I've been doing that now. I decided to work part time and do a full time program, because in the long run, the sooner I have a good REAL job, the less we will struggle (mind you, I do not have any children). You are legally allowed to use your studen...
I am a pre nursing student, currently (at least, that's what the school calls me - I can apply for the program itself this winter). I worked for two months in a Nursing Residence in dietary before I took a fall there. I have a herniated disk and seve...

I went through this same debate while choosing colleges, and to be honest, I got observe in a local hospital with a class. A big part of my decision to pursue nursing was that I noticed nurses seem to interact with and work with the patients on a uni...
Ive worked with this company for a month before I was injured. My own doctor won't take me because its a comp case, the only doctors who will don't listen to a word I say and are running me in circles, and the only one who made any sense was the doc ...
They say it's suicide to work full time and be in a nursing program, but realistically, there are those of us who need to work to be able to go to school (not to mention LIVE). I've found a part time day program at a local CC that I'm hoping to get i...

Thank you, I am so glad someone read this. If even one person was reminded, I'm happy. I am under twenty years old and normally strong as an ox. I have been sentenced to stay off my feet for over a week, no work, no cleaning, just rest and ice and it...

Good luck hun! I know the waiting is killer, I have to wait till march, and then hope I don't get screwed over, or it could be longer! Just don't get discouraged, time goes by faster than you know and before you know it you'll be studying your butt o...
I take many of my prereqs online. By may I should be training to become a CNA and trying to find a part time LPN program that I can work into my schedule. I took Bio in high school and enjoyed it greatly, however that was a good three or four years a...

You'll get there. I just quit a few days ago using the patch. I have a sore throat all the time, but my bp's down, and my sense of smell is returning. I have no desire to go back. Because we are addicted, we glorify cigarettes in our minds, like a ch...

Im a student too, doing my prereqs. College makes you gain weight. Good luck guys, just don't overdo it. I know I gained 30 pounds the first year of college and I'm stuglling horribly to lose them (they're really not coming off, or they are slowly) I...
I have an inflamed disk with sciatica. I work in a healthcare setting, and while it should heal in a few weeks this was my first brush with workers comp, and while it could have been worse, with the kind of injuries nurses face. I am very young and i...

I had my first at work injury recently and filed as worker's comp and am now regretting it after all the reading I've done here. I don't want to lose my job, but I'm not a nurse yet, and all I want to do is get better. I'm def scared for my job (I al...

I work in a nursing home currently, as a Dietary Aide, and what keeps me going every morning is knowing that in less than a year, I will be a Nurse Aide. I will make enough money to support myself, and I will be doing something I've been wanting to d...
prettyindecent replied to jswitch's topic in Pre-Nursing
was this easy for you guys? I'm nervous about taking A&P and I don't necessarily want to take bio. From what my online classes have been like, I tend to prefer them (my advisors hate me for it). I just figure it might be easier especially with su...
