1. This can't be what it's all about, can it?

   JustDes replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

   I just realised this is in general nursing, I'm so sorry! I was trying to get into general students discussion. I TRULY did not intend to offend anyone.

2. This can't be what it's all about, can it?

   JustDes replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

   I'm not the greatest at getting my point across on the internet, let me try again: I care about our older generation as much as the younger generation. However, as a (hopefully) future nurse, I would like variation. Seeing nurses with all this down t...

3. This can't be what it's all about, can it?

   JustDes posted a topic in General Students

   I work at a hospital as a cna (on tele), it's not big, but not small either. I'm in school for my RN now. I want to help people, I want to challenge myself and learn. I care about others, I really do. Most of our patients (a good 90%) are over 70 yea...

4. How many use a car for class/clinicals?

   JustDes replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

   I will be taking our car to class and clinicals. We live 45 miles away, out in the country, there's no biking or taking a bus option.

5. How bad will this be

   JustDes replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

   You can do it. I too have 4 children and last semester I took 18 units and made the deans list. It's hard to make it all work out with the craziness 4 kids can bring, but if you want it bad enough you will figure out a way. I have younger kids, so I ...

6. Landed a job at a hospital

   JustDes replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the replies. This is my first cna job so I'm a little nervous. I'm just going to soak up as much as I can and work as hard as I can. Thanks again!

   My grandmother is 72 years young and is still a working LVN! You don't have to stop just because you hit retirement age!!

8. ADN class of 2013

   JustDes replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

   I can't wait to start. It will be the craziest and most rewarding 16 months (other then my kids, of course)!

9. Age and Nursing School

   JustDes replied to NursingGCW's topic in General Students

   The program director stated the average student in our program was in their mid 30's and had 2 children. The majority that I have met our either early 20's or late 40's. I feel stuck in the middle and like I don't belong. I'll be 27 with 4 children w...

11. Landed a job at a hospital

    JustDes posted a topic in General Students

    I accepted a job as a CNA part time on the med/surg floor last week. Today I went to HR and they informed me I was actually working on telemetry and would be floating to ICU PRN. I'm so nervous, I wasn't expecting this. The hospital is where I want t...

    JustDes replied to clucito01's topic in General Students

    What area of kansas are you in? I tried since December of last year to get a cna job at a hospital, and I just accepted a job offer yesterday. What about trying for a prn or float position? Are there any Ltc facilities connected to hospitals in your ...

13. Nrsg student can't find a job...

    JustDes replied to mendezs12's topic in General Students

    I noticed in my quest to find a job, that employers were almost turned off by the fact I was starting nursing school. I had one flat out tell me they wouldn't hire me because she couldn't spend the time and money to train me, just to have me quit or ...

14. How many semesters is your program?

    JustDes replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

    I totally understand. The pre-reqs for my program were suppose to be 3 semesters, then the school is 5. But with this program, you can't start unless all pre-reqs are done. I think it's better that way!

15. Do you like the uniforms they give you for your school?

    JustDes replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    Ours is royal blue tops and bottoms, all white shoes, a blue polo, and lab coat. All tops have the nursing school logo and name on them. I really don't want to wear the polo's, but it's no big deal. I just wish I new what style and brand we are suppo...
