Become a Nurse without Nursing School

Published

Anyone know of any opportunities abroad to become a nurse thru apprenticeship rather than thru traditional education?

(I'm fed up with looking for accelerated programs, having to meet bogus requirements, etc. I'd rather just do on-the-job training for 3/4 the pay in some other country. Anyone know of anything like this?)

I've actually gotten some nasty PM's too.

Thank goodness! I'm glad it wasn't just me getting the nasty PMs.

No, I think the full moon is out this week. There sure has been a bunch of weird posts.

Oh yes! Two of the craziest lately to me were the "camming" and the "why can't I use the user name Nurse JohnDoe if I'm in nsg school" 🌝

Isn't that why there is youtube? Just type in "how to insert central line in 5 easy steps"

I couldn't find one that had the "5 easy steps" in the title. How dare you give me incorrect information. You're so mean. Yada yada yada whatever.

Seriously though, they're on there. I looked.

Short answer?

No.

As a nurse you are continually expected to upskill, if you are looking for short cuts at the undergrad stage, perhaps its not the right career

I haven't gotten any PMs. Waaahhhh no one loves me!! Your all a bunch of mean bullies!!! Just because I passed Boards on my first try, have actually worked as an RN for 36 years and am an official COB, I get kicked to the curb. I'm telling!!! 😀

anyone else loving the fact that we are now over 100 posts in on a thread that the OP has completely disappeared for? I only wish there were a way now to let people know to not bother to actually answer the OP, lol, as the only one who should take him seriously is..... HIM! :)

Did you see the registered nurse, pharmacology exam thread?

WellThatsOod, I've been enjoying your name, thinking that it was "Well, That's Odd." But I'm just now realizing that it's not "odd," it's "ood."

Is that a typo?!

Bwahahaha!! Now I have to figure out if spitting Pepsi on my phone screen is going to cause any damage lol.

This is why I opted for the life proof case for mine. Soda can go flying and my daughter can toss the phone in the toilet. Just fish it out and break out the Clorox!

It's a Doctor Who reference. The Ood are a subservient race bred and sold into slavery.

I knew that!! BTW, have you seen the cat food commercial where the cat is closer every time the woman turns around? Whoever came up with that one must have seen the "Weeping Angels" episodes at some point lol.

Most of mine are to shut up because I'm just a student and don't know what I'm talking about. Which I don't know what my being a student had to do with my knowledge of BS, but okay.
