1. Is Nursing is what I really want? [Warning: Long Rant]

   ecl4 replied to ecl4's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you guys. I kind of finally figured out what I like doing. I would like to find a job that allows me to expand my creativity and imagination, and I also like helping people. I'm not sure if many careers offer a combination of the two, I only kn...

   ecl4 replied to ecl4's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the replies so far. Sometimes I feel like I'm not pushing myself as hard. But as a highly sensitive individual, I'm not sure how the hospital setting would affect me when I constantly work there. Also, dealing with stubborn people in crimi...

   LOL Well, if the occupation is more "laid back", pays just as good, and is more hygienic in a sense, then my dad considers it a great career. :\

   I'm a nineteen years old college student who started the BSN program in January. I chose nursing because I love helping people (although I'm an introvert) even though I am putting myself at "risk". I managed to get past the first semester with medioc...

   Yeah, asian families do have it bad...But you are a nurse now, aren't you? =) Anyways, I hope you like your current job whatever it may be. Good news. My dad is allowing me to drop the courses and take Douglas Nursing next year. There is a trade off ...

   ecl4 replied to ecl4's topic in International

   Yes and no. My dad is the immigrant, but I'm the middle child of the family. My older brother is taking comp sci right now, although my dad tried to get him to take science/medicine... I should have known favouritism is everywhere. How stupid of me. ...

   Wow, the "minorities" are racist against their patients? That's sickening. It turned out that my dad did hide my acception offer. He gave it to me today because we had a big argument in the morning. He says that I should go withdraw from my courses i...

   Thanks Janfrn. Wow, picking an institute for nursing is more complicated than I thought. Now I'm being injected with rumors that Douglas professors favour particular students (which is pretty hard to believe), and that the program itself is not as s...

    ecl4 replied to ecl4's topic in International

    Thanks again. I'm not very intimidated by the racism warning (although I'm Asian). However, the only reason I am curious about working in the US is because with the health care shortages and the immense competition from the interest, I'm concerned th...

    Thanks for your reply, Fiona. I'll try to show this to my dad. However, if I were to work in the US later on, would it be better if I went to UBC? If I have to do another exam for international nursing, than I guess it wouldn't really matter.

    I just got out of high school this year, and now I'm in the department of Science at UBC Vancouver. I originally was accepted to UBC Nursing at Okanagan since the Vancouver campus stopped direct entry for nursing this year. However, my parents said t...
