   sdg replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

   In Birmingham, TEARS and the local EMA set up separate pet shelters for locals and evacuees to house their pets during the storm. The radio stations also advertised which motels would accept pets and what the conditions were. My mom and her family c...

   I wish my school had something like that. I have CTS and my instructor flies through his material. I have to write really big to get it all done and then on the weekend spend 20 minutes at a time rewriting them.

6. LPN's get sued more than RN's?

   sdg replied to michelle95's topic in LPN/LVN

   I don't know the answer to that, but the only thing I can think of is that it might have to do with the limited scope of practice. Maybe there have been issues with LPNs going outside of that???

    sdg replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in General Students

    That isn't the reason that I don't qualify. I was involved in dual enrollment when I was in high school. My mother said she withdrew me from two classes; the school said that she didn't. So I have two Fs on my transcript that factor into my GPA.

    I am lucky that I don't have childcare costs to cover, but I am not married and don't live with parents (haven't since I was 16). Therefore I only have one paycheck to pay all of my bills. My EFC this year was $7500. I can't get loans either. So ...

    sdg replied to a_clay's topic in General Nursing

    I have only looked at my local university and the University of Phoenix's programs. Both would take approximately 3 semesters if you went full time. Since ADN programs don't require some of the same pre-reqs though you might have to take some addit...
