Yes I'm a very patience person. My 7 year old is ADHD and I've learned to be patient. 
That is good to know your hubby works in a Nursing Home and enjoys it. The Nursing Home I'll be working for is a nice one. I did my Clinicals at this one in October and really enjoyed my time with the Elderly people. Some of them are so sweet!!! Two of the nice ones died after Thanksgiving in the unit I worked in and that was sad to hear yesterday.
This a career move for me until I get into my RN program at school. In the mean time I plan to learn as much as I can.

Yes Kandee I have my Gate Belt ready!!! 
My plan is to work for the hospital, but I have to have CNA experience at the Nursing Home first. The hospital offers classes and my goal is to become a CNA Tech. while waiting to get into Nursing School.
My patient load will be 6 - 8 patients.

Krazee, DAH-LING, tell me how beautiful the weather is down there, won't you? Go ahead, I can take it.
IT'S FREEZING UP HERE! I swore when we moved here from HOT KAHLIFORNIA I'd never complain of the weather! After all, now, when I get a hot flash, all I have to do is step outside for a second. Well, Girlfriend, I wouldn't dare step outside for a NANO-second now! -- I wouldn't be able to get back inside! It's that damned arctic air blowing down from Canada! Honestly, I've never been so cold in my life.
So go ahead, DAH-ling, tell me -- it's beautiful down there, ain't it? Damn. I've been up here for 3 years now, and this is the first time I've regretted it. Hubby slipped on the ice yesterday and landed on his elbow and head. I almost slipped, but slid my way to the gym instead of walking, and I made it with no mishap. VERY scary, DAH-LING!
What's "Damiani"? Is that sweet stuff? What a wuus.

"Just curious what IBS under control means" is not a dumb question at all! I'm amazed any of you can work at all with IBS. I had a great job, working with great people who cared about me and who I liked -- but the IBS was my undoing; I couldn't keep calling in sick. All of you out there who can work with this AMAZE me!

Bev you poor thing!!! I was born and raised in WI and grew up a Farm. It didn't matter how cold it was we still had to get up and take care of those animals. Brrrrrrrrr!!! And I'm still not use to cold weather.
We lived in TX for three years and this is our third winter back in WI and my husband and I still ask each other why did we moved back to WI? So what if it gets up to 100 degrees for weeks at a time - it is still easier to cool off than to warm up.

Oooh, yeah. I forgot. That IS the downside of working for a nursing home. There's a daily visit from the local ambulance service. You have to put up a sort of hard shell so as not to dwell on it.

Bev if I suffered with D I couldn't work either. I have the opposite problem. The number one draw back for me was the pain it caused after 7 days of no BM. If I go every other day I'm thrilled and I'm not C anymore, which means no pain with the BM. If I do have dairy products it will start the C cycle again.

I LOVE WI...used to spend all my summers in northern MN......but NOT ever in the winter. I grew up in Phx, AZ where it's hot, hot, hot!!!
Spent some time in TX but oh the humidity.........Think I like CA better. I have to go to Austin when I want to visit my daughter and enjoy it but never more than a week at a time and not in the summer.
Barb, I SO admire you and your taking on the new job and going after your RN, and raising your boys....
You must be very calm and caring to raise one with ADHD...and now work in a nursing home. I have a grandson that is ADHD....comes to visit in the summer from FL. Drives us nuts if not on "his pill"........if I had him long enuf at one time I'd try on a gluten free diet.
Once you start your new job and studies you're not going to have much time for these boards, but know that you are in our thoughts and we wish you all the best on this journey to a new career!!!! 
Kandee
