1. Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't ask for opinions on whether or not I should go into nursing. I asked what the most doable program, in their opinion, might be. I probably should have edited my title better (since it was originally "can you do nursing school without a car?...

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Your reply was probably the most helpful, Boog's Girl; I was just frustrated by the attitude that just because I get tired easily there's NO way to do what I want. This is the same crappy attitude I've gotten from EVERYONE in my life. I'm sorry, bu...

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I love the ablism in this thread. No, of course there has never been a doctor using an electric wheelchair for work or their internships! How silly of me! It's not like I have friends with severe diseases who made it through! And I like how no one...

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think for now I'm going to work a high-paying office job while I finish my pre-reqs for medical school. If they're both going to be intense and demanding and take ~5 years, I might as well come out with making more money, lol. I have some friends ...

5. Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm certain there are jobs available that I can do. I want to go into psych/mental health eventually, so I can do counseling as a backup. I honestly don't understand why there's any reason for me not to go into nursing! I'm not blind or a quadripl...

   I really want to be a nurse practitioner. Unfortunately, the first year or two of any nursing program requires CLINICALS. For starters, I have a genetic disorder (and some hormone problems) that make it impossible for me to be on my feet all day eve...

8. Have non-nursing AA degree, now what?

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in General Nursing

   um, but wouldn't I transfer things? I seriously doubt any college in their right mind would put someone coming out of 4 years of college with properly transfering GER's into their freshman year. Anyways, it's only another two years to continue on wi...

9. Have non-nursing AA degree, now what?

   raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't mean that being trained as a CNA/phlebotomist would count towards credentials, but rather that maybe some of the classes would count towards transfer credit or something. At any rate, I assume the experience would look better than nothing o...

    raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in General Nursing

    also, I do not expect to ultimately work in a hospital or anything. I'd like to do a combination of research and overseas/urban charity work. i.e. serving the underserved. I can get through the school part if I know it's not going to last too muc...

    raefactor replied to raefactor's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken statistics, psychology (actually SEVERAL psych classes), sociology, anatomy and physiology I and II, and several other classes. I'm trained as a CNA but transferred schools right before the test was offered. I was also trained as a phle...

    okay, also... what if I were to do my ADN then jump straight to an MSN? Can anyone tell me what the basic requirements for NP program admission usually is? I mean, could I get my ADN, become an RN, then go straight to into my MSN degree with an RN-...

    I'm about to graduate from a prestigious US university with an associate of the arts degree and a 3.0+ gpa. I ultimately want to be a nurse practitioner. I'd like to be a registered/BSN nurse in 2 years or less, or, alternatively, a nurse practitio...
