I am at my wits end...I have no idea what to do....It seems when I get stressed or even the slightest cold, I get either a massive fever blister or a little cluster of them on my bottom lip. I am a extremely hygenic person so I do not understand why ...

Can you tell me about your schooling and experience as a diploma RN? Also where did you find your program at? I am in Connecticut and have searched all I can to find somewhere that offers this. Thanks.

Well, my husband just made advancement this week. We found out that we are moving to Key West Florida, the Coast Guard base there. Can anyone give me some suggestions to some sites regarding nursing schools, community colleges, daycare for my son and...

Ok. I am fed up. I may be a nursing student but I have a CNA background. The LTC I worked in was a good one, I rarely seen incorrect things done. However, my Grandfather is in a nursing home, grant it, its not an expensive one because we all cannot a...

Ok. Maybe I am just not seeing it, but why do most people think it weird that I am allergic to oranges? I go to the doctor to for a visit and they ask what I am allergic to, I say oranges, the MA's or nurses look at me like I am nuts or like they hav...

Thanks to everyone. Now I dont feel so odd about my allergy. Its just so weird because when I tell the MA's or Doctors they just look at me like I am making it up. I know my son needs to be exposed to the oranges first but I dont think that I am rea...

Actually, it happens if I eat grapefruit, but not lemons. I know people have found that odd.

I dont understand some CNA's either. I was a CNA for sometime and yes I will admit, sometimes my job was yucky or stinky. But I would never leave someone in a wet brief or abuse them. I treated the residents with the love and compassion that I would ...

I have been doing some looking around in here and found a few sites like http://www.istudysmart.com http://www.medassistant.org The first site says you can go for your associates in science/nursing. But I am wonder is this a valid thing to do? Does a...

oh my goodness...i am just worried about driving all that with a child in the car and going over that US 1 bridge for 122 miles...a little too scarey for me

Can you help me list possible causes of severe piercing chest pain in a healthy adult woman? Pleuricy Costochondritis GERD Angina ??? Pneumonia Anxiety attack Pinched Nerve Some type of trauma to chest area Your answers are appreciated...

Thanks for all the great replies. Trying to reposition the body does not help, actually makes it worse. Been there and done that with anti-gas, even prilosec for possible GERD. CT scan ruled out gall bladder. I dont know what else to come up with. ...

Not an ER nurse here. But I was in the ER a few weeks ago for some lower right quad pain, ouch!! I seen a gentlemen come in, who looked in his late 20's, with a young girl, that looked 17 and said he wanted to be tested for STD's so he could have wi...

Hi there. I have battled depression ever since I was young. I have been on MANY different meds. The best one that I have been on, and still am on, is Wellbutrin. Actually when I started it many years again for the first time, I had actually lost weig...

I understand where youre coming from. As a child, I could not swallow pills for anything. My issue was I had a fear of choking. Even the smallest pill would make me nuts. I would get ready to swallow the pill and I would get it to the back of my thro...

I apologize but it seems like the only people who can understand the stress I am under is on this site. I cant even really talk to my best friend because she is not in the same boat as me. I am a pre-nursing student and trying to get a psychology deg...

I am not paying school with my own personal money first of all so I am not spending our money. I have a Pell Grant, and a state assistance grant. So ALL of my schooling is paid for no matter what. I think that I am entitled to get the education I des...

Babygurl- Honestly, you do not get to choose your first assignment. They will let you list your first 3 top picks and they will go from there. You may not get your first one so dont be disappointed. As for when to go see a recruiter, in my own experi...

Another veteran Navy HM here. I went to school in Great Lakes and let me tell you, the school was challenging at times. I think they train the HM's alot better now. More knowledge, hands on training and it doesnt really matter if its so fast paced, 1...

I would have to agree with all of you. When its your first baby and if you were not an OB nurse, you may think that the nurses are handling your baby roughly. When I had my son, I had worked in health care and was a pre-nursing student, I was a littl...

Oh my. I am not an RN yet but I have been a CNA. I worked in a facility where some of the older CNA's thought that they were the nurse. They would take out IV's, administer meds, mess with GI tubes. The CNA's would always tell me, its ok, the nurses ...

oops. as for child care vouchers, i have tried to get those..apparently my husband makes too much every month to be eligible for that...i even looked into daycare/preschool for low income families, once again he makes too much money which baffles me....

Thanks to all. Let me start by answering so questions: We are Coast Guard, they do not have ANY base housing here. There is Navy housing but its in Bremerton Washington which is over an hour drive from where the base is. My husband receives Basic Hou...

Oops. My bad. I was just responding to traveling in general, not traveling nurses. Sorry.

Hi there again. Like the doctor told me, she found NOTHING wrong with my ears. No redness or fluid, no signs of a cold either. Its just weird. I am still having balance problems and here it is Monday and I had the CT done on Thursday. I was thinking...
