  1. CNA reg/info tomarrow

  2. i originally put this in the texas area, but i guess it isn't all that "texas specific", so i figure i'll try it here instead. (sorry moderators). anyway..... alright, here's the deal: i'm...
  3. My "crazy" plan - ANY thoughts are appreciated!!

    Thank you so much for the kind words!! I've got some more research ahead of me, but I truly think I'm on to something here. Anyway, it's awesome that someone else thinks I'm on the right track....
  4. My "crazy" plan - ANY thoughts are appreciated!!

    That is EXACTLY what I was planning on doing!! I'm thinking I'll save a few bucks, scoop up a trailer or RV, and be done with it - for a while. (Debt - free!!...oooh yeah!!) The only reason I moved...

  6. My "crazy" plan - ANY thoughts are appreciated!!

    Thanks for the reply. I'm all over getting in there and taking classes, but if I don't take scheduling conflicts into consideration now, I'm afraid my lack of preparation will cause some serious...
  7. My "crazy" plan....ANY thoughts are appreciated!

    How do ya like the "living in a trailer" idea?? (I think I'm pretty clever)
  8. My "crazy" plan....ANY thoughts are appreciated!

    Yeah, I'm not worried about doing both per se, I'm worried about having to choose one over the other - like on the spot, ya know? I'm going to have to see what I can do, I'd rather get my ADN before I...
  9. My "crazy" plan - ANY thoughts are appreciated!!

    Thanks Kat!! I'm thinkin' if I can avoid paying rent by buying a trailer to live in, I'll be able to worry more about school and less about making money. I'll be a CNA by the end of this year, and I'm...
  10. My "crazy" plan....ANY thoughts are appreciated!

    Thanks for the idea. I considered doing that, but I think that puts me in a weird spot later. (Kinda hard to explain, I guess). Anyway, payin' the rent is always a pain, so I figure getting rid of...

    AWESOME. Simple, yet effective. I like it. A lot. Thank you, and I hope you don't mind me using the quote in my
  12. Advise for dealing with coworker

    Reminds me a bit of myself. I didn't "whine" (any more than everyone else :chuckle), but I got angry very easily. I didn't snap on people or anything, I just continued to internalize all of my...
  13. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Pin the watch to my uniform??........Sounds like a pretty good idea. I recently bought a watch for my CNA course (pre-req here) and decided to opt for a fabric band as opposed to metal to avoid...
  14. Males as Nurses

    Seriously though, I think I'll look REAL sexy once my scrubs are broken in a bit. The new ones just don't have the right fit or something.....ya know? As for men in nursing.............I work in a...
  15. Males as Nurses

    THAT IS A HORRIBLY OBJECTIVE AND SEXIST COMMENT, AND WILL BE REPORTED TO THE MODERATORS IMMEDIATELY. :angryfire
  16. RN work schedules, I'm confused

    The 12 hour shifts I used to work (not in nursing) were: Every Sun., Mon., Tue., every other Sat. Maybe this is a similar situation. I have to agree with the previous poster, though - checking into...
  17. Anyone thinking about med-school?

    There's a very similar thread going on that may provide some answers to your query. Med school thread I say do what you think will make you happiest in the long run. That's something you'll...
  18. I think i' losing my mind

    I agree with Tweety...........go for the LPN!!!!!! You will ATLEAST be in a better position to go for RN later. (LPN-RN program) If you can walk right into a RN program, then go for that. Otherwise,...
  19. Has anyone ever seen a prolapsed rectum?

    I've seen that before, but..... :barf01: ...That is pretty extreme. (thanks for the link :chuckle ) That is not what it would typically look like, right?? BTW, you guys probably want to stay away from...
  20. What is your background ?

    Dropped out of high school in the 9th grade, sold marijuana for a few years. Did a lot of things that I'm not particularly proud of, let's just leave that as that. Started realizing I was a loser...
  21. Engraving Stethoscopes

    On second thought, why not just go out and buy one of them engraving tools - that way, you could engrave whatever you need to. (Anything not nailed down:chuckle ) Something like.........

    I think you can get your initials put on there for around ten bucks, which is Much cheaper than replacing tools all the time. There are a bunch of threads here on the subject, so a search may help you...

  25. Family objections to your career

    Yep. Mom is proud of me, dad - probably not so much. He just keeps on about where I'm getting the money, how much I'm saving, etc. He is a p***k, and loves to see me fail. (I won't, and I won't be...
