To everyone, thank you for your kind support and advice it means alot. Good luck to you all :) I can't even explain in words how much peace I've felt these past few weeks.

I had enough in the nursing field. With the economy being the way it is, it's very difficult to find a hospital/med surge position without any hospital experience. Sooo I worked at a nursing home for 2 and a half years. The first place I worked at ...

If I have to live with a few hundred dollars less a month then so be it, it's like paying for something like saying "here help me." I want to get into massage therapy and work on my own. I really think I'm done with nursing, it's a shame how much c...

Stay at home mom:)

Very true...or more :) I plan on working my way up. :) Thanks.

I'll keep an eye open...but for now nursing is out :)

I'm reviewing, could someone please explain what they mean by the larger the gauge the smaller the diameter? Thanks. ?

The more solutes(i.e more concentrated) the higher the number, or gravity number? Could someone please help me understand this. The norm is 1.010 I believe? How does this apply to Diabetes Insipidus, I'm having a problem understanding, thank you.

I have anxiety and take xanax when needed only under very stressful circumstances...if I don't my performance suffers due to increased heart rate, being all diaphoretic etc. This job is very stressful and I think that if you feel the need for someth...

Please I am so nervous and ready for bed in an hour...if I can get these down packed with confidence i'd be able to sleep soundly...what do these interviewers want to here. Tell me about yourself. 2. What led to your interest in nursing? 3. Describ...

Yes I guess it is a good sign...I will be there for 8 and a half hours though...I'm wondering what the heck I'll be asked or what this 2nd interview will entail. yhan they asked me about how I dealt with a conflict of some kind with a co worker and h...

Well I got a second interview is that a good sign?

I just wanted some insight I wasn't going to write word for word it's been so long since i've studied this and i have no experience, i just wanted to hear what other people had to say and perhaps put in into my OWN perspective :) this is what i real...

Hello, I have an interview at a psych hospital on Wednesday for the job I've always wanted since graduation. I applied persistently but most hospitals wanted some kind of experience. I have 2 years experience working with the elderly and many of th...

Get a lawyer a good one that specializes in these cases...your not guilty and they can prove it.

Start by getting some inclex books just to get youself familiar with what the whole program is getting you ready for. If you need help in a certain area, such as I did with chemistry take full advantage of the tutoring program. Read books that are ...

I just got off orientation and was on my own for only one night. At one time, they called me off due to "over staffing." Well I was a float nurse and they just put me where ever they needed me and I did not get paid extra money for this. Anyways t...

Calitor3 your right, I was thinking the same thing I'm not even going to bring it up...just worried that they'll call for some sort of reference but I was on orientation the whole time....like I said got sent home not called off that one time...and t...

That's not true, the pay is very reasonable.

do u think me not giving a two weeks notice considering my circumstances would interfere with me getting this job?

I've gotten hired at two nursing homes without problem, the job that i wanted most finally called me about the criminal backround check(i was hired she said until of course the backround check went thru) so the whole time i'm thinking yay i got the j...

That was not my question or concern about knowing that it "may" show up. Your answer is way off topic, I thought we had to stick to the "topic" of the thread on this site...I'm so sick of getting comments from people like I'm a child, of course I tho...

Altra If I had ever been arrested, I'm sure I would remember it, and would always consider the possibility that something related to that is going to turn up somewhere, some wa I didn't say that I didn't remember it and the possibility of it not show...

Is there many IV's to run in LTC? What is the usual? Normal saline, antibiotics? This is a whole new arena for me, I imagine that there wouldn't be many IV's to run on patients... more PO meds. Thanks for any info.

I've been working night shift for a year and a half now and absolutely love it compared to day shift. Virtually all the resident's are tucked away in their beds sleeping. Of course you'll have the occasional ones that get out of bed (I work in a nu...
