I am transitioning from an ADN to a BSN, and I am very financially strapped right now. The RN-to-BSN program I hope to start wants proof of sufficient pharmacology. I didn't have a pharmacology class per se - it was embedded in the curriculum. I can ...

I posted recently using this term. I want to apologize for using it without knowing what it really means to you. I am (relatively) new to nursing - I have mostly worked as a scientist. Clearly it's not a nice thing to say, and I am sorry for titli...

Let's just be nice, can't we? Life is hard. It just is. It is so much easier - and it feels better - to lift someone up. You guys have done that with me, forgiven my words. Kindness is a good thing.

I feel bad for starting this mess. Please don't have bad feelings, people. Life is far too short. Thank you all for your input. I value your words, and I wish you all well.

I am not being age-ist, necessarily, but I have encountered a fair number of younger people who I can run circles around too, in terms of work (agriculture, so very physical stuff). I am twice their age - it's sort of ridiculous. Interesting to kno...

Lovely dog, Klone!

I want to work with you, specifically.

Thank you! I wish I hadn't jumped in before reading more, but I did, so here we are. I will be reading.

Ha! No, I suppose I didn't.

Well said.

Humans are wicked interesting. Thank you guys - sincerely - for listening to me and forgiving my stupid words. And thank you for making me laugh. I am so used to working with plants and non-human animals... it was a bit shocking to be jumped on f...

Kerfuffle is totally an awesome word.

I have. I'm happy with this program, though - the school is good, and I can finish the program in a year. Although I'm not happy about having to pay for the pharmacology test-out, brushing up on the pharm can only be a good thing, right? Trying to...

I would welcome more pharmacology. My original point - which was sort of lost in the kerfuffle I created - is that times are hard financially, and I believe I have sufficient pharmacology to enter a BSN program without having to pay to test out of i...

rrrrrrr

Thank you, and thank you for your patience.

My goal within nursing is to do something like that. I met a nurse while I was doing my clinicals who would take the worst shifts for the pay differential and then go abroad to do nursing where ever as long as she could afford it. She got to work o...

You guys are making me laugh. Thank you for that!

Oh, and... it was hot all the time, loads and loads of mosquitoes (with endemic malaria and dengue fever - thankfully, I contracted neither, though I did get roundworms and lice!)... but it's a beautiful country. The people are lovely, the food is a...

No... I was working in environmental restoration - mostly with mangrove ecosystems but also with sea turtles. It was an amazing experience - I also got to work a lot with farmers, fishermen, and women's groups. I would love to go back as a nurse!

Thank you for understanding, guys.

Wow... I am quite envious! I have long wanted to visit the south Pacific! So beautiful. And very chill, clearly. I lived in Sri Lanka for three years... it was pretty, but not quite like this. Food can't be beaten, though.

Thanks to all of you for talking to me. Best.

Thank you.

Thank you.
