I took my time with RN school started in Associates Program made Dean's List but didn't like that others were being cut for staying home with sick kids as an example. So my decision was to finish my college courses drop the RN program and then take Nursing by itself which I did. First Class of RN for Diploma in hospital setting. They were very tolerant of absenses due to above. Only had to attend three days a week so wasn't stressful. We had a great time met our patients the night before doing our clinicals. When graduated given a choice as second best to work in L&D or full time Psych Days at another hospital. I chose that. But decided might lose my skills so switched to a Union Hospital and worked three days evenings 3-11 and got full time benefits all paid for. If we got sick the ER promptly saw us and provided free care. If I needed more money I asked at the beginning of my shift if another was needed later and always was so got Double time and hence full time pay. I also floated different floor each time worked and didn't have to get involved in the Politics. I had half a floor to be responsible for. But two years later moved to VA and there only had 4 patients a piece of cake after having about 24. So for me RN work was easy. I had learned to carry a heavy load in CT and then wow what a surprise a very nice one!!! Phillipa
