I know how u feel. I'm a new nurse working on Med-Surg and I just recently had a couple of days that made me feel completely incompetent. I was constantly behind and I felt really stupid, but I had to tell myself that I'm still learning and I'm going...
I just graduated (south Mississippi) and the internship I was offered starts out at around $20/hr, with 3pm -7pm diff $2.25/hr, after 7pm i think diff is $4.25/hr.
The first semester isn't so bad. We learned how to do a cath, trach care and suctioning , and med admin. We only had 8 days of actual clinical towards the end of the semester. Half of those days are in a hospital and the other half are in a nursing h...
I am just finishing my first semester of clinicals at JD. You will love the clinical instructors in the first level. Their all very helpful. Good luck!
I just started the JD program. You have to have a 2.0 overall and I think a 2.5 for prereqs and co-reqs(I could be wrong). The program doesn't pick applicants by highest gpa or anything. It is first qualified first accepted. There really isn't a very...

I have had financial aid the last three semesters and I was always able to go ahead and register. The money was always there at the latest a day or two before class started.

I would suggest doing the BSN. School is expensive and you need all the financial aid you can get. Also, since getting your BSN is important to you why not just go for it!
I am a pre-nursing student in Biloxi, MS, but a friend of mine just graduated with her BSN and will be working at Memorial Hospital in Gulfport, MS for $19.47 +diffs.
I competely understand the pain you are going through as my father also died in 2000 of lung cancer (he was 52). It is hard to think of going about your normal daily life and also starting a new chapter in your life, but just remember how proud your ...
I just finished up my pre-reqs except for the speech. I'm starting the nursing program in January at JD. Unless there is some sort of miracle and enough people drop out for the fall semester. In the fall I will probably take some classes for my bache...
My teacher for A&P I enjoyed his reputation as being the hardest teacher on campus. There were about 30 of us at the beginning. 10 at the end of the semester. I ended up with a C in the class (the only C I have made:angryfire). The funny thing is...
Since starting my pre-reqs I have worked at a check cashing store, Home Depot, and a casino gift shop (until Katrina). I haven't been working the last few months, but I am looking to get a job in a hospital while I am waiting to start RN program in J...
