wow... excellent ghost story. O_O

I love creepy stories... This one was quite bittersweet, but at least the "little girl ghost" is happy now. :flwrhrts:

You're quite welcome! I understand the need for everyone to vent as it keeps us from killing one another!

I just :redbeathe'd your post! Kudos to you! Hopefully, when I'm a "baby :nurse:" I get to work w/ a Dr (or "baby M.D.) w/ a similar mindset as yours. (now could you pass along this attitude to some others, perhaps? That would be AWESOME. Just...

This story gave me goosebumps and chills through and through! LOVED it! ( Tragic, yet sad as well... What kind of person does that, states that they want a divorce while someone is in the hospital? Guess they needed the other party to be in a vulnera...

OMG! I hate using that particular vernacular, but dang! I don't blame you one bit for changing jobs at all! In fact I will hope and pray that you get something much saner and healthier for you! Please let us know what happens... It can't be legal...

Keep up the good thread everyone! As a student in the midst of clinicals, it helps to have some good tips to survive on!

How appalling that the travesty that he complains of is how the nurses look... ugh Guess all that studying doesn't matter if you aren't super sexy, huh? I would have to say that sir, this isn't a dirty movie ya know, it's health care.

Very sorry that you went through all that..try to keep your head up! Hope something positive comes your way!

Be straight forward with the Tech and RN. Let them know exactly what you can do and make it clear that you do want to help as well as learn. You can do this! Speak with your clinical instructor if need be or the clinical Team Leader if you guys do th...

I wonder how someone could even get a job in that manner, not even being able to obtain licensing. Seems like it could be dangerous... Just my two cents. Doesn't sound like a situation I'd want to be in. I really hope a solution is found...

Lowest I've seen thus far was my own: 88/55. I was in labor w/ my daughter post sleeping pill amd labor inducement. I was hypertensive w/ all my pregnancies so when I woke up w/ a contraction despite sleeping meds and saw that bp, I couldn't believe ...

Lmbo!!! I almost spit my drink @ my phone reading the "balls" story!

First of all: congrats! As a nursing student, I am truly inspired! Take the position, learn, get your experience! Woo hoo! You made it!

As I tell my children, there is usually more than one way to do something/achieve a goal. Others do not live our lives, we do. Do what your heart and soul desires and requires.

What an inspiring article! I look forward to reading more about your journey into PhD.

Congrats! Way to rise above and persevere!

I wish you the very best... Don't feel so bad. I am in an LVN program, full-time, living off of financial aid and my most awesome and generous parents and I'm 33 yrs old! What courage it took to move that far from anything that you knew...despite the...

After reading this particular topic, I feel very grateful for the LVN program I am in right now. We just finished our 1st semester and we have already learned vital signs, basic assessments, take care of incontinent patients, document, and blood suga...

I am currently in the LVN program at WC and am looking into the LVN bridge to RN program at WC as well. I have heard though that due to budget cuts that the program won't be starting another class (after 2011 start) until late 2012...? Any news on th...

Anyone have any info on LVN salaries in the DFW metroplex? Inquiring mind wants to know. I have done some research via job sites, careerbuilder, etc, and gleaned some info, but not anything definitive.

First of all, congrats on landing a 2nd interview! Don't have any advice, but wish you all the best!

Thanks for posting this! Still want to become a nurse! :D

I have to agree w/ you on this one... The fact that there are several witnesses is quite disturbing. Don't know if I could go back to that room if I worked at that particular facility!

LuvAlz I think that this was a blessing in disguise, as crappy as it was for it to happen... Perhaps you are better off, IMHO. Sounds like to me that you do your best as a nurse, put the patients first, which is what counts. :yelclap:
