There definately are people who will steal from residents. However, there are also a lot of residents who misplace things or imagine things or just plain out want to cause waves. Sometimes it is hard to figure out what is going on when you are deal...

Why would you go to a university and then transfer over to a community college? Why not just get your prereqs done at the community college you plan on transfering to. I've had a LOT of advisors screw up my schedules before and put me into classes ...

Would having an entry level separation from the military make me inelgible to sit for the nclex? My dd214 says under reason for separation 'errenous enlistment', I don't know if that is relevant or not.

You have to be careful with any of these distance education schools just because there are a few states out there who won't let you take the boards. I believe Illinois is one of them and it does not recognize excelsior. I'd love to get my RN eventu...

I'm still a student nurse so maybe there are rockier roads ahead, but I enjoyed nutrition and even my cna class and I love reading about health related materials, but so far I can't stand anatomy and physiology. I mean I'm learning it, but I absolut...

I'm going for my lpn right now, but I'm considering going for my english degree afterwards. Go to school on a part time basis and then maybe teach high school english in a few years and do nursing per diem work in the summer. Don't really know. Th...

You can usually skip periods with a lot of birth control...you don't necessarily have to take the special 'seasonal' one. I'm on the nuvaring and my doctor told me instead of taking the ring out for a week break to just insert a new ring right away,...

Ah I'm just a student nurse, so I'm still learning about Hippa laws. I just assumed that would be confidential. I'm surprised it isn't.

How could you tell the girls parents without breaking confidentiality? While I do agree that this girl is being extremely naive and stupid, I know MANY women who had children as a teenager and they are wonderful parents who are not on welfare. Teen...

Wow coming from a family of blue collared workers, I'm extremely offended. Get off your high horse. Being a "professional" doesn't make you better then anyone else. Blue collared workers aren't ignorant people, they just picked a different profess...

Oh I hate jobs like that. I had a receptionist job when I was 17, and because I didn't pick up on doing invoices and all these other new skills right away that the girl who was there before me could do, I was deemed incompetent. The girl before me ...

I remember when I was doing my cna clinicals...we'd get a fifteen minute break and a 30 minute lunch break and we were only there for 6 hours so I would never eat on either. I'm unemployed so I don't exactly like wasting my money on pop and candy ba...

umm well even in the military we got to wear our underwear. That doesn't seem right. They shouldn't have to be humiliated in order to get a physical. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable in a situation like that. Sorry I don't really have any advic...

Customer service jobs aren't much better. You get cussed at and threatened for many things that are completely out of your control. I worked at this huge nursery department store and the other departments never put price tags or barcodes on any of ...

Well first there was operations system management, and then computer networking, and then since I realized the job outlook for both of those jobs were less then ideal..I started looking into radiology and then respiratory therapy and then finally nur...

Well I'm sorry I offended...I'm a small rural town and there is a pretty bad problem with meth here so that could contribute to the high drop out rate and other problem. As for being married and having children, I don't really see a problem with get...

Nope but there sure is a significant difference from Chicago. It might not be the south persay, but the rural environment instead. The high schools out here have a 50% drop out rate...and in my class of 30 people, there was maybe one other girl who...

I dunno everyone is picking on the younger students. There was this one lady in her 60s and we were doing transfers from a gurnee to a bed, and she had the head of one of my classmates...while we were transferring her this persons strength all of a ...

Oh yea I've skipped most of my classes...but eh I have a 4.0 so I can't be doing that bad. I don't think that it is that the classes are too easy, more like some people do a better job of teaching themselves then listening to someone else drone on a...

hmmm in my CNA class we got our final class grades back and one of my classmates looked over my shoulder at mine and he remarked very loudly in a condescending tone "YOU got a 97%, how?". I fought the urge to kick him, but whatever some people are s...

It really does work...something about the shark liver or whatever in it..makes the swelling go down. Worth a try.

I think I might have to bring my laptop next year...I mean I have one, so I might as well put it to use. I am horrible at writing down notes because I'm such a slow sloppy writer, and I spend so much time taking notes I stop listening and then I get...

Well I got certified, but I'm not currently working as one. As for ltc, everyone is different so you might love working there. I absolutely hated my cna clinicals and I would never work in ltc. Its all up to you, good luck in what you decide. I m...

what?!?! sweet 16 parties actually exist? Man I thought that was just in the movies, I got gipped on my 16th birthday then. There is a special kind of dress for the occasion? Explain this to me, I'm intrigued.
