Thinking the same thing.
I could have written your post except that I have not applied yet to the accel BSN program and don't want to do perioperative nursing (I'm more in line with the poster down below who wants to work in an outpatient setting).
Good luck to you. I thought I would like working alone at home, but I miss being around people.
I have been thinking the same thing...
I was going to post one, but have hesitated. Then I was on another MT board the other night, lurking, and read that this board actually edits not only posts, but who gets to pay and browse their resumes. So, the discussion was that anyone posting their resume here should be aware that their choices are being limited as many companies are denied access for personal reasons with the board owner. So....that made me nervous and have not posted to date.
I was thinking the same thing myself, well said. NM

Yes - I was thinking the same thing (sm)
When my little brother called this afternoon, I told him that I thought it was a little strange that she sent them to a hospital without calling them first, especially in an emergency situation. I also told him that I thought the midwife should be with them unless, of course, she has another patient in labor. I probably shouldn't have said anything to him right now about it. I guess I was just a little stunned. I told him though that it sounded like they were in very good hands now and I was very relieved the baby and sis in law are being monitored now. I will update when I hear more news. I wonder how I can find out or get any information on this woman's credentials?
Sorry, but the last thing I'd be thinking about if
calling a friend/relative at whatever time of day/night saying "Hey, I am rushing my child to the emergency room - I don't have time to explain but how about you call my job".
First and foremost, my child would be the only thing of concern to my family/friends. Even getting them to call MY job in a situation like that wouldn't happen.
People need more compassion. Luckily the person I work for is very compassionate and would probably smack me up along side the head for putting work before a baby in distress.

Christmas money spent already, next big money tax return....should go to bills. Well, maybe some will, but....there's always some pocket money to be put away for a rainy day, he he...
I was thinking the same thing as AgingMT
I noticed the topic has been closed out but just keep us updated as to how you are doing. You said some pretty scary stuff like not wanting to be here and things like that. I also think you should seek out someone to talk to other than us because we are not able to talk to you freely and we are not qualified and might say the wrong thing. Yet we care and want to know you are okay. A lot of us are closet counselors and want the best for you. It could be that we are older or it could be we have been there before. I am 44 so you could almost be my child.
You can be picky about who you choose to counsel you, maybe an older woman would feel more comfortable.
Definitely agree with Jan and some of the other posters. You obviously have the brains to succeed but it takes a healthy mind as well. Depression can hinder anyone's success regardless of having the know how or brains to succeed. So the focus should definitely be managing the depression first. Drinking would get in the way of this even as recreational I would steer clear for now. Post on mental health or christian so maybe your post won't be deleted or replies blocked.
I'm Christian so my prayers go out to you but totally respect other faiths and belief systems.

Thanks everyone! Good thing I asked, as I was thinking of 2-3 weeks! Yikes.
Thanks again. I think I will give them one month and hopefully if they find someone sooner they will let me go on my way. (what a relief that will be too!) Thanks!
Speaking of Kenny Chesney, is anyone thinking what I am thinking? see message
When I hear the words, "annulment" and "fraud" in the same sentence, I can only think of one thing. Anybody else thinking the same thing?
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

Let's try to focus on the original question, not debate the evils of daycare. I agree, many discussions on this board do end in negativity, but I thought this one was going pretty well until we hit the nerve about daycare.
I think Kira has been given a lot of great information from a lot of different points of view. It's all food for thought.
My thinking too - thus the OMG nm
That's what I was thinking.
It sounds like a case of misdirected anger here. Grandma was probably waiting for the right moment instead of springing bad news on them the moment they came through the door. Are you going to all have a yelling match late at night when your'e tired from your trip and all the kids are home? Better to wait until they're at school and discuss it like rational adults. How many times has the kid been arrested and suspended before now? The kid is the one who was wrong by misbehaving in the first place. If he's such a bad seed, why did he get left with Grandma anyway? Everyone knows Grandparents aren't as good as enforcing rules as parents are. All this communication and responsibility nonsense is control freak bunk. The kid wouldn't have been arrested and suspended if you truly had honest and open communication. Why was he arrested and suspended anyway?
That's exactly what I was thinking

I have a friend that was a Pug breeder. Unfortunately the "Pug couple" only had one litter as the female had major problems with her first and only litter. She still has the male and female who are almost 10 years old and in good health.
She "rescued" a "Puggle" (Pug/Beagle cross) a few months ago and that poor dog had the worst gas. STINK! It was just awful. She was feeding him Iams just like her older Pugs, but he would make everyone run outside. We had him in the car one day and we were all ready to just bail.
I'll have to ask her what she did to make the Puggle stop clearing out the neighborhood. 
I too have been thinking about it...sm
I have not raised my price for five years and am seriously considering going up another penny maybe after the holidays. I too pick up and deliver and we all know the cost of gas! Anyway, I think I am due or overdue!!!

I was tought to type way back in the 10th grade. We learned right from the start not to look at the keys. Why do you need the letters to stay on?? I really don't understand it.
Thinking about it.
I have a BS that isn't that marketable (at least all of my A&P, Patho, etc.. were useful for this job) and am contemplating the same thing.
I have thought about outpatient primary care nursing since I don't really want to work in an inpatient environment. I originally wanted to get my BSN but got sidetracked and am thinking about going back through a BS to BSN program sometime in the future.
My kids are 2,3 and 7 and while I know some people can do it, I think it would be really hard to go to RN school at this point in my life. Your child is older and it might be easier for you, but it will still be tough. You have to get to clinicals early and often stick around to get more information on your pt at the end. The night before your clinical, I have heard RN students have to do tons of prep work - you have to know your pt's medical condition inside and out and have all of your nursing diagnoses and care plans set up.
Its a lot of work but the career is very rewarding and the pay, despite all of the kvetching, is pretty darn decent.
If it is something YOU want to do, talk to an advisor. Get the lowdown on it. When I was in college the first time, the RN program had an information session for prospective students that included a Q and A with a current student. But, make sure it is your goal - I let people convince me to go pre-med and within a semester I realized there was no way I wanted to be an MD. Had I stuck to my desires instead of what someone else wanted for me and thought was a better choice, I might have been a pretty good nurse by now.
Good luck. Lots of people do it. It is much harder than when you have no kids but people do it all of the time.
If the guy is really as bad as she has us thinking,
and she could lose her current job and any future job. I am beginning to wonder if the site should start a "Support your local Jodi" page.
I'm thinking about getting the DVD, too. sm
I can't believe I didn't watch this show from the beginning. I just really started watching it this season. Now it's a must see show for me!
I really don't know what he was thinking......I just think he is
heartless and thought maybe he could leave the country and not have to come back or something??? I really don't know. I just think he put the gun back thinking he had cleaned it good and that no one would ever think to check that gun since noone knew it had been gone. As far as the computer, the porn looks bad if he is guilty but the fact is looking at porn doesn't make him guilty. On the other hand, if you take the computer then it does look like you are hiding something. He probably just didn't think about the computer....None of it makes sense to me either. I think he just killed her and then wasn't sure what to do.....
Don't know what I was thinking...
All of this is new to me. Forgive the stupid question. I get how it works now. Thanks.
Yes, I was thinking that I would...
need to gather some references, maybe a book or two. I have done some reports, but not a wide range. That is why I was hoping to get some imput from people who do psych on a regular basis.
Any references, info would be greatly appreciated :)
What are they thinking...?
I have looked into it and, quite frankly, it looks absolutely ridiculous. All these outrageous rules, especialy when a man (who came up with the theory) decided a woman shouldn't make any noise while giving birth (but she can have all the drugs she wants) and some goofball decides for his wife that's the thing to do! Go figure.
Exactly what I was thinking
Taylor was already an established entertainer, maybe not hugely successful, but already had his on stage persona established. Elliott, for example, was undiscovered and uncharted territory. Ready to be molded. I have read on the AI message board that some people just "couldn't get past the teeth". Well, uh, I think he can afford to get some work done now if he so chooses. To me a talent show should be about undiscovered talent, someone who grows tremendously during the competition. Can ya tell I'm an E fan. LOL.
I'm thinking it is because
it is just as easy to chat here on the boards?
i'm thinking you could
but don't really know about laptops. I was just looking yesterday about replacing my KVC and saw lots of variations. Could probably get your answer from one of these on-line sites or just call a local 'puter guy and see.
not sure about this, but when I was thinking-sm
about doing this, I was told I would need a program that would *transfer* the video from the camera to the computer, and I believe it is Dazzle, or something like it...once that is done, you could use your editing program. but again....not sure, as I have not actually done it. This is just what I was told. Good luck.
Thinking that may be...
one of the reasons his wife left. Not that I would hold it against him, obviously.  LOL!
What was he thinking???!!!
What a very painful thing to do to your son. He should have called you or atleast tried a more sensible approach (OTC products) to take care of the problem.
Your family physician can refer your son to a podiatrist, but most PCP's treat plantar warts right in the office with a procedure known as cryotherapy (freeze method.) It is a quick, relatively painless (some temp. burning) method that works well. In the office I work at children and adults of all ages have this done without much complaint. I would check into it. Kudos for taking pictures of his sores on his foot and sending the documentation to your attorney. Every piece of documentation counts in a situation like this.
I'm only 26 and thinking that already.
It's a shame we spend so much of our time trying to make a living, with any job really. My son is 7 now, and it is really starting to hit me that I only have so much more time with him until he is off to college.
That is what I was thinking that you could always
do something different with it as well, but you can do that with the dental too, teaching, etc.
I have read some nursing forums (there are not many I can find for the dental side) and have seen how they say they have to clock out after their 12 hours and do charts and could be working still 14-15 hours later because of the charts. That is why I am really leaning toward the dental hygienist program, but I just don't have many people that I have come across that can tell me more than the generic info I am finding on the internet.
my way of thinking
I do think of the first letter of each word when it comes to phrases ... but I have trouble remembering a lot of phrases, unless it's one that I've heard 10,000 times.
And then come the was/were combination: The wound was irrigated ... The wounds were irrigated --- The first letter for each phrase is TWWI ... so, how do I differentiate between the two?
And with IT, you're saying that you basically stare at the bottom of the screen?
I was thinking at least $26.
That's what I usually make once I'm familiar with the account. I'm in Missoula. :-)
See, that's what I'm thinking.
People start shouting about cherry picking when they have no idea what is going on with others. All you can worry about is yourself and figure what comes to you is luck of the draw. There are going to be waves of good dictators and bad, depending on who is in the hospital catching up on dictations. Some people just have to think they are getting cheated out of the good dictations is what it always sounds like to me. Nope, we are all getting crappy days and then better days.
Well, I'm not even thinking
HIPPA, I was just reading all this and remembered when I enrolled my kids in school, I was told they had to have that to make sure they were who you say they were and that you are the one that was supposed to have them! So, I was just wondering if that was true. Kind of too late now-they are both in school. What state do you live in, sm?
Maybe in your thinking, but not everyone
I've juggled both, and it worked well. You are not the norm if you can't be a Mom and have an at-home business. You must not have what it takes. I am considered a professional and so should the OP. Just because she has a baby does not give you the right to say she is giving this profession a bad name. Shame on you.
That's what I was thinking too.

I'll be talking to them more this week, after they've talked it over amongst themselves.

I am thinking
that it I would almost be better off not accepting the insurance benefits, and going with my own insurance. I was going to work for one national company. Their monthly premium was not too bad (for just my husband and I), but they had a high deductible. My husband is over 50 and he has gone with AARP, with a decent monthly premium but a high deductible ($3,000.00). My in-house transcription department was terminated in August, with the company outsourcing the transcription. I have had COBRA on myself since then. It is a high monthly premium but I have the same deductible of ($800.00). I will be 50 in March and I can go on AARP. I know the deductible is high, and insurance will probably never kick in, but we have it if there is a biggie, if you know what I mean. Just seeking opinions on this matter, because I am under enough stress in my life to have to worry about keeping insurance coverage if my production is down. TIA
