  2. Advice from current nurses or students?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    Lesson learned for my next post! That's great to know, thank you! I worked with several nurses on a unit at a hospital, but rarely ever saw the doctors (I only saw the residents) so I wasn't sure of...

  3. Advice from current nurses or students?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for the miscommunication! I worded it poorly in my original post. I think nurses are incredibly smart. Nursing school (from what I've been told) is intense and you need very very good...

  4. Advice from current nurses or students?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if I came off implying that nurses aren't smart. I think the complete opposite. My worries were amongst doctors' thoughts. I thought his monologue was very heartwarming and extremely...

  5. Advice from current nurses or students?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    Yes thank you! Exactly what I was referring too. I think nurses are incredibly smart because they ARE. However, I have heard of many instances where nurses are somewhat verbally "abused" by doctors...

  6. Home health or hospital?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to callmecrazyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Huh the terrible payment for working in hospitals sort of surprises me. Where I live, hospital nurses are usually paid extremely well and RNs can easily make over 100k a year. But that's a lot of...

  7. Advice from current nurses or students?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    I am sincerely sorry if this question was insulting. That was honestly not my intention nor did I think it was insulting when I asked it. I'm young with little "real world" experience so I was asking...

  8. Advice from current nurses or students?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I got it from these forums (although they were very very old threads ). No, this is 100% not a homework assignment lol. I just have questions about the profession before I apply at the end...

  9. Pathway to RN through second degree bachelor. Have lots of questions

    Pianoplaya94 replied to csuf123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. BA to ADN/BSN/Direct Entry or Medical School or MPH?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to SophieRay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure how much help I can be since I have little real world experience and have barely finished undergrad. However, I can relate. I am stuck between becoming an RN or getting an MPH in...

  11. Not accepted

    Pianoplaya94 replied to susanolu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not alone!! I have the exact same worry at the moment. But you can always re-apply as many times as you want (or can afford)! That's what I plan to do, even though I seriously hope to get in...

  12. Does age matters,when planing to become RN?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Lovemy3boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pianoplaya94 replied to catnessk's topic in Canada

    I have worked at SickKids for 3 years in 4 different departments / units (not as a nurse though as I am still a student). I worked with many nurses, researchers, and doctors. I can confirm that...

  14. I'm in Ontario looking for info and difference

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Tal261's topic in Canada

    CNAs are below LPNs. The LPNs guide them in what to do and they always under the supervision of an LPN and CNAs have no independent authority. LPNs can perform the same work as CNAs but not the other...

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Destineyh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can always first get the ADN, then do an ADN - BSN program. You may be required to take a few extra courses before applying to the BN, but this is another option for
