  3. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    Smith.C74 replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If being a nurse is what you want to do, then go for it. Unless there's a rule that says you have to retire at a certain age, then the only limit on how long you'll be nursing is

  8. Did you wait long?

    Smith.C74 replied to Lilli-Anna's topic in General Students

    Where I live (Ontario Canada), the colleges have a ranking system, usually based on grades with some factoring in other things. If you don't get in the first year, then you re-apply for the next year...

    Smith.C74 replied to tlc365's topic in General Students

  11. Broke and may have to quit

    Smith.C74 replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope that you find a way to make it through this. It's frustrating to be sooo close to something that you want so bad yet feel so far away from it at the same time. Talk to t he financial aid...

    Smith.C74 replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

  13. No one thinks I can do it!

    Smith.C74 replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make them your reason to suceed, not your excuse for failure. I've had my own fair share of people that have put me down and discouraged me. I've been kicking myself in the pants for not applying to...

  14. Negative Attitudes Towards RPN's

    Smith.C74 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in International Nursing

    My appologies if I didn't clarify what I meant. Some of the students currently taking the practical nursing programs are doing so because they were pushed into it by a career counsellor or other...

    Smith.C74 replied to amara827's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Smith.C74 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in International Nursing

  17. Pregnant before nursing school or while in school?

    Smith.C74 replied to fosdog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Instructor won't keep hands to self

    Smith.C74 replied to elle27's topic in General Students

    I can understand the need for personal space. I can be the same way. The instructor's claim that it was therapeutic touch seems like it's a way to justify the touching to themself. I can understand...

  20. RPNs that remain RPNs?

    Smith.C74 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    Smith.C74 replied to Kymber7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been giving this some additional thought and thought of something that might be a good solution. There's a company that makes bags that are sturdy, lightweight and seem easy to manouver. The...
