2. What's it really like to be a nurse?

   ll9919 replied to OhNatasha's topic in General Nursing

   I think the most sage advise is to shadow a nurse in the areas you may be interested in (or just a general meg/surg floor) and then decide if nursing is a good for you personally. You are going to encounter on this site and in general those who love ...

   I had blood tinged saliva spray into my eye once. I went into panic mode. Luckily, everything was ok but I was worried due to patient risk factors. I learned that eye exposure carries less of a risk but any risk is scary, even if it was 0.00001

4. "You've never said you liked nursing." A vent.

   ll9919 replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

   Although I love caring for patients and feel that in a perfect world, nursing would be my career of choice, it's hard--period. I have been known to "complain and rant" to a co-worker or two, even though I do enjoy caring for people. I have no doubt t...

   Has anyone heard if they're still contacting applicants for interviews? I'm hoping that if individual professors are sending out emails, then maybe some applicants have yet to be contacted. That is my hope, at least! Good luck to everyone!

    ll9919 replied to rphil77120's topic in Advanced

    Thanks for posting on this! I have been wondering about interviews too for the FNP program but haven't heard anything. I guess it depends on the professor as to when and if you get contacted for an interview. As to the number of slots available, I've...
