7out_to_nursing

i didnt get in so now I am going to take my preq's and try next year

just took the test june 9th did well on math but not on the others the test was ok I am not going to hold my breath though the lady that gave the test said I didnt know how to read! I told her I had a 25 in reading on the act and she looked at me like I was lying. From what I understand they are taking the scores on all the subjects.The person that gives the test is such a happy camper. good luck everyone maybe this just isnt my year. 19 on act no college crappy score on pn teas test

Hello all. I am not a nurse yet but when I was a CNA in clinicals. I remember my first day, I was in a very small hospital in Mississippi. I started out the day doing bed baths, changing sheets etc. My first patient was a woman around 75. She was so sweet, thanking me for giving me her bath. Telling me I did a great job etc.. The next day I go in.then same thing " sweet as she can be.." I go to my other rooms. About 6 hours later. I go to check on her and I find out she had passed on. Peacefully. All the nurses were upset, she had been there a long time. I was dumbstruck. Couldn't believe it..I believe myself to be a emotional person. When I get mad I get the mad cry. My daughter was adopted in 1998. And I had a job taking pictures of newborn babies. I lasted 3 days. I didn't go into nursing because I knew I would cry.. How do you become numb? I know how to do it where I work I am a casino dealer. I just shut up and smile. I have learned many skills in this profession. I have been called every name in the book..And say nothing. It has in some ways made me a mean person, I think it just made me grow up. But when you work in hospice or see a patient pass away. How do you deal with it? I often blab sorry for the jumbled stuff.

I did fill out my fasfa for 2010-2011 I did get some money only because my husband will be taking 1 or 2 classes.. So I think I am ok there.. I hope.. My latest down fall :eek: ALGEBRA:eek: my poor husbands has been trying to explain it but I have to do it my own way lol the book is stupid!!!! If anyone knows a easier way please tell me I take my ACT on FEB 16 again got a 25 on the math (so I can read) 19 on the science 17 on the english 16 on the math. I am trying to get a 20 something. I currently have a 19.I have been to the library. checked out many books. payed many late fees Books a million loves me when I go there staring at all the act and math books and the nursing books.If only was exciting a a vampire romance book :))). I would be there.. thanks for reading

i understand your concern but if i have learned anything its how to survive.thats what i am good at.. i was homeless in 1995. thats how i ended up in mississippi. went to job corps and got my cna. and fell into working for the casinos. i had a daughter that was adopted in 1998. and i survived that..( i think about her everyday) heres the thing about money, you will make more. your lifestyle might change but it wont be forever:redpinkhe:redpinkhe

Hello My name is Lisa I am 33 years old. Soon to be 34..(where did all the time go) I started my journey about a year ago Trying to get into the nursing program. At my local community college. first hurdle "ma'mm you have never graduated High School' :eek: So I dust off my diploma and send it to the school. and they tell me we cannot find your records:banghead: So I go take my GED. Pass that Then They tell me I have to retake my ACT OK no problem. Its only been 14 year how hard can it be :brnfrt: Well I did do better than before but not to My personal standards I got a 19.. I am retaking it on Feb 6.. shooting for a 20 something! So I received a scholarship for taking my GED and getting a good score but in the fine print it say (no more than 12 credits a semester) the nursing programs are more than 12 credits a semester. but hey it was free So and way I have been trying to figure out how to finance school and I do not qualify for financial aid. because I am in bankruptcy. so loans are out. pell grant out, So I plan on draining my 401 k and my husbands 401k.. I will work 2 days a week during nursing school.So I will probably lose my car and my house. Because my bankruptcy payments are 1000 a month. When my husband and I discussed going to school he said go for it. You are not the same person when we met 5 years ago. You seem Like you are miserable.. YES!! I am In A job I detest My soul slowly fading because I was meant to do something else! I had the chance to go to nursing school when I was 20, But I thought I knew everything then. But life has taught me one thing It can all be replaced its just stuff. I might be uncomfortable for a little while but it will not last for ever.So as I get ready to send my applications in and study for the ACT,NET and TEAS.. I know that maybe 2 years from now I will be graduating A NURSE AND DAMM PROUD OF IT! BECAUSE I AM WORTH IT! :p:p:p:p:p
