I'm only doing my clinical rotation for nursing school (last semester thank goodness) so I have VERY limited experiences but had a woman come in today who bumped her hand at the bowling alley on a table. Rated her pain 2-3/10. What.....the.....hell...

The reason I ask is because something clicked in my head recently that hospice nursing might be for me. I am graduating in December and the rumor was that my final clinical rotation would be with Hospice. The more I thought about the more I warmed ...

Danville/Lincoln Co area here. Lord willing and the creek don't rise I'll graduate from the EKU ADN program in December of 09.

Something on your resume or letters or something has to be throwing up a red flag. I'm still in school and will graduate in December but I had many friends who graduated from EKU this past December and everyone of them had jobs secured in January at...

I spent some time in the accelerated BSN program at EKU. Let me say run as fast as you can to Bellarmine. Outside of one or two faculty they as a group are horrible. I transferred to a different program because it sucked so bad. Several of my fri...

I completed my EMT-B license a couple of years before I started nursing school. I graduate with my nursing degree in December and I think anyone who tries to do both at the same time are either nuts are like punishment. More power to anyone willing...

Hi everyone, I've decided to go back to school to become an RN. I already have a BS in another field so I will be going the accelerated BSN route. I heard someone mention nursing informatics the other day and thought I would look to see what it is...

Hi everyone, This thread could fit into a couple of different places but I wanted to try it here. I'll apologize now if it has to be moved. I am just now working to start towards a nursing career (going back to school to complete an accelerated BSN ...

Hi Everyone, I am in the process of applying to nursing school in an accelerated BSN program. I am trying to figure two more people to ask abou writing letters on my behalf. What I would like to know is are there any major buzz words that are impo...

Hi y'all (that's the way I would say it anyway) I'm planning to begin a nursing career in the fall of 2007 (accl. BSN program) and was wondering about something. I have a STRONG southern accent. I'm not ashamed of it, I love my accent. I had no id...

Hi Amanda, I would like to offer a bit of a different view on this. I have lost approx. 120 lbs over the past year and I can attest to the fact that a lot of people with weight issues struggle with portion control. These little snack packs are a gr...

A rather wide brush you paint with. I love it when people who make comments such as this lecture me on tolerance, being unbiased, and having an open mind. Tell me, how is the view from that Ivory Tower? Perhaps you view Christians the same way a ra...

Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement. Much appreciated!

I actually am in EMT training right now but decided 1/2 way through nursing is what I would rather do. I too love kids and think pediatric nursing is my way to go. I've realized over the last several months that I'm not a big fan of trauma. My fir...

I would like to put in a good word for my home town, Danville, Kentucky. It is one of the most charming places you would ever want to live. It has been named one of the top small towns in America and has wonderful people, character, and culture. H...

I would like to clarify that I have no desire to hide or change my accent. Like I said originally, I love being from the South and I love my voice. Heck, if anything it has been a conversation starter. I said I speak with all sorts of healthcare f...

Hello, I was hoping to sollicit some help. I am starting the process of looking into beginning an accelerated BSN program and have so many questions. Right now I am trying to determine if nursing is something I really want to do. At this point in ...

I was thinking about that. I'm in Kentucky. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and thought this would be a great place to try and seek out some feedback. I have been thinking about my career lately and about a month ago started really looking into the possibility of a nursing career. My ques...

Ok Lisa, I'm thinking you and I may be twins. You and I seem like we are one in the same. I hope you're right about being back here in a couple of years with the "I did it!!!" advantage! I know something that has given me some piece of mind is su...

Geez, I live just north of Pulaski County in a town called Danville. I'm not a nurse (applying to programs as of now but I do work in the healthcare industry) but I've never heard of anyone having this bad of an outlook. You may want to check out E...

Hi everyone. I am looking at possibly starting nursing school next year and have a question (well, I have a lot of questions but this one is burning right now). How do you find "your" speciality. It seems like the list is a mile long. I'm a 27 yea...

Thanks to everyone for sharing. I am looking into nursing because even though I do have a good job it is not fulfilling for me. I want to know I actually help people. That I make a difference for someone. I'm scared to death though. If I make a ...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the site (just made my first post in the pre-nursing student forum) and was seeking advice on how you knew a nursing career was right for you. I have been on this site everyday for the last two weeks trying to read and proce...
