23! I had my first baby at 23 and my 2nd at 24! All my years in healthcare (since age 25) I finally decided to get some type of formal training at the age of 41...I graduated May 2013 as a medical assistant. Turned 43 July 25th and will begin school for LPN October 2nd and in 2 yrs I will be a nurse. The funny thing is I thought I was too old until I realized that I still have 20+ years fo work before I can even thimk about retiring O_o! Good luck little girl :-D :-D

I am one of those that rolled my ankle and broke my foot in my Danskos but I still love them ♡♡

Ha!!! If you make mention of "union" automatic termination :'(

@jadelpn all the above has been done and unfortunately nothing changed except her "being quiet". Shes even rude and obnoxious to her patients. The MA underneath her is running around telling patients shes a doctor or telling them shes a nurse. She even had a doctor (from another hospital fooled) thinking she was a doctor. Its a hellish and toxic place to work. Ive been there 8 years and every year I pen a new novel! LOL! I found out today that the particular facility where I work has a known history of this "sweep it under the rug: behavior. My reply was im sure and I know this stuff goes on in corporate America on a daily but geesh!! The person I was speaking with simply said, "yes, but nothing like what goes on here" this came from someone in administration....such a shame. Thanks for all the replies...I keep my mouth shut and my nose clean and strive for the light at the end of the tunnel! ♡♡

This clearly more than attitude. Her bad attitude does not justify her to call people out of their name.....

There's an RN where I work who has been "talked to" about her behavior with other staff and patients. Her behavior is unacceptable, unethical, and just plain disgusting. Shes a bully and has created such a hostile work environment, that on Sundays im depressed because I have to go in there the next day. She has lashed out to everyone in the clinic even to the point of calling one girl an idiot in front of patients. Shes told people that this girl is too stupid to be alive. The madness doesn't stop with her..the person in charge doesn't do anything. This has gone as far as the president of the hospital and still nothing. She has been quiet lately but I just dont understand how tbis type of thing goes on. Everyone thats works there is miserable. The description "hostile work environment" is heard on a daily. There's also a medical assistant there that lies and causes havoc every chance she get and still the person in charge does NOTHING! Without going into too much detail because it will take 2 days to write, can someone please advise. Any and all responses are appreciated. Thanks

Thats a great idea!!! Ordering NOW!!! Lol!

Omg!!! These are great!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you all!!!!! Im studying my butt off now and getting help from the np I work with. I hope ill be ok by October :-D

@esme12 thank you thank you!!!!!! Ill keep everyone posted :-D

@aspiringtobegreat I wish you all the best. You will be great!!!! I will buckle down and do this....we're going to just fine....im too stubborn to fail ;-)

I havent started school yet but im scared out of my skin of math :'(. When I went to high school, algebra and all that good stuff was not required to graduate. I skated through all four years and my one year of community college in general math. I went to business school and didnt have any math...ive been in healthcare for 20+ years (mainly billing and coding) and just completed an MA program in November 2012. What in the hee haw am I facing in my lpn course? Should I go for tutori g NOW since I dont start school until October? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated:-D

Yes!!!!! We both know the devil is a LIE!!! By the way, where r u going to school?

Your kids is your first chunk of motivation.....the rest of it will come from the nay sayers and your breakup....one monkey dont stop the show....im turning 43 in 3 months and I have a full time job a needy husband, elderly parents, 2 kids (sophmore in colleger and sr in high school) but im doing it. I dont start my program until october, but I will finish and move on to my rn. Dont punk out on reaching your dreams. There are some people that have it waaaaaay worse than we do and they do very well....pinky promise me that you will step out of your scared **** bubble and own your dreams:-D. Good luck and best wishes to you♥

Ignore is the key...just do your best to outshine them.....the old saying misery loves company is the truth. When I was in school for medical assistant I went through the same thing. Just ignore them and keep you head high!!!
