I have gradually made my way through the nursing stepping stones. As a CNA for many years, then a LPN, and now a BSN. It took me 32 years to do this working full time and raising a family. I'm a clinical instructor in a two year program, work weekend...

When I was in my BSN program which I would not recommend to anyone, My tears came from anger. Anger do to the cheating that was going on under the instructors noses. I still think they knew who and when and they, still passed them. My satisfaction wa...

I have been in the medical field since I was fourteen as a Candy Stripper. Those were the good old days when you did not see the bad parts in nursing. Then I grew up to be a Nurses Aide, not so bad but you could still enjoy your patients and get some...

Trauma Nurse I have been working on my NP in Peds. Had to take a break for Family medical problems. I just think something different after 28 years might work. Believe me I don't get bored. I also transport ground

I know we arre not the only place to do what ever is going on. rumor has it That people can afford to get care anymore and are staying home. I know that the peddies are treating in the office more and more which take from the hosp.

I get out of the shower and use a cotton ball soaked with generic listerine and it has worked now waiting for the regrowth. I thought it was crazy but guess what. We always don't need a RX
