    mashelle13 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hey guys, Has anyone pursued another degree after getting their nursing license? I'm 2 pre-reqs shy of an ADN program BUT, they're either suspended or on hold here. In the mean time, I really want...

    Has anyone here handled both school and kids?

    mashelle13 replied to queenofthenile's topic in General Students

    100% agree. It takes you away from the things you love the most, but the sacrifice is worth

    Has anyone here handled both school and kids?

    mashelle13 replied to queenofthenile's topic in General Students

    I did it with a husband, an 8 yr old & TWINS. You have to ask yourself if you can handle having nursing school as a priority cause it is a commitment. The people that got pregnant or had kids...

    Your most embarrassing experience with a patient

    mashelle13 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Was in the middle of a chaotic admission (kids had to put parents in LTC). It was so uncomfortable in the room you could cut the tension with a knife, so I cut the cheese. Everyone's crying, including...

    Don't think I'm cut out for LTC facilities. Where else can I work?

    mashelle13 replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I did LTC for a hot minute and hated it. Now I'm doing home health and it's been pretty ideal. Granted, a lot of skills are never used (it's really a highly paid baby sitting position), but at least...

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    mashelle13 replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I live in an area that more than one nursing program was audited and put on hiatus due to low passing rates. True, instructors do have rights to do things as they see fit, but eventually every...

    Failed my 1st Fundamentals Exam

    mashelle13 replied to Fever4RN's topic in General Students

    We always did worse on the first tests. The only people that did great were the cheaters or just the exceptionally smart. Every test is a format that you have to get accustomed to. I always found out...

    Thanks guys! I sent out my resume for a home health agency needing weekend nurses. I'm really networking with fellow classmates. I did put down my last job, so we'll see how it goes. As for school,...
