I so want this to happen.

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day 😂 (Not being making fun of you or anything OP, just some banter.)

I can't believe this. What terrible news. I have been a member of AN for about a year, and in these past few months I have started reading this site everyday. I love it so much. Brian Short has created such an amazing community that has helped so ma...

I once saw a post on Facebook where someone said they were "lack toast intolerant" ...they were completely serious.

Google and find out the nearest hospitals to you, visit their websites and see if they have a volunteer application, call them if there's nothing on their website and ask them your licensing question.

- I'm not ready for school. - This summer went by way too quickly (it still feels like July to me). - I need to get the brakes on my car fixed - My school waits until the very last minute to send out our course schedules and this annoys me greatly....

Someone actually enjoys their job? There must be something wrong with her!

How about you become a CNA? Classes typically take a few weeks. That way you can be working relatively soon, and can work while in nursing school. And maybe find a nursing program with a shorter waiting list?

In my personal experience, I would say that volunteering is a good experience and could benefit you as a CNA. At the hospital I volunteer at, I go from room to room on one unit and ask patients how they're doing, refill their water if it's empty, get...

I have heard this from relatives before, "You shouldn't stop at being just a nurse! You should become a doctor." These are the same people who don't know what being a nurse really is...they think it's an easy job and nurses don't do anything.

I relate to what you said in this paragraph a lot. You're not the only one feeling that way. I think it's normal to be nervous about nursing school, because it IS competitive, and the workload CAN be hard to handle. But if you are determined and nu...

This gave me a good laugh. :)

I'm not a nurse yet, just a volunteer, but I have a few people who really stick out in my mind... There was this one man who seemed pretty quiet. One day though, I saw him in the hallway, and I asked him if he was going home now. He was like "Hell ye...

I relate to you a whole lot. At one point, I had considered going to school for nursing, social work, or OT as well. I want a job where I am able to help people and I'm interested in working with people who are mentally ill. You do both of these thin...

This. Once, my mom had an serious allergic reaction during the middle of the night. Me and my sister were around 4 years old at the time, and our parents didn't feel comfortable leaving us home alone, so they brought us to the ER with them. Life happ...

When I read the original post, the first thing that came to my mind was hospice thrift stores being a place where they re-sold people's clothes and belongings after they passed on I'm glad to hear it's something much nicer than that!!

I would just say "Oh okay, sorry," and then start putting the seat down. Problem solved.

I've been volunteering at a hospital, and it has been really beneficial for me. I've greatly improved my interpersonal skills and increased my confidence because of having to talk to so many different patients. I'm generally a shy person and it has h...

I second the massage therapist comment. It seems relaxing to be helping other people relax imo. Plus being an RN, you would have an array of helpful knowledge on the body. In my area, it's $80+ for an hour long massage. Sounds like good money. You ...

Congrats on getting accepted! :) I'm going to be a senior too, and also I want to do the CNA program at boces. It's definitely worth it. You'll be able to get experience dealing with patients and when you're in college you can work. A lot of the skil...

Hello everyone...I'm going to be a junior in high school in the fall and will be applying to nursing schools sometime towards the end of the school year. I'm wondering what I should do to better prepare myself for nursing school. My area has a career...

By "wasting my time" I meant that while others my age will be taking LPN courses, I will not. Thank you, and also Crew2Nursing for your advice.
