   Stever01 replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

   Music is what keeps me awake during any long drive at night when I'm exhausted, but I'm not just talking about loud music. You have to find the CD/mixtape that gets you going, if that makes sense. I generally listen to whatever is on mainstream radio...

   I live in Joplin, I feel so helpless, everything is gone. I helped load three bodies in the back of a truck last night. I can't sleep, search and rescue will be going on for days. I can't get a hold of many friends, but luckily my family is okay. If...

   Ive been keeping up with open positions in my hometown of Springfield, MO even though I'm a pre-nursing student. CoxHealth has recently announced it's hiring 250 new positions, from nonclincal to clinical, so I'm not for sure how many are nursing pos...

7. What would you do?

   Stever01 replied to Stever01's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the replies! I live in Missouri, I've looked into the requirements and I do not have to have to be a CNA. This is a part of the reason why I'm so conflicted. The only reason why I'm considering this is because of the huge financial burden...

    Thanks so much for all of the advice! I guess I've just been feeling pressured to plan out my whole entire life by both family and friends. I'm going to look into all of the suggestions that were mentioned, I'd never even heard of ambulatory nursing....

    Stever01 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm an 18 year old pre-nursing student going after a BSN. I can see myself being a nurse, I've thought about it ever since I was a little kid. However, I just recently declared. I tried to stay away from it because there are so many "what if" type qu...
