  1. Thats what I was thinking. My ultimate goal is to get to the point where I am a nurse practitioner. I know that I will be exposed to stuff all the time, even as a nurse practitioner, but I feel like it will be too a lesser degree. I just need to get ...
  2. yeh, on certain days for sure. My husband just left on deployment and he tends to have a calming effect on me. The anxiety only happens once in awhile.. ;( I duno I am dreading nursing school in the moment because I dont want to even be thinking abou...
  3. Did you have some fear when you started too?>
  4. I am really really interested in medicine/biology. I had cancer when I was 16, diagnosed my own thyroid disease and I definitely take an interest in health- Heres my problem- I get kind of crazy sometimes. I latch onto an idea and it drives me NUTS. ...
  5. What does nursing school teach you?

    Thank you so so so much for all of that Daytonite. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to post that. I'm excited when I read what I'll be learning and there has never been another possible line of study that I have ever felt that way abouT!
  6. What does nursing school teach you?

    yay!! I'm interested in all of it!! I think it is a really good sign that almost all of the stuff I may be learning actually interests me. I want to learn it.
  7. Hi guys, I was hoping you could answer one or any/all of these questions I have. I know I am being impatient and will eventually see what nursing school entails on my own, but I am curious. Thank you!!!! I have heard a lot about enormous amount of...

  9. Best patients to take (insurance wise?)

    I have tricare (hubbies Navy) and my doctor participates in Tricare Prime which means any office visit, as well as any tests he orders, are free for me. I *think* he must be getting reimbursed for everything he orders for me.. otherwise I don't see w...
  14. I know some states don't give prescription writing authority to NPs, but in the states that do, I was wondering if NPs can write their own prescriptions and order their own blood tests? I don't mean for controlled substances, like morphine or someth...
