My first profession is as a licensed cosmetologist, usually if someone had rusty water and they were showering in it the hair that is directly hit with the shower water will turn orange-y reddish colored. I don't personally know without looking up t...

We had to have a 3.0 (B) to even be considered. A 1.0 (D) not going to get her/him in the nursing program.

I have never heard of a site like that. Wow. People have WAY too much free time.

My 3 year old was just diagnosed with precocious puberty. At age 3yr 2mo her bone age, according to hand/wrist x-ray, is that of a 5.5 yr old. I have to disagree with "letting mother nature take her course". If I choose not to treat her, she will ...

I actually went to Maine and a few other places, and they thought I had an accent (I'm from Michigan)! I had a difficult time understanding many people there!

Yes, that is just as annoying! "I have an i-deer, go and warsh yer hands!" LOL!

It annoys me when people say, "I have an ideal" rather than, "I have an idea"~

OMG, just sayin!

I can not fathom the loss of a child. I would, without hesitation, lay down and die for my kids this very instant. I have lost patients and it was very sad. I lost my dad suddenly and got the phone call while I was a chaperone for my then kinderga...

Follow your heart and you can't go wrong~

If you are going into nursing just for the money, since both of your posts stress the point that you wonder if you should pursue a career as a LVN and you state that the going rate in that area is $14.00, maybe you should re-think your decision and g...

Wow! I was a CNA before becoming a nurse as well and it never crossed my mind to tell anyone that "it's not my job" to do anything that I was delegated to do. I have sometimes wished though that I could do the CNA work because it was so much more ha...

All I can say to this is holy cow! That thought never even crossed my mind until I read your story! I wouldn't have gone back either, that is for damn sure! I don't care what the pay was, no amount of money can bring back your life!!!

Thank you so very much for your honesty and integrity! All too often we forget what's important and get frustrated too easily. You told your story beautifully! I felt like I was there with you the whole time! My eyes teared up when you told of going...

In addition to my previous response, I have another point to make. If in a clinical situation you gave the wrong medication or gave a medication to the wrong patient because your instructor erroneously told you to do so, you would be held liable for...

Of course the student should fail if they missed the question whether or not the instructor keyed in the wrong answer. If a student is barely passing and that one point made the difference if they passed or failed in the program it is their own fau...

I think that if you feel like you hate the ER why don't you just find something else that you would maybe enjoy. Something slower paced, maybe not in a hospital and instead in the home care field or maybe corrections nursing. There are a lot of di...

I suppose somehow on here it is inappropriate to ask who you or your family is/are, lol! Adrian isn't a bad place to live, kind of middle of the road type of town.

Nope, she took them all and I had to wait another month before I could get them refilled. I am certain that I could have called the pharmacy back and the Dr and got a new Rx but I didn't want to deal with the hassle and I am sure the police would ha...

I personally never even considered the thought of being a nurse. I can recall being 4 years old and someone asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up and my response was a hair stylist. I cruised through beauty school and was a cosmetologist for...

Yeah, illegal is more the word that I was thinking! She was a friend of mine and she knew that I took that prescription. She just by chance called the pharmacy and I was due for a refill so she took it upon herself to get it. She also was one who g...

I tried a position like yours before and it literally made me sick to the point that I had to quit because I couldn't take it anymore. I am a bipolar person and major changes like that are absolutely miserable for me. I have to stick to a routine a...

"Sure, there's a theoretical chance that someone who knew what meds you're picking up could intercept them ... but how likely is it? Why would anyone want your meds." Someone who is a pill abuser would like pain medications that are prescribed for y...

Funny thing is that they don't care who picks up prescriptions for other people either. I had a "friend" of mine call in and request a refill of one medication that I take for stress headaches, Esgic plus. She proceeded to pick it up as well saying...

I was offered an interview for a prison here in Michigan and the pay for LPN was $24 hr mon-fri and $25 on weekends.
