I am a 21 year old female and have been taking my prerequisites for Nursing. I felt very passionate about my choice, I do really enjoy caring for people and helping people. However, as I got further into my studies, talked to various RNs, and had res...

I am currently taking my prerequisites for Nursing. I know two nurses, one is a friend of my mothers and she is a Nurse Practitioner and my boyfriend's mother is a charge nurse in the ICU. Both of them smoke Marijuana (occasionally) and they haven't ...

Hello all, I'm currently taking my prerequisites for Nursing. I was wondering if a new grad can get hired in the OR? Is there any difference between OR and Perioperative? Also, do all hospitals use RNFAs? is that something that you can go to school...

Hello all, I am currently taking my prerequisites for Nursing. I was wondering if RNs in the U.S. can work as a travel nurse in Canada? Thanks! :redbeathe

I know someone who has been an RN for about 4 years, and only has her ADN. She has been working in the ICU since she graduated, but left the hospital to take a new job. Apparently she is doing something involving organ donations and transplants, and ...

Well I am not a nurse yet, I'm still in school, however I usually try to avoid GMOs and go for organic, locally grown, foods. I think it's sad how many medical professionals don't seem to know/care about the possible dangers of GMOs. I'd rather be as...

Hello all, I am a 20 year old pre-Nursing student currently taking my prerequisites. The only college classes I have completed so far are basic courses such as English, Math, and Psychology. In those classes I made A's and B's.This semester I took A...

I am a 21 year old female and I've been taking prerequisites for Nursing. At first, I was really passionate about it until I realized that I don't really believe in pushing pills and injecting needles in people. I am adamant about proper nutrition an...

thanks for your feedback!

I am taking my prerequisites for Nursing and although I haven't even gone through Clinicals yet, I'm always thinking about what area I would be best at working in. I've investigated many of the different specialty areas in Nursing and the one that se...

Hello all, Let me start off by saying that I am a 21 year old female currently taking my prerequisites for Nursing at community college. I have only completed 3 classes so far. I decided to aim for an ADN program, because I want get my degree soone...

I am in the same boat! I have 4 more prerequisites to take and I'm hoping to apply to the Fall 2012 program. I too am wondering how I will make all A's but I am going to do my best and keep trying if I mess up. I'm having to repeat Anatomy and Physio...

Yes. Absolutely.

I'm from Austin and I'd say the best hospitals are the Seton hospitals. I don't know the answer to your second question, sorry:( As far as finding a place to live, Central and south central areas of Austin is "where its at" so that will be the most...

I am in the same boat! I'm in A&P 1 and it is the most frustrating class I've ever had. I used to think math was hard, HA! I understand the material, and I truly enjoy learning it, I think the human body is fascinating. It's the amount of materia...

Thanks! Yes, I've been applying for jobs in local hospitals such as Unit Clerk or Registrar positions. I haven't heard much though because I don't have experience in the healthcare field yet. An RN I know told me to look into Phlebotomy or Monitor Te...

Hello all, I am currently taking my prerequisites for Nursing, and I sometimes take NCLEX practice tests online or I also use an app on my phone that has an NCLEX practice test on it. I thought for sure that I would get almost all of the questions w...

Oh okay, makes sense. I have classmates that brag to me and I know how irritating it is.

Why do you say that? Will students and instructors treat me differently?

I do agree that I should have put it in the Pre-Nursing section, I usually categorize my questions correctly but I was in a rush when I posted this thread. Sorry if it's irritating and unbelievable, but keep in mind I am younger than you and I obviou...

Yes, the app does include those kinds of questions. I understand that the NCLEX is just a small portion of the whole Nursing education package, but I was just surprised because I thought I would have done worse considering I've never taken an actual ...

thanks, the total number of questions is 537 on the practice test iphone app I've been using.

Hello all, I am currently taking my prerequisites for Nursing. I know a woman who is an RN, she's been working in the ICU since she graduated from an ADN program 4 years ago. She just got hired at a new job, so she'll be leaving the hospital and go...

I am the OP, and when I said "only has her ADN" I was just trying to say that it is the only education she has at all, not just in Nursing. Because in the past on AN, I've written a thread and I mentioned that someone has an ADN or BSN, then I get a ...
