  1. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Gr8ful C replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Funny this thread should come to my attention - dh and I were talking about this the other day! I do want to help people and the profession really does interest me, but if the pay sucked, I probably...

    Gr8ful C replied to studentnurses3's topic in International Nursing

    I'm in BC where the only track available is the degree. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference between the college degrees and the University? I remember hearing years ago that...

  4. Licensing in CA and taking meds for depression???

    Gr8ful C replied to momto2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others that you need to go directly to the board of nursing for info on this. I had a doctor tell me that I cannot be a nurse because I have Hep C. I was so upset! This is my...

    Gr8ful C replied to scoobysnax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. This is an amazing forum!! Wish I would of know earlier about it.

    Gr8ful C replied to gentle02's topic in International Nursing

    I started reading about it last night because I couldn't believe that I was about to start a 4 year program to "maybe" become a nurse. The web site says 3 times in the first 24 months, then you can...

  8. This is an amazing forum!! Wish I would of know earlier about it.

    Gr8ful C replied to gentle02's topic in International Nursing

    Why do nursing schools not prepare nurses to pass this test? Is that not the purpose? It just doesn't make any sense to me. If I go to 4 years of nursing school and work hard I want to know that I'll...

  9. This is an amazing forum!! Wish I would of know earlier about it.

    Gr8ful C replied to gentle02's topic in International Nursing

    I just wonder why people worry so much about passing this exam. I mean, I realize how important it is, but it seems to me that if you graduate from nursing school - especially if you've done well -...

  10. Working for hospitals pay nursing expenses?

    Gr8ful C replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, I'm going to school in Canada, but I want to work in the US for a couple of years at some point after graduation. This is why I'm wondering if any hospitals or agencies might be desperate...

  11. Working for hospitals pay nursing expenses?

    Gr8ful C replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmm...I wonder if they would let a Canadian in on that deal? When I was in California recently I met someone who works for a big hospital and she gave me her card and said call me when you're done...

  16. Where to live in Vancouver!

    Gr8ful C replied to ghostcat's topic in International Nursing

    South Surrey would be a lot nicer, or North Delta. I think Queensborough is nicer than it used to be, but it's a neighborhood at the intersection of major highways. Nice community centre though. Do...

  17. This is what I was meant to do!

    Gr8ful C replied to maureenlynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to add that I am a softie at heart, but life has helped me grow a thicker skin. Sometimes it is a painful process, so just remember that if you encounter people and situations that are...

  18. Nail biting & nursing- bad match!

    Gr8ful C replied to mishmisha's topic in General Students

    I pick at the skin around my nails and the cuticles - sometimes until they bleed. I'm not in nursing school yet, but I have been working on this and what works for me is hand lotion - I constantly...

    Gr8ful C replied to Gr8ful C's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks, that is so good to hear! I am hoping to get into UCFV for Sept/07 and since I live in Abby I won't apply anywhere else. Does the program have set class hours? I looked in the timetable online...

  25. A question for moms...

    Gr8ful C replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's key to live well during school also, not put life and family "on hold". If we can enjoy the process then there's no "wasted time". I fall into the trap of thinking "when this is over I...
