1. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

   maps4care replied to basid786's topic in General Students

   I am sorry for what happened to you. If I were you, I wouldn't blame the nurse, but the instructor. It is unusual to dismiss students from the nursing programs (especially if you are paying), unless the student's performance is very poor. Usually the...

   It was the most stressful week of my life, but at the end I got my price: my name on BON followed by my licence number. YES, I PASSED! I AM AN RN!!! It's a good feeling.

   The brn webside was not updated during the holiday. I called them up and listen to a recording stating that they will not operate during the holiday, but resume the following Monday at 0800. Also, the webside clearly states: last update July 2, 2008....

   Thanks to all of you. I took my test and had a B.

6. Will I be too old for nursing school?

   maps4care replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

   Only 35? You have 2 choices: become an RN and work for at least 25 years or be a mom and give up your dream. One day your kids will grow up and leave and you will be really too old to go to nursing school. Go for it! I am doing it! I am 42 and not a...

9. I need some serious advice here!!

   maps4care replied to lacnola's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Go for it! You also have to consider that you could get into the program on your next try. I did not get in for 2 years and on my 3rd try i was #5 in waiting list. Now I am almost done! If you have to wait one year you can take advantage of this and ...

11. Quitting after 4 months.....

    maps4care replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in New Nurse

    Don't quit, just change unit! I am sure you can find something less stressful and more suitable for you. Probably working in Peds will be better. There is so many jobs out there. You could be a school nurse and only worry about have enough band-aids ...

12. Tired of impaired nurses

    maps4care replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously she is not impaired (she knows exactly what she is doing). I thing you did everything you could. Be very careful, because your job could be on the line, too. If they know about the problem and don't do nothing about it, probably it is becau...

    maps4care replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Med-Surg

    I took care of an 80 year old pt. At the end of my day I was going to her room to say goodbuy to her, when I heard that she was talking about me to another nurse. She was telling her how nice I was, how good care I took of her, and that God should be...
