  4. shaky hands?

    Hey! I've posted in here for awhile and thought about going into nursing once I get my undergrad degree in psychology. I have problems with regulating blood sugar at times; I have to eat every 3-5 hours (at the most!) or I wil become very shaky, naus...
  5. rehabilitation in the NICU

    Hi! I'm an undergraduate student with a psychology major. I haven't been sure of what I wanted to do and I ended up on this forum because I was interested in nursing. Reading about the NICU in this forum, something about this work has really caught m...
  6. On Thursday my Grandpa called my Dad and said he needed to go to the hospital because he didn't feel well. We decided to have an ambulance come for him so that EMTs could watch over him on the trip to the hospital. Upon arrival a CAT scan found that ...
  7. Crazy hours

  8. Hardest things to deal with in NICU...

    Thank you for the info. I am interested in providing family support/mental health, maybe in the form of a support group or something, if I ever become a nurse.
  9. Please help!

  11. The bad stuff

    Thank you guys so much for telling me your experiences and stories. I'm definitely going to be shadowing at my local hospital's NICU when I go home this summer so I can see a bit first hand. Overall, it sounds like an amazing field, but a difficult ...
  12. The bad stuff

    Hi. I am a senior in college about to graduate with a psychology major. I've thought about nursing for several years, and just recently I've thought a great deal about neonatal nursing. I do have some concerns, however. I am a very sensitive person, ...
  13. 99 Balloons - Warning. You'll probably cry your eyes out.

    Wow. I cried my eyes out! I've been thinking very seriously about being an NICU nurse, but after watching this I don't know if I can do it.
  14. Doctors blackballing NPs/DNPs

    Truthfully, I think that the PAs have a better educational model for existing in the medical world, but I do think that the holistic nature of nurse training is useful. My main reasoning for wanting to be an NP rather than a PA was because my interes...
