Hi, I'm taking topamax for migraine prevention which does pretty well for me. I can get by with 100 mg a day which is good because any higher dosage makes me dumber than a box of rocks. I have experienced some very slight cognitive/memory impairment...

Sorry, not exactly a ghost story but a death story. I had seen death before in hospitals and nursing homes but somehow I just didn't really seem to grasp in spiritual terms what it all seemed to mean. I was bothered by the fact that this great myst...

Daisy Bless you for being concerned about a fellow student. I believe there should be some student rights as it is way too easy in some cases for nursing instructors to fail students on a whim, with no credible basis. What would "quicker" be? :uhoh...

It is a well known fact that these monsters cannot be rehabed. I am with the rest of you. Every time I hear about these horrible events involving children I want to take the perpetrator and the judge who let him walk free (from previous incidents) ...

Timewood I admire your moxie and hope you will get some vindication. No doubt you'll be a great nurse and leader. Best of luck.

Yes, I believe all creatures have souls.

I would confront her too. As soon as she started a screaming fit, my hand would be up and I'd tell her to "Stop". Tell her you are there to learn, not to be humiliated. Have a witness and write the matter up and give it to her bosses. Don't let h...

Alisha I am just insensed by this as well :angryfire . Fuzzy has it right - don't let them get away with this. You have come so far. Don't let these cretins keep you from your dream. We are in your corner!

I'm having (have had) the same problem. I took an online refresher course a few years ago, however, when it came to the hands-on skill portion of it I was unprepared for having hospitals turn me down flat for any preceptorship in updating skills. I ...

Sorry to hear about the vertigo problem. I had a case of it in November and it was very scarry. Could not walk, nor shake it for 36 hours. Antivert did not help. Some minor incidences since then. I was very careful not to move eyes/head too fast...

Thank you mj, I appreciate and respect you posting your experience here so we can learn from it.

Thanks Renarian I live 1 hour south of St Clairsville (west of Wheeling). I'm an lpn, semi retired. I would love to meet up with all of you.

To all you migraine sufferers, I can really empathize. I've onlly had them for about ten years but when I get them, my life gets put on hold. I had to quit nursing school after the first quarter because I could not get them under control. They wer...

Well said imusbecrazy. Right on the mark.

Theme song from the "Twilight Zone". :chuckle

Very strange to think that students will actually learn something when their fight or flight mechanism is engaged all the time. I've never seen anything like it before in all my years. Sort of reminds me of hazing incidents you hear about for col...

I'm 53 and attending an ADN program. I love the younger students and the experience of doing what I've always wanted to do. Go for it! :)

I totally agree, Lifeisbeautiful.

Hugs to all of you who have suffered and continue to suffer. I understand the pain myself. Your stories and helpful advice were especially timely today. I just sort of let things go this morning and have spent the day just being a human being inst...

Scarlette, I don't know either but would be very interested to know why. I am so very sorry for your loss

Well said Soleilpie. When I went thru LPN school the instructors were awesome role models. They were professionals thru and thru and held us to high standards but without the abuse and ridicule you hear so much of. It was simply not professional t...

This is a very sad, familiar story. We have them at our school as well and one in particular is infamous and thoroughly enjoys being the bully. I think its probably just natural that toxic people like this make you ill. Most of us just don't opera...

Thanks for the breath of fresh air.
