I need to finish my hours up! I still have 27 hours to finish! Dh is out of town for 3 more weeks so I can't do 12-hour shifts right now because of my kids. Ugh! I was hoping to get this done by next Monday! Sorry, just posting my frustration...hopefully I can get back to sleep.

Apr 10, 2005 Can't you work with someone else?renerianNo, they have to be approved through my school or something like that to be able to precept us. I'm fine about it I guess (as long as I get my hours in...)it will be 74 degrees here, I can get my kids early - they're at my parent's house about 3 hours away but this way we'll have time to play outside.:)

Apr 10, 2005 Where i work, if you have a student with you, and usually you have agreed prior to the student coming in, you dont get off the days you have a student working with you. If you have to be off for an emergency, and it better be an emergency, they will have someone else work with you that day, but it makes for a real confused situation.
