and i forgot to add. I volunteered at a animal shelter last year during the summer... I witnessed some of the animals being put to sleep. I wasn't their when they were euthanized.... But , i walked the dogs and i sort of bonded with some of them and then a co-worker said its been a month and this dog hasnt been adapted and they were going to euthanize it.. And i missed them and felt bad. But i can deal with it.. i understand.. so yea.... not sure if this will help u with nursing..

What does EMT stand for? And how do i go on about taking classes for this. And what part time job can i do as a EMT while i am in highschool/college? And thanks for all the replies guys. P.s. Dam.. i really dont think i can get like a 90 and above in all of my pre requist classes on my first year of college... Grrr. i really want to help people and make a good living. but this is bs. that its so hard to get into a nursing program. I really dont know what to be now/study in college. Are their any other similar careers that make a decent living that arent so hard to get into? And i serously want to help.. Im not one of those people that just want the money.. I volunteered at my animal shelter over the summer last year . I am a caring person... And i will do the work.. As long as its explained to me correctly. And ok sure the nurses deal with peoples lives.. But if you studyed and know about the pills that you give them/iv's and all that. Then you should be fine when you are well educated..

i c.... thanks again tweety

thanks tweety... Ehm... is their anyway i can sign up somewhere to "shadow" registered nurses on weekends to see how it is in first person ... to get a better description.. And what did your nursing program require when yall tryed to sign up for the program(as in grades and such..) because wow 500 people reply and only 70 people get accepted.. no wonder their are nurse shortages.. Its bs.. my grades in highschool are the following Freshmen year GPA 83 Sophmore year GPA 60 Junior year GPA 84 Senior year GPA 82 ^ Overall.......... and i have no clubs/sports that i am in... Should i start looking for other careers because their may be a chance that i may not get accepted into any nursing program?

Thank you. I am reading the nature of work for rn's right now. Appreciate it. And sorry about my grammar. ill try to make my post readable.

..... i tried doing research but i am not really finding anything. i just get a brief paragraph of what rn's do. the best thing of my research taht i did was finding this site..... so can you guys plz help me so i dont make a big mistake. what do you yall do daily as an RN.

Dam. so what can i do to get into a nursing school to make it easier? What type of things do the college people look at when you apply for the nursing program

i c.. also is it hard to get accepted into a nursing program--unviersity /community college? like im a senior in highschool and my gpa was about a 85 unweighted for my freshmen and junior year. but my sophmore year i messed up bad and my gpa was like a 60. i was going through a real hard time.(i had a 83ish the first 2 quarters but then the last 2 quarters i started skipin skool and such..) and i didnt think rn's can be responsible for peoples lives. i thought they just treat little injuries. like broken fingers/burns/take ur pulse and such..

What is so tough about being a nurse? i am thinking about being a registered nurse and it seems like a great career. but alot of people complain that its hard and such.. whats hard bout it?

Ok so i am a senior in highschool this year and i am looking at colleges... MY question is... how do i transfer from a community college to a university? Do i earn my associate's degree first? then transfer? or would i tell them that i want to transfer and they will give me some type of other degree that i need to transfer to univeristy to get a Bsn orsomething. i want to be a registered nurse when i grow up and i want to be promoted to mangament and stuff. so which degree would i need? i live in ny btw. what type of degrees are their to.. can someone plz hlep me. i am so CONFUSED. =[

wait what would i do if the college doesnt offer the prereq's? do i take it some where else. im a little confused lol:no:

wait so if i go to a cummunity college, i ask if they have a nurseing program for an associates degree in registered nurse or w/e and then they say sure and if they only give me 2 years with out pre req, then i guess i wont need to take them? And when esactly should i start applying for these. Like should i start at this point now asking my local cummunity colleges to sign up for a nursing program by next year in the fall. And then i'll get my guidance teacher to help me with a university for nurseing.. And if i dont get into the university, ill at least have the cummunity college to go to.. Or wait can i do that? if i get accepted into the cummunity college program, could i tell them i change my mind (if i get accpeted into the 4 year?)

is their a place where i could call up to see if i could follow a rn around for a week (its summer and i have no school so yea). also, the nclex exam to get your degree in nurseing... what stuff are you tested on? and is it hard?

alright cool. thanks alot. Before coming to this forum i was thinking about becoming a CPA Accountant and if i didnt get accpeted into a 4 year college for that i was planning on becoming an rn at a cummunity college. but now i am debating to be an accountant or an rn lol. thanks for your help tweety. you really cleared alot of stuff on my mind:yeah:

Thanks alot !! :yeah:I'm not really confused anymore My last question would be, when people are hireing rn's if someone has a 4 year degree and i have a 2 year degree, would they take the 4 year degree over me? or will they look at it the same? Also, i can earn $60,000 a year with a cummunity college degree and even more (not at start. but over time..) right?
