Hi all, Haven't posted in a while. Background, came down with mono last year had to drop a semester. Husband left in middle of all of this and I pushed to get back into school the following semester, however son has a mood disorder and was kicked ...

I've never heard of a dawn stimulator. And when I'm that tired, I don't want to open my thermal curtains. I know my Vit D levels are dangerously low. It's part of keping vampire hours. I slept until about 4 today off and on. I know I'm going to ...

On night shift scripting has actually INCREASED our ringing. And there is always those patients who will think of things just to keep you there because they are lonely. I normally like to pride myself on making my patients feel like they are my only ...

Adding, we work 12.5 hour shifts with 3 shifts being considered full time. I have to maintain the kids insurance as per child support court order. Going part time is not an option.

I have a useless bachelors degree. In 15 years I have never found employment in my field and have had a string of fast food jobs to Help my husband sustain our family. I began the track towards nursing and got a job as a nurses assistant. I love my j...

Yes, yes I have spoken with the program. I've kept them abreast of the situation. Secondly church is out of the option. It would be hypocritical for me to serve in a capacity I don't believe in anymore (which has nothing to do we my current situatio...

I have tried pretty much all that has been suggested. Even still, this semester is finished for me, as I cannot find alternate care fast enough to continue. Which means my time in this program is finished. They will not let me back. I do not fault th...

Well, so much for that. My son got kicked out of his babysitter's today. My options are finished. Goodbye nursing school. Hello 25k in student loans plus what the soon to be exhusband left me with. And no way to pay for any of it.

It's not the books that are a problem. I have most of my books in e-format from the semester I had mono. It's the supplies. The ati registration, the lab bags, and the things the school designs specifically for the program and does not allow you t...

Regarding friends...I moved here when he left to be closer to school. My friends are down here, but are all students. So, their time to help is as limited as mine. I have asked. There is no availability.

Ex is an hour and a half away and has offered to keep them while I finish school, but it is only to get out of paying child support I feel. Secondly, between school all week and working full time on the weekends, I would never get to see my children....

None of which are in my kids school zone. They are there but kindergarten is half day and little guy needs help getting to school either by transport or getting on the bus. Those places do not transport and the bus route does not go to those location...

Loans maxed out and not disbursed in time to use for childcare. Family across the country or in other states. All of which blame me because I do not go to church. Because apparently my cheating husband is not responsible for his own genitals. Husband...

I get less than 100 in food stamps monthly. Childcare assistance requires already established daycare and a five month wait. My student loans I will only receive half of until the semester is through. That will all go to tuition and the bookstore th...

Director of department said if someone takes detailed notes week one and I am released to return to school after just a week I can stay in the program, otherwise I have to sit out the semester. I've put all my textbooks on credit card waiting for my ...

Thanks Zoe. Thanks for following me last semester too. I've lost about ten lbs. in two weeks and the nausea doesn't seem to be abating. I don't lose my meals, but I simply have no appetite and have to force myself to eat. Not the way you want to lose...

at the hospitals here where staff are color coded, Doctors are required to wear white lab coats at the very least. One hospital requires teal scrubs plus white lab coat.

Teacher said the same, and said she said so in lecture...I guess I dozed off or something because I don't remember that part. LOL

Doing a dosage calc worksheet and this was used as a drop factor.Is this a typo for micro drip?

For a occupation dominated by women, the idea that white was ever an option for pants is down right silly. No one obviously gave thought to periods when they came up with the white idea.

If you want to go into nursing don't settle for psych tech. There are no opportunities for anything less than a bachelors degree in psych. Mental health is one of those professions that require the highest level of education with the least amount of ...

It gave no drop factor, which is why I'm thinking it is a misprint for micro drip. I knew micro was 60, but there were three questions with mini drip and no micro drip questions on my worksheet.

Probably, but without an order the nurse could not do anything. She probably documented it to bring it to the doctor's attention.

I got my job with no CNA training. I was an EMT and wanted to get into more clinical. I can't deal with the driving like a bat Outta you know where in inclement weather with a human in the back. What can be done t correct those mistakes? Would you ne...

The amount of work can be overwhelming, the difficulty of the work is not necessarily if you have any background in healthcare at all. Stay on top of your assignments and you will be fine.
