  2. Obnoxious classmates that turn into great nurses

  7. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

  8. I actually like being a CNA - should I become an RN?

    CNA to RN in my opinion is a swap i think, from one end of it to the other, from being someone who reports to another to a person whom others report to. Certified Nurse Assistants are also known as nurses’ assistants, patient care technicians, home ...
  9. Nursing vs Occupational Therapy as a career?

    I have not struggled between the two at all, never really did i consider occupational therapy as an option to be honest. In my opinion there is a huge important difference between the two. In occupational therapy that is what you are, an occupational...

  15. Then shouldn't you know better??????

    I bet you they probably were not ever a nurse in the first place. If they were then they probably would have known that their daughter was just fine all along and they would know the demands in hospitals etc on nurses and doctors and would have under...
  16. Confused about next steps

    It is never too late to follow your dreams and do something that you are obviously so very passionate about. I think all of us have one of those things sitting in the backs of our minds just nagging away at us, telling us to go and do it. You sound a...

  19. Can turning down a job cost you a chance later?

  23. Career Change Into Nursing?

  24. Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?

    Maybe it isn't as bad as it may appear to you at the moment, you are only seeing a little of the story and goings on, not the whole picture, and there is probably much more to it than what you have seen and heard. They may have simply had a large num...
