About MissMeeks

MissMeeks specializes in N/A.

I hold a BS in Healthcare Administration and have decided to obtain a RN by way of an ADN. I have chosen to become a nurse for several reasons: I enjoy helping others, I thrive in fast paced, ever changing environments, I enjoy non-traditional work schedules, I desire a profession that will always be in demand and well compensated and in order to meet my ultimate goals, I need the hands on training that being an RN provides. I am somewhat nervous to take on this endeavor because I am going further into debt and already have a degree, but I feel the return on this investment will be realized. I am not as nervous about getting through school (although I am prepared for a rough road) as I am about finding a job once I graduate. I feel like I will eventually work as a travel nurse, RN Case Manager, Med-Surg RN or Psychiatric RN.

    I have done more research and this is definitely something that is offered in a LOT of places via a variety of methods! In fact, we would be better off to do one of the many ADN to MSN programs. Looks...

    They won't let me get it any sooner than Friday because I guess you have to wait like 5 days between the two tests. So I can get injected Friday and read Sunday and then by Monday I will be all...

    Wow I wonder if the obese nurse issue has been addressed elsewhere?! I'm sure it has. I too contemplate patient ideas about overweight nurses/aids/physicians. As a person who has always been obese,...

  13. BSN or Nurse Practitioner?

    MissMeeks replied to RNstudent15's topic in General Students

    I was treated by a NP in the ER several months ago. An RN took care of most everything, and then the NP was the one who did what a MD typically does in the ER. She misdiagnosed me but nonetheless,...
