Hi As most of you know im 14 and am already looking into colleges. Well where I live theres a technical college (2year college) and I was wondering to become an RN how long does it take ? Also if I need more years can I stay at the 2 year college even if I have been there for more than 2 years? O by the way I did get the shadow kid job. Im going May 17th to the hospital and my mom is going to make me a scrub shirt. I think it will be cool. Also I get to stay at the hospital for 3 hours and when I get back to school (1:00) which will be after lunch im going to wear my scrub top to school. Cool huh? I dont care what other people think about me. Well I do but not that day. I think it will be so cool to become an RN. I just hope that a Technical school will be okay instead of a university because its right here in my hometown and I will be able to live with my parents and raise enough money for me a house. LOL Well sorry for the venting. Destany

Hi Im sure everybody knows by now that I am shadowing a nurse for my shadow kid job. Well its been 1 month since I found out that I could do it and weve only got 3 more weeks of school after this. Im worried that I wont be able to do it because my dumb counselor is to lazy to call the hospital and ask if any of the nurses would do it. If I had to shadow one of yall how many of yall would let me? Because im worried that the nurses dont want to do it. And Ive waited to do it for the whole schoolyear and I guess I got my hopes up but my teacher said that I would but I dont see how with only 3 more weeks left of school and guess what? Then I will be a freshman in high school. Oh yea I cant do any college prep courses this coming up year in 9th grade. Hold on and let me get my sheet and explain it to yall. Ok My math courses for 9th grade will be...... applied problem solving. For 10th grade it will be Applied Algebra. For 11th grade I will take Geometry or Mathematical Money Management and for 12th grade it will be Algebra 2. Ok Is that enough for me to become a nurse even though I wont be in college prep classes. I would LOVE to be able to go to the University of Florida which of course is a 4 year college. This is driving me crazy. And we have to have 22 credits to graduate high school which i dont understand but thats my life. Destany

Hi Im going into 9th grade and yall are scaring me to death about the test. I am in general math but ive heard that in order for me to graduate with a college prep seal I must go directly into college prep math which is algebra 1.

Hi Im sorry to bother you again but some of my teachers put me in regular classes for high school but I want all college prep classes. So I talked mom into putting me in college prep classes. My only problem is this im afraid im going to fail the casses although now I make A's and B's. I need some opimions. When I get ready to go to college (im almost in high school) I want to go to University of Florida. Anybody going there? If anybody is or used to email me at [email protected] I would like to go there to I guess I would mayor in Medical or something. But I would love to be put in all college prep courses so that when I graduate I can go to a 4 year college (UF). This is worrying me to death even though im not in high school yet. :'(:'(:'( Destany

Hi My identical twin sister and me are 14 and we will be going to high school in August. Yesterday we decided to go shopping for a shirt for the state science fair that we won and ended up buying 3 outfits each. And we ALWAYS dress alike. Well guess what? We got totally different outfits!!!!!!!!!!! Im so happy. Not that we never didnt like dressing alike but I just got tired of everybody asking why do u dress the same and stuff like that. I get my feelings hurt really easy and Bethany could care less so i guess the reason I started dressing different is so people would stop nagging us about dressing alike. Oh and theres one more thing. Today we are getting our hair cut different!!!!!!!!!!! Our hair is short and Bethany wants to get it cut because to her its gotten too long but im going to tell the lady give me a style to grw my hair out so that when I become a nurse I can put my hair back into a ponytail. Destany

Hi Im sorry to keep bothering all of you. Im sure I am. We are on spring break and Monday we are going back to school. Then we only have 7 more weeks of school left and I will be a freshman in high school!!! How lucky can I be? :'( Im dreading it. The only thing that I am looking forward to is the nursing elective. That stinks. But the school is awesome. But the thing im going to hate is all of the homework. Im sorry if people misunderstood me but im sure some of yall when you were my age didnt want to clean bottoms. But im sure i will get used to it. Like I said im a loving person. I hate being kinda yelled at by people that got mad or heated at my post. I mean I could deal with delivering babies that doesnt bother me. I would love to see the miracle of birth. Destany

Hi You dont have to get all mad. I was just saying. I know im going to have to do it. I am a loving person. And I didnt mean to affend anyone. Im 14 years old. Destany

What is RN in peds? I would like to know plz

Hi again Sorry to be a nucence but I was wondering if it is true that in order to do what I want to do in the hospital which is working on the L&D floor or in the baby nursery I must work in other places? Because yalls stories on wipies butts have traumatized me. LOL And I dont want to do that. Destany

hi spring break is coming up this coming week :) . but i have to wait for like another month to be a shadow kid because they need to find a nurse that will do it. i just hope that i dont get a nurse like godzilla. weve only got like less than 2 months of school left and then after the summer i will be a freshman and doing my ultimate dream learning how to be a nurse :) . nursing runs in my family so ive got nursing in my blood. but i dont want to be doing the jobs like some are yall do. im not in for cleaning up a patient. all i would like to do is be in the baby nursery or work in l&d. i am really nervous about starting high school because i just moved here in august so i dont know a lot of kids. also im afraid i will get lost. also i need some advice. ok you see we already toured the high school and the kids are supposed to tuck in their shirts but none of them did so there is basically no dress code because none of the kids follow the rules so next year should i or shouldnt i tuck in my shirt? also a lot of the girls my age wear stuff that i dont like im as real plain jane so i was wondering should i get clothes like them or not worry about what they think? im really self concious about myself and what other people think of me. destany

What is that?

:uhoh21: hey ok here it goes. i was watching a program on tv last night called nurses. im not sure if our hospital has it or not and im not sure what its called but its where you work with children. if i get the shadow kid i would like to know what to write down. and i hope its not like a icu type deal because if it is i dont think i would be able to visit that part of the hospital. destany

hey, my parents said that in orderto become a nurse that i would have to give myself shots to see how it felt? is that true because if it is i hate shots. destany

:chuckle Hi Ok, Remeber when I was talking about being a shadow kid? Well we were supposed to turn in a letter to say why we wanted to do it and me and Bethany are in the same homeroom and Mrs. Daniels was supposed to choose one in every homeroom. So me and Bethany were the only ones that turned ours in that we know of so at the end of class she asked everybody if they had any letters because this was there last chance to give them to her. So then she said well then maybe I can pick 2 since a lot of people didnt turn theres in. So I am excited yet hesitant to see if I got it. But heres the question: If I do get the job then I want to dress the part. So at walmart they have scrubs but not kid ones that im aware of. So would you A) buy the top scrub and wear jeans and tennis shoes or B) buy the set scrub and some cloggs? I dont want my mom to spend a lot of money since I will only be wearing it for one day. Destany:chuckle

Hi We have this program called "Shadow Kids". Its for kids who want to shadow whoever or whatever they want to do when they start working. So my homeroom teacher told us that she is picking one of us out of homeroom to shadow anybody we want. So me and my sister are in the same class. BIG problem. LOL So anyways shes wants us to write a letter saying why we would like to do that. So wish me luck. By the way guess who im going to shadow? Answer: A RN P.S. Im sure you all knew that lol Love, Destany

Hey, Today I got my form for high school about what classes me and my identicaltwin got put in and I didnt make any collegenprep classes:crying2: . I am so disappointed in myself. I thought I would be in at least one college prep class but im not. I guess theres always 10th grade. Now ive ruined my chance to get into the college I want. I blew it. Future_RN

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement. Future_RN:balloons: :rotfl:

I know but you dont understand me I dont think. When I am a senior in high school my teacher will allow me to become a cna but when its time to go to college I am becoming an rn. You see I figured that while im in high school I could have a job similar to the one I will have in the future. The cna is just a job that I can make money while I go to college not my permanant job. I am going to become an rn. Love, Future_RN

Hi I just wanted to know is earning credits in high school hard? I mean people said it was going to be hard going to middle school and it wasnt so will it get wrse. It is soo stressful because of all the paper work we have to do and we have finals coming up and the crct test. And we have TONS of homework. I mean good gosh I think these teachers are trying to torture us. LOL So hows it going in the nursing job? Is anyone here going to in a baby nursery and is a RN? Can you request to work in a certain feild because I want to work in the baby nursery. When I become an RN I want to go work at Tallahassee Community. Thanks for letting me vent. Love, Future_RN

Hi I am allowed to take college prep classes or tech college classes. I know I wont be able to take college prep classes in all my classes because my grade arent high enough although they are b`s and a`s. So will it be ok for me to take college prep classes my second year of high school. I need 22 credits to graduate. So its all confusing. Im not even worried about boys because all ive been thinking about is college and schoolwork. I dont study as much as I should because if I did I would be on the A honor roll. But its hard when you have lots of homework and want some free time to yourself every now and then. Love Future_RN
