    Before I comment, can I ask what it is that you want to do because it seems like you are on different paths right now. Without worrying about building on your degree or what kind of programs are...
  10. Harrird I don't think it is weird at all. The poster happens to be young, many people wait and waste many years before realizing that they wished they had gone another route. Maybe she will come to...
  11. I don't know her but I am all for positive people doing their thing so I would definitely support her event and recommend her. I'm glad to see someone who knows her vouch for her, she seems very...

  19. If you could do it again- what would you learn...

    Reviewing pathophysiology, that is the basis of just about any type of nursing you will do. To know the "normal" vs "abnormal". If I had known better I would have brushed up on this because I...
  20. High School Student Wanting To Become An RN?

    YES it
  21. What can I do with my degree?

    Just curious, when you say you want to 'do something with nursing' what is your reasoning behind this because when I hear this and then I hear you say 1 or 2 nights a week and 'maybe dermatology',...
  22. I wanted to work home health but was hesitant due to lack of clinical experience. Although I have known others that have done this and they say the family will help troubleshoot equipment etc., I...
