I THINK I AM SCR%WED!

You could always charge for some one-on-one counseling...

My biggest fear is also my NCLEX, and the clock ticking on that one. I am beside myself thinking I may have wasted the last 3 years by putting everything into school and for nothing. But like I said, I'm trying not to give up hope.

It's not for nothing. It will be everything. Don't you DARE give up hope. relax..If only for tonight. Sleep on it, than look again tomorrow.

While I am waiting for a few calls back on - say a quick pray to St. Anthony. He finds every thing. I like Tony, Tony look around something sprecial can't be found. Did you check your notebooks and books from school? and your glove compartment. Also I know that you live in Ohio, but where? That will help when my contacts get back to me.

I'm near Columbus. Trust me, I have checked everywhere. I'm hoping it jumps up and bites me. 2 weeks ago I was late for work because I could not find my keys for anything! Spent almost 2 hours looking for them. And I looked down at the front pocket of my purse, (which I SWEAR I looked in 3 times) and there were my car keys! I don't know if I can get that lucky again. But I am hoping! I really do appreciate your help!

I always thought that you could get hired on as a GN until you passed your boards, with a time limit given to you of course. But when I checked the board of nursing's website, it said that you can not get a permit to do this, only if you are already licensed in another state and coming to Ohio.

Also, I think I remember a clinical instructor saying that you hold the title of CNA until you pass your boards. But I am having no luck with finding such facilities. I do have a job offer, but can not start until I take the NCLEX. Which right at this point looks like it isn't going to happen anytime soon, which sucks, it is a really decent paying position.

One of my contacts told me to tell you to try the nursing homes in the area and also the visiting nurse association. The VNA hire for home health care and you could do it on a prn basis. Another suggestion was to call the nearest hospital and check if the psych unit needs a sitter. Up here in Cleveland you can make as much as $20.00 an hour just sitting with a patient. And my contact said to call the local hospital - the nursing board website is going by the book - the hospitals are desperate for people who are willing to work and many will hire cna's.

THANKS! LOL at the psych, I work in the mental health field. I will also look into the visiting nurse :D association.

Hey, you can sit with my tardy ho ass and I will pay you $5 an hour. Sorry, until The Tardy Ho Show takes off, I'm kind of strapped for cash. I need hang out at the truck stop earlier and earned a little extra cash for you :roll:

I will hit the truck stop with you, mishele. I think we can bail Steelers out of this.

Sounds good, gots to gets me another shower so my pits don't stick :shock:

Ain't nuthi'n like my tardy ho sistas help'n out!

Okay, sista's meet at the truck stop. I'm wearing my pirate costume tonight. They call me Captain BJ!

I'm gonna be Robin Hood. I am the princess of..never mind. :oops:

This is too funny! I just had to share this with my tardy ho sisters this morning. Hubby and I got up early this morning so I decided to take him out to breakfast for Father's Day. I asked where he wanted to go and he actually said the truck stop!! LOL! So that's where we had breakfast this morning and the food is actually good. They didn't recognize me without all of my costumers though :lol:

Did you at least tell him you were taking a "restroom break", I mean you could've squeezed a jon in there, 2 minutes tops!

I'm worn out from last night :shock: Plus, hubby said he was gonna start pimpin' himself out on his breaks at work to gets ya some extra money. He wants to be a tardy ho too! :wink:

Awesome, tardy hos do NOT discriminate!

He's got a great butt so he should get plenty of action! :)

On a more serious note, Steelers, I've been thinking about you this afternoon. Any luck finding the receipt? I wish I had more points to donate. :cry:

Uggggggggggggg! NO! :( I'm gonna send in an extra payment, it will be TOUGH, but it is too far into this 13 and sooooooooo close to discharge, I just keep praying that something good will happen. It seems when we get through one storm, we get just enough time to rest to prepare for the next one around the corner, because there is always another one waiting.

I robbed Paul to pay Peter, and now I think I might have to pawn Peter's pipe. :(

:( Let me see if I can think of anymore ideas!

both peter and paul where disiples of one great who makes all storms and a way out. look for the light where it is the most darkest and that will be your way out.

How about donated points? Are they helping any?

YES! They are! And I appreciate it very much, I don't think people really realize how much I do appreciate it! :D I am very thankful. :D

I donated points to you last night. Did you get them?

Tsacgiv had me help her donate all her points to you this morning also . . . . You should've got those this morning too . . . . .

No Goudah, I didn't. I last had nearly 10500 points, majority were donated to me. When I logged a few minutes ago it was dropped to 7700, now at about 7900 from what I've just posted. That is why I said I was missing 2700 points because this morning it was nearly 10500 points and like I said when I logged back on it was 7700 exactly. Don't know what happened. I really appreciate the points being donated, I really do, it upsets me that people donated and now points are missing. And alot of points at that.

Especially when you really need them. That was very nice of Tania to donate her points :-)

Yes, THANK YOU TANIA, and everyone else who helped out. I can not tell you how much it really is appreciated. I believe in giving back what was given to you and in the future I will do the same for others. Pay'n it forward. :D

Steelers,

I donated the last of my points to you. I hope that helps! You'll always be my tardy ho sista!!

Hey Steelers, still trying to put this together? You can have all of my points, sorry to say it isnt much, but I am going to donate them all to you this evening. Hope it helps, even if just a little bit!

EDIT--just sent you 3,113 points--I know the totals have been a little wierd, just so you know what to expect in case it looks wierd again.

Thank you skydivr7673, this does help, and I can not say thank you enough to member of this forum. I don't think I could say thank you enough. And I will return the favor to anyone in need. Thank you.

Try the money order company..
As a nurse I know how it expensive it can be to get going but as a single mom having to raise three alone with financial help..there is a silver lining..believe me..been there..chap 13 and all.good luck and you're in my prayers..

Steelers...I don't know how many points I have...can't be much cause I'm so new...but your more than welcomed to them...I need someone to tell me how to get them to you though...I can't beleive the place where you bought the MO has no way to trace it?

Steelers,

Check with local hospitals. The Nursing Board sucks, they go by the book only. I work in a hospital in HR and we will hire you in as a PCT (CNA), once you sit for the NCLEX and pass, we will reimburse you for the testing fees. Make some calls and see if anyone around you does that.
