"i do not want to be a nurse at all. i am not a people person, i do not want to take care of people, and i prefer to stay detached from society as much as possible," enough said, nursing is not for you. i'm not trying to be mean but i would not want a person taking care of me or my love ones that feels this way; would you? it is nothing wrong with you walking away for something that you really dont want to do. tell you family how you feel and let them deal with their issues. do what makes you happy. good luck...

Taking a CNA course is a good option and the CNA courses are really not hard at all. There are also other ways to get your foot in the door at a hospital. Have you ever thought about applying for a unit secretary position? It'll get you on the unit and once you complete the CNA program you'll be able to marked youself as a PCTor CNA(whichever one your hospital calls it) as well as a US(unit secretary) and we all know bosses like people who have more than one skill. Hope this helps.

You are crazy organized but in a GOOD Way!! Thanks so much for sharing cause I didnt know were to start.

Hey llr26. For help with the Roman Numerals go to http://www.softschools.com/roman.jsp

I remember about a year ago I asked my daughter's friend whom had just move into our neighborhood what her mother does for a living; her reply was " My mom works somewhere she hates, she's a secretary and sometimes she crys before she goes to work or when she gets home. If your current job is making you unhappy it won't be long before you kids notice. Happy mommy = Happy household. Do what is going to make you happy in the long run. Talk to your children and take it from there. Good luck to you, I hope you come to a dission that is right for you and your family.

Hey. What area do you live in? That may also help with some of the replies you're getting. I'm near Chicago and I know of a few hospitals that hire new grads on the L&D unit. One of them is West Suburban Medical Center. Most of their new grad hires were students for their school but not all so. Also applying for a Postpartum position may help also; It'll get you onto the unit and then maybe you can cross-train for L&D later. Good luck and don't let some of these replies get you down.

Hi all. I just began studying for the Hesi and I'm wondering if there is any one subject that may need more attention than others. I was told by a friend that one of her co-workers took the test and said the math section had a lot of conversion problems on it. This kind of concerns me because the study guide doesn't have any conversion problems in it, it only list a few conversion and says there're good to know( I guess that's my clue to memorize them,Duh, LOL). I guess I can find some conversion problems online just to brush up. Anyway, any and all tips on the Hesi are greatly appreciated. O, does anyone know if the Hesi was taken at another school can the scores from that test be used at Chamberlain? Thanks.
