So, in the general nursing section, I read a post from someone whose husband is starting to get a little worried about her choice of specialties once she has graduated (ER). So, considering I am having some problems of my own with hubby adjusting to ...

I am going back to school! I found myself in the Coastal Bend of Texas, new man in my life... who is extremely supportive and fully expects me to decide to get my PHD at some point. Guess things worked out ok!

I am starting a new job with a new facility, and needed a Tdap booster. I'm getting so I really hate vaccine/TB test time of year. I was given the Tdap on Tuesday, ran a low grade fever for a couple day with the extreme fatigue and injection site pai...

An update: My Husband and I split in April, and are currently in the process of divorce. We just couldn't move past things. So school is on the sideline for awhile, I've moved and found a new job... and I'm ok.

I've been there. Thank you for writing this... it's beautiful.

I'm 29, pre-nursing, and am still asking myself the same question. I'm going to do my nursing degree, and if I kick myself and want to pursue an MD. title down the road, I will. Only you can make that choice. Check out a shadowing program at a local ...

Our children's hospital has room-ins... it's wonderful, especially if your are taking home a high risk or special needs child. It takes some of the pressure of Mom and Dad, and lets them get used to the thought of going home and being the sole careta...

Do the LPN. I have a friend in my Bios class that paid way to much for her MA and is now going into the nursing program. Don't get me wrong, she likes being an MA, but it does not afford the same educational opportunities and she doesn't make near as...

Don't drink it so fast. I know it's nasty, and it's hard to not want to get it over with, but it will upset your stomach if you do. I've never heard of anyone getting dx'd with GD if they couldn't keep the solution down, I've seen lots of people hav...

Move to Omaha! :-) Smaller city, good teaching hospital (UNMC/Nebraska Med. Center) and PLENTY of job opportunities... New facilities opening all over! Not to expensive to live in and we have a great social scene, especially if you like music. I fou...

She has every right to be scared. :) I bet if you give her some time and just love her and support her she'll go back when she is ready. It's hard to deal with the emotional aftershocks of a bad marriage and not expect the same thing to happen all ov...

I have a 4.0 GPA- have not done A&P yet, doing my CNA and TEAS this summer. I was told there is no way to get into the program without A&P, and you would not succeed in the program without it. That's why I wondered if you had been waitlisted ...

How did you manage to get in without the core classes being done? Were you on the waitlist? Did you have a previous bachelor degree? I guess I am confused. :)

I actually called and made an appointment to go speak to someone today. I need it for me to be able to deal.

Just a quick question- Do you feel shadowing a nurse before starting your nursing program would have been beneficial? My Facility has this option, and I just applied today to shadow. I wanted to be able to get the feel of what i am walking into befor...

Congrats!

Shadowing prior to nursing school.

Second that... our facility is for sure. I think because we don't have as many nursing programs to churn out as many grads for the region we are in. (Edited to add) Plus, we have Cancer Centers and Children Centers opening out in the western part of ...

Well said RNsRWe... :)

It's the red tape machine again. I would have had to tell him the VA wouldn't pay his bill if he had come to my facility... I'm glad Sen. Brown stepped in. I agree... it's terrible.

Hello! I am a pre nursing student, so this may be a little premature to be asking, but I tend to think things through very early. :) My dream is to be a nurse in the NICU. I have been think about this for quite awhile, but I had a very rough period o...

Quick question on this same vein... Does Apollo offer both the LPN and RN? The website makes it sound like it's only the LPN program at the Boise campus.

HAHAHAHA... There are days I would like to forget. Don't get me wrong, I love my hubby, but I am getting sooo frustrated. Whatever will be, will be though.

As much as I think that idea is so very cool (my xMIL has her cape, and her class picture was beautiful), I have to agree that people are not going to want to sew them, and may not want to buy them. (EBay has them for around 60-70 dollars) Why not g...
