No, I am not a nursing assistant. I have to be certified and I won't be able to get that until I finish my first semester of nursing school. I'll look into your suggestion regarding a senior...
Congratulations! I think my school originally didn't tell us when the earliest letters would be sent for fear the mailman would be hounded! I was told that we would be notified via mail by the end...
:yeahthat: I didn't think of the question that way but I definitely agree with Commuter. It is very competitive and quite a few people in my class applied to 2 or more different places. Good
I am a 41 year old mom of two teenagers, a DS and a DD. I don't think I realized how much I wanted to be a nurse until I put my application in and was accepted. Not because I was nonchalant about...
This is probably off topic but I just wanted to say how inspiring it is to see so many falks around my age continuing on with their education. I thought I would be too old to go get my BSN at 43!...
I am currently in the DCCC/CCH program. I had thought about the LPN route as well. What changed my mind was my lab partner during Anatomy class. She had just graduated from CAT-Brandywine's LPN...
I don't think you are a weenie! I have a good friend who graduated from LPN school last year and is working on her RN. She thinks RN school is easy! (Not me, although I don't think it is super...
Well, just to add my nickel here. I thought 41 was too old (my age). But just about everyone here and out there (off this board) said go for it. Now I want to say that to you. Go for it. If you don't,...
Hi , I am currently in an RN program for two reasons: (1) it is less exensive than the LPN program (roughly $6,000 for two years, RN or $15,000 for one year, LPN). The impression that I get from the...
When I was a nursing student the first time (1993) I had a patient with ESRD and he also went fast. I went in at 7:00 am and his rectal temp was 95. So I had a feeling but was hoping he wouldn't die...
I have been accused of the same thing. That I must be "sucking up", when the truth of the matter is that I am usually just a happy, like to help out kind of person. When I try to be anything but...
I am in an ADN program. Our clinical starts at 6:45 am. No lateness. If you show up at 6:45 am and are not ready to go out onto the floor, it counts as being late. You only get two "lates" or you...
I record using my PDA that was recommended for my program. It is digital and I must say I definitely prefer it over the cassette recorder that I used to
I really enjoyed your pictures too! Thanks so much for sharing them! I think you look terrific! Congratuations! Do you know what kind of nursing that you want to
