[QUOTE="Fran, post: 88157, member: 3"] Lisa, remind easy child that medication school won't accept her if she is fired for poor nursing practice. Missing a medication is a big deal. Being written up is a big deal. If she is over tired mistakes will happen and/or she will over react to correction. I can't even fathom full time work with full time school with a toddler. It's the craziest thing to think a crash won't happen. She may be an over achiever in her mind but the limits of this intellectually and physically are very real. School part time, work part time may be the answer until her batteries recharge. The theory of Supermom/wife/employee/student all at the same time are a myth and not something one should aspire to anyhow. The amount of sleep she is getting isn't healthy. As a nurse she should know about the limits of one's body. Shouldn't she be highly regarded in the work she does? Even if she is getting incorrectly pegged as a problem employee, she needs to deal with it and make a reasonable decision about what to do to correct it. Walking out is not a good choice without understanding consequences. It can follow her. Sometimes a new job and a fresh start is a better way to go but she has to realize the highest paying jobs are the ones that are most physical, most demanding and one's other don't want to do. Maybe a less stressful job will help her out a bit. I would probably ask her if she sees choices for herself and how she will achieve her goals. She is a smart girl and a hard worker but now she needs to work on problem solving, wisdom and planning. [/QUOTE]
