My daughter, who is 27 yoa, has started the electricians classes and works full time as an apprentice. She earns 26.00 an hour and that includes full benefits. At the end of 3 years she will bring home 38.00 and hour and that's take home!! If you add...

Jeeezzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!! Good Luck!

:angryfire I spent alot of cash putting my daughter through nursing school. 4 months after graduation she has decided nursing is not for her. (keep in mind-that I am not finished with nursing school) She has applied, and been accepted to a local elec...

It's easy. Tell them both you can't lend them the tapes because you need to study them. If you tell them twice in a row. They'll get the idea. Nothing can take the place of being in the class and participating. They'll never make it.

I see no reason for her to "hold" your grant. In my school you must maitain a C average. If you weren't entitled to that grant you wouldn't get it. Pell grants are awarded twice a year. If your in school and carry enough credits and maintain a C aver...

I can not imagine an A&P class without a teacher. That is the most amazing thing that I have read on this site to date. I thought I'd heard it all and then along comes this post. You have my sincerest sympathies. What school are you enrolled in? ...

I'm a middle aged nursing student with plenty of my own opinions. But I am still idealistic enough to believe that as a nurse I will always put my own beliefs on the back burner when it comes to caring for pts no matter what. A woman's right to choos...

I agree with Jim all the way. If you knew it to be true, you would have an ethical and legal obligation to say something for the sake of your pts. If you didn't that would put your license in jeopardy. But to say something you don't know to be true i...

I'm with Brickman

look in the yellow pages for a pro to do your resume for you. it's not that expensive and they have alot of experience. when your your age and fresh out of school your resume is going to be short---------but sweet. Good luck.

dronabinol(delta-g-tetahydrocannabino) from pot. works great for chemotherapy sickness.

Oh Great Blond One! That was great advice. The pepperment oil I mean. And I will remember it. I gotta share this tidbit tho it has nothing to do with butts or nuts. My mom suffers from terrible leg cramps at night. They wake her right up. An old fri...

Most of nursing students I know (myself included) feel it's a vocation. Like being a nun or or a pre-school teacher. It's a calling. It's something I HAVE to do. It's something you dream about since childhood. I was afraid to open the letter in case ...

I have 5. 3 of them on my back is an ongoing work in progress. parts of Pink Floyd album covers.1 Thumper from Bambie and 1 I can't discuss. No one can see them except my husband. I don't think you should be able to see them at work either. My famil...

A girl friend of mine in Duluth, Applied for a position as a flight nurse at her hospital after a posting. She had 8 yrs in the PICU. The only time they ever called on her was to transport a peds pt to a specialty hospital.She transfered to the ER an...

Hi PICUKID. I had a son who spent the last 12 years of his life in a PICU. I ended up in nursing school for the same reasons- Although I have NO desire to end up in the PICU. My kid suffered from reoccuring brain tumors and he had no problems with ma...

Ok. You guys are killing me. As a nursing student, I think I need to ask the question. What are the guidlines for asking advice here? If I can't ask this group of educated, experienced and proffessional people a question on a case who can I ask? If I...

This is the best advice I have ever read in my entire life. Thank you so much. You have no idea what you have just done for me. And I was just lurking!!

1.A If you think a fellow nurse is drunk and do nothing about it you are just as responsible. The hospital always gets sued along with anybody else remotely connected. 2.B It is the pts information after all. Iwent through this when my kid was dx'd...

A&P was a bear at the beginning. Then, my mom who worked for a high school for 30 years told me to ask the instructor for a study guide. The entire class was all for this. It turns out I wasn't the only one feeling overwhelmed. With all the info ...

Where do you get the special training? On the poor patient?

I'm 50! And am starting in the fall. ADN. That was the first program to call and I jumped at it.

Hey! RN 2 B, Where are you from up north? I just moved down after 11 years in Hayward.

My brother in law is in town job hunting. He paints cars. Also has trouble with interviews. After 3 interviews that he felt went badly- I asked him to be upfront about the jitters to the next interviewer. He did just that. The man went out of his way...

I'm with you Krojas21. I met a great BSN when I did a clinical rotation at a big city hospital. She said she felt she had a duty to teach to the best of her ability. It didn't matter if it was a family member, a patient, or a low on the totem pole st...
