1. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

   Gr8ful C replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

   Funny this thread should come to my attention - dh and I were talking about this the other day! I do want to help people and the profession really does interest me, but if the pay sucked, I probably wouldn't become a nurse at this point in my life. I...

3. New Members

   Gr8ful C replied to studentnurses3's topic in International

   I'm in BC where the only track available is the degree. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference between the college degrees and the University? I remember hearing years ago that diploma nurses got more practical experience, so is the ...

4. Licensing in CA and taking meds for depression???

   Gr8ful C replied to momto2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with the others that you need to go directly to the board of nursing for info on this. I had a doctor tell me that I cannot be a nurse because I have Hep C. I was so upset! This is my dream!!! I called the college of registered nurses (that ...

   Gr8ful C replied to scoobysnax's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am taking my prereqs self-paced, online, one at a time! So far so good. I am almost done my Biology requitement and then I'll do Chemistry, then I'm done enough to complete my application. I hope to get in for Sept/07, so I'll just chip away online...

6. 4th week and 2-3 students gone already

   Gr8ful C replied to bandas's topic in General Students

   Why would she start the year knowing she was about to have a baby? What a waste of tuition and a space someone else could have taken. Bizarre. :trout:

7. I Hate Scrub Pants!!!

   just a little cheter trick I want to share: if anyone is a non sewing person but needs to hem pants on a budget, you can get iron on hem tape - just cut the pant off at right length plus about an inch, then fold under and press with the hem tape insi...

8. This is an amazing forum!! Wish I would of know earlier about it.

   Gr8ful C replied to gentle02's topic in International

   I started reading about it last night because I couldn't believe that I was about to start a 4 year program to "maybe" become a nurse. The web site says 3 times in the first 24 months, then you can appeal to write again. I can't find any info on pas...

9. This is an amazing forum!! Wish I would of know earlier about it.

   Gr8ful C replied to gentle02's topic in International

   Why do nursing schools not prepare nurses to pass this test? Is that not the purpose? It just doesn't make any sense to me. If I go to 4 years of nursing school and work hard I want to know that I'll get to be a nurse after I grad!!! Am I the only on...

10. This is an amazing forum!! Wish I would of know earlier about it.

    Gr8ful C replied to gentle02's topic in International

    I just wonder why people worry so much about passing this exam. I mean, I realize how important it is, but it seems to me that if you graduate from nursing school - especially if you've done well - why wouldn't you pass? Am I being naive?

11. Working for hospitals pay nursing expenses?

    Gr8ful C replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Actually, I'm going to school in Canada, but I want to work in the US for a couple of years at some point after graduation. This is why I'm wondering if any hospitals or agencies might be desperate enough for nurses to make a tuition/work deal with m...

12. Working for hospitals pay nursing expenses?

    Gr8ful C replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hmmm...I wonder if they would let a Canadian in on that deal? When I was in California recently I met someone who works for a big hospital and she gave me her card and said call me when you're done school! LOL SHe says they're so desparate for nurses...

15. Where to live in Vancouver!

    Gr8ful C replied to ghostcat's topic in International

    Is Burnaby out of the question? Or East side Vancouver? There are some nice areas, but more expensive, I know.
