  2. Foley pain

    8130 replied to lucy8686's topic in General Nursing

    Lucy, this is not a dumb question and shows that you want to improve your nursing knowledge and patient care. It’s very possible you already asked someone at work about this and you did not get a...

  3. 41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    8130 replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    I am 38 and will take my last nursing school final tomorrow. You can do this. My suggestion is to start with a basic nursing degree (RN) at a community college. Zero to low student loans and no...

  4. Medical Assistant vs. RN

    8130 replied to HTXTed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't consider the CMA role if you are capable of doing an RN. The RN income potential and versatility, as well as ability to move up within an organization will be a night and day difference...

  5. Nursing school at 38?

    8130 replied to Elle7745's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, it is not too late. In fact I think that after raising children and being a mom you are likely better prepared for a nursing career. I too am 38 and will finish this December. About four...

    8130 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    8130 replied to 8130's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi ylime77! Good luck to you. I started this thread last January and actually ended up meeting what are now my best friends in nursing school! You are obviously welcome to post here but I wonder if...

  8. Seeking advice, ASN or BSN

    8130 replied to ashleyl13's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with previous posters and am currently doing the exact same plan as poster #1. Work hard to get into the CC program, get your RN, and then have the flexibility to do the rest online. I too am...

  9. Why is nursing school so expensive!?

    8130 replied to jwillnyc's topic in General Students

    I would start with your community college ADN and then do an RN to BSN. I'm a second career future nurse and have chosen this path myself. I just couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a...

  10. Fall 2016 Century College Applicants

    8130 replied to GRue2016's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the program now and got in on the first round with a 12.1 for fall. I think you are in good shape with your score but then I'm not sure what the lowest score was that was accepted. You have...

  12. My Family can't see me as a Nurse but it's my dream

    8130 replied to Adrianaboydlewis's topic in General Students

    I too have a non nursing bachelors and am in nursing school right now. In my family's case, there is/was this attitude that nursing was "beneath me" somehow. Nursing has been my dream since I was a...

  13. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    8130 replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I have to say, I'm a little horrified at the way the OP was treated here. Come on, everyone. What's the purpose of this forum? Support and advice. Some of the comments here were truly mean. And for...

  14. CNA / Medical Assistant..which is better for RN field

    8130 replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA! Cost is way lower and quicker to complete. Your work will be very relevant for preparation as a future RN. As an MA, you are prepared to work in doctors offices and trained on everything from...

  15. Medical assistant specialty

    8130 replied to Mercades's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think the income is pretty much the same across the board. Can you still switch to nursing instead? Income potential will e much higher as well as career advancement

  16. Supervised Smoking Requirement Legal?

    8130 replied to adodell85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This should be addressed with management. I had similar duties in the years 2000/2001 and it was a hospital. I found it absolutely discussing and unhealthy. I realize that the nursing home is home to...

  17. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    8130 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I say this with compassion: you need a break. If being an inpatient looks appealing, you are tired. Really tired. And maybe need to re charge and decide if nursing is for you. Try doing evening...

  19. Is it a bad idea to go to nursing school right now? (No more shortage)

    8130 replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I begin nursing school this fall and here's how I see it: the shortage may have ended...maybe it was never as big as the media let on...or it may be huge. In any case, nursing as a profession will...

  20. Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    8130 replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Rather than take it out on the coworker, discuss your Saturday chaos with management. Keeping the person out of it makes more sense for everyone involved. Overall, I think it's best not to fixate on...

  21. Choose Your Favorite TV Nurse

    8130 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Helen Rosenthal, St. Elsewhere. She's strong, nurturing and inspiring all in one. A great role

    I am from the twin cities but have been to Rochester and it seems like a great place! If you are curious about the cost of housing, look at realtor.com and put in Rochester. Rochester is a very up to...

  23. Nursing Central Required Before Starting Program

    8130 posted a topic in General Students

    Anyone know why a purchase of Nursing Central is required at the bookstore the summer before starting class? None of the other books are required this early. I'm not complaining about it, just truly...

  25. Why are nursing prerequisites not the same

    8130 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would agree with your frustration. Although I put all of my eggs in one basket and applied to one program. I took the classes they required, took the teas, and got in. I agree with the poster who...
