Hello guys, I am so worried right now. Im currently in college, hoping to get into nursing program soon for my bachelors in Texas. My question is, can I still be a licensed nurse if I have one DUI, that did not lead to a conviction, it was dismisse...

Hello everyone, I am happy to say that I am now a student nurse in a BSN program! I use to post on here worrying that I would not get in the program and now here I am in my second semester! Anyways, I had an embarrassing happening today, has any othe...

ouch!

thanks Jory, I send you a message, if you don't mind replying it would be great!

Thanks for the advice for Jory!. By the time I apply to take NCLEX, it would have been 5 years since I had it dismissed. I will stay positive!

Do you think i will be denied a license over a dismissal?

Okay but I'm not trying to expunge a conviction, because there was no conviction. I just have a dismissed case I want to expunge.

Has anyone here ever doubt that they would ever be admitted into a nursing program?? Im currently 21 and I'm about to finish all my pre requisites in one more semester. I just went for advisement with the counselor today and for some strange reason,...

thanks guys, your comments are very encouraging. I will continue my goal to be a nurse :)

congratulations =D....but I have most of my basics, I really wanted a bachelor since I have every requirement for it. Thanks for your optimism =]

Thank you, for your optimism =]

I was working on getting into a nursing program but I barely ran into this sight. Reading through all the negative comments on this site I'm not sure if this is something I should pursue, even if Ive been so happy to thinking that this was right for...

Im a male and I'm currently working on the pre-requisites for BSN. Any advice?? I really would like to start off here and eventually get more experienced and go on to be a practitioner or PA. Has anybody done this?? How are the nursing conditions i...

How do these two compete?? Ive heard a lot about jobs with nursing, is it any better with an associates in medical technology?? Do people with a degree in medical technology have a hard time finding a job and making a good career?

Cool what advice would you give to someone like me who wants to get into nursing?

Were you very nervous when you first started to make these type of decisions?? How did you over come them??

Anyone have any experiences with judgment calls?? What type are made by a nurse?? I'm just wondering, thanks for any experiences =]

Thanks for that =]. Im planning on trying to volunteer so I can take a closer look inside and see how I feel about it. While I work on my basics of course!

Okay I understand this advice, but I was wondering if its not wise to volunteer and maybe try to shadow with nurses and see how I like it? And if i do like it I can continue to pursue nursing?? Or is it unwise to do that and try something more basic?...

wow guys thanks a lot for your information. And yes I am already looking into volunteering and will soon be contacting my local hospitals for these opportunities. I just want to be a nurse, what can I say lol

Hmm, good points. I didn't think being a male could be seen as to my advantage

I will look into that too =] thank you!

how are those jobs for people with a degree in medical technology?? How does that look?

I guess you can say that for a lot of markets, not just nursing??. Seems like teachers are also having a hard time

Thanks for the info and advice. I just don't know where Ill go if not this, its something I really wanted to pursue.
