  11. Flunked!!!

    Can she try the RN program at the technical college? I'm from Memphis, but I haven't lived there in a long time. A lot of my friends went to UT back when they had a BSN program, but I believe that's a...

    To the OP...I can relate...I have had to miss on several occasions because my toddler has been sick a lot too thanks to daycare. I'm so lucky to have a supervisor that is understanding and supportive....
  13. What is your job?

  15. When do you say enough is enough?

    My goodness, I am probably NOT the person to offer advice. I worked LTC for a total of 6 weeks, it just wasn't for me. I currently work at a county jail and I LOVE it in comparison. If you do not feel...

  21. Corrections Nurses: Have You Been Hit Like This?

    I've never been physically assaulted. We have a T.A.C.T. team that would be on that behavior faster than you can say
  22. What's it like to work in a prison for women?

    I totally agree. I also work in a county jail and our stats are very similar. The women are the worst
  23. afraid of losing my liscense

  24. Why LPN??

    Hey Suzy, I think the horse was dead 20 years ago! 3 is NOTHING in this case. Your posts have a condescending tone to them I feel. I wonder if the responses you received 3 years ago gave you ANY...
