  1. Help!! Math Test!!

    futurecnm replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, we had to memorize them also but if I remember right there are only about 10 max that you have to really memorize and the rest you can get from those. The grains are also just a conversion so...

  2. Nursing Degree info - PLEASE READ and HELP

    futurecnm replied to Foz693's topic in International Nursing

    THere are so many options that I suggest you go to your local colleges and meet with an advisor. They will be able to tell you the specifics. You can get a 2 yr associates degree or a bachelors...

  3. Have to work in hospital while in school?

    futurecnm replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Nursing

    No, it isn't necessary. I am not working while in school, except this summer I am doing an internship for 10 weeks which will hopefully help me later on. I think you should try for an internship or...

  4. Can a nursing student and family survive on one income?

    futurecnm replied to Sebastiansmom09's topic in General Nursing

    most of my class works so it is definately do-able to do both work and college. They all recommend not working but most people can do both, it may be hard but worth it. I think you've gotten some...

  5. I'm a noob, but please help :)

    futurecnm replied to kubby83's topic in General Nursing

    I am a RN student right now but I have "heard" (no first hand experience) that it is pretty hard to get a job in a clinic. First, that is what a lot of people want so once they get there they tend to...

    futurecnm replied to positivelee's topic in General Nursing

    Have you taken any science classes for your other degree? I'm sure you have interpersonal communications, psych, sociology right? Having those will make things quicker. Then you only need to do...

  7. an exciting journey ahead...

    futurecnm replied to positivelee's topic in General Nursing

  8. What If....

    futurecnm replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    You would probably know before you finish the entire 3 years. Nursing school is very hands on training, and you will find out in clinicals if nursing is for you. We have had a few people decide it...

  9. Will this limit my nursing opportunities? (kind of long)

    futurecnm replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know any of the legal stuff, but as a nursing student I can attest to the fact that it is hard on your back, I have learned to ask for help all the time to turn, lift, assist patients. I have...

  10. Male Urologic Dilemma

    futurecnm replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    I would do what you need to do to take care of your health. I would search around and try to find males to treat you but if that isn't possible (there will most likely be a female involved) then I'd...

  11. What nursing shortage?

    futurecnm replied to labfreak's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in MN and every new grad I know has gotten a job, pretty easily. There seem to be jobs for new grads, and you maybe can't be too picky but there are plenty of jobs (from what I've seen). I am in...

    futurecnm replied to bigtimer225's topic in General Nursing

  14. Pregnant while in nursing school??

    futurecnm replied to crissy2629's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would depend on a number of things : 1. do you get sick while pregnant? I get very sick and would not be able to participate in clinical, studying, school work being that sick. And...

  15. single parents and 12 hour shifts.

    futurecnm replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you find some teens in the neighborhood that would be able to come in as a backup if needed? Usually they like the extra money and if you could get the kids a ride home, the teen could come...

  16. Resume Questions....

    futurecnm replied to nurseofalltrades's topic in General Nursing

    we were told to start in Jan/Feb if we graduate in may. Before boards. They will hire you before you

  17. Nursing or X-ray

    futurecnm replied to Juzmi's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess the pre-reqs must be the same for both?? But then I think you need 2 yr of nursing clinicals to get a nursing degree? Or maybe you are talking at accelerated program, those are 1-1.5 yr but...

  18. Keeping skills sharp during summer break

    futurecnm replied to SN bbgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing a 10 week internship at a hospital. But obviously that isn't an option for everyone. I have to say if I wasn't doing this intern I can't say I'd be doing a lot of studying or practicing!...

  22. What should I do?

    futurecnm replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    How low were the grades in A&P? IF they were C's, I would re-take. If they were B's, I think I wouldn't. Do you have all your pre-reqs done? Some schools are so competitive you have to have...

    futurecnm replied to AlsgalRN's topic in General Nursing
