    I don't want to work in a nursing home...

    rubato replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    Exactly how I feel. I would never want L&D or peds either, but would be willing to work LTC. To each their own. It takes us all to make it

    rubato replied to Reckless96's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Photo #1 could be a fomite mess if you lean one way or the other. Photo #2 might work, but #3 has the potential to kill one of the

    New vs used books vs renting

    rubato replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I buy new off Amazon, when I can afford it, but I'll also buy used from them as long as they are "like new" or "very good" condition. Haven't been burned yet. I will buy the occasional book from...

    rubato replied to sarahsmile44's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! What a great, positive experience. You give me hope that it's not all bad out there. I think a lot of people come here to complain and we rarely get to hear all the good stories, so thank

    CNA class dropped me - Sad :(

    rubato replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took my 5 credit hour CNA class along with 15 credit hours of other classes, but without working. It was a super tough semester. Of course, the CNA class was only 5 weeks, but it was 8 hours a day/3...

    Do men and women go into nursing for different reasons?

    rubato replied to European's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yet another female opinion here. I am going into nursing because I've been a stay at home mom for the last 13 years and am unemployable. I was a personal trainer before and hated my job. But, like...

    Obtaining Loans For Pre-Reqs but already have Bachelor's! HELP!!

    rubato replied to CareQueen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I would recommend a CC. Ours has $81 per credit hour tuition, which isn't bad at all. You do not need to get your degree through the CC to take classes

    What is Your School's Selection Rate?

    rubato replied to Clodhopper's topic in General Students

    Yes. My school accepts 64 out of over 400. It's kind of cutthroat right

    Nobody told me that after graduation...

    rubato replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how anyone can go into nursing school and NOT know that it will be almost impossible to find a job right out of school. Especially in big cities on the east and west coasts. It's been...

    How many of you here wear ted/support hose to work?

    rubato replied to violet_violet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I will be wearing my compression socks that I have for running marathons. I am going to be starting out as a nurse at 44 years old. You'd better believe I'm going to do everything I can to protect my...

    What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    rubato replied to SelenaS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got a pair of Danskos. They were expensive, but I think I can get through all 2 years of clinicals with them, plus extra time. They are SOOOOO comfortable. I have been walking around in them at home...

    Why should we pick you?

    rubato replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    Tell me about yourself is more generic. They want you to talk about who you are, not why you'd be a good candidate for nursing school. The trick is to talk about yourself but still make yourself look...

    Nursing student weight

    rubato replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    Your health definitely needs to be a priority. We are going into the health care profession. We need to start by taking care of ourselves. If you can, bring lunch. If not, try to make a wise choice....

    Why should we pick you?

    rubato replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    I hate this question. I got it in my interview. My response was: "I am 41 years old, and am at a place in my life where I know what I want and how much work it will take to get it. I have worked so...

    rubato replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    This has been a very interesting topic. I am a mom to one child. He is almost 13. I didn't leave our home to start college until he started middle school and, at first, I felt guilt. My hubby and I...

    People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    rubato replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    This one drives me crazy. I used to be a personal trainer. I would always get people coming up to me asking for advice once they found out my profession. "Don't eat so much, and work out more." Pretty...

    Schedule in Nursing Program

    rubato replied to jellybean321's topic in General Students

    If I were to actually work with what you said, which is that you cannot quit your job, then it looks like there's no way in the world you can work on Wed, Thur, or Fri because you don't know when...
