   tishluvnc replied to ErikEverhard's topic in Career Support

4. Can you throw out some career options for the fields i am interested in?

   tishluvnc replied to confused256's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel your confusion. I got into cna just because it was easy to obtain a job. I've been in home health for years. Long enough to do half a degree in medical office administration, one semester in a BSW program, and now about to graduate with a BA i...

5. Are there many health educators in medical facilities

   tishluvnc replied to tishluvnc's topic in General Nursing

   The only part of social work I feel I would like is the counseling. I could be wrong, I shadowed a lcsw at a mental health agency and they all seemed to sit behind a desk most of the day. Some of them did home visits, I thought the environment was so...

   Hello all nurses, I'm very interested in health and wellness. I can vision myself providing a patient one-on-one counseling on their disease or condition. I can also see myself educating teens on health issues or working with the elderly. I'm extream...

7. Are shy and quiet people not allowed to be nurses?

   tishluvnc replied to sunnyskies2's topic in Relations

   You sound some what like me, though I have to say that life over a period of time can change you somewhat. I still donot like to be the center of attention but I have learned that people take advantage of some people. If you looked like a person that...

11. Do any of the nurses here working 40 hr weeks and going to school, have children?

    tishluvnc replied to Glowinthedark's topic in General Nursing

    This is also an issue of mine. I'm single with a four year old and can't see how I can manage nursing school. One clinical spot is almost 45 miniuts away straight shot. My mother has been my hubby and she has blessed me to finish up a degree in socio...

    tishluvnc posted a topic in North Carolina

    O.k I am thinking about continuing my nursing career. I have been a cna for years and after a ba in sociology with a minor in substance abuse. I feel academically a MSW material doesn't excite me like science does. My dream would be a public health ...

14. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center

    tishluvnc replied to KARRN's topic in North Carolina

    It doesn't shock me. I've heard bad things about working there as a nurse. I had my children there and everything was o.k., but I don't think they treat their nurses good. An ER nurse did tell me that if you can make it there you can make it anywhere...
