WOW, Honestly this helped me so much thank you!!! God Bless. I'm going to keep this in mind forever for my whole nursing career aha.

Hi, so I'm a new grad nurse working for a convalescent home and I was wondering what are some good tips to get everything done with meds/charting as quickly and efficient as possible. I have up to 40 residents a day. I noticed that all nurses usually stay past their shift for maybe an hour or 2 before going home or is this just common for most nurses?

I don't plan on defering my loan payments just because, I don't like the feeling of being in debt any further. Yeah, I'm planning on selling my truck now for a used small car such as a little Mazda Miata aha. If everything goes out as planned, within 3 years or so I would be debt free off student loans and saved up enough money to go back to school. Maybe, I'm just doubting myself and I feel like I'm rushing myself to pursue my dreams to become an RN because, I know people who become to comfortable staying as an LVN. I think with enough composure, I can get through this.

I have to commute 18 miles a day with heavy traffic living in LA of California. The fact I'm only getting like 16 mpg in my truck is a pain and frequently have to refill in gas. I'm leaning towards getting a better car but, at the same time I'm scared that if I don't go back to school to RN ASAP, I would lose my drive to start again.

Hello, I'm a new grad LVN in debt for $17k of loans. I'm driving a beat up, gas guzzler, truck with problems and I want to get a smaller, reliable car to commute to work. However, at the same time I want to pay off my loans and go back to school to pursue to RN as soon as I can. What is the best thing I should do to get things straight in my life?
