Sorry to hijack this thread, but Wildbriar, are you the same Erin who wrote a book about hospice nursing two years ago? If so, I just wanted to let you know I loved it! I've been seriously thinking of becoming a hospice nurse and your book was a factor in that, so...thank you! Melody

Thanks, everybody. You're right...practice, practice, practice. RNsRWE, you make a good point. I had a head-slap moment there! Of course everyone was where I am now.

I sure hope this doesn't sound as stupid to you as it sounds to me. I am currently getting my MA in Health Studies to be a health educator. I'd like to get at least my LPN also. The thing holding me back? I'm afraid to jab people. Let me be clear: I'm not squeamish or afraid of needles. I'm afraid of having to try several times to put in that poor man's catheter or jab that poor lady 5 times to draw blood. See, told you it was a stupid fear. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you get over it? Thank you!

Yes, please let us know. I'm thinking about getting my RRT and I live in Denver. Thanks!

So, do the places that use do-not-hire lists give you two weeks' notice if they're going to fire you?
