1. So, do I become a nurse or what?

   Satori replied to Satori's topic in General Students

   I can remember things if I really focus on remembering them. I had to learn memory tricks for that stuff, whereas I never had to before! My problem is that I used to have a VERY good memory. I only had to hear someone say something once, and (if I ...

2. So, do I become a nurse or what?

   Satori posted a topic in General Students

   Ok, here's my situation (summed up as well as I can): I was in a car accident, where I suffered a brain injury in addition to some physical stuff a couple of years ago. The physical stuff has healed, but I still have some issues with my short term m...

3. Volunteering?

   Satori posted a topic in General Students

   I was thinking about getting involved with a local hospital's volunteer program while I await the beginning of my nursing courses. Anyone think this is a good idea to prepare me for what I'll be dealing with or just a waste of time and energy?

4. Be A Lpn Or Rn?

   Satori replied to Holly84's topic in General Nursing

   I chose LPN, since there was a better chance of me starting the program immediately versus waiting a couple of years to get in. My school offers an LPN to RN program, which they say I'm almost guaranteed acceptance into if I get my LPN from them. Go...

5. Ack! My Stafford Loan Troubles!

   Satori posted a topic in General Students

   I found out a couple of weeks ago that my school doesn't offer Stafford loans, and was preparing to save up the $$ to pay for school myself. I found a website for a company that (I'm hoping) will arrange for Stafford loans for me, but I'm still not ...

6. Weird situation in clinical...advice needed!

   Satori replied to memphispanda's topic in General Nursing

   I was comatose in the hospital for several weeks, and during that time, a former boyfriend showed up, got the staff to turn over my personal belongings to him (including credit cards!) by claiming that he was my fiance. He was believed, despite the ...

7. Am I stupid to go for nursing?

   Satori replied to Satori's topic in General Students

   I called and left a message for my ortho to call me back last week. Hasn't happened so far, so I'll probably try him again on Monday. Grrr...it's just so frustrating to know what I want to do, then to be unsure if I'm physically capable of doing it...

8. Am I stupid to go for nursing?

   Satori replied to Satori's topic in General Students

   Ok, here's my story. I'll try to keep it brief. I was in a car accident last year, which inspired me to get into nursing. 1-1/2 years later, I've found a program I'm getting ready to start, but I'm having trouble with my knee. I have a titanium ro...

10. Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

    Satori replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

    I'm Bev. I'm 31, man-less, kid-less and currently jobless. But the jobless thing will change eventually. I'm giving up on the kid thing, still a bit hopeful on the man thing. I decided to become a nurse after a car accident. I was in the hospital...

11. Any other "older" new nursing students out there?

    Satori replied to BRONXBABY's topic in General Students

    I had my 31st birthday yesterday. Do I count as an older student? My boyfriend (term I'll use for lack of a better description) is the son of an RN who didn't get her degree until she was about 37. He reminds me of that every time I grumble about ...

12. Rankings for Nursing Schools

    Satori replied to Tigger100S's topic in General Students

    Because I was looking into going there, I know for a fact that UNC-Chapel Hill is supposed to be ranked 9th in the nation. Unfortunately for me, they have about 6 prerequisites for 2nd degree majors, and I couldn't get loans to pay the dosh it would...

13. Describe nursing, please?

    Thought I just had... I was in a car accident last year, resulting in a coma, some brain damage (pretty mild, compared to alot of what I've seen), and some orthopedic injuries. The net result was that I left the hospital wanting to be a nurse. I w...
