Head down.....stay focused....eye on the prize....seek out others for tutoring.....block out the BS.....don't let the negative ruin your experience. Be very careful what you put in your website rants, and where you post them. I have heard of students...

Is this serious? Or did your teenage child hijack your computer? I could be wrong, but, it sounds like some-one is due for a break from the industry...I have to say this might be the most insensitive post I have ever read on this site. I know as nu...

Too funny!! no need to ask, been there! OP, Imagine having 5 wives, 14 sisters, and 3 girlfriends who hate men. That's what you are in for.

OP, I wouldn't worry yet about where you should work after you graduate... You are going to face plenty of stress just getting through school. Between reading 10 chapters, studying last week's 10 chapters for this week's test, a 1000 word research p...

So, I'm finishing my second semester of lpn program. While my grades have bee really good, there has always been that lingering question if I made the right decision by changing careers (38 yr old second career). Today during clinicals, we had a c...

I came into this from the restaurant business. So, I had no medical experience. The program at the school I attend is VERY INTENSE!!! 8 hours of class, 8 hours of books, study all weekend!!! It;s alot of information at one time. But, if you real...

Hello all! It has been a couple of months since I have posted on here. School has kept me pretty occupied. During skills lab on Thursday, I ran into a situation that has left me concerned. We are learning diagnostic tests, which included accu-che...

I would say that it can be done that way, but probably not as accurate. In general, the first thin people do when the stethascope hits their skin is start breathing deep. I have a really hard time counting and timing the respirations. I find mysel...

I can believe it could happen, as the officer in charge of the scene has the autonomy to charge pretty much whomever they see fit. However, I would like to believe that the good samaritan law would cover this carpenter, and relieve him of any liabil...

Just let it out!!! It is awsome that you can giggle and laugh in some of the toughest times. And I am sure that your brain has an off switch for when it's not appropriate. Don't give it another thought. There are plenty of us grumpy people in the...

Nope!! Live in sunny Florida. 80 degrees today! It's awsome!!!

2Tall, Sorry I don't have much info about the VA in this area, but I couldn't help leaving you a reply. See, I am from Dayton, Oh. And your post caught my eye as I am sitting on my patio drinking a cup. It's a chilly 65 degrees today. But the weather...

Try not to stress too much over it. It can't be too bad if they told you they wanted to talk about it next week. It was definately in poor taste for your manager to do it this way though. Best of luck!!

Hello there! I'm in hernando county. It does seem that most LPN positions are in LTC facilities or clinics/DR offices. Tampa General has positions available for LPN, but of course, experienced only. I haven't looked into Bayfront or All Childrens, as...

OK, I am currently enrolling in a program. have done all the interviews, physicals, gotten booster shots, taken tests. Now just waiting on the phone call from admissions to let me know I'm in. However, after reading this thread, I'm possibly re-consi...

I have been watching intently! Coming from a military family, and being a vet myself, I have always been interested in military history. After seeing this on History Channel, I have to go out and find the box set. It is truly a shame how few peop...

myty, STOP! TAKE A BREATH, RELAX!!! At this rate, your debt is going to be the least of your worries. Keep it up, and you'll be leaving posts on how to deal with ulcers, sleep deprivation, and stress related issues. Let's take a walk through your po...

Hello all, I am kind of new to this site,(only a couple of months)and I have a few questions about how best to pay for school. I'm starting school in january, and I'm not sure what is the best way to finance this. Is there really any such thing as...

WOW! Seriously? it seems as if you are really not getting what is being said to you. Either by your employer, or by the rosponses to your post. So, here is the "real deal". 1) You are fortunate to still have your job. It is not the responsibility of ...

Liyy022, whether or not to purchase the TEAS study guide really depends on how well you already know the information. I bought the guide, and it really didn't help me alot. I also used the link that was previously given. (http://www.testprepreview...

Hello, First off, I think this site is awsome!! I have been on for a couple of months now, and don't think I've even scratched the surface of info I could find here. So.... I am starting to get a little concerned about the decision I have rece...

Hello all. Today, I posted this same question in the general section of this site. While I was very impressed with the feedback, I would really like to hear from some of the nurses located in Florida. You see, I am planning to start school in Jan...

Hello, Devil's advocate here. My first question is "does she really get it?" Is this student being singled out because she is too frail to stand up for herself, or does she really not get it? If the issue is that she is lacking the technical s...

Try this link. See if it helps in your situation. http://www.publishinghelp.com/sredsal.htm I'm really confused though. As I understand by your post, you started the work last Monday. Does this mean you are doing the work without having set a p...

WOW!! Where does one begin on this one? Let me pre-face by saying that I have yet to start my nursing career. I will be starting school in January. That being said, I cannot offer any practical advice as it pertains to the field of nursing. What I do...
