  4. First, let me start by saying that the nurse who told me this was not being rude by the comment. And it didn't bother me, I'm actually looking to see if it would help with a specialty in the future. I am a brand new tech and she has taken me under he...
  5. How many patients do student nurses have?

    Thanks everyone for the helpful comments!! I really don't want to give up on nursing because of my current experiences. I just didn't know if me not liking my current job equates to me not needing to pursue nursing. I like the patient interactions, v...
  6. How many patients do student nurses have?

    I'm hoping the second interview goes well for the NICU. I've been interested in the NICU since my brother was a nicu baby. I've always been interested in pediatric nursing though.
  7. Currently I'm overwhelmed at my hospital as a tech. I average 12-20 patients a night. All the techs and nurses say how good of a nurse I'll be. But I'm afraid if I can't make it through this tech job I won't be a good nurse or student nurse. I'll do ...
  8. Hi everyone! I recently accepted a position at a hospital as a patient care assistant on a med surg unit, where they are training me on the job. I've volunteered at a children's hospital but for the last two years I've worked as a teacher at a daycar...

  13. Nursing is my passion but I feel like I am too dumb.

    I looked up histiocytosis and it truly is awful, I was so sorry to hear that for you and your family. I completely agree that the homeschool did not help prepare me for nursing. I attended public school with honors up until my tenth grade year when m...
