I have been a pre nursing student for a bit and have this fear of Foley catheters and the process of completing the procedure. I decided to try and desensitize myself today by watching a YouTube video on the procedure. It was on a live patient and on...

It's a little bit of both that get to me. I actually took a look at a stage 4 ulcer on the coccyx, yes it's gross and I can't imagine the pain they have, but I was able to look at it and stomach if. Fecal matter doesn't bother me, of course the smell...

thank you for commenting. I hope I didn't sound rude about the appearance of a female area. it's not that I am saying vaginas are ugly to look at or anything. that def is not my intention. You are not rude at all. I actually have been a PCT in a hos...

Thank you..I think you are right 100% about be becoming a Nurse, The first time I was called, I had to pass it up and I deferred my spot..I was then called again to fill my deferment. Again I had to pass up..and here I am now going into LPN school ne...

Hello everyone, First I just wanted to say thank you for reading this post, sorry for it being so long. it has been a very long time since I have been back on AllNurses.com and writing a post, but I have been struggling personally and feel others fro...

Hello All... I am going to be starting the nursing program at my college this fall. There is just one thing..I am afraid of inserting a urinary catheter!. Well not so much afraid but Im a guy and get that "feeling" in the guy area just thinking of ha...

I first want to just thank anyone who is taking the time to read this. I have not really spoken about what I am about to write with family or friends because of the fear they will not understand. So here I go.. I am entering my community colleges Nur...

Im currently going for my associates degree in nursing through a community college. I wanted to know since im finishing up my pre-reqs i have some extra time to take a few more classes which would count towards getting my bachelors. My question is, ...

My positive attributes that i have that will make me a good nurse would be im caring towards others and like to help make them feel better. i like the rewarding feeling you receive by seeing a person who is in pain and making them simile. i am hard w...

hello everyone. to make it a long story short, i suffer from social anxiety, ocd, and general anxiety. it is not severe where i get panic attacks everyday, but it does affect my cognitive thinking and make it very hard to make a decision sometimes. a...

Hey, I suffer from social anxiety also so i can relate to some extent. i am not in the nursing program yet, but i already worry about it when it does happen (probably the worst thing i can do) it is funny you wrote this bc i wanted to express my own ...

hey guys, im sort of stuck in a dilemma at home. Im currently enrolled in a community college in NJ and in the spring I will finish all of my pre-reqs (AP I&II, psyc, micro, etc) required for the ADN program at the school. Im currently on the wai...

I would defineitly shoot for AP I AND II. You wont need everything they teach in it for nursing school, but the overall course material will be a great foundation for nursing school and beyond, plus you need them if you plan on getting a BSN. Secondl...

you really dont need any prior knowledge of the material before entering the pre-reqs for the nursing program. Dont get me wrong coming straight out of high school and going into AP I does help just a little bit (there is some chemistry involved in A...

If you are having difficulty now with AP1 I would suggest you take AP II in a classroom setting. Im finishing up AP II right now and I found it to be just as hard as the first AP. I feel whoever the teacher is, it always helps to be in front of them ...

im a tech in the ER and what i see on this show and what i see in the "real" ER are two totally different things, but i enjoy it. For the male nurse on the show, i think hes a tool but it brings humor to the show, the stupidest things only happen to ...

Hey everyone. I have a general case of anxiety. I over think things sometimes and especially when it comes to someones life I second think what i am doing, and most of the time go blank when it comes to an emergency. I want to be a nurse and am doing...

Hey everyone. Im currently working in the emergency room as a PCA. I just started and have a little bit of anxiety throughout the day when handling patients. Im more on the quiet side when talking, but try to spark some kind of conversation with the ...

Email me and I will give you the counselor I use. He has been really good with me and knows a lot. Responds quick to emails and squeezes you in for appointments if he is full, which is most of the time.

Hello Everyone, I am currently attending college and finishing up my pre-reqs for Nursing. Which was my first choice entering back into college. The pre-reqs are almost the same for the respiratory therapy program as they are for the Nursing program,...
