  3. LPN going back for RN...with questions

    I doubt it. Science classes usually "expire" after so many years. It was three years at my school, so if it was longer than three years, you had to re-take it regardless of grades. It depends if you got college credit for it too. Yes, you may have le...

  11. Plan to become nurse practitioner any advice

    HAHAHAH!
  12. Plan to become nurse practitioner any advice

    How about respiratory therapy? Worse thing you'd have to deal with is mucous. Basic care or " wiping people's bums" is more in the realm of the nurse aide. Yea, on occasion you'll have to deal with it. Also, with any career, you have to learn not to...
  13. New RN looking for NICU position in PA

    I know Reading Hospital and Medical Center has an opening in the NICU
  14. I can't study at all :(

    If you spend that many hours a day, you are just going to wind up hating it. Prevent becoming bored by giving yourself breaks. Study for fourty-five minutes, give yourself a break - eat, watch tv, excerise, or something. Then come back to it later. I...
  15. Don't think Nursing is for me

    I am in my first semester of a diploma program. So far, it's been fine. I am not failing anything. All my grades are in the 90s. However, I don't feel interested by it. I like it, but not passionate about it. I am thinking about transferring to the l...
  16. Don't think Nursing is for me

    Thanks everyone. I really thought about it and snapped out of it. I just think I felt overwhelmed by the career and had some self doubt. I remembered how excited I was when I got accepted and how anxious I felt waiting for that acceptance latter. I h...
  17. Don't think Nursing is for me

    Yea, that's how I feel. I don't want to waste my time, but I kind of snapped out of it. I was just in a rut I guess. Once it gets to the point where it affects my grades, then it'll be time to leave.
  18. Don't think Nursing is for me

    I understand that they are many different options and places to go with nursing, but I really don't think I can emotionally connect with patients. I was on clinical, and I really couldn't see myself in that field for the rest of my life.
  19. ^^^^^ my user name =)
  20. First week of school! :-)

    Did you have to use your books on the first day of class?

  23. Certifications and Prep

    Hello, I will be starting nursing school on August 30th. I have always had an interest in working in the OR, and almost went into my schools surgical tech program rather than the RN! I was just curious as what kind of(if any) certifications I should ...
  24. CPR Class

    I just have a simple question; however it might a stupid one. During the session, the instructors go through everything with you and then you take the test correct? You don't arrive and expected to be perform and take the test. I'm just a little worr...
  25. CPR Class

    Okay, thanks a lot. I figured as much as it is a class. I just didn't want to assume and look like a idiot. Just a minor bit of doubt. Thanks a bunch.
