    Demoted, now what to do

    BabyCatchr replied to cenote's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say I'm sorry that happened. It seems in life sometimes the good die young. I have had similar experiences, and when you learn to CYA, you can get negative reactions for that as well....

    BabyCatchr replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I live in San Antonio, TX. We have an extremely low cost of living, as well as low pay! LVNs make about $12-$15 an hour here, and RNs $25-$30 depending on the specialty. That is less than an...

    What makes Nursing school hard?

    BabyCatchr replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    It sounds like my first year of teaching, only we didn't have the memorization and studying for tests. Making a test is a lot easier than taking a test! We had the extra hours - about 80-90 per week...

    Please do keep in touch, Msjam. No, I have never had family around to support me except the 1 1/2 years I lived with my grandparents from 18-19 to care for them. I was on my own since the age of 6 -...

    BabyCatchr replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    $100k per year? You will likely go your whole career and not make that much, even if you get an MBA, MSN, CNP, here where I live - but we have a cost of living of less than half what you do in CA. You...

    Know It Alls: CNAs and Nursing Students- How To Handle?

    BabyCatchr replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    I agree. If you think you already know how to do it, you are doing the same thing as them. As a first year teacher, I constantly had to deal with the same thing. I was told to smile and nod and say...

    LVN School in San Antonio

    BabyCatchr replied to TRIBALROSE13's topic in Texas Nursing

    The LVN programs in San Antonio are St. Philip's, Galen, and Baptist. They all offer the LVN to RN bridge, but it takes a lot longer to do that rather than just do the RN somewhere else. SAC has only...

    BabyCatchr replied to katy0504's topic in Texas Nursing

    Galen is $25,000. SAC or St. Philip's are only around $5000. Also, Galen is not accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges, which means some of the classes may not transfer if you want to go...

    Ok, finished 2ndLife's post. It helps to hear I am not the only one being so frugal. We even turn off the upstairs air conditioner and all stay downstairs to save money (have to sleep in the same...
