hi all. just wondering if anyone here is attending or planning to attend the hopfer school of nursing in mount vernon..? i am trying to get my minimum 3 pre req's done so that i can apply for fall semester coming. any inside info on what to expect as...

That is super cute and very funny! :rotfl:

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 and children and responsibilities. I admire that y...

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 because the inside of a body (even though it isn't ...

Hyperbole and a Half This really had me laughing with uncontrollable merriment until the tears flowed. ... And, I detest the "OMG...I'm sooo depressed over the B+ I got in [insert class here] Do you think I can still get into nursing school??????"

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 was doing you a favor. She has been a nurse for qui...

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 regards to this particular post. I think I shall u...

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 opposite, then there would be a positive reponse to ...

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 and I am now able to sleep. HUH-RAY!

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 classes-as opposed to me being in nursing school with o...

Hey Carol :) Don't have any experiences to share, just wanted say good-luck and congrats on the new job! Also, here is a link to the correctional nurses section here on AN-I enjoy reading stuff over there. I look forward to reading your posts on the...

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 worked hard for said title. Why the trouble of trying t...

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, in which you would get a BA in PA. The three I kno...

I remember I started lurking right after I had my son in June 2007...it took me six months to finally register and make it official.

Yah, really lol

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 myself) but if you did good on the LVN test, I see no...

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 home, read my chapters, read my notes, make more n...

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 what's going on with their babies and that fear turns...

Hi! I wish I could help you a little further with your questions, but I just wanted to say that if you're going for this--prepare yourself well! Many moons ago, I took the exam for this and was totally unprepared. Have they suggested a study guide. I...

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, drained...doesn't even begin to describe it. The pain. I want to ...

beautiful. me too.

Thank you both for your kind words. I realized this morning that, maybe, I shouldn't have posted this. Please excuse my insensitivity. I swear I didn't mean it as such. I have been in al anon on and off for 4 years. Just recently though, they closed ...

"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 offered twice a month by the Hospital, and yes they get...

*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 Japan being taught english in school as a second lan...

LMAO!!!
