I was one of those "young mothers" and my nurses were so compassionate and helped me so much (my parents weren't there with me...too embarrassed) during my 32 hour labor that I will never forget them. I even know that the way they helped and support...

I got mine!!! Thanks sooooo much, I know this is time consuming for you and I really appreciate it!!

Don't worry, I was like you...I was just sick about going, I walked up the sidewalk the first night, then back out to my car and then back in again lol! Then after the first class, I was just sooo proud of myself for actually doing it, and was so exc...

I KNOW I read this info here somewhere, but for the life of me can't find it...I need the names of the best books to buy to supplement A&P, Chemistry and Micro. Also the best books for general nursing (like Dosages made incredibly easy) Are the ...

Oh, sounds great!Thanks!

Ok, thanks! I've never heard of RNotes, what is that?

:) Thanks Brenda, that is encouraging!!!!! :)

Our school lets us know in June --AFTER the summer courses start??!!

I'm so sorry you've had such a bad experience, no one deserves to have to be spoken to like that. Just remember that you are a valuable, special person and just let those awful words slide right off your back and into the bedpan!!! Good luck to you!

Thats nice to know that they are so flexible! What type of work did you do at these places? Thanks for all the info!

I'm not sure there is ever a "perfect" time to go to school when you have children, I thought it would be easier now that my four boys are all teenagers, in some aspects it is (they can drive etc), but there are lots of times I wish they were still b...

Hi! I'd be interested in more info on your time at Mercy, I'm supposed to start nursing school this fall if all goes well and I get accepted (find out early June). I talked to the recruiter at Mercy this week about working there in the clinics duri...

Mints to have in your mouth when you are doing stinky things :chuckle

Do you find that most of your friends are in the medical field, or do you have friends from lots of different areas? Do you have lots of cyber nursing friends too? Just curious

Psychology for me too, it was soooo common sense! Comp 1 and Comp 2 were also way easy, but I love English though. Now, Chemistry will be a whole different ballgame!

I'm enrolled in A&P and Chemistry this summer, sounds like a fun summer doesn't it!! I'd like some advice on study guides too..thanks!

:uhoh21: ewwwwwww!

I'm so tired of flip flopping on my decision whether to start nursing school or not, I've been told I'm to start in the fall, but still have hesitations...could you give me an idea what a "typical" (I know every day is different due to different pati...

Dave, thanks for all that info - that sounds wonderful!! I've been really thinking about OR, and that really gave me some interesting insight into what goes on! I've thought about OB too, but I'm sure I will change my mind in clinicals as everyone s...

Ohhhhh, so what exactly is a skilled nursing facility (a hospital???) Geesh, I'm soo clueless lol!

Sorry, but what does SNF stand for? I've racked my brain and none of the things I'm coming up with could possibly be right! :chuckle

What does it mean when you all are saying you work in Telemetry? What exactly is that and what do you do? Sorry...but still learning while waiting for school to start

Ahhhhhh. So the nurse monitors those machines and gives basic care to those patients with heart problems??? Is there a specific nurse to monitor those machines, or do all nurses do that? I mean - is that a specialty thing, or a basic nursing skill...

From your experience, do most nurses work until in their late 60s or do they retire earlier than that (due to the physical nature of the job etc), I know many people in their 60s are in great physical shape, (my mom can run circles around me lol), bu...

I don't understand why they wouldn't rather bend over backwards to keep the experienced nurses, makes more sense to have better care! I hope I can stay with it for many many years after all this work to get there! I might need to start getting in b...
