Hi everyone, I have to vent. I been studying my butt off for a couple of years now and I dropped chem twice, because I was going to get a C in it. Well come to find out at my school if you retake a course twice they take the highest grade, well since...

I sent you a message with my e-mail, so feel free to email me or chat anytime. Have a great day and thanks for the tips. I appreciate it alot. Do well in school !! :) Good Luck!!

in g Thanks I appreciate that. I had to run get something to eat. I dont even know how to get cert for pct or i would do that now. Ill check it out, I am working in a business/corporate environment, seriously it sucks. I dont like being stuck at a de...

Thanks I appreciate it. I added you as a contact/friend. I wanted to ask you, are you able to still work full time, part time, or not at all while being in tcc's nursing program? Just curious for future job planning. I am going to apply next semester...

I am taking **********. It takes a special person to understand him, but we get along well. Me and this other girl were among his favorites in his last class so I would like to keep it that way :). I heard ***** was really good. Right now I am taking...

YES!!! How did you know?? Which school have you applied to??

Oh Please, I am not mad. I was just frustrated this morning. I am over it. I appreciate your well wishes, and same to you. I was wrong for some of the things I mentioned to you, and I do see your point in some of the matters. Its just a rough time an...

I was doing great in chem until the second half of the semester and I fell ill with strep, so I was down for a good two weeks, and had other issues going on, then things went down hill. I managed to save my AP 1 class and made an A in that. In my opi...

It is sad to see that people are so quick to place blame or cause for someones inability to do something without even knowing the original problem. Your an NP you should be more understanding. I want to do Great in chem and not just pass it with a C....

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. It just gets so frustrating dealing with the admissions process. I only have three classes to go before applying, Micro, Chem, AP II. So I am almost there. I will most likely take chem alone so I can focus on it ...

I personally feel that nurses in general should be paid more. If you think about it there is an extreme danger to our licenses and nurses spend the majority of the time catching some errors the doctors make, spend most of the time administering life ...

Thank you very much, this site offers me lots of helpful advice with questions that I have. Its great to have a helping hand in all of this. Thank you everyone and have a happy New Year :) Be Safe!!!!

I am curious to know, when it is mentioned about acute care, that does that entail of the ICU? Just curious, I am learning new things everyday and not yet an rn, but just trying to learn about different areas that I may could work in. Another thing ...

I also have a story, not sure how spooky it is, but it will raise your faith alot. I am not a nurse yet but my father about 3 years ago was admitted to the ER then to the ICU due to a sever car crash. He was in a coma for a few days and when he came ...

I am extremely happy for you, thats wonderful new, especially for the New Year. You worked your butt off during school and studied and yes life happens. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and now its your time and go out there and ...

Just a question that I want to throw out there. If nursing per say is bad, arent there other areas that are less stressful such as NP, or CRNA, or something like that? I am just curious. Thanks everyone. Have a wonderful New Years :)

I do see how some are frustrated and want to quit, but they are forced to stay in the profession because they feel they put so much time and effort into education, or they feel they are not good at anything else. But from what I know, if some do not ...

I am right now currently finishing up my prereq's and then off to nursing school. I have spent years working in business and large corporate businesses, and after reading many comments that other nurses leave on this site, it makes me feel more eager...

I appreciate the feedback. I look forward to becoming a nurse. Just taking each day as it comes and learning as much as I can through people on this site and educating myself as much as I can in general in relation to this type of work. I know it is ...

Well the probabilities of all those things happening to you are most likely true. But sometimes that is part of nursing. When you are in doubt, look down inside yourself and find the initial reason why you wanted to become a nurse. You know... there ...

RB2000 is absolutely correct. The fact that you are trying and giving it all you got is what matters. There will be future chances to change things so learn from what you went through and carry it with you for future reference. There are times when i...

So I am assuming that to work in acute care I would need my bsn, which includes more in depth material?

Thank you, I appreciate it. I have two options I can get my adn through my local community college which is well cheaper than the university, or I can wait and after I get plenty of credit hours I can transfer what I have to the university and take t...

Your welcome, I know this because I was a pharmacy technician for a little while and we must know the boundaries in which to not ever advise patients on what drugs they should take. That is for the pharmacist to do. There is an extremely fine line th...

There is a possibility that nurses are less respected but hold an extremely important value to the industry. There is also a shortage of staffing.
