hi every, just curious how do you stay in shape or make time to exercise while in nursing school? i work full time and go to school full time and am going to start a workout routine. just wondering what people do...thanks!

And also stop asking questions that you already know that answer to and just want to the teacher to see that you are a know it all. Especially when there is 2 minutes left of the 4 hour class and the rest of us want to get the @#$^ out of there!

can you please keep your personal stories to yourself. i am paying really high tuition to hear the instructor speak not you so i don't care about how you're an aide and this is how they do it at your hospital or things you've seen.

i work as an aide right now and have the same attitude and views that you have. i am in nursing school right now and being an aide has been a wonderful learning experience. have you ever thought of going to nursing school? you sound like you would b...

there is nothing easy about nursing school. if its your dream you will do what you have to and get through it.

I have to say that I run into this problem all the time! I am 27 years old and look around 18 if not younger. I am short have dimples the works! I work as a nursing aide and often times get asked by patients "why do I work there and am only in high...

Hello Everyone, I am a nursing assistant and i start school this Aug (finally!!) My shift at work is 3-11:30. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to stay in shape, exercise programs etc. By the time i get home and showered its way passed mid...

I am not sure whether school should give points to students how are CNAs however i think all RN students should be required to be and aid before or during nursing school. I am an aide myself (I start RN school this Aug). I have been working as an a...

Hello All, I received my accpetance letter after almost 2 years of waiting and yippee I paid my deposit and I will be officially starting in Aug 08. I am writing because i am working as an aide, moved back with my parents to pay off debt and i am th...

I am just an aide and i start school next fall (Aug 08) I get told by several nurses that i shouldnt go to RN school or just become an RN. They say that being an RN stinks and so forth. I just ignore them and look at their situation....some have be...

I am nowhere near taking my exam however I work as an aide in a hospital and some of my fellow coworkers who were aids to the exam this summer. Some passed others didnt. The ones that failed are continuing to work as Aides per diem and or only 24 h...

Mitch, I work as an aid in ICU and we have 2 travel RNs. However they have had ICU or ER experience in the past. At least 1-2 years.

After waiting forever (actually 2 years) I finally got off the wait list and was officially accepted into a RN program. I am so excited!! However its like a truck just hit me because now I am super nervous! I have been working as an aid at a hospit...

Curious as to what the pay rate is for nursing assistant? Ranges are fine..and please include state you live in. Thanks!!!

Thank you all for responding. I work in Mass and started at 11.33 with differentials depending on shift and weekends. I do a lot and work with other aids who just don't do anything at all. All the nurses tell me that I am great and will be a wonder...

hello everyone, just curious at how long is everyones commute to school. i got accepted into an rn program (finally) but the commute is pretty far. can everyone share how long their commutes are? thanks!!!

To All, I brought a car in 05 and by the time I'm done with school i may as well buy another one!!! Today in mass we got a ton of snow!! This is what i am most afraid of.

Hello everyone, I am just wondering how long everyone's commute to school is? I got accepted (finally) into an RN program but its further away then i would like. I just want to see how far people commute to see if its even possible. Thanks!!!

Sddlnscp, Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. It makes me feel a lot better seeing that there are others out there doing the same. Good for you being able to work and still go through school and you work FT!!! Seriously really inspir...

Brockton School of Nursing....and I live near Worcester...its a long way...

MMW37, Thanks for the recommendation. I was and still am a little nervous about the commute. Especially around the winter months. But everyone's advice has really encouraged me. I just have to set myself up with a schedule and leaving early and s...

Moongrl, I replied to your post in the wrong place but was wondering how you do such a commute. Like when do you get up, study, when do you go to bed and have time for H.W. Do you work (have a job)

Oh my god how do you do it??? When do you wake up, go to sleep, study??? I think my commute will be about 1 hr and 30 min on a good day. Did i mention i live in mass so the winter will probably be a different story.

Hello, I'm a pre-nursing student living in central mass and just working while i wait to hear if ive been accepted to the numerous schools I've applied to. I have been trying to find a job working in a hospital setting and although i have lots of ex...
