    Sweetie, I have done a TON of research, Julie Fast's program was one of the first things I came across, but if I hadn't I would've kissed your feet for that information. Thanks again Zoe, your a...

    Thank you - in this post, you hit it on the head. My point number 3 of my original post ( lucky I didn't end up on the streets) was because of the times I was 'supposed' to be taking care of the...

    JentheRN05 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Okay - I have hated every job I have had since nursing school. Various reasons, all having to do with my own personal issues. So I realize I have a problem. Well anyway - now I'm at a LTC on my second...

    LPN's just glorified nurse aids in LTC? Huh?

    JentheRN05 replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would but lack of health insurance detours that. I have been on every antidepressant over the last 10 years. The one I'm currently on is the only one that worked. At least until recently. I can't...
