  1. I'm only 22 years old.

    To the OP you're 22 grown and have a career. You should be proud of what you've done, and live with who you wish. Nothing wrong with living with someone at 22. This is in no way directed at the OP I just wanted to say something about all the comments...
  2. As a nurse, would you go on for an MD?

    Not all docs are bad. I married a great one, but I think I got lucky. I agree with the others though about the difference between the two. Shadowing is a great idea.
  3. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    While I do agree with essentially everything you posted there was just one thing. The very last couple of sentences. I know what you say is true, but that doesn't make it right. As long as people not necessarily new or old in their chosen profession ...
  4. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    The difference in work ethic among generations isn't completely that generations fault. After all that generation didn't raise themselves. As soooo many already have, and soooo many already will say it goes both ways.
  5. Personality Type and Nursing

    I think the idealists and rationals are "rare", with rationals being the most "rare". Not sure what all the types those two sections make up (too many to list) but they are listed on one of those pages.
  6. Personality Type and Nursing

    I was excited to see other INTJ's until I noticed I am INTP not J.
  7. Confused about majors

    No, not a freak at all. I completely relate. I loved organic. A little ashamed to say it but it's true. I'm a huge dork.
  8. Confused about majors

    How did you like physics? I really enjoyed it but struggled and it annoyed me to no end. I finally did get a good grasp on it, but the first couple of weeks had me wanting to burn the book.
  9. Confused about majors

    Never said those courses are required for humanities or social sciences degree. That doesn't mean that a student still can't elect take those courses (no need to bold anything I can read just fine). While I planned on nursing (looks like I won't foll...
  10. Confused about majors

    No, because any major can be a pre med major. That's the point. Any major can satisfy those pre reqs. It matters greatly to me that my hubby is an MD I do understand the terms it is you who seems to be confused. You stated that it was a pre med degre...
  11. Confused about majors

    I am quite sure of what I'm saying. My husband is an MD as was my father. There is no such thing as a pre med major. I read the link you provided and not to sound like an a@@ on my side but it doesn't further your argument that it is a pre med major....
  12. Confused about majors

    There still is no such thing as a pre med degree. Any degree, yes any degree, can satisfy the pre reqs for med school
  13. Confused about majors

    There really isn't such thing as a pre med degree. A bio chem degree is a bio chem degree. You can major in anything so long as the pre reqs are satisfied.
  14. Confused about majors

    Just wanted to add there are lots and lots of majors that are accepted to medical schools, and it isn't always science related. As long as you complete the prerequisites (good grades) and have a good MCAT score then you have a chance. Music majors an...
  15. Personality Type and Nursing

    INTP Now off to walk the dog :nuke:
  16. Wow, you guys have helped me over some rough spots!

    I'm really new to these boards and really new in nursing school. I just wanted to comment on how heart warming it is to read this. I already had a good feeling about how supportive it is here, but this is just very inspiring. A job well done to all o...
  17. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    avsmch - It is nice knowing I'm not the only one feeling that way. So thank you very much for sharing that with me. Especially since you thought about PT. I'm a triathlete and am pretty sports minded (one of the reasons I was initially drawn to PT). ...
  18. First let me say how happy I am to have found this place. What a great resource. I have been reading through past posts for the last three days (I'm on page 35) and have finally decided to post. Everyone seems really supportive, and honest. I have ju...
  19. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    I couldn't agree more with patients deserving better. If I was truly unhappy I couldn't fake it. I wouldn't be able to do it day after day. I would have the courtesy to leave the field. I guess I should also say opportunity to leave the field. I know...
  20. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    Is is possible for a new grad to go into specifc fields that don't deal as much with bedside? Is it highly recommended for a new grad to do a few years first and then start looking in other areas?
  21. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    TakeTwoAspirin, I take what you said a compliment. I am however, only in my early 20's. I am though and have always been a little more on the mature side. Not numerically but in other ways. Thank you kindly for your kind words.
  22. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    Indy, no not rambling at all. I haven't quit yet not quite at that point, but felt that is where I might be heading. I seem to pick things up quite quickly. Much to the dismay of some classmates who are loving nursing, and then the gal who isn't even...
  23. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    What is it about psych that you like? Sounds interesting. I guess with the burnout I worry because I stress more easily then others. I'm not sure if I have the back bone and thick skin.
  24. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    :chuckle:chuckle Well you certainly made me laugh at that one. It felt good. I think I would like to possibly try to become a nurse anesthetist, possibly the OR, maybe research in some capacity. I just wonder if the stress or burnout would get me fir...
  25. At a fork in the road...need your wisdom

    It's a BSN program but I've already completed the first two years (the pre-reqs and stuff) so I'm in the nursing program and have two years left (sorry should have made that more clear). I'm not sure what exactly it is that I'm not like about it. Som...
