1. Feeling discouraged

   WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am a freshman in a traditional four year BSN program. The only nursing class I'm in currently is Anatomy & Physiology, and I am really struggling with it. I had heard bad things about the professor but really had no idea how difficult the class...

   Thank you all for your advice! I really appreciate the responses

3. Nervous for nursing school

   WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Students

   I'm a senior in high school who got directly admitted to a competitive BSN program which I have decided to attend. I'll start the program in Fall 2014. I'm so excited that I got accepted, but I'm really nervous for nursing school itself. All I hear i...

4. What draws non-nurses to AN.com?

   WannabeNurse(: replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a pre-pre-nursing student but don't really give advice, just ask questions and read around a bit. I can see how it'd be annoying when nurses want a fellow nurse's advice and get people like me who are just looking around here, not experienced.

5. Is it hard to get a job if you went to school in a different state?

   WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

   The question basically says it all, but as a rising high school junior who's not exactly sure where she wants to live or go to college yet, I'm curious about how hard it is to get a job in, say, Philadelphia (CHOP is my dream workplace) if you went t...

6. Graduating high school early

   WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you for all of the responses! I'm definitely going to start prerequisites as soon as I can and will look up some gen-ed classes that are typically required by some of the colleges I want to attend. I really appreciate all the advice, thanks aga...

7. Graduating high school early

   WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Great, thank you! I'm not exactly sure what college I want to go to yet (or if I'll be able to go where I want, the schools I like all seem to cost a ton), but once I have a better idea I'll definitely meet with someone.

8. Graduating high school early

   WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Due to personal issues as well as my strong motivation to be a nurse, I will be graduating high school next year (with diploma and all) although I am now only 16. Personal issues aside, I've wanted to be a nurse since I was 8 and I really want to be ...

9. So confused

   WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

   I wanted to be a nurse from the time I was seven or so. I really thought it was what I was meant to do, you know? A calling. This year, though, I had a really tough time - I was diagnosed with slipping rib syndrome and had to have surgery to remove p...

11. Penn Nursing Summer Institute?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, phrased that badly. I want to be a nurse but am not old enough to CNA so I was curious if y'all thought this would be good experience for me, so that I could do something nursing related before becoming a CNA. Sorry about that!

12. Penn Nursing Summer Institute?

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    Found this online and it really sounds like something I'd be interested in. It does cost a lot but I have some years still left to raise money. Has anybody attended? If not, do you think it'd be good to do prior to becoming a CNA? Thanks! ~WannabeNur...

13. Volunteer work at hospital?

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    Not old enough to be a CNA but want to do something related to nursing so I can see if it's really for me, get to see what it's like, etc. I know I can't do a lot patient related but what do volunteers do? Also, do you know the volunteer age at your ...

14. Disappointing news, what can I do?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everybody for your responses and positivity! I am currently a Red Cross certified babysitter :) I'll see about junior volunteer programs at hospitals around here, and look into what I can. Thanks for the book suggestions, also! Thanks aga...

15. Disappointing news, what can I do?

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently heard that I did not get in to the medical professions high school that I had really been hoping to go to next year. That would have been a great head start so I've been kind of down. I'm fourteen. The hospitals say I am too young to volun...
