1. Pre Requisites

   Jess79 replied to shansm05's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have taken all my prereqs online through Rio Salado Community College in Arizona. You do not need to live in AZ though. I really like the school. I have two children so it is a lot cheaper than going and having to pay daycare. If you are motivated,...

   Thanks ftr_bb_catchr and JessicaGmz . I will do the spanish. There is one offerred specifically for the healthcare setting. Not sure how much I'll learn in one semester but better than nothing. If I like it, maybe I'll continue to more advanced class...

   Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Those were some really good ideas prmenrs! I actually live in the southwest and spanish would probably help me greatly. It is not something I have ever really been interested in, but I can imagine what it must be like for spanish speaking patients. I...

   Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks scoley. It is definitely frustrating. A few years back I was in training to be a correctional officer. One week into the training, I lost my babysitter. I would have had to live in a dorm for 7 weeks to finish the training. Needless to say, th...

6. Frustrated (My advisor is an idiot!)

   Jess79 replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi. I have no real advice for you but I know everytime I call to speak to an advisor, I get a different story depending on who I ask. It is very frustrating. You have some good ones and some bad I guess. I know that colleges are different but as far ...

   Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Oncology

   Thanks Leslie. I have been told that every nurse goes into it thinking they are going to change the world only to soon realize that is not the case. I guess you do the best you can but not stress yourself to the point you breakdown. I will find what ...

9. Is it asthma?

   Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Pulmonary

   Thanks for your replies grannynurse and ELKMNin06. I know it is hard to help when I can't really explain my symptoms. I really don't have many symptoms. It just happens. Nothing special going on at the time. Like I said, I feel like a drink of water ...

10. Is it asthma?

    Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Pulmonary

    Ha Ha. Thanks Nurse Ratched. I will definately keep that in mind. And if it is asthma like you have noseinabooknurse, do you just use the inhaler when it happens or are you taking medication all the time for it? Is your condition like mine, only once...

11. too emotional??

    Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Oncology

    Thanks for replying. I am glad you are well and sure you will make a great nurse. I know I couldn't be a nurse who doesn't get close, which is kinda why I get so scared. Although I believe it is the only way to go. When working with children, includi...

12. Is it asthma?

    Jess79 replied to Jess79's topic in Pulmonary

    Thanks so much for your responses. To answer your question, it feels like I am drowning or choking. It is like when you take a drink of water and choke on it but I am not drinking. I keep gasping for air but can't get any. Then it eventually goes awa...

13. Is it asthma?

    Jess79 posted a topic in Pulmonary

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone has any idea what my problem is. Since I moved to Arizona 6 years ago, I have stopped breathing about 4 times. It doesn't happen often obviously but is really scary when it does. There is no trigger it seems. Fine one mi...
