agh..sounds awful awful awful..good luck.

This is why..in that big field of healthcare, I like per diem work. They only kind of contract I will sign in homecare is, " I will not work for myself and take your clients"..That is understandable..anything else, I wont sign.

A basic Nursing Program is a ADNU or a BSRN..? I mean wouldn't your experience pretty much dictate what your specialty is going to be after you graduate. Other than that it would be furthering your studies..to somthing more specific..??..hmm...

I haven't started my Nursing classes yet. I'm still getting a few of my core classes done and taking pre reqs. Is it like super hard?

Aren't most hospitals or facilities for profit though? Hospitals, Nursing homes, etc..

I recognise some of the places that you say will hire right off the bat and have funky ratio's. I will say this..when the employee turn over is rediculously high..you say to yoursef is it newbee's who said.."this stinks" or is it the place or..hmmm.....

Well than I say just erase the bad experience from your cranium, learn from it. Good luck to you, I know it is not always easy to find a good fit in the healthcare field and ya just have to go thru the motions until you come upon a place and it feels...

Uhm..if I can venture the question..and it is none of my business, is the reason terribly bad? I mean if you still hold your licence it could not of been horrifying..hmm..I would if I where you and trying to get a new job, be honest with the intervie...

I find that you kind of have to go with the flow of homecare nursing. Sometimes they cancel, Sometimes they go into the hospital, sometimes they simply don't want you to drive in really nasty weather. It depends on alot of things. On a normal day thi...

I try to exercise at least 2x's a week..I don't always get to do my 3 mile walk/run depending if I am going to the gym(run on treadmill) or outside track (walk). I think it depends on your schedual..exericise does help if you can fit it into work/ sc...

This is kind of cool. If upon gradution, I am a nursing student, I decided I wanted to work in another country how would I go about doing that? Also, would I have to work in the United States for a year first?

It is so true about acute care..age doesn't necessarilly matter..it's stamina..there is alot of heavy lifting..and you really must love the work because I tell you, I work 3 ..8 hour shifts in acute/ long term care setting and I break up the rest of ...

Go for it. It can't hurt anything. I think whenever returning back to college for something there are things to consider..like upon completion ..how many years are you going to have to offer that field. I mean if your in your 50's well..it would depe...

I make 11.85 on weekdays and 12.48 on weekends..after loosing a 1.00 an hour after going on with an injury for 10 weeks. Here is how I feel about Healthcare. You have to have a genuine desire and love of the business otherwise you will never ever mak...

The conversation is rather silly. If you don't have a licence to do it than your not it. So it goes..."whatever makes you feel better dear" just don't try to give any one medicine, a shot, etc etc..lol

lol..that was a guesse..thanxs..

Ulcers/ Rentadine?

I have learned to not be a "perfect monster" while juggling, because well you can't..it's tough.

Try running or yoga when stressed out. Healthcare can be stressful..I myself prefer the natural way of blowing off steam. When you are expected to have such broad shoulders in healthcare..well it can be tough to remain calm and cool and rational..ble...

..I have to say I sympathise with you because I have been in healthcare for not quite 2 years and sometimes you don't know if you are going to fit in certain environments..facilities are diff..homecare agencies are diff..finding your nitch or match.....

If you still have your licence than you were not fired for anything "major"..it had to be like a personal conflict or something else. Why would your career be ruined..you where let go from one facility .. so, learn from it and move on with a differen...

I transferred from a 2 year community college after a bit of a break from school and I have to re-take the math portion of the test because it has been years since I even looked at math. Which is why moving foward, I pay attention to what and when yo...

Bi-Polar disorder/Prozac?..hmm what else?

I find it funny that people are so defensive about what they are called. I am a CNA who is aspiring to be a nurse. No one ever refers to me not do I refer to myself as a Nurse with my per diem clients or my nursing home job. In fact, I would be in de...

..bedpan, conversation, attorney, plumber...all in the same sentence in regards to career choice leaves room for many many funny jokes..lol.. "some lil c.n.a/ nursing student"..lol..
