5. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

   N.S.46 replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't started my clinicals yet but I'm nervous even though I used to work as a nursing asst. I'm afraid I'm going to be a little "out of place" being an older student nurse. Could some of you give your advice, opinions and/or experience with "o...

   N.S.46 replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It seems like we are all sailing on the same ship. I, too, stress about my grades. I absolutely MUST get that "A". We need to lighten up on ourselves or we will be burnt out by the time we get to the nursing program. But on the other hand, it show...

   Thanx to all of you for the suggestions. I hope the person who started this thread will post it all together when it's complete. As a nurse wanna-be & a previous patient on a few occasions with IV's, I would like to contribute. This was stated be...

9. Why is it "Med/Surg?" Why aren't they separated?

   N.S.46 replied to ljds's topic in Med-Surg

   The hospital I worked at combined the two. Though we did get more medical than surgical, when we did get surgical, it was usually 2nd day post-op. I know the nurses weren't happy when we got surgical pts, either pre or post-op.

12. Pre Reqs

    N.S.46 replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Career Support

    I agree with the other poster. Make sure the credits from the tech school will transfer, most do not. I would stick with the community college or see below. If you want to take CNA classes, the Red Cross offers them at a much lower cost than a tech s...

13. Financial Assistance for Students with an interest in nursing?

    N.S.46 replied to Priddyeyez's topic in General Students

    Check around at your local banks. Some do offer student loans. I don't know any specifics but it wouldn't hurt to call around & ask. You certainly don't need the added stress of financial worry on top of classes.

    N.S.46 replied to Priddyeyez's topic in General Students

    As far as I know, it doesn't matter if you are an out-of-state student. I would go to the financial aid dept. & talk with them. You can also check your local banks. This is how I got my loans, go to http://www.FAFSA.ed.gov This should be of ...
