I'm about to graduate from nursing school. I have known since my psych rotation that psychiatric nursing is for me. I'm lucky in that my fellow students and instructors understand my choice; that it suits my personality and psychosocial skills. Some do say, psych nursing is not for them, that it requires a mentality akin to madness. I too have always had serious interest in mental health, having considered becoming either a psychiatrist, psychologist or LPC. But none of them are as encompassing as nursing.

I'm in, ktosch and everybody else!!!! I got accepted!!! :heartbeat:heartbeat:yeah::yeah:

good luck, ktosch. I'm taking an herbal sleep aid tonight so I won't toss and turn. Longest night of my life not counting day my son was born.

ktosch, I applied for brookhaven for spring 2011 with 32.66 points. I hope it's enough. I have finished all the support courses. Good luck to you.

thank you so much for your reply. He does seem very nice, and he's answered all my emails. I'm pretty sure his class is difficult, but I'm sure I'll be a survivor too. Again, thanks.

I was wondering if anybody had or has kasparian at brookhaven spring '09, and if you do, which lab manual do we really need? There's that really expensive value pack with all of the cd's in it, and then there's the one with physioex6. Help.

some hospitals will hire you on as a cna if you're a nursing student. only requirement is that you've had the very basics taught to you. That's why i'm so interested in it.

I was thinking of going the weekend route, too. I don't know yet how heavy a nursing school schedule is. How many days a week do students do the clinicals and how many hours?

Has anyone gotten a nurses aid job while in nursing school? I'm thinking of getting one on weekends to make up for what I'll be losing when i start nursing school.

Hi, all! I'm 45 and just finished my first semester of pre-reqs. I feel so young! I am more committed now as an older adult than I was in my twenties. Besides, I got tired of all that stay-at-home mom thing. My youngest is 16 1\2.
