   Kenrb27 replied to Kenrb27's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, everyone for the encouargement. The drop date has come and gone and I'm still here. Hopefully, it was a wise descion. I have studied so much I don't know if I finally "get it" or if I just have the problems memorized.

2. Do I have what it takes? Am I cut out for nursing?

   Kenrb27 replied to Kenrb27's topic in General Nursing

   See, I loved anatomy and physiology. Specifically physiology, I liked learning how and why things work and how the the different systems affect each other. I know I will make a good nurse and am prepared for some crying and hard times but it is disco...

   Kenrb27 replied to Kenrb27's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Melement, does your school give points for health care experience? What will you do if you are done with your pre-reqs but don't get in the first time you apply?

5. (not)Another LVN or RN post!

   Kenrb27 replied to Kenrb27's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am leaning more and more towards LVN so I can get my life started but I will apply to the local RN programs to see if I get in. I really would rather not work as a cna. It's just not my thing. I work at an office but I'm a cosmetologist so I would...

   I would join the Navy as soon as I was done with my BSN. At this rate that will be sometime around when I'm 31 or so. (I'm 25 now) My fiance is former navy and a navy contractor currently so we're used to being apart. I've allways wanted to join bu...

8. How soon do you start looking for a job

   Kenrb27 replied to Restoration's topic in CNA/MA

   I don't plan on looking for a job. The CNA's where I'm from make 8.88 in LTC and I make more than that at my desk job. THere is no way I'm willing to do all the hard work that a CNA does for that amount of money. I'm taking the class because it is ...

    Kenrb27 replied to thomasbrooks07's topic in CNA/MA

    Dosen't matter what you wear, if your not used to all that standing and walking your feet are going to hurt. I went through two pairs of shoes before I realised it was the nature of the work not the shoes that had my feet and back sore! I setteled ...

12. I get so excited at the beginning of the semester

    Kenrb27 replied to christinamuniz's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You guys are crazy taking that many credits at once. But I guess I'm taking around that number as well because I'm taking a CNA course on top of my 12 units of pre-reqs. I'm always excited at the begining of the semester but at the end I'm very rea...
