  1. Any second degree students considering CNA training?

    thecareerchanger posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi all, I am currently taking prerequisites so that I can eventually qualify for entry into an accelerated BSN program. That being said, I have also though about CNA training prior to entering nursing...

  2. Any other students who are mothers?

    thecareerchanger replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 3 kids ages 3, 4, and 9 and started prerequisites this year. Since I am taking one at a time it will take a couple of years to finish but once done I will apply to a ABSN program. If accepted I...

  3. Do you have 30 minutes for lunch?

    thecareerchanger replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse but but why on earth would someone not take a break after working 12 hours, or 8 for that matter? Not only is it unhealthy for the nurse but the patient as well since the nurse will...

  4. Age of a late bloomer

    thecareerchanger replied to lilbrice25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am older than you (33) and just started pre-reqs this year. Probably won't get into accelerated program until I am about 36 and won't finish nursing school until age 37. I feel old already! I am...

  5. Nursing or Medical School

    thecareerchanger replied to brittarose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once upon a time I wanted to be a doctor until I saw the academic requirements. When I was 22, all I wanted to do was graduate not go to school for another 4 years! Anyway med school is a serious...

    thecareerchanger replied to Technicolourhobo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am non-traditional student and plan to take only one class at a time but I refuse to get less than "A" in any of them. Initially I was going to do 2 at a time but figured I would have better chance...

  7. What is a good entry level job when changing careers?

    thecareerchanger replied to peachshan's topic in Nursing Career

  9. BSN or save for a house?

    thecareerchanger replied to TXRN44's topic in Nursing Career

    Not a nursing student or anything (yet) but I would say get BSN first. I think it is easier to get school out the way then go for house then the reverse. Hubby and I are homeowners and it is very...

    thecareerchanger replied to toya932's topic in New York Nursing

  11. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    thecareerchanger replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my dilemma as well. I was pursing my masters in social work (MSW) and stopped because I wasn't sure if it made sense to rack up so much debt for a job that would not pay more than my current...

  16. Cayuga Community College- Online Courses?

    thecareerchanger replied to Simplybliss's topic in School, College Programs

    awild, oh my! my experience so far is much more positive than yours, although I do agree with the multiple user name frustration when using ANGEL. In psy 101 we do one chapter/week, get 3 "mini"...

  18. Losing respect for nursing students

    thecareerchanger replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

  20. Am I too old to start a new career in nursing?

    thecareerchanger replied to tr1216's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I see there are a lot of RN on here who are second career and therefore more mature. I will be 33 next month and by the time I get to nursing school (if I get in) I would probably be about...
