There are some nurses who love to help us students learn & become better...and then there are a lot who can be nasty and rather not be bothered with. I remember one day in class I heard one nurse whisper to another nurse "I hate when they have the students here, they make it so difficult for us and ask so many questions". Not only that but some speak to you so rudely like you are slow but expect you to know what they know already. But I really do appreciate the ones who teach us, and when I receive compliments it's great to know I am improving

Yea I actually decided to actually go to college take all my pre-requisites and take it from there :] it's better to have a degree. Plus nothing wrong with Technical schools but I'd feel more accomplished. I wanted to move back to NY where I came from but I kind of think it's risky I only have 10,000 and money goes by fast plus getting a job there is hard but I may be able to get one because I have friends up there. I'm 20 right now but I don't really have any advice from someone real mature & wiser. Any suggestions or advice?

Don't give up, I failed twice. Very sad but I know that doesn't make me dumb. If you really want to be a nurse you do whatever it takes. I'm not giving up & you shouldn't either. I was going through a hard time with my grandma's dementia it hurt me a lot emotionally & effected my school work. Prioritize school & you can do it, we all believe in you

sorry about that I meant "failed" I have a lot going on with life, family issues but I decided to just go to college now, it's not a bad program just do know that a lot of it you read yourself & teach YOURSELF, I'm only not going back there because I simply am one of those people who cannot teach themselves. If you decide to pursue the ATC program :] that's great for you

Dr. Manuel Porth is a great doctor, he taught me how to do a cast and even had me assist him. It's one of the best experiences I had in nursing school. Crazy how I learned so much from him in a half hour...I actually remember everything he taught me, seriously in the one semester I was in I learned more from him. Very great doctor plus he teaches so well!

I dropped out of the nursing program this month from Atlantic Technical Center (coconut creek, fl) & I have all the new books they issued (used condition but I will white out all the pages in the workbook so you can use them yourself) there are no missing pages/supplies except a backpack all for $175 this includes a 2nd hand watch, Stethoscope, arm pressure cuff, BOOKS: Body structure & function-memmler, Tabers med dictionary, fundamentals of nursing plus work books for both, cds are included & I only used the body structure cd once. Usually if you're not on financial aid all this would cost over $300. If this sounds good to you let me know & we can make arrangements to meet, I'll come to you if needed but please try to have cash. :)
