap HELP SCARED

    Dottie78 replied to 4x4country's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel scared or worried you'll be judged. Your doctor has seen hundreds of patients, and is well-experienced. I know the first time is always scary, but it's not bad at all, and doesn't take...

  14. LVN to RN

    Dottie78 replied to scubagoddess's topic in General Nursing

    You can try doing an ADN or diploma LVN to RN program. They do not require you to take all those other courses, like History, Economics, etc., but they do require that you take A&P and...

  15. Bizzare

    Dottie78 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's crazy! These stories remind me of the Maury Povich show. I saw one show in particular where the girl had a total of SIX guys on the show (6 different episodes over a period of time), each...

    Dottie78 replied to anna19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dottie78 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh man, I've cracked up reading some of these stories on here, but there are some that are so sad too. I'm pre-nursing right now, but even after reading these, I still want to become a nurse. Can't...

  18. How do you "turn it off" after work?

    Dottie78 replied to Snugglibumkins's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, it's not just you, I also don't agree with any of the things these parents did with their new baby. I'm not even a nursing student yet, but reading your post made me pretty nervous too! In...

  19. What is with me?? Do I give up?

    Dottie78 replied to EeyoreAddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dottie78 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 9-yr-old son and 3-yr-old daughter, and my daughter has said she would like to be a doctor so she can "take care of the babies". She says this whenever we go to the pediatrician's office. I...

  24. Am I CRAZY to stay in school?

    Dottie78 replied to chnc1024's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree with, and feel the exact same way with what Triple A said. Do this for YOU, because you have a goal you want to accomplish. Also, you never know what can happen later. Don't let...
