Has anyone gone to this program recently? I'm keeping an open mind and gathering all relevant and recent facts, since it's part of DeVry, a reputable institution. Thank you!

Before I sign up for nursing school, are there any nursing students or nurses who would like to share their "I wish someone would have told me_______...'s?"

Hello everyone, I'm at square one. I'm in contact with someone in nursing administration at a hospital. This person mentioned that there should be a college online where I can do the coursework 100% online and do clinicals at a the hospital. Is ther...

I'm now 44 and I've been an office worker in all different capacities for twenty years and the thought of being an RN keeps nagging at me and I thought I'd start my path at CNA; do I know what I'm getting myself into? I know this would be a big chang...

Seriously Boogalina, you should consider writing a career genre book.

you guys, thank you for all of this great stuff. I'm just working a regular office job right now and was feeling so bad about myself! I was inconsolable! Gosh I'm hard on myself. I go in to work every day intending on stellar work, but sometimes desp...

I'm getting ready to do an orientation at a nursing college! I'm so excited for that first step. I have a question though; it won't stop me either way, but I've been curious; is nursing school really the hard- knock life everyone says it is? Did anyo...

Fair enough, That Guy, a very honest answer.

That's really awesome Anurseatlast; thank you!

I actually have one...I wish someone would have told me how hard nursing school is to get into if you're not right out of high school!

I hope so too, thank you!

Wow! I am so glad I asked! I feel much better about the unknown now. Thank you, you guys, that is a load off my mind. :-)

Thank you so much! Yep, I have been known to second-guess God...but I need to remember that the little voice inside is always right, and it's His voice. He has me right where he wants me, but I think He's saying I need to work on the future too. I th...

Up to the age of 18 I was told that I could do anything I wanted if I wanted to badly enough and I wanted to be a famous musician and writer (very right brained person). When I got older, people started talking about aptitudes. Because I didn't like ...

dslpninla, I re-read your reply a couple of times and I loved everything you had to say, thank you. I'm so sorry your grandmother was treated that way. My mom was a nurse years ago and said she treated patients with the utmost respect because she cou...

Thank you Jillane, hope it works out for you, seems like a great school so far.

Thank you everyone! Thanks for the Assisted Living tip Sunshine; seems like a great way to transition. I appreciate the encouragement from all of you, thank you.

DancingQueen; thanks for commenting....I'm 43 and have been an administrative assistant way longer than I wanted to...twenty years as opposed to two. I never had the means to follow my own path until recently. After I realized the college next month ...

I've heard people say that practical nursing is one step above a CNA; don't know how true that is at this point, I'm just starting out. But if it is, how big is that step? Apparently, it's not any lower than an RN...it can be confusing where my place...

That's what I'm about to do, I start LVN school next month. I want to spend one year in class and then do the RN online, because I need to start bringing in a decent wage sooner rather than later.

The LPN in charge of my husband after abdominal surgery was amazing; better than most of the RNs who cared for him that week. My dad's nurse was an LPN two weeks before he died and we loved her. She always felt so bad when she had to poke his finger ...

My Kaplan program will start tonight, I'll have missed only the first class. I only need to pass the math portion of the HESI today and I'm in. I only heard about this session yesterday morning, so I had to act fast yesterday. The classes are Monday ...

I was going to delete this since it's irrelevant now, but I thought someone might be able to learn from my experience. After this post, I spoke with my Rep and she said Kaplan's career center can help me find work and there are also two openings at ...

I'm like a deep freezer...I work better at full capacity. If there's too much of a lull or not enough mental stimulation I will get distracted or fall asleep.:zzzzz

Good to read these inspiring words; I'm 43. Slow and steady I go at square one......good luck to all of you!
