As I research career options,I have to be realistic with myself.I want a career where I can make a positive change as well as make enough money to support myself and my family.Do Nurses make over $50,000 straight out of school? What is the 411 on sa...

If you could do it again,what career would you choose to pursue instead of Nursing?What are your reasons?

What was the worst job you had before becoming a Nurse? How has Nursing changed your life?

What makes the job stressful? I don't preform well under stress which I think is partly due to having anxiety (although not diagnosed).As I prepare to go back to school,I'm trying to finalize my choice of major.

I'm not sure if it's bad luck or my destiny, but I feel as if I am not making any progress.I started off well,thinking that my actions would lead to a bright future.After enrolling at a community college straight after high school,I worked my butt o...

I currently work in retail and it's driving me nuts.What's a decent place to work in the meantime, while I embark on my journey of becoming a Nurse?

Great advice,thank you for your positive words.

Thank you all :)

I just don't understand what's going on.Things have been the same for quite a while.I'm sure counseling ,like you suggested, wouldn't hurt.

I've always wanted to be a Nurse,but my plans were put on hold for quite a while.I'm going back to school this year and I'm just researching career options.Nursing was a dream of mine after high school,over a decade ago.Despite my high gpa,I didn't m...

I entered college with a passion for Nursing.However,I got rejected 3 times with a 3.55 GPA! I lost interest,switched my major from Prenursing to Liberal arts.I graduated this year with my A.A and a GPA of 3.47.I was thinking of becoming a Teacher bu...

Oh gosh,where do you live dear? These people should come to New York.A job position is almost guaranteed after passing the NCLEX.

i have spoken with a few nurses.alot of them like their jobs,but many of them told me they did it b/c "thats where the money is" or b/c they had to take care of their children.i have also met students who couldnt get a job with the degree they had an...

well,nothing is easy.i am up for the challenge.btw,we have the same name i think.lol

I understand what you mean.Nursing is hard,but I've seen so many people become Nurses and they're GPA's are not as high as mine.I never said I didn't like Nursing,though.Im not as passionate about it as before,but I have always believed that Nursing ...

Thats great,congrats!Will I get waived since I have a A.A? What was your GPA when you applied? You were waived from the general ed.courses but what about the prereqs?What were they?When do you intend on finishing?

I was thinking about Adelphi and Molloy :-).Oh gosh,Touro college? My husband works there LOL.Their Nursing program is not accredited yet.Beth Israel was suppose to allocate my application to LICH,I dont know what happened.I didnt call neither becaus...

You need your Master's or maybe even a PHD to practice as Psychologist.Im not a Nurse but I can still become one.Social workers don't get paid well enough.Plus,I don't think it's my calling.Teaching is great but competiting against 10 other people fo...

What school are you attending for Physical Therapy?What was your GPA when you applied? It is difficult but I know alot of people doing it.My former classmate was pregnant while attending Nursing school.Even after giving birth she continued on.My cous...

I don't like the area York college is in and I have worked too hard as a student to become a LPN.I already have 65 credits in Liberal Arts studies.I applied to CUNY Manhattan CC and Beth Israel.

I had a 3.55 overall GPA for my prereqs.The community college I went to had very limitted space.

That is true.The expensive schools accept more students since they have more instructors.Suny and Cuny tuition are around the same amount.I applied to Beth Israel but did poorly on the Verbal part of the exam.If I had done better,I think I would have...

Why is it that people were able to get into Nursing school with a 2.5 just a few years ago?Thats not the reason.I think a 3.55 GPA is excellent,but I got rejected three times.Like most people said,it has to do with the fact that there are more studen...
