this is a great post and I love all of the responses! this used to me! I finally took sometime to be very comfortable with who I am and have confidence that I have have researched what it is that I am speaking on and I know the in's and out's of the topic. once I became comfortable with who I am and what message it was that I was delivering I loved public speaking in every aspect of it.

CONGRATS!!! good luck to you I know you are very excited!

I am just wondering how long some of us have been in the feild? this includes nurses...were you an aide before you went to nursing school? and do you feel it is a need to become an aide first before you move on to the next "phase" of nursing?

it is great to hear a heartfelt thank you!! sometimes its the little things that keep you going. make sure you tell your aides thank you each and everyday, it really makes them strive to be the best they can be

hello I have been an STNA for the past 8 years an I am now making around 15 and hour but back in the day when I started it was 8/hour (talk about a overworked and underpaid haha) but a lot of places go based on your expeirience. its hard to tell but if you are in a bigger city of course you are going to make more but I think the average is somewhere around10-12 range

I love this post...I preently work in long term care and I get so frustrated when I try so hard to make my patients as comfortable as possible when everyone else around me just seems to do the bare minimum. I just cant understand people today and why they cant see the job as more than a job but as a service for people that have worked hard all of their life and in the end they do deserve the very best that we can provide.

lol these are all very good haha makes me feel like I am right back at work!! i once had a gentleman ring his bell because he wanted to make sure it worked...and then I also had a lady that would hit the call light just to see how fast we could get to her talk about frustration

very good input from everyone kind of somewhat on the same topic... nurses that are travelers...how are they treated in facilities...I have often thought about doing it but in the same breath I wouldnt like to be treated differently due to being a traveler. what do you all think?

well I will answer one of the topics...the pay depending on where you are located (I cant speak for the akron area) but here in Columbus a lot of places pay based on expierience. around here it is generally in the 10.00-12.00 range

Hello there I was wondering if anyone has taken or is in the program at North Adult. If so how long it took to actually get into the program. my plan is to go there for the LPN and then on to an LPN -> RN Program as if to do it in phases. let me know what to expect from this program if you can. thanks for any feedback......R:monkeydance:

It is sad but many of people today still believe in ways that homosexuality is a sin, and yes (not to toss out religion) but the bible does say that man shall not lay with another man, but in the same breath it also says thou shall not steal, fornicate, drink to get drunk (you get my point) a sin is a sin and too many believe that homosexuality is the worst (I am a gay male as well) and I think that times are changing and too many folks are not ready to adapt to the changing times.
