1. "When you are a nurse you will always have a job."

   buttons93 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So people say "When you are a nurse you will always have a job." I feel very discouraged because sometimes it doesn't matter who you are, what your qualifications are, how bad you want something, how hard you have worked for your grades, or how good ...

3. Discouraged Pre-Nursing Student

   buttons93 replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with the burnout part! In Chem. I just COULD NOT pay attention or retain information for the life of me. I took it (5 unit class) along with 15 other units. Yep, 20 units total my second semester in college, and I had two jobs and was busy we...

   buttons93 posted a topic in Career Support

   Okay I live in California and we have some "top notch" schools such as UCLA and SDSU (so I hear). I am attending a community college and am working towards an ADN, then RN to BSN at 1 of 7 schools I will apply to. My question is, does it really matte...

   I have been wanting to write this thread for awhile! I just want to say to all high school seniors applying to college to be a nurse and all pre-nursing students applying to nursing school: DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY RUMORS! The biggest thing that bot...

   Yep it's up to you. There is a lot to think about. I got accepted to Saint Mary's College of California and I chose the community college that I am at now over the oh so prestigious Catholic private school that I go accepted to. I don't regret it bec...

9. Studying long hours

   buttons93 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   YES!! This was very true in my EMT class. I studied NREMT prep-questions and when I came across a question about something that I didn't fully understand THEN, and only THEN, I cracked open the book. Other than that, I relied on what I already knew t...

10. Studying long hours

    buttons93 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I MAKE myself not study for more than 2 hours at a time. I walk away, get a snack, maybe go to the gym, or take a nap, then come back, quickly review, then move on. It also helps me to study the things that I struggle with first. Then I quickly revie...

11. How can a ASN program be 2 years if you have to take prereqs and nursing classes?

    buttons93 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am in an ASN program that can take 4 years (if you finish your pre-reqs. in 2 years, then its 2 years of nursing, but there is one semester wait, so it could technically take 4.5 years). I know what you mean about it being the EXACT same length as ...

    buttons93 replied to DarkLotus's topic in CNA/MA

    True true true! There was a nursing student at my school that worked as an EMT on the weekends. He thought he could tough it out and come to clinicals early Monday morning after a 48 hour shift. He got cut because he was late or just too exhausted to...

13. Should I become an EMT?

    buttons93 replied to DarkLotus's topic in CNA/MA

    I got my EMT about a month ago and it has been hard for me to find a job. Part of the reason why it is so hard for me is because I am 19 and most ambulance companies don't hire under 21. I am still applying wherever I can. Then again, a lot of times ...
