thank you everyone for your insight. I do enjoy "paperwork" as much as I enjoy patient care, so that part would be fine with me. Especially good observations about sometimes lower level healthcare...

Wow, MoopleRN. Someone's cheerios got ****** in this morning. No need to be a giant turd, especially when you obviously did not understand what I wrote. First, yes, I am seriously qualified...

I think just for the kids sake it would be good for them not to be left without a parent. There's something to be said about the security of always have a parent there through the night.

My daugher. The thought that one day I won't have to skip meals so she can have all of hers. So by the time she gets into school she won't be the kid in class who gets made fun of because her...

Thanks everyone! That pt comment is classic!

I am posting here specifically to hear from nurses, so pls don't move! I am in pre-nursing (with a previously unrelated BA) working in the hospitality industry full time. I want to be in the...

no. you will not. If you can do what you did to get your HS diploma and get to where you are....literally girl, you can do anything you want to do. You have what it takes to do it. If you aren't...

I just have to toot. I am not, really really did not think I was a math/science type. However, nursing and the medical field have facinated me since childhood. I read PDRs and other nerdy stuff...

I am specifically posting this in the Nursing forum to get advice from actively practicing nurses, so please don't move! I have heard some recommend online ADN-BSN programs from those...

Do you only work 7-3, 7-7, 3-11, 11-7? Or do you have to bounce back and forth between all these shifts? Do you have a weekly schedule with chosen days off? Do you get it in advance? Do you get...

I see a lot of day shift vs. night shift on these boards and was wondering what people define those shifts as. Days I get...it's obviously during the day. Nights...are mid shifts classified as...

I have a two year old (4 kids! wow!) and work full time, go to school part time. I sit down on sundays and schedule out my week. Study time, work, one hour/day exclusive mommy daughter time (more...

How many hours a week do you part timers devote to school? I am doing my pre-reqs now, devoting 20-30 hours a week to school. Unless I cut my work hours back, I don't know if I can add any more...

I loved CNA school, but the clinicals left a bad taste in my mouth. My preceptor didn't speak english (which I loved because I am trying to learn their language), but because of that I feel like I...

I saw it in London (or maybe one like it?) about ten years ago. AMAZING. Really solidified my interest in medicine and set me on the path to NS. If you haven't seen it, RUN, don't walk...eat ramen...

I did well in my CNA course and clinicals. One who helped the others and loved doing it. I am getting a high A in Anatomy and Physiology (but putting the time in for it) and loving the course...

Thank you! You explained it really well. I always feel like I should be "doing" something. I feel better, at least I know that I'm not alone in this experience. I just wanted to see if anyone...

btw I'm only in school part time, pre-nursing. I LOVE it and can't wait to begin a program, also part time. Working through it. I manage to fit in 20-30 hours of study a week between work and...

I work full time, go to school part time, have a two year old with all the fun responsibilities. I am having issues with feeling guilty when I take time away from work and school for myself or my...

wow. I hope to God my nurse or any of my co-workers are not using pot. There is just no reason for it. The "what you do on your off time is none of your business" is a load of crap when you are a...

I don't understand why the families of patients are entitled to snacks or food anyway. Of course, aside from the one attending the critically ill. Doesn't that drive costs up? Are these people...

This is inspiring everyone! It sounds like NS will be a good fit as well, because as I'm learning these things in my pre-reqs my mind wanders to clinical applications of the info. It's like putting...

I would be an RN (ADN) with the intention of working towards my BSN, then MSN. I would like to hear LPN comments as well, since that pathway to RN may be an option for me in the future. Ideally,...

Thanks everyone for your feedback! It's helping me get an idea of what to expect. Shade43, did your estimations include the amount of time spent in class or is there additional time added onto...

Let me preface this with I AM going to do this, it's just a matter of how. It's also a matter of being realistic and prepared with my expectations. I know the job market is poor for new grads. ...
