Hey guys, I will soon be starting my 1st rotation in nursing school. I want to mentally prepare myself for what is to come. I will be honest, I am a little concerned how I will be treated in the hospital by my female instructors. I'm not concerned ab...

What type of rotations/units does maternity encompass and what were some of your experiences, good and bad?

To be honest I didn't have the grades or MCAT scores to even apply for med school. I could have possibly gone to a Caribbean medical school but i felt it was too risky and expensive to go that route. My options after graduating with my environmental ...

Also what did you like and dislike the most?

Actually the average salary for a CRNA is 175k, it can range from as low as 130k to as high as 210k. They make a ton more money than PA's which typically make 80-90k on average. http://www.nurse-anesthesia.org/content.php/257-Average-CRNA-Salary-in-2...

Hey guys, I wondering when your friends/family found out you got accepted to nursing school how they felt and what they said? I didn't get much applause or praise. I got more questions than praise. However my friends who got into dental/med, pharmacy...

My question is do nursing programs give their students some exposure in ICU/ER/NEURO/OR, anything involving critical care? I'm hoping to work in critical care when I graduate

Not necessarily, remember that money is the root of all evil. It always comes down to money. It is possible they feel older nurses cannot lift and be active as the younger crowd. I feel tho nurses with experience are expected to be paid more than a n...

That's awesome!!! Congrats! You must be doing a certificate program through a hospital? I don't think our nursing program will offer us all these rotations, i hope they do tho!

You'll be surprised to know some places actually do not like hiring people with too much experience, since they think you will expect a hire salary than a new graduate. Some places are just looking for the "right" amount of experience or maybe a lit...

Getting a job at barnes and noble can be quite difficult nowadays. Many English majors apply to B&N, even tho you'll get a minimum wage job, it is somewhat relevant to the field. It's however not a salary a person can live on. I also forgot to me...

Guys u have to realize this is not unique to nursing. If u see my previous posts on this thread as well as from others you can see many other healthcare professions are also suffering, like Pharmacy, Medical Assisting, and Phlebotomy. Tuition costs f...

Thats b/c its detroit lol, didnt detroit just go bankrupt.

Yes, both PA/NP are solid careers. However I am starting to notice that some PA jobs require some work experience. Eventually I do feel PA like pharmacy, will keep opening schools and there will be an oversupply sometime in the future. Also I have re...

Also, pharmacy jobs are hard to find nowadays. Pharmacy is being taken over by robotics, automation, etc...It's no longer the lucrative career it once was. Yes, Robot pharmacies now exist, they can dispense drugs, count pills, label bottles, etc....I...

Im going to go out on a limb and try to explain how the economy works. In fact, ill make it simple, the economy effects healthcare, it is not recession proof like some people claim. If indeed there are more wars, money will be needed to pay it off. t...

Experience is valued more than a degree, this is true. We go into college thinking that once we get that degree, we will be invincible, we will stand out from all the rest. Sadly, since every1 has a degree now, it's just that a piece of paper you wip...

Indeed! I think the experience will be very helpful. CHHA experience will be good for the home/nursing home setting. If worse comes to worse i have an uncle that works at a hospital, ill ask him to help get me a job as an RN.

Hi all, I graduated in 2012 with a degree I wasn't able to find a job in. Even if i did, It would likely be a low paying job in the 20-30k range. I'm currently pursuing nursing as a 2nd degree and will be graduating in 2015. I wanted to ask how the j...

I'm assuming they might have an option of re-taking the class. So they may have to sit out a year until they can retake it. If you fail to many time like 2-3, then likely the person will be let go. Chances are it will be difficult finding another nur...

Yeah it seems nothing is really secure nowadays...Well I might as well give it a shot instead of just twiddling my thumbs at home. It's either nursing or fast food/retail as a career, I'll try to get my foot in the door with a hospital b4 I graduate ...

Your right, my motivation shouldn't be based on how others feels and it certainly isn't. To answer your question it's a second bachelors degree BSN program for me. It's traditional not accelerated due to financial aid constraints since I need to work...

It's possible, I do think that many females with a higher gpa than mines got rejected. But i'm just speculating, my opinion.

I think she needs sum1 to fill in certain hours which is probably why she's asking you when your last day is. If this is the case and the work hours conflict with your school schedule I would let it go or possibly try transferring to another departme...
