  1. HELP! Husband is depressing me! NEED ADVICE!

    DA314 replied to 2bNurseLove419's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that rushing into a divorce is a good idea. I moved in with my husband when we were both 19 (we got married at 21). Men seem to mature more slowly than women. My husband was very lazy...

  2. BCTC. What are my odds?

    DA314 replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

    I go to BCTC, am currently pre-nursing. My CNA instructor told me the lowest GPA that got into the ADN program last year was like a 3.4. I've also been told that there is usually a pretty long waiting...

  3. Accepted

    DA314 replied to Cls62011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :clpty: Congrats! I'm sure you're

  4. Difficult classmates - how do you deal?

    DA314 replied to JettaDP's topic in General Students

    The best things you and your classmates can do is act like adults. Try not to react to the rudeness of others. You can only control your actions, nobody else's. Try to lead by example. Even if nobody...

  5. Having a melt down

    DA314 replied to klkozicki's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, take a deep breath and let it out slowly Repeat. Now, know that life will always throw things at us. It is how react that proves what kind of person we are. You daughters will be ok, neither...

  6. Should I go for the interview??

    DA314 replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Daisy- from what she said in her post from 2:05 AM today, I understood it to mean that the hourly rate they advertised was wrong, not the getting paid for 36 hours. I'm totallly lost now. Good luck...

  7. Should I go for the interview??

    DA314 replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Do you currently work 24 hours and get paid for 36? If not, then I think the job would be worth it. Making the same hourly rate, but getting paid for 12 hours that you aren't working (and could...

  8. Wear scrubs in a hospital? Then you're a nurse

    DA314 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the 18 months is done during regular school semesters, so I gues if you take out the "breaks" it is closer to 13-14 months. The RN program takes much longer, because you have to complete...

  9. Wear scrubs in a hospital? Then you're a nurse

    DA314 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    I think part of the reason the public associates anyone in scrubs with nursing it that a lot of people in scrubs misrepresent themselves as nurses. Most CNA's I know tell me that they are nurses. I...

  10. Wear scrubs in a hospital? Then you're a nurse

    DA314 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on the area you live in. The LPN programs around here are 18 months

  11. Now or never?

    DA314 replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    Go Now. It's only 15 months, then you'll have reached your goal. If you wait, you will decrease your lifetime earning capacity. That will in turn reduce your ability to buy your children their first...

  12. Ugh!!! "60% of base pay..."

    DA314 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, the calculate it at 60% of base pay because taxes and insurance aren't being taken out, so, supposedly, your checks should be similar to what they'd be if you were working. Of...

  13. A&P Homework Question

    DA314 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already turned in the assignment, so I'm not cheating. Here is the question: "What is the hip landmark for giving anesthesia injections during childbirth?" I could not find the answer to that...

  14. A&P Homework Question

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so

  15. What was/is the length of your CNA program?

    DA314 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I livein KY. My class is one day per week 8-4 (saturdays). The class is 10 weeks. The state requires 75 hours (59 classroom and 16 clinical). It's fairly easy so far. I'm taking it through my...

  16. How time consuming is a community college CNA course

    DA314 replied to KTSNurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently working 45 hours/ week at one job, 5 hrs/week at another, and taking 14 credit hours of classes (mostly online). One of my classes is a CNA class (our CC requires it for admission into...

  17. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    DA314 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I started my CNA class this week (it is required for acceptance into nursing school here). I was telling him about the different things I'll be doing as a CNA and then as a nurse. He became upset when...

  18. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Daisees - yes, he would probably be uncomforabtle with that. Buy my Gyn is a woman. I like that she is a woman, because she understands the concerns I have with my body better than a man

  19. Pain is subjective?

    DA314 replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    I think that sometimes the patients ask for the pain meds on the dot because they are afraid that if they go past that time, the previous dose will wear off, and they really will be in pain. I have...

  20. Anyone else prefer custom made scrubs

    DA314 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Where do you find custom made

  21. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    DA314 replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have children but I would hestitate to recommend this vaccine for anyone. Anything that sounds like a miracle drug usually isn't (phen-phen anyone?) As far as preventing cervical cancer, it...

  22. i need advice. i'm frustrated with how i'm behaving and my attitude

    DA314 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    A few things that might be helpful: You keep saying you misheard or forgot things. Maybe if you write things down in a planner and double check after class with your instructor about what to wear and...

    DA314 replied to runelord00's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Lord I hope this isn't a frequent question! Nurses should know better than to drive

  25. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    DA314 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a small law office, and I'm taking a CNA class right now, and had to get a TB test. The test came back positive. I hada very small reaction, which wouldn't have required any further testing...
