1. practicing in nursing school

   linzyann replied to linzyann's topic in General Students

   I agree with you that being thinner will not help me be a competent nurse- I'm not hugely overweight (to the point that I can't move around well or anything) but I am chunky. Its nothing more than a vanity thing in terms of being ashamed of my body. ...

4. practicing in nursing school

   linzyann posted a topic in General Students

   When you practice in nursing school, do you practice on one another? What sort of skills do you practice on fellow students? I am not all that nervous about other people giving me shots or drawing blood, but I do not want someone to see my body. So, ...

   Please tell me- what is a day in the life of a nurse like? What sort of activities do you do everyday? I am looking to either become a nurse and then, in a few years, and NP OR to become a PA. I want to know what a day in the life of a nurse is like ...

7. Question about specializing in nursing

   linzyann replied to linzyann's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you. I wasn't sure if you were stuck in a certainly specialty, mostly because I go to a school with a big PA program and the bloody PA students keep telling me I can't switch specialties. (for the record, I have nothing against PAs...I've just ...

8. Question about specializing in nursing

   linzyann posted a topic in General Nursing

   I know that all nurses specialize in some area, but how does this process work? Do you pick a specialty early on in your schooling, or do you just decide when you enter the workforce? Can you switch specialization? I am just wondering. I'm not even i...

9. AMA must be disturbed

   linzyann replied to ERNP's topic in NP

   If you check out number 2, it says something a little bit more specific. "consumers believe that complex medical issues, surguries, procedures, and prescribing medication should be performed by medical doctors" This is the only part I object to. I d...

12. NP w/no desire for RN?

    linzyann replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in NP

    I am mainly interested in becoming an NP or a Nurse Midwife, but for me, spending some time as an RN is a major part of my education towards this role- sort of like an MD/DO residency. Thats the way I am looking at the situation, anyway.

    I was also considering going on after this to get a BSN, but since my end goal is to an NP, would this be worth my time?
