try to remember when you are done with school you will not have to deal with her and you'll have a job you love and make good money keep the faith:mad:

If you have never been a cna stay at the ltc job. cna is a physically demanding job and at times you'll be treated as if you are a nothing, you get enough of that in nursing school.That said if you don't mind working like a dog and being treated like...

I'm a LPN,and yes I still work 12 hr shifts 5-6 days a week, by choice . Now I can take dream vacations, thats why I work so,much:nurse::)

I know what ya mean,when I was in ns I worked full time,while in the program and when I got out of school was the 1st time in 3yrs that I got more than 3 hrs sleep. when you finish school you'll have more time to exercise and more money to do it.

your instructors sound like very unhappy people. they need to realize not everyone is in peak performance health. my husband is thin walks alot but if he had to do 3flights a stairs he would be winded and he is only 40yr.not everyone has the same lun...

most homecare agencies have a lot of paperwork, once you learn how to prioritize your time you'll find it much easier. maybe you should try 12hr shifts or nocs it would make things easier for you just a thought;)

I doubt I go back to school, I was diagnoised with lupus sle while in school and the stress of the nursing program was so stress filled that I'm not sure if going back would be worth it. although having more choices job wise would be nice.

thank God for nurses like you. When I was 17 I had a premature birth my baby was 14weeks early. The nurses were great about letting my family and myself hold him after he died. This was very important We didn't get to hold him when he was alive,they ...

I too am not thin I'M a 1x. Trust me not everyone is thin in nursing. as i'm sure you will see in clinicals. Nursing school is hard enough to be sweating the small stuff. My husband who is stick thin says the only one who wants a bone is a dog:lol2: ...

From what I have heard hospitals in the peoria area and bloomington treat lpn's as glorified cna's put still with the legal nursing regulations pay is 11-12 hr. your best bet is ltc or go back to school for your rn sorry. by the way I am a lpn in peo...

some instructors are on a power trip let's face it your success in the nursing program is in their hands. I had fellow students who got all a's but had a instuctor that didn't like them she actually slaped the student in the face luckly a physician s...
