  1. If you were writing this....

    futurecnm replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

  2. Should I change my feild

    futurecnm replied to Simple Life's topic in General Nursing

    There are different answers for everyone. It depends on so many factors. Cost, convenience (what programs are near you), drive time, days of class, and how many pre-reqs you have done. It is obviously...

  3. Should I change my feild

    futurecnm replied to Simple Life's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can finish in a year. If you do an accelerated program it is about 18 months and that is after you have all your pre-reqs done. You most likely need to have general chemistry,...

  6. I Don't Have a Math Brain, But Want To Be a Nurse!

    futurecnm replied to Trixie-Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing math is WAY easier than algebra!! I agree that if you can get through chem, than the math will be so easy. Chem math is harder. Also, the math aspect is one of the easiest ones of nursing....

  7. Opinions and information needed. :)

    futurecnm replied to MamaBabyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am also getting my AD from a community college. Both community colleges by me offer a BSN program through them run by another university. Also, some of the hopsitals have classes on site, and if you...

    futurecnm replied to Dixiecup's topic in General Nursing

    My younger brother has had a lot of problems that my parents have tried to help him out. His are mainly financial but he has had other issues also involving drugs etc. My parents tried multiple times...

  9. How long did it take you to get into nursing school?

    futurecnm replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    Got in the first time I applied, but I had all the pre-reqs done. My school is based on how many classes you had completed and your gpa, so there is no wait list. Just apply and they take 50 and if...

    futurecnm replied to djmac's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am a nursing student (1st year) and we had to pass a performance test for taking BP. How did your wife pass hers??? Anyway, I would have her try different ear pieces and different brands of...

  11. Do you really hate your job?!?

    futurecnm replied to jrsmrs's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student so I can't answer your questions, but I wanted to urge you to look into associates programs. They are MUCH cheaper and that way you won't be in a ton of debt after you graduate. I also...

  13. What's worse than having a strict grading range?...

    futurecnm replied to kimmie518's topic in General Nursing

    i have to kind of disagree with this, because i have found out that there is some competition for internships/rn positions where i am (midwest). i just interviewed for an internship program, and...

  14. Need tips for working with student RNs!

    futurecnm replied to Fairlythere's topic in General Nursing

    our instructors are responsible for supervising us giving meds. The nurses are too busy to do that. We are to ask our instructor to help us with things. We are to watch the RN and can ask questions...

  15. What's worse than having a strict grading range?...

    futurecnm replied to kimmie518's topic in General Nursing

    That is how all the community colleges here grade, there are no + or -. And no, your GPA is just for that grade (A = 4.0 etc). If they don't have the option of + or - they wouldn't adjust the gpa...

  16. IS it ok to wear scrubs to an interview?

    futurecnm replied to WinksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say this is tacky, but I am not a nurse yet. I would never do it though. I think business attire is appropriate for interviews, regardless of the

  18. How bad would it be to get pregnant while in nursing school?

    futurecnm replied to Soup Turtle's topic in General Nursing

    I have thought about this, as I had a pg scare (have 2 kids already and an IUD). I would be totally devastated, because I get VERY sick when I'm pregnant and I do not think I could continue on with...

  19. Questions: Nurses leaving the Profession

    futurecnm replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I said teaching was not difficult. I admire all teachers. I know that they spend a lot of time outside of the classroom, especially as new teachers. I know my parents as elementary...

  20. Questions: Nurses leaving the Profession

    futurecnm replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    Read somewhere that teaching and nursing are the 2 highest stress jobs. So, I guess high stress = high burnout rate. People decide to do something else, people decide it isn't for them, they want...

    futurecnm posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have my first interview in about 9 years coming up next Friday. I am a student and have an interview for a student nurse internship. From what I hear, competition is very stiff so I'm really...

  22. Leaving teaching to be a nurse..

    futurecnm replied to ladybella's topic in General Nursing

    I am not in your situation but wanted to add that I read somewhere that teachers and nurses are 2 of the highest stress jobs! Not sure how they determined that, but it was interesting. My parents...

  23. need your advice... AD vs BS or BS/MS

    futurecnm replied to Tealeaf72's topic in General Nursing

    As a 32 yr old mother of 2 young kids ages 6 and 4, I would recommend doing ALL your schooling BEFORE having kids. Even if you aren't sure you will need it later, do it while you can and so you don't...
