yay! good for you. yeah, i'm always hearing about hard hard the nicu is to get into. i hope i can achieve one day what you alreayd have. please let us know how it
Ahh!! ME too! I have been to three classes so far. We have not done a lab yet. No, she's used the last two Wednesday lab time as more lecture time! I seriously had to sit from 10:30-2:30 of back to...
Why can't you tell them it is mandatory to be quiet in the NICU? Trust me...I know how people can be. They have NO SENSE. They just shout and are so loud and have no respect for those around them....
Four weeks? How is that even possible? Why would they allow such a thing?? We have 8 week courses but not for Micro. I just started my 16 week course. It's not so bad. CHEMISTRY IS WHAT'S TERRIBLE!...
It sounds like you'll be happy doing either one and you're so lucky for that. But I think you should work in the NICU. But I'm biased since working in the NICU is my ultimate goal. Pray about it as...
Well, I am about to start my pre-requisites in 2 weeks. I have my heart set on being a Neonatal Nurse. But then today I felt kind of sick to my stomach after taking some new medication (for my PCOS)....
Yeah, you're probably right. I'm hoping had I been feeling 100% I would have reacted to the news a lot differently. But for some reason talking about "ribs" always made me feel uncomfortable since I...
Hello. I am taking Micro and Chem. I'll take Anatomy in the summer and Physiology in the Fall. AHH!! I wish I would have known I wanted to be a nurse a year ago and could have gotten these silly...
I'm in California too and this is making me nervous. I wanna know what your TEAS test score was and what your science GPA was and which schools you applied to in Cali and other states!! Thanks
My school says to take Anatomy first, then Microbiology, then Physiology. Well, I'm taking Microbio first but oh well. There are different pre-reqs depending on which school you're applying to. Make...
Yeah, that's what I thinking too. That you would just get over it and do what needs to be done for the sake of the baby's life and not worry about it hurting or being uncomfortable for a bit. It was...
haha thats great that you had a good experience...but I have to be honest. If/when I ever give birth there is no way I'm letting any man in the room besides my husband! I want a female doctor too! So,...
I am planning on being a nurse in the NICU someday as well. I have some questions/concerns that I'll just add to your post instead of making a new thread... I was Christmas shopping yesterday and...
wow you can still get into a University by Jan?? My deadline was back in November. Just be honest and genuine about why you want to be a nurse. Say that you have a strong work ethic and have a strong...
Hey everybody. My question is do Nursing students do a lot of research papers? I just changed my major from Psychology which is all about research to nursing. I figured nursing would be more hands on,...
Thank you for the post. I guess I just pictured myself on graduation day with a Psychology degree thinking, "Cool. Now, what in the heck do I do with this? I can't remember what I've learned!" That...
I realize you don't have a crystal ball, but you were pretty snarky with your tone. I really haven't learned much from writing the majority of my research papers. I keep getting all these "A's" and...
Thank you for the condesending tone, I appreciate it. I have been in College for four years. So, I think I know how to write a research paper or two *rolls eyes* (FYI received all As) The reason I...
Hey everyone. I'm Hannah. I'm 22 and currently attending a community college. I sent out the applications to a couple different Universities in Southern California over a month ago. Then, something...
This thread really broke my heart. But I am just so glad to hear he isn't suffering anymore. I hope I can learn and be as strong as you if I go through something similar when I become a neonatal...
Thank you for the welcome! This is just a huge step for me and I am so glad I found this message board. It's great. Is a PCT a patient care tech? I'd still have to wait until the after my first...
