   ticklemenita replied to Tesslyn's topic in Activism

   I think it is great that you are so young and thinking about your future! I decided to be a nurse as an adult and I can easily say it is the most challenging thing I have ever done. For me it was hard because I never worked in a hospital and I was sh...

   Depends on what kind of work he does. Alot of career fields have work from home options. It would be no problem to work from home if he was into customer service.

4. Please help Failed Nursing Classes

   ticklemenita replied to sweetie2525's topic in Student Assist

   A girl in my school failed but was forgiven because she recorded all her lectures and was able to defend her choice on the exam. She needed one question to pass. You can try Nassau Community College if Adelphi doesn't take you back. Good luck.

   ticklemenita replied to marcopolo's topic in General Nursing

   I am an ADN nurse and I think it is well worth it. We take the same NCLEX exam. In most cases there is a $0-$1 price difference in pay. I found a job rather quickly and feel I was adequately prepared. I passed NCLEX with 75 questions and there is rea...

   ticklemenita replied to George4life's topic in Career Support

   I say if you know you want to be an MD be an MD. If you want to be a nurse then go for it. There are options like DNP or CRNA that you could do if you wanted to stick with nursing. I love being a nurse. The downside I could think of would be nursing ...

    ticklemenita replied to Mully's topic in General Nursing
