1. Pursuing Primary Care: MD vs NP

   Loux posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have posted here time and time again about my questionable future, but I've never been this unsure. As I've explained in my previous posts, I'm an 18 year old college sophomore (soon-to-be-junior) struggling to make a decision between nursing and m...

2. Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

   Loux posted a topic in NP Students

   I'm a pre-somethinghealthrelated student (I am still torn between nursing and medicine), and I want to know: Why did you choose nursing (more specifically advance-practice nursing) instead of one of its alternatives?

3. DNP vs MD: Which route is better for public health?

   Loux replied to Loux's topic in Public/Community

   My family doesn't have a huge amount of wealth, but they will be able to help me somewhat. I also plan on working to make a little extra money. Because I've heard medical school is a full-time job, I've considered working through an agency as a CNA t...

4. DNP vs MD: Which route is better for public health?

   Loux replied to Loux's topic in Public/Community

   I completely agree with what you said, but I do need to make a decision soon. If I decide nursing is for me, I need to finish my nursing pre-requisites in the next two semesters to be directly admitted to a BSN program. If not, I'll continue with my ...

5. DNP vs MD: Which route is better for public health?

   Loux replied to Loux's topic in Public/Community

   Thanks for the response! As I've posted before, there are things I love about both nursing and medicine, but ultimately, I prefer the medical model. The things I love about medicine, however, can be achieved through mid-level care, which is why I've ...

6. DNP vs MD: Which route is better for public health?

   Loux posted a topic in Public/Community

   Hello all! I have posted here a few times regarding nursing and medicine, and after my last thread, I thought I had ultimately made a decision between the two. I had decided to pursue an MD and until the past week or so, felt no ambivalence. I'm fai...

   Thank you so much. :)

8. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

   Loux replied to Loux's topic in Career Support

   I emphasized on that because the prospect of direct patient care is what's making me feel so ambivalent. I want to directly care for patients, but I also want to "cure" per se. I want to control the route of care, but I also want to execute that s...

9. Torn between Nursing and Medicine

   Loux posted a topic in Career Support

   Hello! I've posted here multiple times about dilemma I pose: my love for both nursing and medicine. I am currently a pre-nursing student, but I'm a bit hazy about my potential future as a nurse. I love the nursing model; I want to care for a patient,...

10. Has anyone attended the LPN program at DCMO BOCES?

    Loux replied to Loux's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thanks so much Lindsey! I think I've decided to take the nine months that I would've spent on the LPN program to finish as many pre-reqs as possible to get direct admission to a BSN program.

11. I have my first interview ever! Any advice?

    Loux replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't found anything out, so I called personnel to check the status of the position. I spoke with the second person I interviewed with and he told me they didn't reach a decision yet. I'll be waiting yet again!

    I think (and hope) it went good! They called me back for a second interview on Friday and told me they'd reach a decision by Monday, which is now tomorrow. :) I'll be anxiously awaiting a response to say the least, lol.

    Loux replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks again everyone. :) My interview is tomorrow! I've been prepping since Sunday, so hopefully all goes well. Does anyone know if you usually find out the status of your potential employment right after the interview or if you have to wait a bit ...
