There is a woman in my class that has been out of school for more than 20 years and she is now getting back to it. So don't feel discouraged! She's doing very well with a full time job and with small grandchildren

Yes, the gen eds are 7 weeks too. But each semester only has like 1 or 2 gen eds. They don't have a large selection. I haven't taken any gen eds yet but from the looks of my academic audit, I need 2 or 3 courses so about 6 or 9 credits

You guys all make me feel so much better! Sometimes I feel like I'm a bad nurse. But it just seems like higher authority figures are just setting me up to mess up and not succeed.

She said she hasn't been a working RN in a longtime. I doubt shes worked there and shes definitely never worked there from 3 to 11 with the residents I have now.

Thanks everyone! Yes I'm going to be putting in applications. We've talked to our manager many times about adding at least one more aid in our shift but it doesn't seem like that's happening. Last night I had a fall and also a resident with Parkinson...
