1. Am I right for Nursing Informatics? Please weigh in.

   Mesomorph posted a topic in Informatics

   Hello my ... What do you call yourselves anyway. Informaticists? My story is a long one, but I will keep it short: I went to school, got my BSN and RN, but never practiced as a nurse. I did not feel called to patient care and wanted to get out of...

2. Need advice on hamstring and adductor rehab

   Mesomorph posted a topic in Rehabilitation

   I've always enjoyed physical fitness and really value taking care of my body. I was a competitive gymnast but in the process of gymnastics ruined my wrist. A few months after having to retire I was stretching splits and must've not warmed up proper...

3. ^^^Need Advice: Unsure of what job to take... ^^^

   Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

   A year in the hospital = not happening. I'm not saying that to be stubborn, but I'm being realistic... I'd rather work at Walmart than in the hospital, so if no one can present some viable options then I will have to look elseware, but I just wanted...

   Hey everyone. I could write a novel on this subject but I'm going to try to be relatively brief and you all are welcome to ask questions as necessary. The Good: -Graduated from Nursing School May 2008 with a BSN -Passed NCLEX first try November 2008 ...

5. Nursing Photographer? Also, NCLEX question

   Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, but that would be a nursing job where photography is an asset. I want a photography job where nursing is an asset.

6. Nursing Photographer? Also, NCLEX question

   Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

   That's a wonderful service. My hope is to find a paying job, but that's something that I might consider doing in the future as a volunteer, or something that, were I hired on staff at any given hospital, I'd be more than happy to do for parents of i...

7. Nursing Photographer? Also, NCLEX question

   Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

   Hm... it seems babies/peds would be my strongest selling point. I'll focus on that as I try to find/create a position for myself. Thanks! If anyone else has any input I'd love to hear it.

8. Should I continue this??

   Mesomorph replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

   No prob. And yeah. Nothing has every grossed me out in nursing. I could deal with the poop, blood, sputum, etc. I also gave the most excellent care I could and feigned compassion if only to help the patients, because whether or not I liked my job...

9. Should I continue this??

   Mesomorph replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

   Virgo, I think everyone in nursing goes through the 'OH MY GOSH I CAN'T DO THIS!!!" phase. When someone like yourself expresses doubts about nursing the typical response is "Keep going! It'll get better!!!" At least, that's what my instructors and...

10. Nursing Photographer? Also, NCLEX question

    Mesomorph posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, I just passed the NCLEX. All I got was a small letter from Pearson-Vue... No framable certificate? No card? No nothing? If that's all there is, then that's kind of lame for $300... Taking the NCLEX was a deal I made with my parents. But, ...

11. Quick, Easy Question.

    Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in Student Assist

    I'm just contemplating if it's even worth taking the NCLEX if I have no intention of being a nurse. If the title RN would stick with me, I'd take the test, but if not, I don't see the point in wasting the money. I'm kind of at the point where I reali...

12. Quick, Easy Question.

    Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in Student Assist

    What about the RN portion of it?

13. Quick, Easy Question.

    Mesomorph posted a topic in Student Assist

    ...just indulge me. Lets say I finish nursing school, pass the NCLEX, but never actually go on to work as a nurse. Will I hold the title "RN" for life, or will the title expire? If so, when? If it expires, what will my new title be? In other words, ...

14. What are some options for RN + good with computers? Help :(

    Mesomorph replied to Mesomorph's topic in Post Graduate

    Well... after I get my RN it looks like it's time for a career change.

    I'm a senior nursing student (I know this isn't the nursing student forum.. hear me out...)... and... I just feel like I chose the completely wrong major. I'm not touchy-feely, I'm not inspired by nursing, and as a rule I really don't like interactin...
