wanna-be-nurse

Thank you so much Ranaazha, I think this will be very helpful in my time management.

Can I please get a copy of that too, I think that would be very helpful. Thanks.

I guess you just have to make the best with what you have. I go to Lehman-CUNY and I'm happy so far. If you want a more organized administration with more resources and less beauracracy, go to a private school. But I can tell you that you are goi...

Don't flame me!!!! lol. And you know nurses will. lol.

Sounds like a great career, would have liked to look into it b4 nursing school but I'm happy with nursing school, eventhough its kicking my butt...lol. Goodluck, where in NYC are you, I'm in Manhattan.

Nice, 24-27/hr is not bad. Wouldn't mind that. How is the job market in NYC for techs and is there opportunity to grow in the profession? I also heard they cap after a while is that true? I have to say though, nursing is great in NYC, we start at...

A Box of Chocolates: You never know what ya gonna get. (I know, I know but I just couldn't resist...lol):rotfl:

I agree, very well said. There is too much to teach in nursing school to spend time teaching basic math skills. It is why there are pre-requisites, there are the foundation to nursing classes as should basic math skills be the foundation to drug ca...

I recently went to Asia and the nurses there still wear a traditional white cap and dress uniform for work!!!!! They also have white pants and a maternity uniform too!! What a culture shock!! Interesting.

I am soooo happy my school requires us NOT to use a calculator. I felt so scared to do dosage calculations not because because of the math, which then prompted me to use a calculator to make it easier. But once I tackled my fears, I feel much more ...

Hello everyone, nice thread by the way...Well, I have always loved labor and delivery and babies. I am currently in nursing school (BSN program) and I keep hearing that LD nurses don't really get much respect like lets say ICU or ED nurses. ICU and...

ok thanks.

What would you get your MSN in? Sorry perhaps I'm not understanding you but if your a nurse, what are your current two degress in?

What would you get your MSN in?

I am also a second degree student in a BSN program, I have a BA in Psychology. I decided to go for my BSN cause it takes the same time to get an ADN, plus some hospitals want BSN's, at least in NYC. With that said, I plan to go to grad school but w...

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the BSN program at Lehman College in NYC? Seen some previous threads and haven't really read anything on Lehman. I am starting (just got accepted this past fall into the program...yeh!) my clinicals an...

I sent you a pm since I am interested in what you have to say more about Lehman. I do agree with you about some things. I do not believe it is welfare. I was not handed anything to get into the program and got in by my own merits. I have a 3.5 gpa a...

Hey Guys!!! I was wondering which is better for a first semester BSN student: a spiral notebook with detachable sheets for each subject (that means about 4 notebooks) or a binder so I can carry all my subjects all the time. Why worry is that the bind...

Well said, I will try to remember that when I'm thrown in the dungeon (after I graduate from nursing school and start work)...:rotfl:

Its easy to say what one person would do in a situation like this. Hind sight is...you know. I think that the only way you will know how to handle this is by experience. Look at how the nurses (older more experienced ones) handle this. Don't look...

Thanks I wasn't aware of that. Sorry about that. Okay any message regarding where would be great, even if its just the city (I'm from NYC) or an IM would be appreciated also. Thanks again Gompers.

Do you mind if I ask where do you work at? I would also like to know where the rest of you work? I love that you feel that way. Its difficult to keep my head up when all you hear is the negative in nursing. But I guess nursing wouldn't be nursing...

Good point Elizabeth! You almost changed my opinion. I agree with you but my other concern would be the health of the mother. At 66. the aging process is much faster than the aging process of a woman in her 30's. Much more health complications ca...

I hate to hear this from anyone. You shouldn't have to work like this. I feel that these type of MD's have MAJOR insecurities. Anyone who feels good about themselves do not, I repeat, do not have the need to belittle anyone. I feel these type of ...
