1. Terrified of Math?

   timster1984 replied to DaFreak71's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hmm, if that many people have trouble with math I'm wondering whether I should do math tutoring at the college...especially once I finish my next algebra class I'd be able to tutor intermediate algebra and below. It seemed really easy to me so I'm wo...

2. Taking that First Step!

   timster1984 replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah that must be it, I'm going to a community college right now...blech. Talk about a difference in price. Well good luck!

3. Taking that First Step!

   timster1984 replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in Pre-Nursing

   And here I was complaining about $250.00 for books and $400.00 for tuition for four classes...I need to shut my mouth, eesh! That's expensive.

4. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

   timster1984 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Career Support

   After reading all these posts I can't help but agree with something my EMT friend Paul said, since he's planning to go into nursing himself. I mentioned all the negative stuff I've heard and showed him this thread, and his response was that the large...

5. I am getting fired:(

   timster1984 replied to Danianne's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's ridiculous for him to do that. I don't know how it is for the rest of you guys but it's "at will" employment here in California but that doesn't mean that they can fire you for anything. The only time an employer can do that and get away with ...

6. Jobs that accommodate school...gotta eat!

   timster1984 replied to artistnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think any state/government ran college like a state university or community college has a work study program of some sort don't they? It's a federal program so I would imagine they do...

8. Enjoying your break?

   timster1984 replied to RDH-NrsgStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I dunno, I'm honestly actually bored, lol. I can't wait to go back to school just so I have something to do...kind of sad, especially since I /know/ im going to be wishing I did have some sort of break once I'm in medical school. Oh well, you don't a...

9. What is wrong with me????

   timster1984 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Career Support

   I can definitely agree with everyone that anxiety or indecision is unique to nursing students or abnormal, I think from all walks of life people are going to deal with that since it's uncertainty of change that always makes someone pause before they ...

10. As bad as they say??

    timster1984 replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Career Support

    This has actually reminded me to ask this question now that I'm reading over this thread. It sounds like it won't be nearly as bad as shell shock as it might be in other states since I live in California, but if I did decide to do nursing, how bad ar...

12. Question about ambulatory nurses?

    timster1984 replied to timster1984's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah I tried calling the school today but with all the holiday stuff I don't know if I'll get an answer until the next semester starts. Generally the people at my college don't know anything at all anyways. My college has some good teachers and it's ...

    timster1984 replied to timster1984's topic in Pre-Nursing

    thanks for looking it up day, yeah i visited the nremt web site but couldn't exactly find what i was looking for. it sounds like my friend needs to be more specific on finding a nationally certified course versus a county certified one...it's startin...

14. Question about ambulatory nurses?

    timster1984 replied to timster1984's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh this is so confusing, agghhh!! Is anyone here presently or formerly an EMT who could help me out on this? I'm trying to find out if the EMT course at my college qualifies as a "real" one as my friend in southern Cali told me to look for, because h...

15. Question about ambulatory nurses?

    timster1984 replied to timster1984's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Right on, that sounds encouraging! The only thing I'm wondering about is the EMT basic course at the local college is state certified but I noticed that AMR only hires nationally certified EMTs, and I'm not sure if the EMT basic course here is nation...
