yes, i was an lpn and went back to school to become an rn it wasn't easy, but you can do it. i feel this way anything you learn is educational and no one can take that away from you. i have been in health care for 27 years and still love it. i can ...

i work in a juvenile facility. we have adolescent males ages 14-21. they are serious offenders. have been here seven years and love it. you could compare me to a school nurse.

i would like to do some volunteer work and i hope to have grandchildren so i can spoil them. :)

I use to get cheap one subject notebooks and re write my notes. I think the information stuck in my head even though I didn't realize it. I agree with the other writers, give up tv and get into the subject. Good Luck :)

Dear Anniekins, CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING AN RN. Wasn't it great the first time you signed your full name with RN behind it. I can still remember how great it felt. :balloons: :)

I am here to give words of encouragement to all the moms who are going back to school. I did this also. I started in June 1992 and graduated in May 1995. I went to school year round and obtained my RN. I had previously been an LPN and had taken a...

The management at my building didn't do anything. My boss sent us (there are two nurses in this office) a card. That's it.

I, also, do not feel the united states has a nursing shortage. If hospitals and other health care facilities would up the pay, benefits and staffing, there would be nurses coming out of everywhere. No I do not believe they should recruit from other ...

yes, I think as you learn and become more confident you are able to talk to people. I don't feel you have to be the most outgoing person in order to be a nurse. there is alot to be said about quiet types. good luck

I was in labor with my first child at home and didn'nt know it was labor. It started out as bad period cramps. But they come and go . I went to the hospital at 6:30 pm and delivered a 10lb 2oz 22inch baby boy at 8:30 pm. When I got to the hospita...

When I was a nursing student I was working on a med surg floor when a code was called. All the students/staff we in the room with the patient. I saw an older lady standing by herself near the door. I went to talk to her and she told me the patient...

I get migraines but thank god usually only my vision is obscured for about twenty minutes if I go lay down in a dark quiet room. But I will comment on the subject of pain. I went to the ER several years ago. I had severe pain in my back, right side....

I was an EMT and a Paramedic at the same time I was an LPN. I went through EMT training after I was an LPN. They get extensive training on what to do in an emergency. THe extended care they know little about. When you are an EMT it is all about...

I went back to school when I was 32 years old. This was in 1992. My kids were 5 and 9 years old. I went year round for three straight years, I also worked a full time job. During this time my husband was working off and on. My sister was a big help...

I have a question for the board. Is this any different than the woman who takes fertility drugs and becomes pregnant and has six embroys and the doctors tell her that if she gets rid of a couple the others will have a better chance. Is this murder?

Years ago I worked in a small rural hospital. One of my coworkers was transferring to another department. After the work was done(I worked 3-11) we decided to order pizza. I called it in. When it arrived the switchboard operator announced over the ...

check the foley to see if it is kinked. Wake her up and check lung sounds, check for edema, check her intake/output sheet to see what she had in, then go from there

Best: Being able to teach someone about their disease and helping them with whatever they need to know. To help someone and have them or someone in their family make a special effort to come and thank you. Worst: Being away from your family on hol...

I just read the info and I am now wondering if you are pregnant also. Whatever the results....good luck

I love being a nurse! I started out as an LPN in 1978. Became an RN in 1995. I have worked in many areas. Presently am working in a state juvenile facility. We have serious offenders age 14-20. I love it, have been here for almost six years. I can't...

dear obgrn What do you mean by the union disempowering you? As far as being blue collar I think most nurses are blue collar workers ie working with the patient. I think the white collar would be management. I have worked both non union and union. ...
