This is a tough situation to be in! Is there anyway you can get a different PRN job? Maybe even just move floors in your hospital? I, personally, wouldn't have accepted a school nurse job even a year ago b/c of having a little one at home. I took i...

YOu can do it! I went back to school when my children were 4, 2.5 and 4mos. It was hard, and I just went part-time until I actually started nursing school, but it is do-able. I graduated in 2011, and have been an RN for 2 years now. As long as you ha...

Yes, you can, but it is definitely dependant upon where you live. One of my nursing school friends (we got ASN's at a community college) is working in the ER of a major university in Chicago (he did have ER experience in a smaller hospital prior). I ...

You can do a search for a store locator. I'm going to try and get out to one of the stores tomorrow.

Good luck! Keep us posted!

I'm gonna have to try these! I've been through SO many shoes in the 2 years I've been a nurse, and have yet to find a pair that works for my wide, flat, feet!

Have you considered an in-home daycare? They tend to be more flexible with their hours. The regular day cares in my area open at 6am. I bet if you look around, you can find one like that as well.

haha! I thought the same thing! I'd guess she was kicked out of the program. I'm sure she would have been kicked out of the program I was in!

Thanks! Off to read!

Well, some days I make A LOT of phone calls. Other days, just a few. It really varies. Each phone call typically only lasts a few minutes, tho.

What was she thinking?! Can you link that thread? I can't find it. I'm seriously wondering how she would think that was okay.

My PRN commitment at the hospital is 2 days/month. My unit there is always short from 3-7pm, so I will pick that up on a SAT, and that is enough to satisfy my NM. I also pick up days during spring/Xmas/fall break to avoid working 6 days/week when I c...

We cant' answer this question. Only you and your husband know what is best for your child/family. My kids have primarily had grandma watch them over the years. In March of this year, I accepted a MON-FRI job and had to put my youngest in day care 2 d...

You can do it! I started my pre-req's for nursing when I was 28. I went back to school with a 3 year old, a 2 year old and a 4 month old. It was tough, and I just went part-time until I started nursing classes. I graduated at 31, and have been a nurs...

Things have been so crazy for me, since school let out, that I've barely been able to pop in and read! School let out, so I'm working PRN at my hospital job. My niece got married on SAT and the reception was in my back yard. DH's g'pa died, so there ...

I'm in Indiana as well. I didn't do the PVT in 2011 when I tested. But I took my test at 8am, and by 6pm my license number was up :) Good luck!

So, I had a kiddo take a hard fall at recess las week. Overall, okay, but had several abrasions that included a pretty nasty gash to his knee. No stitches needed. I saw him in the office this week and popped my head to ask him how he is....he says: "...

BAHAHAHAHHAHA! That made my day!!!!

I interviewed with the building principal and the head nurse.

Every other year

I'm hourly, so I only get paid when I'm at school. I did take quite a pay cut tho! It's worth it for the awesome hours/no weekends/no holidays, tho! I work 5days/week, 730-330. I stayed PRN at the hospital for the summer :) Good luck! I've only been...

HUH?! I think I'm jealous that you have time in your life to "hate" something like this. I've never given even a 2nd thought to a nurse who told me he/she wanted to pursue an MD, NP, or any other higher education. I have far more important things in ...

18 for me! Our district gets out early, but comes back early (8/12). I'm SO ready for lazy mornings!!

Just this week, my school had a child (with an IEP and several diagnoses) receive an in school suspension for being violent. After his suspension ended, there was another violent incident, and he has now lost his recess for the rest of the year. He i...

NO clue about California unemployment. I would think the 1 month off wouldn't be time to get it, if the way things are done here is any indication. On that note, I'm an hourly employee at my school, and I only get paid for the 183 days I work. I rema...
