  3. Can I do nursing?

    life_aknew replied to KaitlynLeighx3's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not a nurse nor a nursing student but I wanted to jump in here to commend you for going after your dream. There are many of us who start out late in life just because and end up juggling spouses...

  4. worried about dissection

    life_aknew replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain. I thought that I was going to have a problem with actually seeing the cat and then cut into it...but I didn't. Not because I'm not a cat lover or because I'm a vegan (I am not) but...

  5. Nurse trying to scare me away from RN/Nursing in general

    life_aknew replied to camci's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I certainly can empathize with the feelings of discouragement and negativity, I really don't think that she meant it as you took it. Unless she is just plain ole batty, I think she thought she...

  6. Standing out in nursing school

    life_aknew replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    Honestly, CuriousMe, take it as you perceive it. My main focus should have been to give the OP some sort of support and/or understanding--not to guide others down the same course I chose to follow in...

  7. Standing out in nursing school

    life_aknew replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    I don't get it. I don't get what no one gets about the OP's post. More and more I notice that when someone comes here to 'vent' they get strung up by the heels to dry. If the post were the complete...

    life_aknew replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank goodness I signed in today. I haven't been sleeping well lately and while I say God bless his young ambitious curious soul for wanting to go for nursing--this post instantly drained me mentally...

  9. Debate of the nursing schools

    life_aknew posted a topic in New York Nursing

    so my plan didn't go as planned and i am still taking pre req's-instead of being in nursing school. it's probably for the best, because this gives me a chance to research some more and take more...

  11. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    life_aknew replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    Debating, and I'm putting that lightly, is fine. Quite healthy. But what is with all the venomous comments about someone's career? No matter how much you look down on it, PA's, NP's, Nurses, etc...

  12. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    life_aknew replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    My sister is going for PA...I do hope she doesn't have that complex the OP mentioned. I'm older than her and will sock her one But, there are programs in NY that accept students without a bachelors,...

  13. How long have you been here?

    life_aknew replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Concorde's Medical Assistant or LVN Program?

    life_aknew replied to Cconde86's topic in California Nursing

    Please...Please, the LVN for sure. I have no idea why they are advising you to take the MA track first (I think to make more money off of you but no one asked my opinion on that so I'll keep it to...

  16. Nervous about A&P I

    life_aknew replied to dminto's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm, the best way to get rid of the fear-I'm not sure. I always have a little bit of fear of not doing well with any class I take. BUT, the thing that used to help relieve some of my anxiety was to go...

  17. Angry mom made me cry last week

    life_aknew replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have no advice for you, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that you felt unappreciated. Being on the other side of things, I could offer that this is a scary time for parents. They don't know...

  19. I don't know what to do anymore (a spectator's grief)

    life_aknew posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    He hates when I write about him. I just don't have much of an outlet these days. I can't sleep; haven't been able to for more than a few hours for almost 2 weeks now. Sad, devastated,...

    life_aknew replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    "Most of the Nurses I work with speak enough Spanish to get by in between language line sessions, but there are still a few who refuse to learn any Spanish, even though basic Spanish classes are...

  23. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    life_aknew replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    *Sigh* If people in America (healthcare and non) want to learn another language provided by the gracious government of the US of A then by all means-have at it. But surely, there is a difference of...

    life_aknew replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    I live in NY, the self proclaimed epitome of the melting pot. I see it everyday. Not everyone is bi-lingual, so I'm not sure how they will get by. How I will get by. They aren't many jobs in the...
