    psychiatric aid or pharm tech: which job will help me in nursing career?

    jesskidding replied to mee9mee9's topic in Nursing Career

    dilemma, best option? ADN hard to find job?

    jesskidding replied to effloresco's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go for the accelerated BSN option. This would probably be the quickest route if you are wanting to become a NP. If you go the ADN route there are RN-MSN programs. At UNC-Chapel Hill they have...

    jesskidding replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't feel like it's enough. It wouldn't be for me, but I'm just a student nurse working as a CNA on a med/surg floor. The CN tried to put me by myself after being with a preceptor for...

    Best way to save money when buying Text Books for BSN program?

    jesskidding replied to Sweetaprils's topic in General Students

    I bought half on Amazon and the other half I had to buy in the bookstore because they came in a "special bundle" from the publisher. The books on Amazon were about $10-$20 less than in the college...

    54 year old sahm, am I nuts to think I want this?

    jesskidding replied to cathyn518's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I think you should go for it! I made a wonderful friend in my CNA class who is 62. She went onto nursing school just like me. I don't think you could ever be too old to learn something new. I...

    jesskidding replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    I could care less if someone wishes me a "cheery" good morning. It's not going to ruin my day. If someone doesn't agree with me then that's fine too. Everyone has their own opinions and they might not...

    It's going to take me 3 years to earn ADN. Does that sound right?

    jesskidding replied to my3mracles's topic in General Students

    When all is said and done for me.....it will have taken me 4 years to earn an ADN. When I first started my journey to NS, I was taking pre-reqs part time. That took 2 years. I will graduate NS in May...

    Attention Nurses....

    jesskidding replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh. Your above statement on "People who aren't taking N101 don't even know such a thing as 'philosophy of nursing' is just plain ridiculous. Are you saying you never once thought before you where a...

    Attention Nurses....

    jesskidding replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    That's fine. You are exactly the type of person I wouldn't want to know their philosophy on nursing or life anyways. Not trying to be harsh, but you seem like you already have your mind made up about...

    Like I said, I am working as a CNA in a hospital around RN's and since I am getting ready to start NS, it was on my mind. Maybe I think too much. I have been thinking about what my philosophy would...

    If this was an assignment why would I want to turn in your philospohy on nursing??? Wouldn't I want to give my own opinion? I have plenty of thoughts and opinions on my own beliefs, I don't need to...
