Follow your dreams.... He examined you for five minutes and made that assumption. Leave the opinions to your primary doc... Or even a specialist. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Love this comparison!!

When you pray the two cars in front of you don't get into an accident because you're too tired to stop and play Good Samaritan.

Took the same course as you, except I work per diem for hospice. There is such a difference in feel from cardiac nursing to hospice, love it! Good luck with your new career choice!

Can't agree more, higher education should never be looked down upon.

Lol!! Love it!

Hi pandora!! The book in stats was not helpful... At all... In my opinion. I survived that class by using google, a lot of times you could get more help that way. I can't remember who taught the class but he was pretty good about helping, I think h...

Hi tokmom!! I figured out how to clear my inbox and I'm ready to go!! Lol!! I'm officially lovinlife11 RN, BSN, woot toot! So excited!! I can't tell you about the last class yet. Just get through these next classes and then i will tell you about it...

I feel your pain, applied for the fnp program and they don't even start looking at applications until July. Tortuous wait. I keep my mind active with work and hobbies, almost to the point I'm creating hobbies... Lol. Good luck to you!

Do u have continuous care available? Maybe someone to find out what works for him and educate the wife a bit? I like the idea of subcutaneous pca for pain too, maybe better absorption for him, it's too bad the wife is not on board. Let us know how it...

Take the icu job if it is offered, put all your effort into that because it will be a learning curve. Good luck!

Awesome work! Glad you were able to finally get the patients the care they deserve!

I'm confused, if the patient contracted mrsa in the facility, why is the patient getting billed? I thought the facility absorbed the expense, after all it's not the patients fault.

I admire your desire to better your life. You truly are an inspiration. Best of luck in your endeavors and I have no doubt good things are coming your way!

Show your kiddos what you're made of and how to overcome adversity! This is your time to shine, I'm confident you can do it. It's not an easy road to travel but the rewards are well worth it. Best of luck to you, don't lose sight of your dreams!

I admire your ambition at such a young age! It's hard to know what you want to do with the rest of your life. Nursing has as many positives as it has negatives, it's all in how you look at it. I touch a lot of lives, I love that. I work in hospice, I...

It will be a learning curve, but I am sure you will be fine. Btw, physicians give orders based on our recommendations....most of the time they give us whatever we think we need... Best of luck to you!

In the interest of not spending a ton, it may be better to just finish your bsn where you are. You will essentially have to start over in a new program. I found the bsn to be chocked full of busy work, but the nature is writing papers, lots of papers...

Db.. I think they are all pretty much the same from what I have seen. Endless hours of paper writing mixed with discussion questions.

Capstone.... There is no preparation. 15 sources at the minimum. Somedays I feel like it will end up being 100 pages. No other classes really stressed me out, this class stresses me. Keep it in the back of ur mind, it's doable but a LOT of work. Glad...

In my last class right now mom. Oh boy, it's a lot of work. How are you holding up mom?

Awesome news!! Sometimes a change of pace is all we need! Hope it all works out for you!

I felt the same way prior to going into nursing. I went on to become a hospice nurse and while I still tear up at times when someone passes (I'm still human) it has become quite an honor and privilege to share the moments with a patient and their fam...

Sounds like you had a stressful day. And a manager who is less than understanding. Sometimes it's better to move on. Good luck to you!!

Hmmm... How does this relate to nursing??
