Wow, i know exactly how you feel. I was scared of puking at the first sniff of smelly poo. Now, it is no big deal. I just try to get my nose as close to my armpit as possible. I am entering my last semester of an LPN program this fall. You will be t...

If I offended anyone by saying that my grandma reffered to caring for people as nursing and that was years ago. What I was trying to say is that i have heard of the term being used loosely. I forgot to add that I distinctly remember seeing everyone i...

I am a student and would be really PO'd if some one who wasn't licensed claimed to be a nurse. I would be even more PO'd if i were the patient. However, i would say that the general population does not know the difference among PCA, NA, LPN, RN, HUC-...

Business school then Flight Attendant then receptionist now nursing school (LPN) Start as a Nursing asst in 2 weeks!!

This will be mostly a refresher. Although the bagging will be new...although I wouldn't say it is all that HARD. I am sure when you are doing it in real life it can be stressful. I took a class at the local hospital and we were done in like 7-8 hours...

And prayers. She must be terrified. I pray she receives comfort and the baby is okay.

You are amazing! Never lose sight of yoru goal, and keep on keepin' on!! You can do it!I hope your treatments go well and are successful. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I think the breast reduction made them look skinnier. One had always had a relatively flat stomach, you just couldn't see it before. The other one is the shape of a potato anyway-so it just makes her look marginally skinnier. I would think that most ...

I know 2 people that have had breast reductions and both absolutely love their new boobs. One used to have her bras specially made so that she could tolerate them for an 8 hour work day. She just loves her new look-and being able to shop at a regular...

My SIL is a transcriptionist. She was making $14 an hr a year or 2 ago. But she has been doing it for at least 5 years. I don't know how easy it is to find openings. I think it only took her 1 or 2 semesters at a tech college.

Last week I went and picked up the only used book the school had for one of my classes. I have my A&P book at work with me everyday (although i haven't opened it as much as I should). I have a wedding the first weekend in Aug-after that I can foc...

You pick up your chin and keep on going with what you want to do! If you like the residents and you like the work, don't let anyone stand in your way. You sound like just the kind of person those residents needed. And i think your boyfriend was right...

I went to high school with a girl who got prego when she was 16 and her boyfriend was 15 (he was 16 when they had the baby). I believe she had to go to court and they ordered that she had to go to some sort of class-kind of like AA-I can't remember w...

Have any of you taken out more $$ from your student loans than what you need strictly to pay tuition? I have heard some people have taken more than they need to pay off some debt...seems like a good idea to me. Hey, you can't beat the intrest rate!

For all your replies and the head's up on the max out amount. I did some ball park figures and i should be okay to take the extra they are giving me this year and still be okay to continue on to and ADN-and bridge BSN later. It is really sad (but kin...

contact your fin. aid office. I am almost sure that you can take out subsidized (sp?) or unsub. as much as you need (up to $6625 a year) even if you get grants. I would just let them know you need the $$ for living expenses. Yeah, that rent/mortgage ...

What about screen printing "NURSE" on accross the back of the scrubs top and on teh front corner...LPN, RN, MSN-whatever. Or better yet....NURSE on the butt of scub bottoms!!! Yeah, that will get people's attention!

Girl, get those NIKE's on and like the wind!! You don't need to- and shouldn't take that. I would get a different job and call the state as soon and I step foot out of there! Not to mention I would let those other CNA's have it with both barrels! If ...

Isn't EVERYTHING about $$ these days? Well, Federal licenses would surely put an end to revoked licencees going to the neighboring state to practice. Since we are tested on a federal level, wouldn't it make sense to have Federal licensure, and from t...

is how everyone would ask "will that be on the test?" My thought was-what difference does it make-you have to know it anyway. If I were an instructor that would be my answer. However, my instructor was pretty patient. She would let us know which char...

I attend a Tech College and I am currently enrolled in 1st semester classes of their LPN program. I was shocked at how poorly people did in my A&P class. I think it comes down to dedication and preparation. You must really take the time to study...

Okay, can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Sometimes things don't end up the way you ecpec them to. Sometimes people don't give you the answer you are looking for. That doesn't give you the right to get mad at them. Boy, you have a lot to lea...

Sears also has some nice 2 piece suits that are affordable. But, certainly the cheapest (and probably easiest) way is to go to Wal-mart or target and get slacks or khaki's and a nice sweater knit or dress shirt. Keep it really simple and classic...so...

I didn't mean to attack you like a pitbull or anything. Repeat after me "Everythign on TV is not reality". Here is an idea...ask her where she wants to work. You or your fiancee call that hospital and talk to the HR dept. See if they would be willing...

I'd buy a HUGE mu-mu and wear that with a nice pair of ugly, garage sale, outdated flats....Hey, It's a dress, right?? Or they'd be sick of seeing me in the same khaki's and T-shirt EVERY DAY!! Give me a break...obviously some one who has never even ...
