  1. degree changers, was nursing harder than your previous degree?

    Aliareza replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    My BBA in accounting was much easier than doing my nursing degree has been. As another poster said, nursing forces you to think in an entirely new way. It blends so many different points of view. It...

  2. Your opinion on degrees.

    Aliareza replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

    For me, the ADN first then do BSN route was better, even with me having a prior 4-year degree and being able to bridge. When I first started, there were only 2 options: ADN at a community college,...

  3. Program nixed exam reviews...how do I adapt?

    Aliareza replied to leia.braggins's topic in General Students

    Why did your professors make this change? Have you spoken to them about it? My school did something similar to this with the reasoning being that you won't know what you got wrong on standardized...

  4. What is a Nurses Calling?

    Aliareza replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely didn't have a "calling" to be a nurse. I got my accounting degree and was very bored with the end result of that, so I decided to pick something else to do, something that mattered. I...

    Aliareza replied to Burkeeexoh's topic in General Students

    You're going to be fine as a nurse. Know how I know? Nothing in your post talked about how you hate doing the dirty work or get sick of your patient. You don't dislike the nursing aspect of your...

  6. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    Aliareza replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to go into the TMI zone. Before I got into nursing school or worked as a CNA for the hospital, I was a cashier at wal-mart. Management dictated our uniforms: light khaki pants, dark blue...

  7. Can I Make it in Today's Nursing?

    Aliareza replied to foxlover's topic in General Nursing

    You sound a lot like me :). I have a prior 4-year degree, I was successfully establishing myself in another field, and I found it very boring and unsatisfying to sit behind a desk and be cozy all day....

  8. Can you become a PACU nurse w/o experience

    Aliareza replied to Samt9's topic in PACU

    In my hospital, it's impossible to get into PACU. Everybody wants it because the patient load sometimes gives you time to actually breathe and the hours are better than ICU. Good luck seeing if you...

  9. Long hair unrestrained at work

    Aliareza replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have long hair, and I don't wear it down very often, but I certainly don't put it in a bun or anything. It's very thick and heavy, so it literally gives me headaches when I have to bun it for...
