   niubiochem replied to niubiochem's topic in General Nursing

   Ive actually done a lot of volunteering at the local hospital and took a CNA course with clinicals. Im good with people and i enjoyed it. I can see it being stressful tho, and even though it pays well, it's not worth the paycheck if that's all a pe...

2. PRN Nurse and High school teacher? Insane?

   niubiochem replied to niubiochem's topic in General Nursing

   To be honest, Im more passionate about teaching than nursing. However, the reality is that alot of teachers work 2nd jobs to boost their income. They dont make much. I have a few friends that i graduated with who went into teaching and they supplem...

   niubiochem replied to niubiochem's topic in General Nursing

   Im not particularly interested in the generic MSN option. When i go back someday for my masters, it will likely be specialized. My passion is teaching the science background,... but not necessarily nursing. Really, I am naturally gifted with high s...

   niubiochem replied to coopsc1's topic in Illinois

   Hey Scott, I think you'll be fine working, but every person is different. I worked about 25 hours/week with no problems. I really didnt study at all and still passed with B's. I wouldnt suggest doing that, but I had lost all ambition to continue m...

   niubiochem replied to coopsc1's topic in Illinois

   Aww, that's a bummer and a blessing at the same time Kathyz. I feel bad that you didnt get in like you wanted, but take my word, the program is not well organized and most (not all) of the faculty are very unpleasant to be around. They treat you li...
