my crazy world

This is so true. I am still in the pre req phase of my nursing career that does not involve caregiving. I have thought about ether corrections/instatutions or staying in LTC. Yes they may lie and you do have diffrent things you have to look out for b...

Wow in a perfect world that is taught in school LTC is a dream job. It's hard feeling like the managment does not respect you as an employee. I am huge on the communication thing and I would talk with my DON. Not complain or talk at he/she but talk w...

Wow that is a hard place. But it can be handled in a positive way. Deffinatly in private of course, maybe their is something going on with the student.... depression, maybe unable to get items needed to handle the sitation. In high school I was in a ...

Hang in there Kdrenee! It will be here before you know it friend.

I my self have no problems when it comes to piercings. I dont have any because I am chicken except for the 4 holes in each ear. I can appreciate them as a for an expression or art, but in a work place not everyone shares my opinion so its best to kee...

That is what I was referring to... i know leave it to us newbies to mess things up lol

Wow what an amazing comment! Very powerful. I know it is not directed at me but so many times I would give anything just to have these words said to me. Thank you.

I dont know what your situation is, but if you are working on the LPN program I would not drop it. With your LPN you could work at least part time as an LPN while you are getting your RN. Plus when you take your NCLEX-PN you will have that experience...

I know I am an odd ball but I am learning to enjoy my pre reqs. I am an older student and its been along time since high school, even in high school I was a crumby student. I am using my pre req time to learn my learning habits and work on skills tha...

Just Breath!! Sending peace and prayers to all of you waiting. I wish there was something I could say to make it easier but we all know until we get that acceptance letter we are on pins and needles. Hang in there people!

Oh hun.. please dont settle. I to have math issues and its ok if math is not our strong point. There are so many resources out there to utilize to learn it. Math is something that you will have to come to terms with. You dont have to be best friends ...

Wow so many choices we have already lol. I am wanting to end up a nurse practitioner in the end of my education and I am 38 and have 2 year before i get in to the RN program with PN option. I dont know what your situation is, but I know for me I am g...

I am 38 and I dont know if I am smart enough to make it. But I am not going to let that hold me back. It has been years since I have been in school, and high school was not my cup of tea.. lemme tell ya. But what I do know is that I am going to give ...

WHOOHOOO Congratulations!!! Happy dances all over the place...

Wow hun slow down. I know you have all the stresses, but if you can, forget about the whole may thing. Wen, you get through this semesters/ quarters classes you know you are going to apply. So dont worry about that part. That may help with the stress...

No plan B here. I have been wanting to do nursing my whole life and tried many other things to be sure. I mean yes there are always other options with schooling but never the career. I am blessed at my school Everyone that meets the requirements, cer...

Even though it may seem compeditive and you may be feeling nervous about the others, you have an oppertunity there for a great support system. You all have that common goal and most likely everyone is feeling exactly the way you are. Who better to ha...

Really what is to old? I dont think that exists anymore. I am 38 and just starting my pre reqs along with a lady who just turned 60 and right where I am. just to get my ADN I am going to be in 42/43 and I am not stopping there. Really hun it is all u...

You are feeling everything that each of us have felt at some point. I wish I could help you with an answer but the only person that can do that is you. I can suggest to talk to nurses, not just the ones in the hospital or the specialization you are l...

My heart goes out to you and I am relieved you are still in the game. I know for my self I have perfectionistic goals for my self and the expectations just to make it in to the program is high already. You have amazing insight in to your self but try...

Thank you for posting this and using your voice. I am sure it has inspired others like it inspired me to speak up. I am to working on my ADN for similar reasons to yours, and personal. I know that nursing school at all levels is a challenge and anywa...
