Hi everyone Well I am waitlisted to get into a nursing program in 2012. That's fine and everything. I still have pre-reqs to take and stuff. Anyways, I was in a car accident about a year ago. I've been taking Oxycodone Imm Release tabs 4-5 tim...

I hope you all don't mind that I'm posting seeing that I'm not a nurse...my mom is if that counts, she's been one for 25 years, my aunt is also and is going on 30 years as well as another aunt, going on 30 yrs. Anyways, what a creep of a doctor, so...

Hi, I will pray for you that you get by. Do you know what is causing the anger? I only ask that because I seldomly do feel angry alot but mostly sad. I'm 33 and believe I've been depressed since a was a child. I know I need counseling, more than ...

Hello everyone. I am really sorry if this is not the correct area to post questions about nursing and nursing info. I have searched allnurses.com and haven't had lucky finding where to post, although, before I became a member had been reading much ...

Do you know if there is a need for nurses to work overnight shifts? I am deff not a morning person, a true night owl! When I wake up, I am in extreme pain, not in my back, but my head. Where I used to work, one of my lovely co-workers decided she ...

Hi Moogie! Thanks for the reply. I've wondered about the accererated BSN program. I often doubt myself and wonder if I'm good enough to get in. I read forums where one school only accepted I believe 32 students out of 140. The cost is crazy too, ...

Hi Followingmydream! Thanks for the reply and sorry for such a late responce. And thanks a lot for clarifying that CNA's were different than LPNs. Someone, not on here, told me they were the same, then I started researching it and found them not t...

WOW I never realized how hard it was to get into a nursing school. I kick my butt each time I think about it- that when I graduated from High School, I should have pursued the career, that was in 94. BUT the thought of blood, bodily fluids, poop, a...

Hi everyone. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. I'm not a nurse, but want to become one. I am from Worcester, Massachusetts and will be attending Quinsigamond Community College for an ADN. I've already have an Associate's degree from Q...

WOW $50.00 per credit. Gosh it seems like you hit the lottery. I want to move there and go to that school. When I went to the state college, (Worcester State College), some of their fees were just highway robbery. (not including books, that's crazy ...

Have you ever tried to take a bottle just say a coke glass bottle and throw it? It releases so much tension, maybe that will help. You should see how much stress it releases, just by throwing it and hearing it break. I'm not some nut who collects ...

Hi, I am new here and just a bit confused. First off, I am not a nurse, not in nursing school yet, but wait-listed till 2012 to start clincals. I don't understand why she is going through all of this because of her medications? This kind of scares m...

From my experience with all this, my best advice would be to consult a lawyer. I am in the middle of a WC litigation with my former employer. How and why would a doctor not treat you because it happened at work, that's crazy. The numbness down yo...

Could you provide a link for nurses with disabilites? I am waiting to get into a program, and I guess I have a disability. You can't see my disability because it's chronic pain. I've learned to live with it and won't let it stop me from doing what...

Well good luck. I was also diagnosed with Bipolar #2, but I never had a manic episode, but the doctors are the pros. I also have anxiety. I found that medication is not always the answer. If it was- I'd be as happy as can be, so I think I am goin...

I agree about staying employable. I was fired because I filed a WC claim at a non health care employer. They got upset with me because I appealed the WC claim, after harassing me. When I was terminated in an email that said I no longer have a positio...

Thanks for the replies. Well, yes, I am working on my addiction and finally getting help. It takes a lot to talk to your doctor about it. The drug that helped me the most seemed to have turn on me. It's oxycodone. After I get off this stuff, I w...

I think a lot of people in here are right. I have to wait until 2012 to start the program and I'm 33 Oh Gosh I'll be really old by then but like people said you'll be an age no matter what. 2012 will come and go...just like 2009 came so fast...some...

Hi. I'm new here. But is a CNA the same as an LPN? I have been waitlisted for a CNA or I guess Practical Nurse? I don't like the idea that I will have to wipe people's behinds but I just have to suck it up. Is this a good way for me to go? CNA T...

Sorry for all the post, and sorry moogie if i misread your post about declaring a major. Honestly, sometimes I feel like just jumping into an accelerated BSN because of my educational background, but those things are so darn expensive and they also ...

Moogie- I have an associates and two bachelors and I'll be going for my ADN in a year or two. What you need to do is pick any degree program, no matter what it is, then you are classified as being in a program and qualify for Financial Aid. I did i...

Hi, I am sorry about your back pain and I know what it's like and I'm not even a nurse yet. I have one pre-req before I can be waitlisted. I was in a car accident and herniated L4/5 S1 and wow how painful. They told me after 9 months of pain to h...

Thank you for your responce. I am having a bit difficulty figuring this forum out, as I'm new...and I've joined many other non nursing sites!
