I've seen USPHS mentioned in several posts and have checked out their website. It sounds like it could be a good opportunity. Do any of you have any information on USPHS? Do any of you have personal experience with USPHS? If so, would you please l...

I am currently taking prerequisites for entrance into a nursing program and feel quite certain I want to work in the NICU. I'm curious how many of you had babies or knew someone closely who had a baby in the NICU and if that influenced your decision...

Another one saying B. The others don't really make sense in light of the information you're given.

I know this is old but I have clinical at Hurley and I enjoy it there. Most people have been very helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Clinical this semester is second shift and they won't let us walk out by ourselves but I haven't had any i...

I know that there have to be others out there with higher student loan debt than this. I applaud all of you that did it with no debt or with very little debt! I imagine it must have been incredibly difficult to do! Good for you! I know there are othe...

I looked at various programs for years while I worked on my prerequisites and made sure other things were in order. I ended up choosing a BSN program because there was no waitlist and with the waitlists the CC's here had, I'd actually finish my BSN b...

Is there anything you're passionate about? An area you find particularly interesting? Something you've seen that you thought should be changed? Does it have to be within a certain topic or can you choose?

Good for you! :) I'll be giving meds on Thursday and already passed our meds test. I know it can be a bit nervewracking. I also understand wanting to stay with the patient - it just means you care and that's a good thing! Good luck to you! Tiffany

I am not yet a nurse so can't really help as far as information goes. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck! Tiffany

Good luck to you! Please keep us posted. Sending prayers your way... Tiffany

I'm not a nurse yet, but when I was hospitalized to stop premature labor, and also when my son was in the NICU, they had us choose a goal and wrote that on the board along with the other information. It could be something as simple as help with a dia...

Good luck when you visit the school! Please do keep us posted. We'll cheer you on the whole way! Tiffany

First, I am very sorry for your loss. I've experienced many miscarriages and know it is incredibly painful. My heart goes out to you. Second, congratulations! It sounds like you handled things very well. Impressive! I am sure you will be an asset to...

I think you'd be crazy not to stay in school if this is what you truly want. Life is too short to give up on your dreams. Since it looks like money will not be a major concern, if you get further into it and find you no longer want to become a nurse,...

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and hope you find peace in whatever decision you make. As a mother myself, I know it can be agonizing (to put it mildly) to try to figure out what to do, when to do it, and weigh all the pros and cons. Goo...

You are definitely not too old - not even close! I say if this is what you want, go for it. I wish you the best of luck! :) Tiffany

Sending some hugs your way. I wish I had something I could add, something that might help... I also think you sound like an incredible nurse and your patients will be lucky to have you. Hang in there. Tiffany

I just wanted to wish you good luck!

Okay, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but what is this "brain" you're talking about? I think I've seen a few people mentioning "brains" but not in reference to the organ...

Great post. I hope many others will post why they do it too. Thank you! Tiffany

Here is another link: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/intmedstandards.htm Hope it helps! :) If I find any more information, I'll post it too. Tiffany

I found this link about questions they supposedly ask: http://www.military.com/Recruiting/Content/0,13898,rec_step04_questions_med,,00.html I do know that you can get waivers for many things, so if the military is something you are interested in, st...

I hear you on costs being high! My tuition and fees first semester adds up to $4200. My books are about $1000. Titers are mandatory, even if you get the vaccinations again, and those ran $296. Vaccinations were necessary because I did not show immuni...

I'm not a nurse, but 2 rounds of indocin partially closed my son's PDA. It was enough that they decided to watch and see how he did. It ended up closing on its own after that, even though it took awhile. He was a 28 weeker and was not completely stab...

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's friend. I can understand why they're looking for signs things will be okay in every little thing she does. People handle tough situations differently. I wish there was something I could say to ease your stress. ...
