I applied once. My GPA was 3.0 or so.. I was on a waiting list for a couple of weeks and notified about 2 wks before school started that I had been admitted into the ASN program.

Well I dont think it was quite "silly" but....after working for about 17hrs in the LTC facility I was working for at the time...I was attempting to drive home..going way too fast, but it was like 2am and my bed was calling my name! I knew a truck was...

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I can totally relate. It happened to me several times and they never gave me good reasons for it. I was usually the scapegoat for other problems in the facility. Keep your chin up, pick yourself up, and know that y...

I have been an RN since 1994....but a few yrs ago, I began receiving disability. I absolutely hate being home all the time. I miss being a nurse. I miss my patients, etc.. I miss making real money, my own money... Does anyone have any ideas of what I...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have alot to think about and some good starter points.. I am an ASN RN, which limits what I can do, bc some areas require BSN. I dont have the resources or mind-set to go back to college. But perhaps a tech schoo...

Ive worked in hospitals b4, but mostly have spent my career in LTC. I think its great. I do feel that I lost some of my procedural skills that I did in the hospital...but when needed, I can still do them. I never missed hospital nursing. I cant imagi...

I personally think that all nurses, regardless of title, should be required to be CNAs while in school. The education and experience is invaluable....and usually if you are a CNA b4 a nurse, u have a better appreciation for your CNAs. I know I do. I ...

I totally agree here. I know someone who is trying to pass the NCLEX. Shes failed 3 times. Frankly, from the questions she asks me...Im not sure she should be an RN...however, shes already an LPN...so I dont see why she is having such a hard time...y...

I believe this was solely the responsibility of the LPN in this situation. She had her pt's and the RN had hers. I worked step down in a hospital right out of nursing school. The RN charge nurse for the shift sometimes had to take pts herself, at ti...

pink....bc on top of everything, im a very feminine lady who cares about others. pink is one of my favorite colors

to be honest...i wanted to help ppl...i remember being a patient in the hospital when i was 9yrs old. I was just mesmerized by the nurses coming in and helping me. I decided then and there thats what i wanted to do...ive never wanted to be anything e...

i have found prayer very helpful..but i cant say that i do it on a daily basis...altho i should

i worked a little while in nursing school. my last summer before graduation, i worked in a nursing home as a CNA....wow, what a hard job. I learned alot.

i have one on my left breast....a long stem red rose with the stem sticking out of a heart... i wish i had the money to get a few more...i think thier kinda cool....if a person doesnt go overboard.

i have to agree with what the others have said. LTC can be a very rewarding place to work, albeit, hard place to work, for many reasons. I have worked for about 5 different facilities, each was different, with thier own problems. Staffing is a tough ...

I have been struggling with cigarettes for years..ive quit several times, only to pick them up again. I have now been cigie free for about 3 wks....and Im gonna do it this time....I have too...asthma is killing me...
