Was talking with my mother about moving to another state. She’s always wanted to but she has an established career where we are. Making 40 plus an hour as a staff ICU nurse. how does relocating look to her. I imagine she’d have to gain trust to work at a another hospitals staff member. She’s in her 40s. Her body has paid for working 10 years a nurse. So I am worried for her. Any advice?

I’m just scared. I haven’t talked to my mother or friends really on this (not that they’d understand). I have 2.8 GPA and a cumulative 2.7 GPA. The lower division benchmark is 3.0 and 2.0 cumulative. I've never failed a class. I’ve had to retake after taking a break from college. I wrote the admission petition already and soon I’ll get results. Im real nervous and thinking of all my mistakes up to this point.

Don’t know if should join. I’m a 25 year old woman, currently in college to become a nurse. I wanted to join the military at 18 but didn’t so that I could help my mother and sisters. I’ll be 28 upon graduation and possibly in 30s if I decide to join. I don’t regret my decision but I still dream of joining still here and there. To serve, to see the world, and learn to be a better nurse. But I also want manage my civilian life well which is why I’ve decided to look into the reserve and national guard components. Only thing holding me back is that I want to be married at some point. Next to being a military nurse, I’ve always wanted a family of my own. How can I have a family of my own while in the military or even date properly. I live in a small town now; with dreams of adventure and being skillful in the medical field. I’m unsure of this aspect and if I should join. For third reason I’ve looked more into the air guard or reserves for more balance. Though I know they still deploy. How does being a service member effect families and being a wife? I don’t mind hard answers.

Hi I’m a nursing student who desperately wants to travel. I’ve always envisioned myself with a dog while doing so. But am not sure how people travel with big dogs. I want a bigger dog for protection and hiking. I’m single and probably will in the further so I feel like this would be a great idea. How have you done this? Doggy hotels? What should I look into? From what I’m understanding bringing a pet in general can be very limiting. Should I travel while on free time instead of becoming a travel nurse?

I’m currently finishing my pre reqs for nursing. I’ve dreamt of being in the navy since I was young. But am becoming unsure. I want to be an ICU nurse. But don’t know if I’ll be able to practice as much as I’d like to since I’ve heard that navy corpsman gets more field of practice than nurses do in the navy. While nurses mostly lead and do management nursing. I wanted to hear of the opportunities that navy nurses have. Do they get to travel. How hard is it to become an icu nurse?

I’m currently nowhere near graduating from even my bsn. I’m only completing my pre reqs. But am thinking of my future. I’m 22 years old and would love to be a nurse midwife after gaining my bsn and having experience as a nurse. I watched a video on YouTube. Though many in the comments say that the video is inaccurate in terms of data. Are midwives still needed in the U.S, are they really on a decrease, and should I consider a different field. I’m interested in women’s health, and feel like this field may be right for me. I’ll have to see in the future as a nurse to be sure, and gain experience before applying. But I want to know if the field is any decrease in terms of staff or salary. And if the speacialty is in a bad state; should I go the FnP route? I live in Kentucky, but want to travel a lot as a nurse. Especially as a midwife in the future. I hope I’m making sense. Any advice or help would be great. Thanks.

Currently I am doing my pre reqs to get into nursing school and am wanting to move out of my mother's house, whose currently in nursing school. Shes been an amazing motivation and Im watching my sisters while shes in school and work. I really want experience before i start nursing school, for some background, and to know how to be a good nurse. A lot of people advise not to work while in nursing school, and to stay in school and live with parents. But, ive watched my mom go through lpn school and now through bsn school. I have no kids of my own. And in general, I really want to grow and do something with my life. The rent here is cheap, good apartments around 650. And as a cna id be payed 10/hr. Any advice?

I'm currently a senior in High School, and have been planning to enlist in the Navy. I want to join purely out my heart and for a good way to start my future. I want to be navy corpsman for some medical experience, because I plan on going to school to be a nurse after my four years of enlistment, but I know that getting the corpsman slot is not certain. My problem is this, what's the best way in getting a nursing degree? And what are the differences between ADN and BSN? After my enlistment I really want to get the Associates Degree Rn, due to lack of time in school compared to the BSN path. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
