2. What's YOUR Dream Job?

   NKS82 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

   Well my dream job is paramedic. (I think I need to explain... In my country you need to study to RN (bachelor in medicine with major in nursing), work minimum a year on ED or ICU, then you're allowed to apply to paramedic course (Postgraduate Diploma...

3. Is it really that bad?

   NKS82 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

   I do my rn/bsn program in the toughest university in my country (ranked as 14th best medical university in the world). It's beyond plain torture at times, specially as I'm single mum and have two part time works too (work nights as hca/cna for my cpa...

4. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

   NKS82 replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

   I'd totally do it. I'm student nurse at the moment and commuting 4h/day to attend the nursing program I wanted to go. I've a nursing program in my city as well, but has not as good reputation as the one I'm in.

5. Dealing with a patients death

   NKS82 replied to abby.reece's topic in General Students

   I think it would be more abnormal if you didn't react. Never happened to me as RN student, but I had my first death when I was only 19, working as HCA in eldercare and found one of "my" oldies dead in his own bathroom (cardiac arrest). It was truly h...

7. Study Superstitions

   NKS82 replied to USMCRN2015's topic in General Students

   I always listen to music, same album or same playlist over and over again (sometimes just same song). Can't do another way when studying. Had this habit since ninth grade.

8. How to get back study motivation?

   NKS82 replied to NKS82's topic in General Students

   And it really doesn't help when my class mates, teachers and clinical instructors are telling me that I'm in wrong education... That I'm too smart for nursing school. *****!?!? Yes, I get very good grades in practically everything even tough I'm sing...

9. Failed my first exam!!!

   NKS82 replied to lth1123's topic in General Students

   I'm really sorry, I should have checked the facts behind. In my university we have exams (150 to 200 sata questions and an an essay to write, I'd never pass such exam with only two weeks of studies)only in the end of course, every course is ten weeks...

10. Failed my first exam!!!

    NKS82 replied to lth1123's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, maybe it's just me but " I studied everyday for two weeks." is pretty much the answer... You cant really mean that you expect to pass an exam with only two weeks of studying.

11. How far do you travel?

    NKS82 replied to JayCimone's topic in General Students

    I live 2hrs away from the uni, totally worth it. You can use those hours for studying.

12. Has anyone here handled both school and kids?

    NKS82 replied to queenofthenile's topic in General Students

    I'm doing it at the moment. I'm single mother of five (Kids are 11, 10, 8, 5 and 3. I started when my youngest was 1,5). It's really hard at times and requires extreme time management skills (and lots of night time studies), but it's definitely doabl...

13. How to get back study motivation?

    I'm second yr nursing student from Sweden, my ultimate goal is to be paramedic. (Yeah, you need to be RN and work minimum one year full time in ED or ICU before you can apply to paramedic education, which one and half year studies and training.) I'v...

    NKS82 replied to crushlush's topic in General Students
