1. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

   littletwinstar replied to MeTheRN's topic in SRNA

   thank you so much! that last question was sitting heavily on my conscience. Do you have any advice as to how to get into ICU being a new grad? I'm not seeing/hearing any places that are really hiring them (1 year experiance requirement) and I'm sure ...

2. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

   littletwinstar replied to MeTheRN's topic in SRNA

   Two questions. 1) how should I prepare for the program, as in making my chances of being accepted higher? 2) I know you said I havn't did clinicals yet, but would you know if they involve using animals to test on? thank you!

3. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

   hahaha, good point! One of them especially sounded sincere, but I'm sure either way they did not want to say anything that could come back and bite them.

   littletwinstar replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

   You make a good point about my little ones, it does take alot of time and effort for med-school and beyond. Taking care of my family is important, but if I can get around having to sacrifice so much to support them, I'd rather look in other direction...

5. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

   littletwinstar replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

   thank you everyone, this has been so much help to me, I've also looked around the rest of the message boards and have a pretty good idea that it's a pretty bad idea for now. Sorry if any of my questions/comments sounded immature or childish, I don't ...

6. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

   littletwinstar replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you everyone for the advice and warm wishes. I was thinking nursing was a more hands on patient care experiance that I know I'd make less money in (compared to physician pay) but thought I'd be much happier doing it and have a feeling of true u...

7. When to apply for a job

   littletwinstar replied to MCGNurse's topic in New Nurse

   I have a few questions: 1) how do you find out about new grad programs? would calling the hospital directly be the best thing to do? 2) would working (no pay) for a free health care clinic for a year count as that "1 year experiance required" by most...

   I like your post, I think this is what I wanted to say.

9. Bullying

   littletwinstar replied to Sensibility's topic in Relations

   Im not a nurse so I dont really have much advice for you, but I feel your pain as similar things have happened to me before. I'm a barber, and the "hairstylist" crowd is full of nasty immature women who like to ****-talk co-workers and customers to n...

10. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

    littletwinstar replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for the advice and help. I'll look into that. I could end up loving bedside care so much I scrap anesthesia altogether, or it could be to emotional difficult for me to deal with (the patient conditions, not bodily fluids and nasty c...

11. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

    littletwinstar replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    hiddencatRN, where would I be able to find a shadowing program for nursing? I think thats a wonderful idea and actually should be a pre-req for those wanting to become nursing students. I'm halfway into my degree, but alot of my classes would cover m...

    littletwinstar replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    I've been reading through this site and others before that nurses are saying there is no nursing shortage, and I sure do belive them over the school who are profiting off telling people it is. My husband has been trying to push me into nursing and he...

    littletwinstar posted a topic in General Nursing

    Since having my two children (one is now a toddler and the other is an infant) I've realized I would love to become a nurse. I've always had a special place in my heart for children, the elderly, and animals. I love caring for someone else and helpin...
