  4. Help I'm being kicked out of nursing school!

    First of all... are students even allowed to handle narcotics by themselves? Were not allowed, therefore that would be impossible for me to have had the syringe last to dispose of it. Secondly, do you...

    gosh, sometimes its hard for me to believe that these kind of people actually
  6. CNA vs. OB Tech

    I vote for OB tech, especially if the main motivation for the other is money. If you feel like you can manage with the less money the OB tech position provides, I say go for it. Its where your heart...

  8. New Nursing Student Starting in January

  9. Finally finished with Peds!

    I dont find peds to be challenging however I do find OB to be pretty tough. Ive gotten straight A's in nursing school so far, and Im pretty sure I may be getting a B in OB. It also probably has a lot...

    I can really relate to the feelings in your post. Being 21 years old, most of my friends are more worried about what bar to go to this weekend. Quite honestly, I wish that were my only worries right...
  18. What do I do now? I am so crushed!!

    Sorry.. One more thing I thought about. Why dont you get a job as a CNA, like NOW. It will take probably a year of full time to get at least 1000 hrs.... As long as your grades/teas score are good,...
