Next time, ask whoever prescribed the drug for you to write a note to the drug tester that you are taking a med that will make the test positive. The prescriber doesn't need to state what drug it is, or, if you want to state what med it is, ask the prescriber to state the drug. Hope it helps.

I always dream to work in a dr.'s office. Easy job and happy hours. You can enjoy life and take care of your own health and your beloved folks'. Hospitals get you burned out! And, your license is always challenged. And, you are prone to violence from patients and their family members.

Just make sure when you're in nursing school, don't think like a doc, think like a nurse. The 2 schools of thought for problem-solving is very different. Otherwise, you'll suffer. just a caution, not an impediment by any means. Best of luck!

What's your goal? Get employed or what?

Seriously, you are not me. You don't know what it's like. You don't. Sorry. Peace be with you. I'm seriously worried. It's not 0 risk. It's still a risk. If you were to be me given all the protection I have applied to myself for all those years, being intact and pristine for all those years, you don't understand. Don't joke, please. Thank you for being so-nice.

It wasn't you. You don't know.

I actually don't have those signs and symptoms by now (Spring 2010). But I have headache and nauseated feelings probably because I was malnourished, sleep-deprived, dehydrated, and traveled on the plane two times. I will got and get tested for sure.

During Fall 2010, I had mild flu-like signs and symptoms: rash, diarrhea, fatigue, tiredness.

What if I'm one of the rare cases? What can I do I'm even contemplating quitting nursing field forever and once by now. I'm so scared!!!!

When I worked as a CNA during summer and fall 2010, I was pricked by a pin on the gift basket of a patient whose HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC status was UNKNOWN. I bled a lot. The RN just gave me a bandage and that was it. I wasn't tested by occupational health or ER for risks of HIV/AIDS, HepB, or HepC after the event. During Fall 2010, I had mild flu-like signs and symptoms: rash, diarrhea, fatigue, tiredness. I'm very worried that I might have contracted HIV/AIDS, HepB, or HepC. If someone else has HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC and was pricked by the pin on the gift basket prior to me, I know that I might have contracted HIV/AIDS, HepB, and/or HepC. I've never been in a relationship or even dating or even been close physically to anyone (never-been-kissed or anything physical either), so there's no way I can contract HIV/AIDS, HepB, or HepC through sexual activities in any forms. I've never used any illicit drugs/herbs of any forms under any circumstances. I've never received blood transfusions. I've never had any injuries. My questions are: 1 - Where can I get myself tested on HIV/AIDS, HepB, or HepC? 1.1 Is there a free and confidential place for these tests? 2 - I quit working at the hospital, I'm just wondering if they are liable for my condition should I contract HIV/AIDS, HepB, and/or HepC from the event? 2.1 If they are liable for my case, what can I do to claim the event? Please help, I'm very panicked right now as I now continually have flashbacks of the incident.

Nursing is like life: if you can't handle its worst, you don't deserve its best. You decide whether its best or its worst that you should be addicted to. You'll be amazed by how big and how small things you do that make your life and people's lives!!!

I'm in my last year of nursing school. I regret wasting my time, money, and effort going to Nursing school. 1 - I didn't know what nursing is 2 - My school didn't have a good curriculum and the coordinated clinical courses. As a result, I didn't know how to apply the knowledge I've learned into real life. 3 - I was callow and gullible: I believe everything bad and good people tell me. Worst case ever! 4 - The reason I decided to go to nursing school was to get a job easily. It's not even true in this economy anymore. 5 - I thought nursing was easy. 6 - My classmates are not friends Now, I'm looking back at my life wasted in nursing school because I didn't study hard. I felt angry at myself. I'm saddened and angry at myself. I'm jealous of people who have studied hard. I plan to spend my winter break studying Med-Surg, Pharm, and Path again all by myself. This time, I'll learn everything for me and because of me. Even if I can't find a job, I'll be glad that I have adequate Nursing knowledge. Even if I end up being something else than being a nurse, I won't regret equip myself with adequate knowledge. I know it's already very late. Still, better now than never. I hope I'll do OK for my practicum. When I'm done with school and if I can't find a job, I'll be still glad that I did my best in school even tho I may not do Nursing for my whole life due to the poor prospect of job as of now. I want to be RN licensed and put that on the epitaph of my tomb.
