HEllo everyone ! I know what Im going to say may sound silly, but I dont like to work in a hospital setting when I graduate. I heard horrible stories about hospitals and how nurses are treated like mules by giving then an incredible load of work. I also heard that its not about the patient anymore, so I just feel that this kind of job will give me anxiety and depression. you may think im a lazy nurse, but I know my limitations too. So Im just asking what are other non-hospital jobs for ADNs?? and do they require experience? do I have to have some previous experience in hospitals before getting those jobs? Thank you

Hello Everybody! I am just seeking for advice from other ESL students or from native speakers as well. I've just started nursing school 2 weeks ago and I kind of worried that I may not do well in this program because english is not my native language. I never had any trouble in my pre-req. I am a straight A student and was an honor student for 2 years in my college. I don't have any issue with lectures or the exams. The only issue I have is the speaking. SOmetimes I think it's because of my anxiety. I am also a quiet and introverted person but once I get comfortable with someone, I will speak perfectly and smoothly, but when Im anxious or when I talk in front of many people I may stutter and my brain goes blank. I know that introvertedness and shyness is not an ESL issue but for me, the fear of making a mistake makes me anxious and I keep thinking about the perfect word to say so i end up saying nothing lol. many native speakers told me that my accent is not bad at all and it's not heavy, but Im just self conscious. Add that to the culture shock that I'm experiencing. It is honestly exhausting to deal with all of this. Any words of encouragment, or advice are appreciated. Sorry if this is too long but I needed to vent and I appreciate your responses and help. Thank you

I'm actually planning to work for couple years as a nurse before considering that position. I just don't want to miss any opportunity if there is a potential to work as a nurse informatic and want to be well informed about that position. Thank you!

Hello Everybody! I am currently a nursing student (ADN), and I have a computer science degree and was a computer network technician in my country of origin. I recently read about nursing informatics and I really liked it because I can combine between my first specialty and my passion ( nursing), so my question is will my degree in computer science and a BSN be enough to get a job as a nurse informatic? if not what do I need to do? Thank you all!
