    Certifications

    Thank you. I guess I was thinking peds hem/onc. I had it typed but then completely retyped what I had. But I'm sure regardless they would both have ortho issues. I have spent the money on ACLS but...

    She did post on the thread & we do have a bit in common. I think my one BIG worry is my epilepsy. I know right now it isn't feasible for me to go to school & I'll have to put it off for...

    Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

    This is all so messed up. I echo what everyone has said, call your malpractice insurance & get another job. Someone wants you gone & they are trying hard to do it. I'm sorry you're going...

    LVN in TX. I did sick call, helped the doctor/NP/PA & passed meds. Pay varies between $18-$22/hr. I worked at a state prison, county jail & a detention

    Failed one semester-want to go back

    I wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize my marriage. If your life can't handle nursing school right now then I would put it off for awhile. I would look at what went wrong last time, have a talk...
