  1. what age did you decide to become a nurse

    Satori77 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I would say 25. My mom was a nurse since I was 12, but I never considered it back then. I love anatomy and medical stuff, but wanted to work with animals, so I became a vet tech. I first thought about...

  2. Switching Specialties

    Satori77 replied to Runninwoo's topic in Nursing Career

    I definitely second standing up for yourself. This used to be the norm, but it isn't allowed anymore. I would have a conversation with the doctors in private. Maybe they don't realize they are doing...

    Satori77 replied to hopefulsunshine's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  4. Frustrated New Grad

    Satori77 replied to blueyes27's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I know two recent grads in CO (in the last few years). One was working as a CNA in a hospital, so she got hired on there after graduating. The other one worked in a nursing home, then an urgent care...

  6. Did You Go Into Nursing For One Specialty?

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've heard lots of nurses say (on here and ones I know in real life), to not pick a specialty before going to nursing school. That you will likely change your mind what you want to do. But I'm...

  7. Need opinion from non-Corrections nurses

    Satori77 replied to livinnew's topic in General Nursing

    I think correctional nurses are hardcore. That is not an area I see myself in. I would be too intimidated. And as for oncology nurses, I have such respect for them. A friend of mine is an oncology...

  8. Did You Go Into Nursing For One Specialty?

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of great advice and stories, thanks so much for sharing! I'm sure I'll change a lot in nursing school, and out in the real world. I was mostly curious how often people go in, knowing what they...

  9. Front Range Community College January 2015 start

    Satori77 replied to TheRedNurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

  12. Did You Go Into Nursing For One Specialty?

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    And just to be clear, I never said I would only take a job in the NICU. There are three other specialties that I am interested in and think I would enjoy. It's just that NICU is what drew me into...

  13. Did You Go Into Nursing For One Specialty?

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

  14. If you didn't start in NICU

    Satori77 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I love the new grad support thread. But I am also curious to hear from people who did not get their dream NICU job right out of school. What unit(s) did you work on? Do you feel they helped you either...

    Satori77 replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat with needing a full courseload of I will lose my financial aid. But I agree about not taking more than one science at a time, unless they come very easily to you. If you...

  17. Thinking about nursing school while raising a toddler

    Satori77 replied to kjw287638's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The biggest thing is to make sure you have a great support system. I first started thinking about nursing school when my kids were little. But my husband was on the road, and I didn't have anyone...

  20. Front Range Community College January 2015 start

    Satori77 replied to TheRedNurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I knew about the UCCS dual enrollment. It's exciting about UNC. I know a nurse that graduated from FRCC almost 4 years ago. He is working ER at PVH and earning his BSN right now. So there are jobs out...

    Satori77 replied to Mrsclay2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
