Hi! I have decided on St. Joe's in Syracuse because of their weekend program and their reputation. I was wondering if anyone here has gone there (or know someone who does) and could just give me some insight. Thank you !

Yesterday I received an acceptance to a college that I had almost forgot I applied to! When I wasn't sure about the wait lists to nursing school, I applied to a college for respiratpry therapy and I was accepted! Now I am not sure what to do because ...

I am with you. I appreciate all the help I received from this board, but after many sleepless nights, shadowing and volunteer experience-I have decided to become a respiratory therapist. After becoming registered, I plan on becoming a neonatal/pediat...

Here is my thing. As many of you know, I am getting ready to begin a nursing school that is every other weekend. I am currently volunteering at a hospital other than the one the school is at, and the nurses there do not support anyone going into nurs...

Well, I am SO new that I am not familiar with the area/specialty names-but I want to work with transplant patients and their families-especially kidney. (If anyone could throw me areas that cover these, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!)

I was calling around today to find out about some shadowing opportunities and when I called the major hospital we have, I asked their nursing department if they had nephrology nurses. She asked to repeat what type of nurse, so I did and she laughed a...

Thanks so much to all of you! I am going to keep plugging along until I get my opportunity!!! Thanks for the advice, I will take all of it!

Yup, I pronounced it right. I will try what you said, thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I did a pro/con list today the best I could and RT outweighed nursing for pros-but I could only go on what I have heard about both professions. My nursing is suppose to start June '05 b/c of the type of program it is, but I have...

Hi everyone! I have seen SO many posts on the benefits of working as a CNA and I am about to begin a HHA class which then goes right into a job as one. The more I read about how helpful being a CNA was for many people, I am wondering if HHA is going ...

Thank you for the thought. I have every intention of working on a med-surg floor at first when I finish school because of the invaluable skills I will gain. The thought of being a CNA made that thought a little less scary because of being able to lea...

home health aide...i apologize for that:imbar

I will be starting my nursing courses next June but it is a every other weekend program so the only classes I have are nursing/clinicals. So in the meantime I have to take the non-nursing courses through my cc and transfer them to my college. Not a p...

Thanks! I am not very good in algebra, I really need time to work and work at it before I can retain the information. That's why I considered the calculations class b/c I noticed there isn't one in the program and I was worried I would be left on my ...

The hospital I had my daughter in just had a box that I took them out, like tissues, and they were just dry cloth that they told me to just wet with water.

No I would not

I know that some other professions pay based on education, but when you are talking about a profession that deals with people's lives...I just think a person with an ADN who has been in the field deserves a lot more then the person who just graduated...

Hi! I am about to start my certification class for HHA in about a week. I am SO EXCITED!!! I will be attending nursing school and for some reason, doing this while in school felt more "right" for me then anything else. Anyway, the more I learn about ...

Hey there! I am north country myself...Jefferson County! You are right is is beautiful here April through October. The rest of the year is only beautiful to me if the sun is out and the roads are clear!!!:chuckle

Thousands of congrats to you! I am just a student but when I was pregnant, my husband and I were in the middle of building the foundation of our house and the hard work is possible but the best advice I can give is to listen to your body. When we are...

I understand right where you are coming from. I have been with my daughter this whole time and any classes have been mainly online. Now that I will be starting a RN program, I have to leave! I have to admit though, I think that it is much, much wo...

I think you are my long lost twin! I am 23 & was in a our year business program because of the pressure of those around me to make big money. I was great at business and received great marks also...but I hated it! I had no desire to enter the bus...
