I'm back to nursing, I think. Maybe I'll get a job at a derm. office after graduating. I've thought about that too and sort of forgot about it, but after giving advice about it to someone else it is...
Thanks that really helped and your post almost made me cry You are older than me by five years but I did feel what you were telling me and I'm glad that I heard it from someone who is pretty...
From what I know, all you need is your RN license to perform those procedures. No additional certificates or licenses and it's only open to RNs and above. Lots of physicians would be willing to train...
If a nurse declines to make those ridiculous requests of the visitors/patients and if they complain to the hospital, will the administrators really get on the nurse's case or will they understand the...
I have another question. Would I be able to work as a social worker with a nursing degree ADN? Is there a way to combine both areas? Also, if I do become a nurse, where can I work besides the...
I have been thinking about doing social work since yesterday and thought how nice it would be to work with children and help them have a role model :chuckle I've loved working with children and...
I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that I will like nurisng school and both of the schools which I'm planning on applying to in a year after my pre-reqs don't look at the GPA. One's lottery and the...
Oh yea. I would LOVE to take a year off of school and just explore and live on my own. But my parents would be disappointed in me, esp. my mom. My mom is the one who wants me to go into nursing and my...
You think I would kill someone just because I'm not as determined as some others to become a nurse?? and I did do some readings on nurses who incorporated business into their careers and I am not...
Oh, and I also envy the fact that my friends (except those who are studying to become doctors) won't have to deal with bodily fluids, smells, etc and not work around ill patients. That's not very...
I've prayed about it, but I haven't been getting any answers so I gave up, which is bad. I thought there were times when I had received signs and that I should go for those careers and when they ended...
adn program is not that expensive... I dont want to work at a hospital yet because I'm afraid that it will make my nursing career shorter :uhoh21: thanks for the advice though. i woke up so i can get...
I'm planning on applying to two nursing programs and as long as you have a high GPA and have taken the required and strongly recommended courses you should not have a problem getting in. I have a...
Researching did help me a lot because if I didn't do them and just went into nursing school I would've been SHOCKED. Plus, nurses on this forum told me what it's like and of course it's nothing like...
Oh and the test that I have to take at the end of the nursing school also freaks me out because I do not want any set backs on my plan. And I've been hearing how difficult nursing school can be..I...
Do you have to relate the diseases that you learn about to yourself? Why don't you just think of them as diseases that you have to study and not as something that you maybe have? I doubt that the...
Ok I just erased my post. Don't ask why :rotfl: Have you ever experienced a death of your own patient? How did you handle it? Does it ever get easier?? Was there ever a time where you just could not...
Yes, death can sometimes be a blessing to the patient.. What nurses do in their careers are amazing. If I ever become ill (hopefully never ) i hope I get a nurse who truly cares for the patients to...
I think the hardest part for me when i do become a nurse will be dealing with loss of patients. I can't believe you said that the body was already stiff and you had to put it in a bag Do you find...
Why are you getting ppl to compare the teachers' salary to that of the nurses?? :uhoh21: RNs where I live earn an average starting salary of 55k if I'm correct. I live in s. cali. Orange
