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 I am not saying everyone. But the majority I have...

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 do understand that med passes are no joke and you ...

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 so no one really gets the care they need. I will ...

I can't even tell y'all how excited I am! I have only ever done LTC and home health and I am so ready to try something else!

Any Jewish nurses out there? I feel I am in the minority lol. But I was just wondering.

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 to do some real soul searching on whether I wanted ...

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 to something new.

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 major hospital is MSN preferred and that seems to be...

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 enough how much people need to examine every detail o...

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 hardest part about leaving. But I just don't see mysel...

Based on some of these posts, namely the one about the broken hip, yes.

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 exaggerating

Currently I a, applying to LVN schools. However it's still in the back of my mind to go to cosmetology school.

what at school did you go to? I only ask because I too am located in TX.

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 do you want them saying "psh you're fine"

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 haha.

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 child abuse IMO. I was injured in a horse back riding ...

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 them.

I am a CNA I can definitely say I am in the minority when it comes to my up bringing and over all goals. I am CNA because (and this may sound bad) I make a fairly comfortable living doing so, and while it is certainly not in anyway an easy job it has...

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 had put a fresh dry one on the patient before bed....

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 of bed. Also there were numerous times I had to mar...

I have to agree with this.

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 will raise my GPA. I also need microbiology as we...
