  1. Need help deciding to go from social work to nursing

    No matter what anyone says, age is just a number. If you feel up to it, then do what your heart wants. You're never too old to make yourself happy. Hey, the good thing is, if it doesn't work out, you DO have something great already to fall back on.
  2. Finding Balance

    I had a family member get after me about dishes being piled up and my bedroom being a mess. So I simply stated, "if you do not like what you see, turn back around and walk out the door you just came through!" IMHO, nursing school is almost like a ful...
  3. That is pretty cool. The government worker one, I can see that for sure. I have plenty of military friends who lack in the driving department lol!
  4. Those experienced in taking blood pressure, I'M DESPERATE!!

    The lady that had taught me how to do BP, said that sometimes people can hear something all the way to the end, but the lower number is when you actually hear a change in the way it sounds. I agree with hburatti85 though, ask your teacher how they ar...
  5. My Mom is American and had no health insurance, lol. Her stupidity though! Oh and she was living in Pictou, Nova Scotica at the time.
  6. I am American, so it's sort of funny... When I was 17, I went to Canada for a month. I remember my Mom who had been living there for years, got sick and needed to pay $500 out of pocket to be seen at the emergency room. Then when I went to England, I...
  7. Frustratingly Obnoxious People.....*vent*

    Kinda in the same boat. Where are a few girls in one of my classes that never shut up. I have never heard that much bad language in one sitting even. I had gotten late to class on the first day (they sent me to the wrong building, whilst I was early)...
  8. Take the IV out... yourself.

    So, I spent some time in the emergency room. Turns out I strep throat, so that's why my fever was being cruddy and throat getting worse. I never honestly get sick and the one time I do... it's not so pretty. Funny thing is, I am also a nursing studen...
  9. Take the IV out... yourself.

    lol, it's okay. :] I signed the papers after the nice one helped me. :] I never saw "BlankieRN" again. :] I had the IV for being really dehydrated. No, fun, but such is life, hey? I am just glad I rarely get sick! My son on the other hand... it seem...
  10. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Also, I would like to add... I am glad I am not the only one who has been in this situation. The nurse that helped me take it out, was absolutely sweet. She felt bad that the other nurse had done that. Lesson learned for me however; If you're in the ...
  11. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Yeah they did. So I signed it after the other nurse had taken the IV out.
  12. Take the IV out... yourself.

    I never said anything to her. I was just waiting and watching. Only thing I can think of was when I sighed from being tired. And no need to apologize. :] Everyone reads into things differently. Yes, I did file a complaint.
  13. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Never! I wouldn't want someone to do damage to themselves from something that could of easily been taken care of quickly.
  14. Do Nurses Get Vacations Every Year

    We're in the same boat, I read this too, haha! I think I am tired though. Too much studying from school... zzzz...
  15. Tidewater Community College

    Really?! They didn't give me any problems at all. Just a big run around on stupid paperwork! lol. Maybe I have one up on being a single Mom and that's why they haven't given me too many problems.
  16. Tidewater Community College

    It would be things like, "oh you start this date." Months later "classes are full, so this is your new start date" I was like wtf serious? Ugh! So I went over to MCI. The good thing is, I got FA, Pell Grant, went to OppInc, and some how managed to ta...
  17. Wise to move from America to England?

    I had to giggle when reading this. I came to the international forum because one day I would like to move back to England. So, I just wanted to see what I'd have to get myself into after nursing school and gathering quite a bit of experience here. So...
  18. Tidewater Community College

    I am actually going to MCI in Va Beach. TCC has given me too many problems in the past, so I switched schools and have been getting along at MCI much better. However good luck to you! I hope it works for the best!
  19. NO PRIVACY: HIPPA? What's HIPPA

    I'd say it was about half a year ago I went to my son's old Ped. I had been requesting his shot record for weeks. Then I finally got a call saying they found it and I could come pick it up. Alright, cool... I get there, I see the top sheet has his na...
  20. My Two Cents

    I am in nursing school as well. Honestly, I would be ticked off if they made it easier. It's better to work HARD at something than have it handed to you on a golden platter. That would be absolutely obscene.
  21. Got No Job? Come be an RN !

    Well, I guess one will read and see as they wish. Anyone can be a good nurse, but it takes some sort of compassion to be half way decent. I have seen many nurses who were absolutely lazy about their jobs, not only that but the rudest people you could...
  22. Got No Job? Come be an RN !

    I am going to school to become an LPN. I've had friends go into nursing because they wanted a sure job. When asked about my motives they are shocked. As I was a young girl, growing up I saw my Grandmother constantly fighting for her life. She was ho...
  23. What Is The Total Cost Of Your LVN/LPN Program?

    1.] Around $30k-something. Yeah... a lot. 2.] Yes, I did. I also need to go to a place called OppInc. to get a 10% discount on tuition and $5k towards it. In all I think it is somewhere around $13k I will be pulling out in student loans. 3.} Medical ...
  24. avidhunter3; Wow! plaza; I know they all require vaccinations, but I guess more or less what I meant was, it it ever turn out you had everything done as a child/teen, then all of a sudden you weren't immune to some so you had to have it all taken all...
  25. So, I am starting school on Monday for the LPN program and I have been getting everything in order. Honestly, I didn't think it would be this painful! Literally! Tuesday, I went to get my physical and drug test done for school, that was no problem. H...
