  1. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do realize that which is why I don't understand why an RN would want to that job. I love direct patient care. And yes we do have RNs that will leave their office and come help if we ask. Like I said...

  2. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's great that you found one like that. I am just saying what I have experienced and I was finally done with it. And no they aren't what they should be and I truly loved the residents I had. And I...

  3. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh I know they are everywhere. But from what I have seen they are mainly in LTC. I don't understand why any RN would want to work in one of those places. All of them are awful with high patient ratios...

  6. Decided this wasn't for me

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe not in your neck of the woods. But from what I understand everything is so competitive a B can get you on the waiting list. And I had taken my prerequisites 5 years ago in another state. I had...

  7. Decided this wasn't for me

    Cora_Ann posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in either LTC, day cares or home health since I was 16 (now 23) I was planning on applying to a few LVN programs, but came to the realization this isn't for me and I am ready to move on...

  8. Decided this wasn't for me

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be so sure that nursing will guarantee you job security either. The nursing field has become very saturated and there is an inflation when it comes to degrees. In my area, San Antonio, a...

    http://www.solutionsoutsidethebox.net/documents/Quotes/RT_WVCC_NLN.pdf I don't know if this answers your questions but this was a program I was enrolled in and later dropped out of. I can't stress...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in General Nursing

    i'm going to cosmetology school. I always wanted to and I am going to continue working in home health while going to school. I have become VERY attached to some of my clients and that will be the...

    Cora_Ann replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    So does a broken bone or a concussion count? Will it be ok if all your symptoms are ignored unless the someone decides you aren't

  14. if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    Cora_Ann replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    Cora_Ann replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Also keep in mind your kids will take care of you when your old, if you're in pain/ill do you want them brushing it off and saying "oh mom get over it?" What if you fall when you' re in your 80's-90's...

  17. Any Jewish nurses?

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I work in home health and packing matzoh for lunch everyday during Passover always gets old after like 3 days! I really take going through the drive thru or subway for granted

    Cora_Ann replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    As a former daycare worker and teachers aid for 1st-2nd parents who push their children to go to school while they don't feel well are hated. And making a child run on a broken hip is border line...

    Cora_Ann replied to Shortstop5's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am interested in Hallmark as well. And if you google them they are not for profit, however only initial approval makes me wary of

    Cora_Ann replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a home health aide and I have recently started caring for a patient over night and I am wondering if anyone has every dealt with depends leaking. The other night there was urine everywhere and I...

  22. What I Wish I Could Say to My Residents and Their Families

    Cora_Ann replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't think any of this is funny. 1: Not all families have the time or means to care for a loved one at home 2: My grandmother died at a nursing home because some lazy CNA allowed her to fall out...

    Cora_Ann replied to elle333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same boat as you are GPA wise. My GPA is a 2.5, which is the minimum required for an RN program where I would like to apply. I plan to take a refresher course for A&P so hopefully that...
