Hello I'm in school now and will be receiving my certificate next Spring but I have no experience in medical/health field. I see experience is as important as education so I would like to know how is it volunteering. I'm a little nervous about it, I ...
Hello All I'm 24 and I'm thinking about becoming a nurse. I'm choosing this as a career because of how bad the economy is in Michigan, especially Flint and it seems healthcare is the only secure field to go into. I don't know whether to go to Mott o...
Hello I'm starting Baker in Flint this coming Friday. I'm a little anxious. I know I have a long road ahead but its rewarding at the end, I hope. I'm 25 and I just feel like I'm too old to start college, most of the people I went to school with went ...
I'm still undecided on whether I should go to Baker, Mott, or Davenporrt in Flint for nursing? I found Baker makes one go three years for an Associates in Nursing which I saw at many places that it should be two years. Mott has a wait list and for Da...
Me and my mom have been going back and forth trying to figure out should I go into nursing. She and I feel it might be too hard for me and that no matter how hard I try I might not cut it. Will some nurses please tell me what nursing involves? what k...

I know in this thankless world, I won't always get appreciated but I really do want to help people. I've been told one should do a job because they love it, not because of the pay but in this day and age, money is number one on everyone's list so peo...

I never been good with tests and studying but I've been told I'm such a kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic person that I should be a nurse, I know there's more to nursing then having a good personality, I just don't know, I fear failure I guess....

Practical nurses, patient care aides, and medical assistants, I feel sorry for because from what I hear a lot of them have to do the so-called dirty work or slave work that the nurses don't want to do, whatever the nurses don't want to do they make t...

Of course nurses have a lot of responsibility but having a degree doesn't make one responsible as I said the greatest nurses in history never had a degree (do that make them incompetent as a nurse, some had schools named after them and their in the h...

Of course nurses have a lot of responsibility but having a degree doesn't make one responsible as I said the greatest nurses in history never had a degree but were the best so a degree doesn't determine you're going to be a great, responsible nurse b...
I had my orientation at Baker in Flint on Wednesday. It was really nice. The people was so wonderful and helpful. The health science people seem to be really interested in you and making sure you get it and making sure your comfortable and have all t...

Who came up with the idea that nursing should be apart of college and one must have a degree? I feel if one wants to be a nurse, nursing should be the main thing taught in a nursing school or hospital. In WWII, many women who volunteered their time w...

Never said anything about having easier training. I was saying there should be various options for a woman to become a nurse besides college. I think I would learn more in a hospital on how to be a nurse then anywhere else. Hospitals use to have scho...
:confused:This doesn't have anything to do with nursing but it does have something to do with the medical field. I'm going to Baker in the Fall but I'm not sure what to major in. I don't know why but I want to work in a hospital setting. These are th...

Thanks for the info everyone. I really do want to work in an hospital setting. I haven't put nursing off my list completely but looking at other things. What are some jobs in the hospital that doesn't deal with patients as much? I know of Health Info...

I would love to be a nurse but I feel I couldn't cut it. I hear hard it is even for people with the best grades. I've never been the smartest so I probably would never get into nursing. What is another high paying job? I was checking out Diagnostic M...

I live in Flint. I was told there is no waiting list at Baker BUT the program would take three years to complete not two. I would get in based on grades and as someone else stated else stated I might have to wait because someone might have better gra...

I went to Baker today and I was told it was three years. I thought it would be a two year degree, that's where I read everywhere. I prepared myself for two years but not three. Now I will have to look into Davenport. What have you all heard about Dav...
