  1. Update: I am a nurse now :) It’s definitely a mixed bag, but that’s true of everywhere I’ve worked in the past so it’s not so different. I’ve found I do best in environments where the...
  2. So I'm currently four months from graduating my RN program. For the most part things have gone reasonably well. I've had setbacks here and there, but up until this point I've enjoyed my clinical...
  3. I think a clean, put-together, professional appearance is important. Some people can be clean, put-together, and professional looking and have tattoos and piercings and odd-colored hair. Other people...
  4. Graduating RN BSN at 32

    I think the average age in my Associate's program is about 30. There are some younger, a few quite a bit older, but pretty much everyone is coming from some other kind of life or work experience. Only...
  5. Is there a possibility of providing patient education here? If the patient doesn't have insurance or a primary care provider, is there one or more low-cost/sliding fee clinics in your area that can be...
  6. How did you get accepted into your ADN program?

    We had to get a minimum cut-off score on the TEAS, but otherwise, admissions at my school are first-come-first-served instead of competitive. They start a new cohort every 20 weeks and the next two...
  7. Depending on what kind of school it is, they may issue a 1098-t at the end of the year, and depending on your tax status you may be eligible for a deduction or credit based on your tuition payments -...
  8. The Men in OB Debate: Help!

    I've actually found that in a lot of cases working in a women's-health space can make men into stronger providers - I actually usually prefer a male OBGYN, for instance, because I've yet to meet one...
  9. Depakote: valproic acid or divalproex sodium?

    Depakote is divalproex sodium. Depakene is valproic acid. I believe the main reason the terms for valproates are often used interchangeably is because they all become valproic acid within the body -...
  10. I would go with the accelerated program. Logic - You said you're currently having a hard time finding entry level healthcare work since you don't have any experience - that may continue. Extending...
  11. You may want to do some investigating into other allied health fields - there's a lot out there other than just nurses and doctors. Physical and Occupational Therapists and Assistants, Medical...
  12. I would go for either an ADN or BSN - whichever local program that would get me to licensure the fastest (based on transfer credits I already have, pre-requisite requirements, etc.), and qualifies me...
  13. Medicine and nursing have very different education and career tracks. To become an M.D. you need to complete your undergrad with a very high GPA, and other things to make you a competitive applicant...
  14. How do I go in business for myself ?

    As a CNA, I don't know if you can. You may be able to market yourself or retrain as a home health aide or personal care attendant - check your state laws to see what the legal requirements are in...
  15. I can't take one more day of psych!!!!

    Addiction is an inherently difficult topic and addicts are often difficult people to deal with. You may need to change specialty if you can't handle them anymore. Something I like to remind myself of...
