You know that dust u get in ur car on the dashboard if you havent Armoroiled in awhile? A friend of mine used to run her fingers across it and lick it up while she was pregnant. I stopped riding in the car with her after awhile.

So how did u like Ross Memorial?

I saw it in Cleveland last year....IT'S GREAT!!!! I wanted to go again here in ATL, but I dont think I'll be able to go b4 it leaves...

I live in Kennesaw and it's not too bad either. But the drive/traffic is hell-ish!

I saw the same thing and didnt even bother to call. Just seemed too good to be true. I think I've gotton it narrowed down to Chatt Tech or North Metro...anybody thinking of going to those schools?

thanks for the encouragment, guys! it means alot to me. i really miss school right now (i'm taking a leave of absence.) if i could just manage to get through things without the top of my head blowing off. :angryfire i love the learning aspect...but it's hard to learn something when 10 people keep asking the same question over and over again just to get the instructor to tell them they are right. who wants to be right every single time? and lord forgive us all if anybody answers a question right before "they" can....*smh* when i get back (mid-may) i'll have an entirelly different class...so maybe it wont be so bad. cross your fingers!

It's all politics and I can only "lay low" so long. *sigh* I guess I'm just discouraged.

I guess my main problem is inconsistancies in my program. I realize that there will people you like and people you hate. Thats just part of life. But I hate all the pettiness, cattiness between students, hateful instructors and trying to be someones pet student. I dont have to like them (and they dont have to like me) I just want an education. But it's hard to do when an instructor lets another get away with murder while I am condemed for loud sneezing. You know what I mean? :angryfire Sinn

What to do when you REALLY had like 3 of your instructors and can't stand the ENTIRE program because of politics? Is it time to leave at this point? Just wondering...

I'm looking for a program in Atlanta....I'll be moving there very soon. I've done just about all the online searching but still coming up empty. I'm thinking Atlanta/Marrietta/Kennesaw area....can anyone show me the way? Thanks!

:rotfl: LOL....I can't do ADULT poop...kiddie poop isnt that bad to me. Am I a weirdo or WHAT?! Sinn;)

LOL!!! Exactly!!!! And no med errors to worry about....:rotfl:

I think I'm getting scholiosis (sp?) from lugging these books around!!! can someone get me a MAN-SERVANT....or at least a decent backpack on wheels?! Sinn

I have a "is it possible" question.... I'd like to work with the Medical Examiner/Corner...as perhaps an assistant of some sort...can I do that as an LPN? Sinn

******student alert*****i thought eating dirt was pica? is this not true? sinn

LMAO...thats a good one....:rotfl:

that's exactly what i mean. i am not above volunteering my time for worthy causes. and yes i enjoy helping other people, that without my help would be lost. but i also want to get paid for it!!! (and get paid a decent salary too). i volunteer at my local library...but i need a job also. a steady one. and being paid a good wage. to support my family. nursing is the best fit for me. i can do what i am trained to do/what i love and get paid to do it. whats the problem? sinn

i recently bought an old pdr (2001) for homework around the house at a used bookstore. its great...a little old but still pretty up-to-date to go with the book that came with our kit. also, i got really thick ankle socks from the scrub store, they are great! my feet feel so cushy! and a little clipboard that opens up and has all these little cubbies inside to hold pens, penlights, nametage, etc. inside. i picked that up at walmart for $8. sinn

i'm looking for this kind of program in the atlanta area. either adn or bsn...can anyone help me? i seem to have only found 2-3 schools...there has be be more than that right? sinn

i just wanted to drop you guys a line and let u know how helpgul u were!!! thanks so much!!!

i have med sheets that i have been working on and out of 23 med this pt is on...8 of them i cannot find. could someone help me please? at least steer me in the right direction...*hands and knees* 1. xenaderm ointment 2. lubiskin lotion 3. promethegan sup 25mg 4. senna-ducusa tab (sorry if thats spelled wrong) 5. travatan sol 6. akwa tears 7. metoclopram tab 5mg 8. cosopt sol maybe if i could just figure out the generic names...i would be able to find it. i've looked in 2 drug books, walgreens.com, cvs.com, and askjeeves.com (i was desperate @ that point). lol i even called my local pharmacy! thanks in advance... sinn

for the most part...the nurses during my clinicals (this is the 2nd week) have been great. they help when they can and one actually came and got me and 2 other students to show us some wound care. the only person who hasnt been as helpful is a few of the cna's! i was surprised! one of them were really snotty to us. :uhoh21: i dont know why...maybe they dont like students either!!! i know i'm just going to shut my mouth...keep my comments to myself and try to keep my nose clean. i do not want to be on this woman's bad side...lol:rotfl: sinn

lol....not enough. when i lived in oklahoma i got about $9.50 to $10 in long term care with 4 years experience. sinn

well i continusly buck the system!!!! i'm am so sick and tired of people commenting on what i look like rather than the excellent job i do. i am no way shape or form scary:angryfire at all and i have never had a pt. say so to me or anyone else. i currently have 7 tattoos and 13 body piercings (including 4 in my face) and i had to take them out for clinicals. but it was allowed on another girl in my class. i even offered to put retainers in them so they were not visible but still left the hole open so i could insert the jewlery again in my free time. all my tattoos are covered up by my srubs...i'd have to show them to you for you to see them. i feel like this...i'm still in school...i'm actually pay you to teach me but you feel the need to restrict what i wear, how i wear it and how i chose to decorate myself. i have no say so at all about anything, yet i continue to pay you b/c i so dream to be a nurse. why must adults have a dress code anyway???? white scrubs....closed back shoes...no piercings/tattoos....natural colored hair, etc. they even tell us what underwear to wear to clinicals. now that is where i draw the line people!!! :angryfire i'm tempted to walk into clincals in hot pink panties!!! and what is the difference between earrings and tongue rings anyway? it's still a man-made hole in your body...weather one is more mainstream than the other should make no difference. i say all or nothing. and dont get me started about the girl in my class who has a tattoo on her neck that says f*ck!!!:angryfire she walks around proud all day long...with her head shaved!!! ohhh this is a hot topic for me!!! sinn

i'm not sure if it is even possible for you to even get a license. i live in pa and they did a background check and barred anyone from entering the program if they had any type of felony. i'm orginally from ok and they wont allow it either. i'm not sure how different things are in ny. i do, however, wish you the best of luck and hope that you keep us informed on what happens. sinn
