    Anyone here suffering from anxiety? I just started my first year LPN school, and it's increased my anxiety 10 fold! Dr. gave my Ciprilex......is it any good? I was taking clonazepam before bed but...

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Ya, I know what to do........I've been suffering from anxiety for 10 years now though and it's really hard to put aside the stubborn attitude that comes along with it ( ie: refusing to take the meds...

  11. And to think I wanted to take the BSN program!!

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    Where are you going to college at? Everyone's schedule is going to be different everywhere you go. I'd show you my schedule but don't have it on the computer. Gotta love the way they cram things in

  12. Rn Degree online? Or PSW bridging program?

    2bornot2b replied to Juliets1's topic in International Nursing

    Where are you from? Athabasca does LPN- BSN online as long as you have the prerequisites and 1700 hours work

  14. Is there such thing as a dumb airhead nurse?

    2bornot2b replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    Maybe not so much that they are "airheads" but clumsy or forgetful would be the better term for those they are deeming to be airheads. Some people are just so cruel and rude is the only thing that...

  15. Difference between PN and RN.......

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    Ok, I have asked the difference between LPN and RN, now.......if you go all the way up the ladder to an NP, couldn't you pretty much be considered a Dr., minus the PhD?! I think that the whole PhD...

  16. And to think I wanted to take the BSN program!!

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    I forgot to add kudos to those who took or are taking the BSN program, because I'm glad I'm taking this route

  17. Moving to another province and different licensures

    2bornot2b posted a topic in International Nursing

    Once I am done taking the PN course here in Alberta, my bf and I plan to make a move to BC. How hard will it be to make the switch and what will it

  18. Moving to another province and different licensures

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    I also noticed when searching through the Interior Health job boards that there wasn't as much job opportunity for PN's as RN's. It may be awhile anyways before I get out

  19. Moving to another province and different licensures

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks......I did hear from someone on my other thread that Albertan nurses get far better training than anywhere else......wonder why that is? So, I could go and apply for the BC exam before I am...

  20. Any others trying to quit smoking?

    2bornot2b replied to AddyRN07's topic in Health, Stress Management

  21. Difference between PN and RN.......

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    I guess I never thought of all the other responsibilities the LPN had on top of what I seen her do, mind you I wasn't job shadowing with the LPN it was with the HCA's and hearing their side of the...

  22. Difference between PN and RN.......

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing

    I didn't mean for it to sound as if PN's made no care decisions, I guess (just more from hearsay) that PN's don't make decisions, that they strictly follow what they are told to do by the RN or...

  25. Difference between PN and RN.......

    2bornot2b replied to 2bornot2b's topic in International Nursing
