What a hoot!!! Potsy is a great choice....Richie is too busy directing films.

Some of my Co-workers and I were confused and upset when we learned Hospice had instructed staff not to feed a resident with end stage COPD so as not to prolong his life. This was his last two days. I wasn't working at the time, but this has haunte...

No-I said I "learned" that the hospice nurse had instructed the staff. I did not hear this first hand, but it was charted and reported off to me by the off going nurse. Appparently it had been discussed with family and they were in agreement. My un...

We take care of these things in my facility. If a treatment needs started for a bad skin tear etc that would qualify as skilled we call in the Hospice nurse, but still do initial care and prn. We do however inform Hospice of any changes ie falls, e...

Northwest State Community College,Archbold, Ohio has a good record. I also hear Owen & MUO in Toledo are good. Athens has one too.

Oops! Sorry that chuckle wasn't suppose to be in the first line after hear. I'm not real good at using the symbols yet? : )

Hang in there! In many ways this is the toughest part of nursing school...... waiting to hear :chuckle if you passed.....and I'm sure you did. I thought the fewer questions you answered, the better you did. Anyone know about that? I took my board...

I think there is often a feeling "I'm not prepared" as graduation draws close. But your situation is cause for much concern. You need to talk to the head of your nusing program pronto. Obviously you will never learn everything you need to in schoo...

Wonderful! It is a great feeling! You did it!!!!! Welcome to the world of nursing....with all it's ups and downs it still is a truly great profession.

Hi! If you really want this it can happen. :) The majority of nursing students in my class were Mom's with young children. Your concern is natural and probably felt by most nursing student Mom's. It is a time factor. But, you can do some things ...

Love this one! Our how about "Ask me if I've had time to pee today"!!! :chuckle I agree with majority.....very demeaning. The giant hand is outrageous! Seems more appropriate for preschool. Geez!

There must be one of these in every class! :) How about students who go over the test afterwards with a fine tooth nail ie "What did you put for question number 52?" As for me, I usually didn't remember much more than my name after a long test and ...

Pet Peeves regarding nursing school: Students who ask stupid questions about tests such as "How many questions?", "How many multiple choice?" What does it matter if you know the material? Anyhow one day I raised my hand to ask "What kind of paper ...

My husband works with a fellow who named his son Blade X after a shaving product....this was about 30 years ago. Have a cousin who was in class with a Dick Harry. Teacher always did roll call by stating last name first, then first name.....Harry, Di...

: ) And this is why I stay away from tops that snap up the front!

I agree with you. There is so much tragedy in the Gulf region. Lets not point fingers. Think about it. What could staff members have done to aide their residents? Perhaps if they had a large enough boat and enough staff to transfer residents int...

Wow...I can't imagine. You are to be commended for turning your life around. You are awesome!!!! : )

Hi! You are not alone! I have the same problem working in a 31 bed assisted living (nicer term for long term care : ) ) I work 6a to 6p. Report and narc count usually takes till at least 6:20. I then get my cart loaded: gloves, one touch supplies...

No, you are definately not too old. I was 37 when I started classes. That was nearly 14 years ago. Our class had a mixture of ages from 18 to 55. My daughter is now enrolled in nursing school and finds the age range to be the same. So you go girl...

Here reply was "Why Would You Do Something Like That For?"... :angryfire Boy can I relate. My father said about the same thing. It would be nice if they would suddenly change and become the parents we need, but in most cases they won't. So you g...

I am a survivor of childhood sexual, mental and physical abuse. My father was my abuser. I feel my mother holds as much responsibility as she knew and did nothing. I think in the beginning she tried and he beat her, so she quit trying. I still gri...

Wonderful! Hats off to you! : )

Hi! I'm an LPN in Ohio with 13 years of experience in LTC/Rehab/Assisted Living. Planning to relocate to the Raleigh area (Clayton) in approx. 5 months. Are there many jobs for LPNs in the area? The only postings I've seen are for RN's. I presently...

Kelly, Great! : ) Thanks! Sandi
