Our OTs and PTs have to be SO patient, not to mention having to stay in with the same patient for 90 minutes straight. Uh no thank you!! I really hope that you find the job you're looking for & thanks for stopping by my little 'ol blog.

Some programs are 5 days a week. I found that what worked best for me was switching to night shift. I was able to work around my school schedule & since nights were less hectic I was also able to get some school work done. Good luck with everything!!! If you go back to the very beginning of my blog I started blogging through nursing school. :DCandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995021996457640960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371007066415015499.post-41133224306259834762016-10-09T09:12:17.294-05:002016-10-09T09:12:17.294-05:00Jury I AM soooo looking forward to those unschedul...Jury I AM soooo looking forward to those unscheduled, unplanned days when I can go to work and come back home knowing I have NOTHING hanging over my head....well probably except for more work but I'll be getting paid for that instead of paying out the wazoo!! :D Thanks for reading.

I had started an OT program a couple years ago, but long story short, it wasn't for me. I'm now working on a humanities phd, but still find myself thinking about working in health care. (I have also worked in between school too.)<br />Hope you're doing well!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442307805105655053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371007066415015499.post-76975433321898233342016-07-12T14:27:27.446-05:002016-07-12T14:27:27.446-05:00Hi I just happen to stop by your blog.

I am entering nursing school in the fall of 2018. I felt nervewracking to keep a full time job (hopefully 3 12 hours shift LNA )and go to nursing.. chorusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371007066415015499.post-27543443864828790562016-06-20T17:32:38.721-05:002016-06-20T17:32:38.721-05:00April, fortunately we have several FB groups for o...April, fortunately we have several FB groups for our classes. We have a main page that's just a general page for everyone in the program and then we have a page for each class (clinical). It's actually been VERY helpful. When you start your program I would say to just start emailing people to see if there's a FB page. If there's not then make one & just invite everyone by email. If there is then I definitely say to join. Also, if you are going to make a new page I would make it secret or at the very least private. Our main page is secret to you can't even search for it, you have to be invited. Anyway, congrats on getting started!!!!

We took a trip to the beach for a couple of days. I also have a Sting/Peter Gabriel concert in a couple of weeks. You take care of yourself!

Would you say your fellow students are close knit such as coordinating study groups, etc? Or is being online pretty much leaving you to being on your own?Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03920530877058158176noreply@blogger.com
