  3. Changing careers

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to MAMAYBE's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    MAs, surgical techs, and coders dont make nearly what you make and personally I couldnt take that much of a pay cut for a job that may or may not make me happier. Nursing is the only career you...

  4. Are these legitimate concerns, or am I psyching myself out?

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to mom_coach_nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others who suggested trying CNA first. This would give you a feel for the hospital, working 12 hour shifts, and getting to see what nurses actually do. Experiencing nurses from a...

  5. Nursing student afraid of urinary catheters!

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    Once you see and get to practice it, hopefully most of your anxieties about it will disappear. A good option is once you start your skills lab at school, ask the skills instructor if you can stay a...

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Such a strange question, would definitely make me feel uncomfortable, but you were honest and you responded in the best way possible. Seems like they would only ask that specific question if they were...

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to emt_anderson's topic in California Nursing

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to emt_anderson's topic in California Nursing

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  13. A "dating female students in your class" post

    Jmira.BSN.RN replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Such a bad idea. Even say if the situation did work out, it is still an un necessary distraction. Furthermore I think dating in general is a bad idea while in nursing school, at least for me, but I...
