    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Graduating high school early

    WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great, thank you! I'm not exactly sure what college I want to go to yet (or if I'll be able to go where I want, the schools I like all seem to cost a ton), but once I have a better idea I'll...

  8. So confused

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to be a nurse from the time I was seven or so. I really thought it was what I was meant to do, you know? A calling. This year, though, I had a really tough time - I was diagnosed with...

  9. To be a pediatric nurse or not to be?

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

  11. Penn Nursing Summer Institute?

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    Found this online and it really sounds like something I'd be interested in. It does cost a lot but I have some years still left to raise money. Has anybody attended? If not, do you think it'd be good...

  12. Penn Nursing Summer Institute?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, phrased that badly. I want to be a nurse but am not old enough to CNA so I was curious if y'all thought this would be good experience for me, so that I could do something nursing related before...

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    Not old enough to be a CNA but want to do something related to nursing so I can see if it's really for me, get to see what it's like, etc. I know I can't do a lot patient related but what do...

  14. Disappointing news, what can I do?

    WannabeNurse(: posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently heard that I did not get in to the medical professions high school that I had really been hoping to go to next year. That would have been a great head start so I've been kind of down. I'm...

  19. When did you know that Nursing was the right path for you?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to LRyder's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, and still have quite a few years to go, but I have known since the fourth grade that being a nurse is what I want to do. I had the best fourth grade teacher, who had been a nurse. She...

  20. Can CNAs/volunteers pick which area?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in General Nursing

    PediLove, good idea! I hadn't thought of that and there is a children's hospital around here, although it's somewhat part of another hospital. And nohkia, thanks for the information! :) I'll try to...

  23. Good hand lotion?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to Quark09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    While I'm not a nurse yet and won't be for a while, I do have very dry hands, and my doctor recommended Aquaphor. It's more of an ointment than a lotion but if you slab it on before you go to bed and...

  24. Nurse or Nanny?

    WannabeNurse(: replied to HappyGo1's topic in General Nursing

    I am certainly not a nurse yet but this situation sounds just terrible. I would most definitely look elsewhere and get out of there. There are many other jobs in NY for you and your husband that will...
