Does anyone here work for the INOVA Health system? INOVA Fairfax hospital in particular... I am starting to volunteer there and I am looking at going to school (for ADN) at NVCC. Does INOVA offer tution reimbursement if you work for them after gradua...

Hi all, Does anyone know of any good nursing schools/programs in VA? Right now I'm in Fairfax and I'm thinking that if I am going to go to school full time I will definately have to move to a low cost area because I live all by myself and am far fro...

The Lord spoke to Noah and said, "In six months I am going to make it rain until the whole world is covered with water and all the evil things are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people and ...

Remember... My Attitude is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. You can feel any way you want about anything you want. (Been a nurse for 20 long years - you can decide to feel beaten down by the sands of time or as caring and sympathetic...

That is a sad sad reality. I'm sorry to hear that and I certainly wouldn't want to work for a place like that.

Well, I went out and got a book of practice tests so I will know what to expect on the nursing entrance exam when I apply to school. I'm planning on going to a local community college. Since I had to take a standard english and math test at the schoo...

Find a school, talk to the counselor... apply, take entrance exams, apply for financial aid, set your scedule, go to class, graduate, get a job. Easy enough right :-)

How about the nursing shortage and the shortage of nursing schools/programs... it seems like every nursing school in the country has a waiting list about a half mile long. many who would like to become nurses must wait for year(s) before getting into...

If you value this person freindship/recoginition that much you should approach them a let them know how you feel. If it is not worth the effort then don't sweat it... as far as not helping her again? Why not? Just don't expect anything, but you can s...

perhaps dry skin, caused by lack of moisture in the air? Not a professional opinion but it usually happens to me during the winter when I am indoors with the furnace on all day.

A loan like that is like buying a house... You could be paying over $1000 a month for the next 30 years. That means you can't afford to pay that much for your house, your car, your clothes, your kids when you have them, your kids education.... I woul...

LEAGALIZE IT! I think they should make tobacco illegal and make pot legal in its place. Smoked my share back in the day and still would if I wouldn't lose my job over it. Are there any other natural (as in grows naturally from the earth without human...

I think it's fine as long as there's an older woman involved... Just kidding :chuckle I think that the relationship should be put on hold until the classes are over.

I have the same problem... ever since high school I have had to be out the door at 7am but 5 years later I still wake up at 5 till or 5 after 7. I figure it's just not going to change. I'm definately a night owl too :-) One thing I do is just act lik...

I got accepted to volunteer at my local hospital and they have a program that will basically let me shadow the nurse as well as make beds and take pulse, BP, and stuff like that. I will volunteer 4 hours a day one day a week for 6 months and get a lo...

I think a better alternative to the Atkin's Diet is a proper balance of macronutrients according to a caloric intake need. Basically don't eat more calories than your body needs. (same as giving your car more gas than it needs... the engine will even...

Here's another one for the pile. http://www.helplinedatabase.com/hospital-us/ I thought this was cool and I thought of this site when I saw what it has to offer.

Hi all, I just recently started to practice and learn about meditation. I have found that there are, supposedly, many links between the mind,spirit, and the body that can have health consequences (makes sense to me). I am wondering if anyone here pra...

I'll be a nurse someday. I just got a volunteering position at my local hospital and I'm really psyched. I've also been learning about meditation and YOGA which click really well with healthcare. I feel like I'm destined to be a medicine man :-) Cool...

Hi all, I'm a future nurse. Currently living in VA by DC and grew up in SW PA. Maybe someday I'll get to live in WVA and have some P&Q. :-) Look forward to talkin to ya.

For stress releif - I just recently started to learn about meditating. It's a very easy practice and in the past week I have noticed great results from only 20 minutes a night (I'm calmer, more able to focus, and I am retaining more of what I read be...
