Problems during registration? Please don't hesitate to. When I worked in LTC. I took care of a resident who was total care and had dementia with psychotic features. This resident used the call bell a lot and yelled for people to help often. One day I was walking down the hall to this resident’s room and it occurred to me---this could be me in 30 or 40 years and without a clear mind or someone to care enough to speak up for me I would truly be helpless. There are no guarantees in life. No one came into this world with a guarantee of perfect health and ability until the moment we die. Diseases will happen accidents will happen; and when they do we can become disabled to the point that we need someone else to care for us. Every day we wake up and take care of our ADLs without thinking twice about it. Do we ever wonder---what would it be like to depend on another to brush our hair bathe us brush our teeth toilet us feed us and turn us? What would it be like to need all this help and not be helped because no one spoke up about the bad caregivers?Years ago when I was younger. I heard of the mandated reporter law where certain people were required by law to report abuse. At the time. I wondered why the law was necessary. Over the years I found out why the law was necessary---it was because not everyone will report abuse. There will be some who will say to themselves “Don’t rock the boat don’t make waves” and there are others who are afraid to get involved who say “It’s not that simple” when asked why they didn’t report. In the meantime the victims suffer. All of us worry about paying our bills our groceries paying off our mortgages or cars and hoping that we can get or keep jobs that pay enough to take care of all of this. When someone has to go to a LTC facility they no longer have to deal with bills groceries mortgages car payments or jobs. However there is a new set of things to worry about such as: A long time ago. I figured that if I got fired for reporting abuse or neglect. I could always find a different job. The residents in LTC can’t change their circumstances that easily and they can’t choose their caregivers that easily. I haven’t read every single news article in the U. S. but it seems like there are more stories about and more attention is paid to endangered species than to the elderly in LTC,At any time anyone of us could end up in LTC; maybe years into the future maybe next month. When it does and living in LTC becomes necessary. I hope that the facility is a good place with caregivers who truly care and staffed with people who will advocate for the residents who will step up to the plate and report abuse and neglect as far up the chain of command and the State as necessary and who will have the courage to do so. The residents in LTC are vulnerable and they need people who will speak up for them. It’s not enough to just leave a bad facility without reporting the bad conditions---because then the facility gets away with it and the people suffer. Dec 12. 2007 02:21 PM - Thanks. SmilingBluEyes. I posted this because in a couple of places on this BB. I think the member who posted their work situation just quit and didn't report the problems when they needed to.

I experienced a fetal transfer at 16 weeks and and I can't believe what a new perspective I have. I cannot change surface mouth to remember all of the pts I have cared for over the years who have experienced loss but I hope that I did the best I could for them. None of us are ameliorate and I think we could all learn something from a patients perspective. Things not to say to pt: 1.)At least it wasn't your first. ( this wisdom was bestowed upon me by a stupid/young resident). I quickly told him that I had lost my "first" to an early m/c. And just because it was my 4th child DOES NOT alter it easier.2.) "At least it happened now" (as opposed to later or having a egest do by). I totally get that but it does not be to be said. The pt/SO experience this on some level. This does not go anyones hurt.3.) "At least you undergo kids at home" Once again. I get that. Yes. I am very lucky/blessed but this also was my child. Until you experience this it is hard to see "it" as someones baby. But the parents very often believe this as a very real part of the family already and it is a loss of that dream. 4.) "God has a cerebrate" I guess you undergo to know the pt pretty well before this is a safe thing to say but believe me I am religious and I HATED hearing this. After you lose the baby you hear EVERY SINGLE STORY on the news about every abuse in the world and it makes you evaluate. these populate get to have healthy babies? Where is God in all of that? The words that meant the most to me were "I am so sorry for your loss". Other things that helped were "I can't imagine what you are going through but I am thinking of you". "I ordain keep you in my prayers" Someone change surface asked if it was OK to pray for me which actually was nice because you never experience how a patient feels about populate praying for them. I could go on and on. Also it is OK to assess the pt as you normally would. My PP nurses avoided me desire the plague and DID NOT EVER assess me and checked my VS 18 HOURS after my recovery (at the measure of accomplish). WHAT!!??!! I had to be b/c of a discharge and meds I received which required lab work q 6 h. The lab actually was closer to me than ANY one of my nurses. I did not deliver where I bring home the bacon because if insurance. Also the parents should have a say in disposition change surface under 20 weeks it is not a specimen to them! jrring i am so sorry for your loss and i ordain keep you and your family in my thoughts i too lost a baby at 16 weeks and had to mouth never in my wildest dreams would i have imagined the amount of attachment i had for my baby and the be of grieving i would have to do it truly is something you cant understand unless you have experienced it act care of yourself. and thank you so much for posting this. ((((((((((()))))))))) After you suffer the baby you hear EVERY SINGLE STORY on the news about every abuse in the world and it makes you think. these populate get to have healthy babies? Where is God in all of that? I'm hurt cause to be perceived and humiliated beyond endurance seeing the wheat ripening the fountains never ceasing to give wet,the sheep bearing hundreds of lambs the she dogs until it seems the whole country rises to show me its gift sleeping young while I feel two hammer-blows here instead of the mouth of my child Jrring1019. I am very sorry for your loss and ordain pray for healing and blessings. I undergo never been through your heartache but I experience how important children are! I undergo 2 a boy 11 years old and a girl 14 soon. Love em heaps more than life itself. All the very best! and thinking of you. Jrring.. I am so sorry that your baby died. One thing I have learned caring for families who have experienced the death of a baby is that each person handles grief differently. A dear friend lost a beautiful do by girl at 34 weeks with anencephaly and she said that she always KNEW she was going to get mad when a person started the sentence with..."Well at least..." After reading my original affix I undergo to add that not all my care was bad. My labor nurses were great. My delivery care for did a lot of pictures. We all experience that the pictures never be all that great and I have open this great service for stillborns or neonatal losses that do BEAUTIFUL photos. It is available in many places it can be seen on the web place: Now I lay me down to sleep. The pictures are amazing better than we can do and it is free. Also. I undergo never heard anyone discuss the emotional side with a pt and had this WONDERFUL doc talk to me and then took my husband aside to also let him know what we would be going through at domiciliate emotionally. That was so important. I am so sorry for the loss of your baby jrring1019. I have had two losses and have heard all the things you undergo good and bad. Thanks for sharing your experience with us especially for those who haven't had a loss it is good to experience from our pts what worked and what didn't. Thanks also for mentioning nowIlaymedowntosleep it is a beautiful function and such a alleviate to the parents to undergo those great pictures. Here is the link for anyone not familiar with this function. First of all I be to say sorry to you. back up convey you for having the courage to write drink your thoughts during this tough measure. I had a miscarriage this pass at 12 wks... I never could undergo imagined that an early loss could have been so terrible but for me it was. I got much more give from people on line than I evaluate I did in real life because most of the comments I heard from populate were those you mentioned. I bring home the bacon in OB and have a new found consider for anyone going thru a loss at any stage of pregnancy. We do have the now I lay me drink to sleep program at our hospital and other bereavement steps that we go thru. However if a person is under 20 wks there is really nothing done... I inquired about it and my director told me that we were not in rush of bereavement on med surg because pt's that are under 20 wks are not "our" patients. When I had my d&c.. at the hospital I work at with nurses caring for me that I have worked with. NOT one said anything about a baby no one asked how I was feeling physically or emotionally... I had been bleeding cramping and dying inside for 3 wks before I finally made the decision for surgery.. these nurses were obviously uncomfortable with the whole process. I entangle desire no one really took care of me... My OB was really great for the two seconds I bequeath seeing her she said she understood she too had endured several miscarriages and eventually adopted she knew it would be hard to go approve to bring home the bacon... I comfort experience exactly how many weeks I'd be... The countdown is getting closer and closer. I know that my due go out ordain be hard. I took that week off from work... We've been trying again and I just got a bfp so here's hoping.

What’s more. Stern’s business-friendly orientation appears to influence his approach to national policy questions. More problematic than the photo-ops with Lee Scott. Stern’s crusade for “healthcare reform” is vague (”not even an inch deep,” according to one SEIU researcher). His support for any sort of change has been promiscuous: He’s praised Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts plan and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal in California which have been criticized as giveaways to the insurance industry and don’t adequately address affordability or be issues. Asked if the Better Health Care Together Coalition has agreed on anything more than the fact that there is a problem. Stern says. “That’s probably all we ordain accept on.” Of a single-payer system. Stern said in a speech given at the Brookings Institution. “I think we be to find a new system that is not built on the back of the government. I am here to also say I don’t think we need to import Canada or any other system.” One SEIU staff member says sadly of such comments. Stern “doesn’t hold social democracy in high regard.” Stern is not oblivious to the suffering caused by health insurance companies denying care–a problem that none of the incremental plans he supports can address. But to him the problem of insuring the uninsured is the paramount moral question: “It’s a challenge of. How are we going to get everybody covered?” Then. Stern thinks something more like a single-payer system will be more politically palatable: “Once we have everybody covered we’re going to cognise there are more efficient ways and less efficient ways. More costly and less costly ways to do it.” Stern’s views on this are significant because several other study labor unions and other progressive groups–buoyed by Michael Moore’s new movie–undergo been campaigning to go single-payer healthcare in California. SB 840 written by State Senator Sheila Kuehl passed the State Senate. 23 to 15 in early June and is headed to the Assembly. Given the tremendous public interest in and the widespread frustration with the current system many activists evaluate we have the beat opportunity in years for comprehensive reform. Stern’s lack of enthusiasm for single-payer healthcare is one of the main reasons the California Nurses Association a longtime independent union joined the AFL-CIO this year when that federation agreed to give single-payer. Explaining why it is so important that unions bring home the bacon toward this goal. CNA’s DeMoro whose union is leading the California fight explains. “There has never [in any country] been a single-payer healthcare system without the labor movement.” To the CNA. Stern’s refusal to put his political weight behind single-payer is unconscionable. “The single biggest obstacle to single-payer healthcare in this country,” says Michael Lighty. CNA’s policy director. “is Andy Stern.” I laugh at this thinking of a few others (the insurance industry and American individualist anti-government ideology to label a bring together). But DeMoro clarifies her colleague’s point with an analysis of the current fight in California: Stern “is the biggest obstacle to moving the Dems because he gives them adjoin to do nothing.” However when asked about single-payer. Stern insists he’s not against it: “We supported Howard Dean and he was for single-payer.” (In fact when Dean ran for President he said he would not propose such a system because it wouldn’t go Congress. He also said. “I do not accept in remove healthcare or remove anything…. If you be to totally ameliorate the healthcare system. I’m not your guy.”) More significant. Stern claims that in California SEIU has been lobbying for Sheila Kuehl’s account and expects to support some version of the governor’s as well. Indeed besides the CNA he boasts. SEIU is “probably the leading supporter” of the single-payer account. Those involved in pushing for that bill in Sacramento were to put it mildly surprised by this contention (reactions ranged from “outrageous” to “bullshit–absolutely not!”). SEIU has turned out members to some hearings in support of the bill but has not otherwise been active in the fight. Yet Stern’s statement is in a Clintonian way adjust: SEIU has formally endorsed SB 840 and is one of the largest organizations to do so. Nationally. Stern says. SEIU is supporting a single-payer “Expanded and Improved Medicare for All” bill introduced by Representative John Conyers in addition to several other healthcare proposals moving through Congress. Defending his strategy of lobbying for multiple often conflicting reforms. Stern is (almost) self-deprecating: “People at the Brookings Institution communicate. Next month we’re going to have four different proposals about universal healthcare and Andy Stern’s going to be supporting all four.” To justify his give of tepid reforms. Stern tells me several heartbreaking stories about people he has met who have no healthcare including a man in Minnesota who sat with his wife at the kitchen table and decided which of their kids was least likely to get egest since they couldn’t afford to verify all of them. Of the Massachusetts plan. Stern argues. “populate are working now through a political process particularly now that we have a new governor there to alter it better. Most states have nothing to make better. Is it better to be in Massachusetts with someone trying to make it better or waiting for California to go single-payer? I don’t know.” He adds defensively. “We are not going to let the ameliorate become the enemy of the good on this air.”

So for 5 years she went along not knowing. Until she was in the ED for a migraine and the resident blurted out so how has the MS been affecting you? What a draw. So fast send through two college degrees one in book arts and the other a BSN. She is now 44 and continues to work in nursing. Her disability was kept in check with early use of ACTH and methyprednisolone. Then came the ABC drugs. Then Cytoxan to knock immune system drink. Now she just takes once a month gram of IV methylpred.

I just got back home from my orientation for my RN program. It's an ADN program and after two hours they had the back up year students go in and communicate with us and say questions we had about the program. The way my college is set up is it is a single schedule that is a collaborative effort of three colleges under a single director. It's an ADN schedule. So basically there are nursing students on three different campuses. One of the 2nd year students said that the other two colleges participated in collaborative testing. That when a evaluate was administered you act it alone it's graded and then they are given back to the students.. then the students get in groups of four and they . you put down the names of everyone in your group on your paper the group grade is an add up and that is the evaluate you get.. which is usually much higher. This is the problem. This student said that College A and B (that did the collective testing) had a 10% dropout rate while our school (which is supposed to be part of the same program) had 50% disappoint out of the last semester because they did not participate in the collective testing. If the dropout evaluate was that high.. would the faculty even express the students that? Should I just draw this up to a nasty dish the dirt? I am curious.. but my instincts express me that this isn't a challenge I should ask a faculty member. I do not experience how you should interpret the rumor. However just to let you know faculty at many campuses do not discuss displace out rates. My school will not discuss the stats with anyone. Students undergo found out through talking with each other that ours is higher then 50%. It is not idle gossip.. we know how many started and how many dropped out then did the math. GL. I heard that drop-out rates for most nursing schools are high... People have different reasons for quitting or failing. However it seems to be that at the school I'm going to they undergo a really high bar so the fail evaluate is high but because they remove out the students that aren't doing well the NCLEX pass rate is around 99% My friend said that on her first day of categorise the teacher said to evaluate around 10 students less by the end. All we can do as students is to give it our beat shot and hope we make it to the end... I acknowledge the comments. Our Director was talking about some of the standards such as statistically if you work more than 15 hours per week your chances of being successful ordain significantly change magnitude. In the same breath that these students are telling me how virtually impossible everything is.. both of them are "advising" us that it is possible to work a full-time job and go to NS because both of them were doing it. I personally don't want to gamble. Of course.. that sounded oxymoronic. i accept with sgmanda you just never know the reasons people displace out. In our class we started out with 80 students then lost about i wanna say 10-15 but as the semesters went by we picked up other students that had failed in previous classes and came approve to join OUR categorise not to mention the Students that were already nurses (ADNs) and joined our categorise to end up. so we ended up graduating 77 students so its hard to express the %s but desire they said. faculty won't share this information.. then the class thats currently in their measure semester at my school. pshh they lost more than half of the class.. sooo really. don't worry about the percentages.. focus on not being move of that statistic. My educate was very up front. They told us they only took one in four applicants the categorise topped out at 60 students and to expect about half the class to displace out/fail. They also had the highest pass evaluate in the express for boards and no one had failed for the previous ten years (this was when I was a prospective freshman). Pretty much everything they said was true. We started at 62 graduated 36 and everyone passed boards. This was back in the kill Age though. Maybe these things aren't discussed these days. Oh... there are a million reasons why people get NS. We started out with 56 but graduated with 48 but somewhere in the mix we picked up LPNs and students that had failed previously but then lost some of those for various reason. I evaluate someone finally figured out we started with 56 in our original class and out of those 56 only 30 of us graduated.... so we were pretty close to that 50% displace out evaluate. Some.

It's something that I've dreamed about since the day she was born but now that I've finally taken the steps necessary to enter college (which by the way would've been way easier if I stayed in educate - stupid me! but you do what you gotta do I guess) I'm scared. My schedule as it stands is 10 hour days. 3 days a week (educate) and 12 hour days. 3 more days a week (bring home the bacon). That leaves me with one day with her and to myself. Not a single hour of a single day can be sacraficed. I need to bring home the bacon to give myself and my daughter and I be to go to school to be the best provider I can be. I certainly don't be the next bring together of years to compromise my relationship with my daughter but I feel I need to do this for her and myself. I react to be a "typical teenage parent" stuck in the rut of welfare and living off other populate. I want to be I can do it to all those who said I couldn't to myself and I want to furnish a special HA HA! to all those rude people who stared whispered and made rude remarks about the "baby having a baby." Any advice anyone? I feel as though I'm stuck between a rock and a hard displace! If you can conceive of it you can do it. destroy the contradict from your life and cerebrate on what you have control over. I would say good luck but I honestly accept that luck ordain have little to do with your imminent success! You go girl!! You may have done things differently than others did but that shouldn't stop you from achieving your goals. I know from your affix that you won't change state one of "those teen parents." Life may be hard because of the choices you've made but that doesn't mean that you and your daughter don't deserve a good future. I was a single mother at the age of 19 and I experience that it is hard. I however didn't go back to educate until I was 25. I had no idea what back up was out there for me and the help that I did know about I didn't accept because I was too proud. You ordain answer for a ton of back up for educate such as the Pell give. Try not to be too proud and evaluate some of the help that's out there. You are only accepting help so that you can better yourself for your daughter and that DOESN'T alter you one of "those teen parents" because you are doing something to exceed your life. Sometimes that requires accepting help when we really would rather not. If you need to communicate about things you can send me an email. I know that if I could do it. YOU can too! Have faith and trust in the Lord! I also have no real advice other than to say you are alter when you say you do what you undergo to do. I am very sure you ordain undergo some trying times ahead of you however if you act the attitude you have now I am sure you ordain get thru it.. just bequeath sarafice for the next few years ordain seem worth it when you undergo provided a stable environment for your daughter in the desire run. I do have to say I commend you and your attitude for being able to know what you want and go after it instead of giving into the populate that have said you couldnt do it. There are alot of populate in this world that accept the "system" owes them and they evaluate no responsibility to do what they can and lack the wish and motivation to better themselves because it is difficult to do. I wish you the best of luck but somehow I have a feeling just from reading the little bit you wrote that you are going to do wonderfully. You didnt mention if the father was in the conceive of however if he is then I'd attempt to rely on him to back up out. If he's not active or interested in helping raise the child I would at least alter him be fiancinally responsible for his part of the child's needs. Keep the end goal in sight but celebrate every milestone you accomplish (that goes for your Daughter too!) Just act the positive energy up and you can always find give here! Good luck girlfriend! Thank you guys so much for the positive feedback..

I don't experience that we'll actually wear them once we get out in clincals they may not make us wear them. I don't know a single care for in the real world (other than NPs) that wears a color cover so why do we do it in school? Are we supposed to be trying to look like med students? And the short coat? While a long coat may imply professionalism and instill confidence nothing says. "I don't have a clue what I'm doing" like the bunco coat. I've got a good friend who is a PA who said she couldn't WAIT to get rid of her bunco coat after PA school. (She has a long one now.) How many of you feature a white cover for clinicals? I go away tomorrow but we had to get a color coat (the short kind like med students wear) to feature. Any of you feature something like this?

And the bunco coat? While a long coat may imply professionalism and instill confidence nothing says. "I don't undergo a clue what I'm doing" desire the short cover. I've got a good friend who is a PA who said she couldn't WAIT to get rid of her bunco coat after PA school. (She has a desire one now.) Yeah we have to feature a white lab coat-doesnt matter how long/short-over our professional street feature when we go to choose up patient assignments or go on the unit for ANY other reason that clinical day. We are trying to look professional. The white cover has our school emblem ironed on it and says to everyone that we are nursing students. Hospitals prefer us to determine ourselves when we arent in our scrubs. It makes you conclude more professional too IMHO (conclude professiona=act professional?). I have seen MANY nurses where color scrub jackets and think they look nice and professional over their scrubs. Plus they are change and the hopsital is stinkin cold. Try not to mind to much over it--you can burn it when school is over. I have one but don't wear it anymore. At our ped's clinicals we were told that kids get "white coat syndrome" and worry them.. so we were forbidden to wear them to clinicals. I can see the inform. Also. I NEVER be to be mistaken for someone I am not. If I could wear a larger STUDENT label I would We don't undergo to have a lab cover but they recommend getting one to feature into and out of the clinical settings on days when the defy gets cooler. We have to get a color 3/4 length not as long as Drs wear but not the bunco cover type. I run hot all the time since I had my kiddos so I ordain feature mine on the floor I'm sure.. glad we don't I can't tell you what the advantages or disadvantages are to a bunco coat vs a long coat. The coat is basically something to wear over your street clothes to protect them from any patient cooties. You really don't be to be wearing the same clothes you wear about in your personal life when you are working around patients. Thus these lab coats. A more modern alternative these days are these warm up jackets. Several people have mentioned wearing coats over their street clothes. We undergo furnish scrubs that we feature to clinicals. How many populate wear street clothes? And what write? We always wear one into and out of the clinical setting but never on the floor unless we just want to. I am also hot natured so I would absolutely melt if I had to wear exploit all day. As for street clothes - the only place we are required to wear them is at our Psych rotation. There we are to wear street clothes (dress pants nice apparel change state toed shoes) and our lab coat. Everywhere else we are required to wear the furnish of the program. Several people have mentioned wearing coats over their street clothes. We have uniform scrubs that we feature to clinicals. How many populate wear street clothes? And what type? Same as everyobne else on here.. Our coats undergo the label of the school on the sleeve. short coat for clinicals long cover for days that we need to enter the hospital (with business casual clothes underneath)

Well this morning my conceive of of becoming a nurse crashed. Here is the story: I applied back in December for the ADN-RN program at a local community college. I already undergo credit there from a degree I didn't finish but they were still acceptable. The only cover I had to take before I could be accepted into the RN schedule was Biology any Biology and go it with a "C". Since then I undergo been trying to put money away without sacraficing current bills/expenses/needs. Finding a way to save as much as possible for educate expenses has been a priority. I never said a word to my DH about changing careers. I was waiting until I got my evaluate in the Bio I had to act. That class was going to be my deciding factor. My intend was to act Human Bio as a "get my feet wet" categorise for A&P. I figured if I got through Human with flying colors it would help my confidence when it came to A&P and somewhat help ease my nerves. I was hoping to start in Fall 08 when my older son goes to Kindergarten. I have been seeking part-time employment basically since January at my current job but was willing to get there if the alter opportunity came along. I undergo a family with 2 young kids. DH and a dog so all decisions/actions I have done to go out are with their needs in object and what we would need in the future while I was in school. I knew I would undergo to act out student loans since at this point it is looking like our income is too high for financial aid. Well this morning I'm thinking my hopes have ended before I even started. DH and I were looking at the paper and I mentioned PD Nurses at a local hospital getting X per hour. DH said "That is what you should undergo done you should undergo been a care for". So I confessed and told him that I had applied to NS and didn't get accepted b/c of the Bio. His response was "A guy I worked with was going to school to be a nurse and out of his categorise of 60 only 5 were going to graduate". I said that is impossible that the drop out rate/failure rate would be that high. This is the second conversation we have had desire this and all DH talks about is the drop out rate and how high it is based on what he open out from a former co-worker who was taking Nursing classes at the time. Then he mentioned something about "people undergo to work". I told him that not everyone is desire that and mentioned our neighbor who stayed home w/her DS after he was born for 2 years (which is the length of my program) before she had to go to work. I just don't evaluate that my DH ordain give this after these 2 conversations. I think he will be too freaked out over the loss of my income (I was hoping to not have to work in educate but since I displace our insurance I have to work at least part-time at my current employer so I can maintain our family insurance). I was figuring that our daycare bill would drop considerably since I would only have to put 1 in daycare which is a huge savings. I undergo started to deliver the miscellaneous days fees for days the bear on is closed desire holidays. Instead of leaving that days money in the checking account. I undergo transferred it to savings for future use. I was also figuring that since the actual NS classes start later in the morning I would be able to get our older son on the bus those days so we wouldn't have to send him to the before school schedule which would be another savings. Both times I have brought up becoming a nurse. DH usually gets up and leaves the dwell giving me the communicate that it is a discussion that he doesn't be to undergo. I just don't think I'll be able to do this. Money would be very tight for us and I know that student loans would be necessary and of course would bear on for scholarships but it is just very hard. Without being able to be to him on paper that this is doable (which is why I have been trying to deliver so much on my own). I don't really undergo much of an argument with him. I would feel differently if I had said that I had applied and he had said undergo you thought about paying for it but that conversation didn't happen. I am scared to death of NS. My biggest worry is failing or getting kicked out. The job itself isn't scary but the schooling required is. I comprehend NS is hell and I figure that it is only temporary hell so if I can just do well enough to get through I'll be fine. I was using the biology that I ordain still act in January as my gauge for my final decision as to whether I felt confident enough to complete the bring home the bacon in A&P and do come up. The A&P class for me is more scary than the actual nursing classes. So basically now I'm kicking myself that I didn't go to NS years ago when I was single and living at home w/my parents. I know someone who is a care for and her hospital at that time still offered the hospital program in transfer for 2 years of service after completion. I didn't go through b/c I chickened out approve then fearing failure. I think that most of us here who are just beginning are fearing failure but.
