  11. This is like going to war...

    diamondmeadows replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Students

    Don't get too worked up before you even start; especially not because of what you are reading here, where people come to vent about their extremely stressful jobs and clinicals. Also, remember that...

  12. Nurses, I need advice

    diamondmeadows replied to kstain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do it! It won't hold you back; it can only help you. If you want the college experience, you can still have it. I was in a traditional BSN program, and there were some LPNs among us. Plus, the option...

  13. A Profession vs Trade article

    diamondmeadows replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but if you read the article and didn't have previous knowledge of nursing, I don't think that's what you would gather from the article. She says that RNs are being "phased out in some places."...

    I'm sorry you're feeling so terrible. It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure. I don't know if I can truthfully say that it gets easier or better, but I can say that you get used to it. Hang in...

  19. Is more education a mistake for me?

    diamondmeadows posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll just warn you that this is another unemployed new (old?) grad post, so I appreciate your taking the time to read it anyway. :heartbeat I graduated with a BSN in May 2009, and I'm expecting my...

  21. Is more education a mistake for me?

    diamondmeadows replied to diamondmeadows's topic in General Nursing

    diamondmeadows replied to psustudent5's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this is worth much since I'm a new grad, but I just decided that it was what I wanted to do and that nothing was going to stop me. So I just did it, and that's that. Good

  25. Calhoun vs. UAH

    diamondmeadows replied to litchi's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hi! I graduated from UAH in May. Unfortunately, I can't really compare it to the program at Calhoun because I didn't go through the program there. :) However, I would guess that both programs are...
