Hello all... I am wondering does anyone get regular massage to help combat back pain? And if so how often. I am not a gym nut, but I did not have back problems till I started this. I was the secretary at first answering call lights and the phone. I had no idea what nurses and aids actually endure till I came from behind the desk. They made it look so easy.

thank you!!!

thank you for the insight...and your story is definitely motivation

I encourage anyone in school to keep going please keep going!!!! I have worked 17 years at the hospital the last 10 years as a secretary...And guess what my pay as a secretary has maxed out at 16.50...I am blessed to have a job!!!!! But I was not ready for this...When I first got my job at the hospital I was uber excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hospital around where I live has always been so hard to get into..I started in the kitchen became an patient Escort....Then I became a secretary for the last 10 years...Got my annual evaluation it was good so i was expecting to see a raise on my next pay....NO RAISE....I thought there was a mistake the paperwork wsa backed up or something...I called HR they told me I had maxed out....AHHHH COME AGAIN.....I still have like 20 working years left....I always knew that I didnt make alot of money but I maintained didnt live beyond my means...But that hit me like a ton of bricks this is what they call a dead end job....nO ADVANCEMENT....NO RAISES NO PROMOTION NADDA!!!! in a matter of speaking this is it!!!!So you mean to tell me that for the next 20 years unitl i retire that is all i will make!!!!! WHAT!!!! i DONT HAVE A CHOICE I AM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!! And get my RN. How do you guys juggle work and schhol???

Hello fellow nursing students... Yes I have a question about time management...Now I have seen co-workers work and go to school...I have worked in the hospital 17 years I have been a secretary the last 10 years on the floor of a med surg unit...I work 3 12 hour nights there is plenty of downtime for me to study I mean plenty....For instance if there are no patients to be admitted I just answer the call bell and telephone...I have a 15 year old and a 3 year old...i see people work at night and go to school in the morning some go to clinicals..some have children some don't...But I am just really wondering is it humanly possible to work 36 hrs a week and take a few classes....How is the time managed with out being tired....And as a side note I took an online class before it does have its advantages...but You must be disciplined and I think the work is more intense alot of writing (typing)...So can someone give me an example of there day if you have ever worked and went to school...And how you managed to finish....Thank you for all responses
