  1. Am I making the right decision? Please help!!

    LCinTraining replied to Jennie.K's topic in General Students

    Yes you will read a lot, but I still found online courses easier, if that helps at all. I think just talking things through has helped you decide what you want to do. Best of luck in your venture,...

  2. Be Careful When Posting

    LCinTraining replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I post with my image to remind myself not to say anything I wouldn't say to an employer. People need to always be self conscious that even if things are "private" people have ways of finding...

    LCinTraining replied to jellybean321's topic in General Students

    How long are your work shifts? I work nights, and have to work full time as well. Thankfully 3 twelves are considered full time. 3 kids and I hold the health insurance for them as to put them on my...

  4. I passed my CNA skills exam

    LCinTraining replied to parde17's topic in General Students

    I remember freaking out every skills test I took for my EMT-B. Our instructor actually yelled at me once for freaking out LOL. But she shortened the amount of time we had to accomplish everything so...

  5. Am I making the right decision? Please help!!

    LCinTraining replied to Jennie.K's topic in General Students

    I'm looking at this as an Army brat. Born and raised with a military dad. And my thoughts are...you will NEVER have a guarantee that you will stay put long enough for a particular school. This will...

  7. Am I making the right decision? Please help!!

    LCinTraining replied to Jennie.K's topic in General Students

    If you do end up having to move, sometimes schools will make exceptions for transferring into their programs for military spouses. Try looking into an in home day care. They tend to be cheaper, and...

  8. Am I making the right decision? Please help!!

    LCinTraining replied to Jennie.K's topic in General Students

    Stick with your BSN program. The military offers separation pay. It may be worth looking into in order to finish school. Also, if your husband is an officer, you may make just enough to look into a...

  9. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Coursesmart is 6-12 month rentals.

  10. Forced to sit out of school for a year

    LCinTraining replied to DIVINELY FAVORED's topic in General Students

    I've had to take two years off due to other issues. I cried as well. I should have graduated already, but I'm just now starting clinicals. Many people have setbacks. Just stick to it next year....

  11. When does it get better!?

    LCinTraining replied to s0ad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have 24 hours to report an injury as per our state workman's comp policy. I'd say it's the same for nursing school. Please call your teacher, coordinator, who ever is in charge and get this...

  12. Asked to speak at nursing orientation

    LCinTraining replied to guest042302019's topic in General Students

    I'm so waiting to be released to exercise again by my surgeon. I was altering my diet already slightly, and was watching pounds fall off. I just want to get back into shape and maintain my energy...

  13. pediatric nurse from germany

    LCinTraining replied to ciccone's topic in General Students

    I think it differs per state. You'd have to find out from that state's health department, then go through whatever requirements they want you to do. Where in Germany are you from? My dad was...

  14. Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    So much has gone wrong the past few weeks and we were looking at having to move AGAIN. Our landlord has been so absolutely wonderful about things and insists we stay at the property we were renting...

  15. Not too many of "You."

    LCinTraining replied to Cali_Nurse_209's topic in General Students

    We have only one male nurse on our night crew at work. We call him our token boy. But it's all in fun. He knows we absolutely adore when he's here. He's a great team player and if I need lifting...

  16. Med Surg Advice

    LCinTraining replied to athomas2340's topic in General Students

    I'm not there yet, and I may change my mind entirely then, but I liken this to pregnancy. Everyone wants to share their horror story to scare the $#!^ out of you. To make you think like it's the...

  17. Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Pay it forward is definitely a principle I can get behind.

  18. What healthcare jobs involving direct patient care do not require heavy lifting?

    LCinTraining replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    In our hospital patients are not given an option of using a hoyer lift or not. That decision is determined by therapy. If you are not strong enough to move yourself out of bed into a wheel chair with...

  19. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Vital Source said they only offer 180 day rentals. I need my textbooks for 2 years or longer (depending on if I need to refresh things to sit the GRE for grad

    LCinTraining replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    I hear ya. I'm at the brain exploding phase right before classes

  21. Good study method or too OCD?

    LCinTraining replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    I used to outline everything when I studied too. My entire undergrad I did it and I got really behind. This second time around I tried something a little different. I took detailed notes in class. I...

    Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not religious. LOL. However, I am very, very, very grateful to the individuals who have gone out of their way to help

  24. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    LCinTraining replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Yup. I started as a lactation consultant which apparently meant I was a gynecologist as well. LOL Then I became an EMT, which meant I was a paramedic. Now I work as a nurse's aid. I'm officially...

  25. Textbooks? E-books?

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, classes start in 2 weeks and I'm super excited. However, nervous as well. It's been a long road with pre nursing pre-reqs and children. Now that I'm finally here, it's hard to believe it. Even...
