  2. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    Tooimpatient replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is exactly what I hear alot of right now. And yes it is discouraging even if it's true. I appreciate all the info I get from everyone, even if it is bad because I want to know the truth. I guess...

    Tooimpatient replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did you like NICU III? Do most nurses start out in med/surg and then move on to a different field? From what I have heard it seems like most nurses start out in med/surg or stay there. I would...

  5. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    Tooimpatient replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tooimpatient posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have just recently in the last year decided I want to become an RN, hopefully to start the nursing program in a few months. I will find out in about a week if I was accepted! I know I will have...

    Sounds good! I am also hopefully starting an RN program this fall and I can't wait! So talking to other people and reading stuff like this really helps. Do a search for NICU on here, and read the post...

    Also I can't find much about labor and delivery nurses. Do you still need to be an RN for this? Is the pay as well as any other

  9. Nursing Fields/Specialities

    Tooimpatient replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much, that is very helpful! I did not see anything there regarding NICU or Neonatal? That is something I have considered. I did see pediatrics but I don't think that is the same? Also...

    Tooimpatient replied to sb07's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm not sure. I was originally told if you get in the 80th percentile or higher you were accepted but now I'm being told it goes by a points system. You get so many points for what you made on the...

  15. At what age did you decide on nursing?

    Tooimpatient replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 26 and was also a slacker in the past, I didn't go to class half the time or care about studying, I regret that more than anything. I see people who went into the nursing program straight out of...

    Tooimpatient replied to HopefulRNAmy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Can anybody tell me how you find out your points? Or is this something you will know when you receive your acceptance/rejection letter? I wish I knew where I stand as far as getting in. I was told...

    Tooimpatient replied to sb07's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I didn't take it at Wallace State, but I did take it at Bevill a few weeks ago and I made an 81.3. It wasn't really that hard except for the Science section and that's what everyone else I've talked...

  19. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

    Tooimpatient replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will admit the money does attract me to it, but that isn't the only reason I want to go into nursing. I get bored easily, I like a fast paced job with a changing environment. I hear everyday is...
