    maureenlynn replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Try www.discovernursing.com. It has a list of many MANY different nursing jobs inside and outside the hospital. If something there appeals to you, you should research it and see if it's a possibility...

  2. Does anyone do Medical Transcription?

    maureenlynn replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a medical transcription editor for about a year and a half. I worked from home for about six months. I took an MT course through PCDI. They are an at-home study program that was very...

  3. Where were u 9/11/01?

    maureenlynn replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a Psychology class. It's hard to believe it's been five years

  4. Working while going to school

    maureenlynn replied to godsend213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In a perfect world, no one would have to work while going to nursing school. I'm going to be in the same boat as you. I remember hearing somewhere that it was impossible to work and go to school, but...

  5. I think I made a mistake.

    maureenlynn replied to LPNguy's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let it get you down! Now you know that nursing is not what you want. Like Tweety said, if you never went through with nursing school, you would have lived your entire life saying, "What if?????"...

  6. Too Sensitive to be a Nurse?

    maureenlynn replied to onexmorexgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know EXACTLY what you're going through! My mother-in-law also told me that I'm too soft to be a nurse, but she was a hospice nurse for 20 years. But the truth is, the only way you can be sure is to...

  7. This is what I was meant to do!

    maureenlynn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I apologize if this ends up being long. I'm just about to start my journey into the nursing world. I'm very nervous about it, but I really think that nursing is what I was put on this planet...

  8. Death of a favorite Patient...

    maureenlynn replied to Adam D. RN2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :icon_hug: I'm so sorry! I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm sure that no matter how many times you lose a patient, it never gets any easier. Just take comfort in the fact that you were the absolute best...

  9. This is what I was meant to do!

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

    My MIL seems to be getting more supportive now. She was telling me horror stories from her nurse training days to gauge my reactions and I think she was impressed that I didn't pale once. I think...

  10. This is what I was meant to do!

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

    I would much rather have a compassionate nurse, too! My husband sliced his finger once and I had to take him to the ER and the nurse was pretty rough. He has a phobia of going to the doctor's anyway...

  11. Medical Terminalogy

    maureenlynn replied to snoop105's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a medical terminology course when I was going for medical transcription. It will seem very overwhelming at first, lots to remember, but once you get the basic format of how medical terms are...

  12. anyone can help me compare St Joseph, VA and Uof M hospitals

    maureenlynn replied to exairex's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am not yet a nurse, but I do plan to work at St. Joe's once I get there. I have always been very impressed by the level of compassion and caring at both the St. Joe's in Ann Arbor and Livinston...

    maureenlynn replied to Redlady's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have always loved Washtenaw. I got my Associtate's in Liberal Arts from there (I wanted some college, but had no idea what I wanted to do :) ). I think I'm going to try to wait for WCC as well....

  14. This is what I was meant to do!

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

    Thank you so much for all who replied! It's so wonderful to hear such encouraging stories. I'm going to go for it now. I have not applied to nursing school yet, because I would like to take the CNA...

  15. Washtenaw CC - New Requirements

    maureenlynn replied to Redlady's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I'm also going to be trying for Washtenaw. I'm planning on doing the CNA course first, but I haven't even applied to the nursing program yet!!! I had no idea the waitlist was so long. Have you...
