  2. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am an older student about to start nursing school in the fall. I was wondering if there are any older students out there who are in nursing school and plan on going on to medical school. Or older...

  3. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, NOW I feel old

  4. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    :yeah:Thank you for that! You're an inspiration. I love seeing students who are around my mom's age (or older!). That being said, I'm not too worried about what my peers think. When it comes to my...

  5. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I start nursing school this fall. I'm doing nursing school as opposed to medical school (or even law school, which I considered briefly) because, as I said, I have young children. I want them to see...

  6. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that my destiny is a stranger, and I'm afraid of the unknown. I know that if I ever do decide what my destiny is, I will meet it with open arms. But the problem is that I'm indecisive...

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I'll look into that too,

  8. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'm not that old, as I said in a reply above. But my question was more about being too old to be a doctor at almost 45 or so. Anyway, I feel old now among my ten-years-younger peers, and...

    petunia2016 replied to deepurple's topic in General Students

    yes, what you just said, which is way better than how i worded it. i blame the insomnia. besides, if it wasn't important, why would it be a part of the nursing

  10. older students- RN to MD?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's not that old. But it feels old for a student. I know there are students out there older than me. I guess part of it is also wanting to be successful NOW, instead of being a bit more...

  11. Pumping at work and childcare

    petunia2016 replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student, but my friend is an RN and a new mom. She told me the hospital she worked at was not supportive at all. They complained about the space the breast milk took up in the fridge....

  12. I need your help Allnurses.

    petunia2016 replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you need a better advisor. Our program has nursing advisors who are willing to sit with each student and find nursing electives that will boost them to full time. Of course, you can...

  13. how important is microbiology in nursing

    petunia2016 replied to deepurple's topic in General Students

    Microbiology is very important. I learned about bacteria and viruses and how they grow, infect, and multiply. I also learned about disinfecting and treatments. I learned where I can find certain...

    Sad, but beautifully

  15. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    petunia2016 replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    I don't agree with the last sentence. I've had several professors make copies of old exams available. The main reason they do this is so students will know what to expect on the exams, as far as the...

    petunia2016 replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    Except Patricia Heaton! She had hers

    Actually, per diem is Latin: per- (Latin: through, across, over; beyond, by means of) Diem, of course, meaning day. Or, if you use the Latin translation of diem and the English translation of per,...

  18. Older students biased against younger students?

    petunia2016 replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    I'll be an "older" nursing student this fall. I just wanted to say that what you overheard was likely not meant to be offensive at all. In my own experience, when I was fresh out of high school, I...

  19. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    petunia2016 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if this was posted yet, but this was in the local news for Hawaii. I can't believe someone would do something that terrible to someone who is obviously already suffering. My question to...

  20. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    That's a lot of assumptions. :wink2: I found another article that's a bit more clearer on the maliciousness of her actions....

  22. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was blatantly malicious. She took the records from Straub, then gave them to someone else, who posted them on MySpace. I'm glad she's getting punished. I'm not sure if this is the first...

  23. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    petunia2016 replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

  24. Applying for UH Manoa Fall '09 Nursing Program

    petunia2016 replied to butech's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that. Still, even half that amount of applicants is a lot. I wonder why those "applicants" are even included in the final numbers,

    petunia2016 replied to butech's topic in General Nursing

    Are you starting in the fall? At the orientation we were told 225, and out of that, 66 were chosen. I thought the number was quite high too, but the number came from somewhere. I feel blessed to...
