I'm a pre-somethinghealthrelated student (I am still torn between nursing and medicine), and I want to know: Why did you choose nursing (more specifically advance-practice nursing) instead of one of its alternatives?

Hello! I've posted here multiple times about dilemma I pose: my love for both nursing and medicine. I am currently a pre-nursing student, but I'm a bit hazy about my potential future as a nurse. I love the nursing model; I want to care for a patient,...

I have posted here time and time again about my questionable future, but I've never been this unsure. As I've explained in my previous posts, I'm an 18 year old college sophomore (soon-to-be-junior) struggling to make a decision between nursing and m...

Hello all! I have posted here a few times regarding nursing and medicine, and after my last thread, I thought I had ultimately made a decision between the two. I had decided to pursue an MD and until the past week or so, felt no ambivalence. I'm fai...

My family doesn't have a huge amount of wealth, but they will be able to help me somewhat. I also plan on working to make a little extra money. Because I've heard medical school is a full-time job, I've considered working through an agency as a CNA t...

I completely agree with what you said, but I do need to make a decision soon. If I decide nursing is for me, I need to finish my nursing pre-requisites in the next two semesters to be directly admitted to a BSN program. If not, I'll continue with my ...

Thanks for the response! As I've posted before, there are things I love about both nursing and medicine, but ultimately, I prefer the medical model. The things I love about medicine, however, can be achieved through mid-level care, which is why I've ...

Thank you so much. :)

I emphasized on that because the prospect of direct patient care is what's making me feel so ambivalent. I want to directly care for patients, but I also want to "cure" per se. I want to control the route of care, but I also want to execute that s...

Thanks so much Lindsey! I think I've decided to take the nine months that I would've spent on the LPN program to finish as many pre-reqs as possible to get direct admission to a BSN program.

Hello! I'm almost 17 and currently a pre-nursing student, but the waiting lists for traditional nursing programs are absurdly long and I feel I would benefit from getting my LPN in the meantime. As for my age, is it legal for a 17 year old to attend ...

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right category - if not, I apologize in advance! I'm an (almost) 17 year old pre-nursing student and after applying for 13 jobs at a local hospital varying from dietary assistant to PCA, I finally got an interv...

I hadn't found anything out, so I called personnel to check the status of the position. I spoke with the second person I interviewed with and he told me they didn't reach a decision yet. I'll be waiting yet again!

I think (and hope) it went good! They called me back for a second interview on Friday and told me they'd reach a decision by Monday, which is now tomorrow. :) I'll be anxiously awaiting a response to say the least, lol.

Thanks again everyone. :) My interview is tomorrow! I've been prepping since Sunday, so hopefully all goes well. Does anyone know if you usually find out the status of your potential employment right after the interview or if you have to wait a bit ...

What a great idea! I'll definitely be needing a confidence boost! Lol. Thanks again everyone! :) You've all been so helpful.

Awh, thanks so much everyone! I'm a bit less anxious now. :) Good luck on eagles wings! I'm sure you'll find a great job.

Hello all! I am currently a pre-nursing student, and I would like to be able to work while going to school. I'm only 16, but I'll be 17 in January of 2011. I am not sure how my age would work out employment-wise, but because I'm not a high school stu...

Hello everyone! I have only posted here once before, but I am happy to say that I have successfully completed the first few goals in my original post. At the age of 16, I passed my GED with flying colors (I was home-schooled prior to that) and I have...

Hello everyone! This is my first official post, although I frequent these boards often due to my sheer fascination with the medical field. I suppose I should give a little background on myself before I ask anything. :) I'm 16 years old, and I've been...
