   I really hope that this isn't an annoyingly common question! I tried to search, but I couldn't figure out how to. I absolutely hate how this site is set up! (I've used the phone app forever, not acclimating well to using the site!) We are relocating...

3. Need Encouragement as a SNF CNA

   Illuminati replied to Clarifier S'il vous's topic in CNA/MA

   I so feel your pain! I'm a SNA in clinical right now. This is the hardest work I've ever done! Props to CNAs! I don't think it makes you look bad. Go to HR, tell them its not the fit you had hoped for, then tell them about your long term goals with t...

5. Nurse with ADD :(

   Illuminati replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Disabilities

   My story is a lot like yours. I agree, it sucks to need stims. I recommend reading "Driven to distraction", I think you will find great consolation that the majority of adult ADD sufferers struggle with feelings of inadequacy too. It's rough, but I'm...

   Illuminati replied to quazar's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Illuminati replied to abree0323's topic in Oregon

   Thank you so much for your honesty here, I was thinking about doing the LPN program, looking at either Mt. Hood or Sumner. Did you do the LPN or the RN? I'm so sorry you had a bad experience! I'd love details once your account is allowed to PM!

   Illuminati replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Relations

   I had this really difficult resident at an adult foster home I worked for. She had MS, terrible bed sores, cath, needed daily digital manipulation for bowel movemts, etc... She was just bad off. She gave people a horrible time because she was living ...

    Illuminati replied to abree0323's topic in Oregon

    ADev, it won't let me pm you. So curious why the LPN application rate is so low

11. How did you get through nursing school?

    Illuminati replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    I get that... But as someone who struggles like OP with anxiety, studying more helped me so much with confidence, and THAT killed my anxiety. Repetition breeds confidence. Confidence breeds success.

    Illuminati replied to Illuminati's topic in Oregon

    Hey thank you for the feedback. I was trying to decide if I should apply this year, or wait until next time around (and have micro under my belt), and ---------------- said they don't know how many points are competitive yet, so I wanted to know from...

    Does anyone know what a competitive point count is for PCC now that the nursing packet has been updated?

15. Do you stalk anyone here?

    Illuminati replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I stalk a bunch of you guys. Isn't it strange how you can feel close to strangers because of shared ideals, ethics and passions?
