I am sure there are other RNs out there who may already have a BA or a BS degree in another field, and some of us even have Master's degrees in other related healthcare fields. Some employers will not recognize any other BA or BS degrees even though...

Good for you! I went back to school in my mid 40's and I find I am a better student now than I have ever been in my life. Nursing is a demanding and well respected field. You will do well. I envy your welding skills though! I have tried to do a ...

King Cody, I say....step in to your AUTHENTIC self. Whatever that is. People will only see your competence and will immediately be grateful if you help them get well. If people don't understand you then there is a great opportunity for you to demons...

Folks, I live in New Mexico and there are only a handful of schools that offer Microbiology here and they've already filled up the classes I need that don't conflict with my Nursing courses. Does anyone know of any national school that has a totally...

What a great plan! Tell your wife I said CONGRATULATIONS and continued good luck on your career path! John in New Mexico

Hey, Once you finish School you may want to consider the military. They have an EXCELLENT CRNA program. You do know how much the tuition is for CRNA school, right? If you can swing a military hitch, that's what I would do if I were your age! John

Hey Guys! I've posted before but for those of you who don't know me I am 49 and about to finish my level 1 in an accelerated RN program at a community college. One has to have a previous degree (BS) in something to get into the program. I had a ver...

Very good advice! Excellent.

Que Bueno! QUERER ES PODER, no? I have many Cuban friends. I love CUBA!!!! I am very proud of you. My name is John. I live in New Mexico but I am from Atlanta and I had many Cuban friends there. They are VERY good people. Have you seen Fareinheit...

I am going to start believing RIGHT NOW that things start getting MUCH better for you. We can all be REVERSE PARANOIDS. That means we believe that the universe is CONSPIRING to do GOOD things for us. You give good care to your clients. That has ge...

I'd eat dog food right out of the can before I'd stay at a place like that. I agree with the previous post. Sprout a pair, stand up for yourself, or get the Heck out of there. It sounds like a bad soap opera. Seriously, start looking for another ...

Look. Life is just way too short for that kind of immature nonsense. I doubt anyone in administration said "shut up or you'll be dismissed". If they have, try to document it covertly and then go to administration with your concerns and tell them i...

Hey Guys! My name is John and I am in New Mexico. I just resigned from my job at Intel as a Technical Project Manager to go to school full time to get my RN. I am in my late 40's and decided that I wanted to do something more meaningful with my lif...

I think you are TOTALLY cool for being so honest with yourself. BRAVO! Look, none of us are on this planet for very long so I say....enjoy the ride. The most important thing is that you live an AUTHENTIC life. If you feel like nursing is not your...

I am so sorry to hear about your son. I have heard that is the worst loss a human being can experience. Don't worry, you'll see him again on the other side. I wish you well and I applaud your courage. John

Hey! Have you ever heard of the "COMMISIONED CORPS"? It's a totally cool military healthcare arm of the military. You can work for the federal government in any one of their hospitals. They pay a 20K student loan repayment once you get your RN an...

When you say "here" how are people supposed to know where "here" is?

Brother.....why do you care what other people think about nurses, male of female. Hold your head up high and dare others to go where you have gone! Bravo for following your dreams. Be proud of who YOU are, whatever that is, and live a genuine life...

"straight shooters?" What's your point here brother? Why do you care what other dudes are in to? Focus on being the best you can in your career and why ARE YOU EVEN THINKING about the other dudes in your class??????? You need to "shoot straight" a...

I live in New Mexico, do they let out of state students take online classes? I can't find it on the web page for the school system.

Dear Colleagues, I am a nursing student looking for some advice regarding a small equipment pack that you wear around your waist or upper leg. I find I need tape, scissors, penlight, pens, my wallet, etc. I've gone through several small "man bags" ...

So you made a mistake. It is regretable but it happens. The enivornment to report a medication error is supposed to be one without retriburion. It should be a safe place for us to go if and when we make a medication error. The PROCESS should be in...

I agree with my colleague here. Remember folks, nursing and medical school are unlike other educational paths in that they cannot marticulate 100 or 200 students in every class. The limiting factor here is that they can only admit a handful of stud...

Congratulations brother. It will be the toughtest thing you've ever done but hang in there. May I give you some advice? Don't let yourself get behind. Do your assingments, care plans, paperwork, required readings, etc in advance of the due date. ...

WOW! I would love to meet you sometime and pick your brain and just interview you. Sounds fascinating!!!!!! I cannot wait till this summer when I graduate. I am applying at Pres to be a Nurse Extern, hope I get accepted!
