That's too bad about all of the drugs. I can't remember what it was like in 87. I used to hang out a lot in Poughkeepsie and I've heard that its' pretty bad there. Do you remember a DJ on K104 by...

I start Nursing School in January 2005. I had tears in my eyes when I read what you wrote. I feel that my heart is pulling me in the direction of pediatric nursing. When people ask me what area I...
Wow, you guys are bringing back a lot of memories for me of the area. I grew up in New Paltz! Is the crime in Newburgh that bad now? I have been out of NY for 13

There was something regarding this in our Sunday paper a few weeks ago. I didn't read the article, but my husband briefly read it to me and it was something along the lines that there aren't enough...
I'm 38 but the seed was planted a few years ago when I went to visit my Dad in a nursing home. (he had alzhimers). When I walked in he was up against a wall in his wheelchair and all by himself in...

That was a great post. I don't start nursing school until next January but I hope that when I graduate I have supportive experienced nurses to answer any of my questions! It makes for such a better...
Thanks Big Babs regarding info about A&P. Hopefully, I'll be able to take first semester in summer and second in fall. Then I'm on to Nursing school. This is all new to me! I am so excited...
I am working on my prerequisites now and I only need to take Intoductory Algebra. I am NOT good at math either (had cold sweats just thinking about this class). . . but it really isn't that bad. We...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect from an interview to get into nursing school? I passed my entrance exam and I believe the interview process is next. Does anyone know what...
I laughed when I read your thread. I felt the same way with my 3rd. My sons were 6 and 8 when I gave birth to my daughter. The first night that I had her, they came up to the hospital with my...
I received my test results yesterday. I passed the entrance exam!!! I'm so happy. I think the next step is the interviewing process. I wish I had more information regarding Duke for you! Good...
just curious, I'm waiting to get into nursing school. In the meantime, the school suggested to take a cna course and work after certification. I don't mind doing this, but someone mentioned that I...
Thanks for clearing it up for me!! I'm going to sign up for that class hopefully in the summer. The college said that is a good way to expose yourself to
Thanks for making me laugh! That actually made me feel better!! The scary thing for me is the unknown. I've never done this before so I don't know what to expect! And I still don't know what the...
To be honest I'm a little confused right about now. I have over 123 college credits, but never recieved a degree because I kept changing majors and then gave up all together. I have 3 children and...
Thanks for your input. You are so right. I guess I am anxious to get on with my career and I feel that things are starting to fall into place. So when I hear the negativity, at that moment I just...
Good luck to you also. I will tell you this, I've heard negative things about duke this week also. But, I met a woman back in November that was getting ready to graduate from Watts and she said she...
Sorry with the way I put it. Yes I know its post mortem I just didn't know if what I heard was accurate. It seems that since I started school this past monday I have met some other students who were...
I live in the Raleigh NC area and the wait is terrible! Went to an information session for an adn program at a community college and the wait is 2-3 years. I have most of my prerequisites so this...
I'm not sure if this is correct but. . . I went to an informations session at Watts, and the way that I understood it was you sign but you don't have to do it for 3 years. If you work 1 year and hate...
Thank you! That's what I needed to hear. I don't want to teach or anything else. I just want to take care of patients but until I am in the hospital setting I'm not sure what area I would like to...
I am not in a Nursing program yet, but I am taking the entrance exam in January. I am trying to get into a diploma program. The hospital informed me that their program is two days clinicals and two...
