   Hi all, I'm graduating in Dec 05 with a B.S. in Psychology, i've been planning to go onto grad. school in psychology until i found out about psychiatric nursing. I'm wondering if any of you can give me some idea what is psychiatric nursing about and ...

5. Is ADN the right choice?

   elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, i meant psychiatric nursing. I'm a psych major and i've always wanted to be a psychologist and was planning to go to grad. school in psych. But a professor just introduced me to this growing field...psychiatric nursing, i've never thought or hea...

6. nursing program = biology + chemistry ??

   elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

   75 is the minimum, so how many total questions are there? It sounds really hard, i have only had one intro. to biology, never had anatomy and physiology nor microbiology.....i'm so worried now... How do i find out if the program that i want to get i...

7. nursing program = biology + chemistry ??

   elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

   Does it make a big difference if i get my ADN in a community college or a university? So basically there's really no way to find out if i'm interested in this field or not without actually going into a program.... sigh~~ Thanks a lot, now i know it's...

9. nursing program = biology + chemistry ??

   elleon posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm just wondering what is a nursing program like? Do you mainly take a lot of biology and chemistry classes? How do you know if you are going to like it? I mean i've only taken one intro. biology class a year ago, it was ok, i didn't really like it ...

10. Is ADN the right choice?

    elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    Hey...you can read from the very beginning of this thread, then you'd be able to catch up. So are you thinking of getting a degree in nursing with a background in something else? I probably can't help much, i'm here to get help just like you, but pos...

11. Is ADN the right choice?

    elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good idea too, but i just don't know where to start. I mean besides having to decide between ADN and BSN, i'm not sure which state i'd be moving to either :smackingf . I'm thinking CA and TX might have more opportunities cuz it's a bigger pl...

12. Is ADN the right choice?

    elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    Btw, i guess i have never thought of it that way, i kept thinking that it's weird for me to have a bachelor's degree in psych and go back to get an ADN in nursing, i never realized that it might be an advantage too. I guess i might also be able to g...

13. Is ADN the right choice?

    elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    I know real nursing is nothing like those tv shows, i'm just wondering how do you know if you can handle it? Should i ask for a shadowing opportunity before i get into a nursing program or...? People told me that if a person is scared of blood and al...

14. Is ADN the right choice?

    elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    That's true, i think i should do that. Should i do that after i got into a nursing program, because i don't think they would need someone who doesn't have any knowledge in that area.

15. Is ADN the right choice?

    elleon replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks a lot....one more thing i'm worried about is that i'm not sure if i have what it takes to be a nurse....and i'm not sure what to expect, i mean it'd be kinda dumb to spend 2 years to get an ADN and realize that i don't have what it takes or .....
