  1. How to make yourself "indispensable"? And a question about nursing education?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Nursing

    It appears there's a lot of competition out there in the real world of nursing and the shortage is a myth. I'm a student (loving the challenge of nursing school, I've never been happier), but I'm...

  2. How to make yourself "indispensable"? And a question about nursing education?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    Perfect, great recommendation. I found an intensive immersive program recommended by a friend to help me on my way to fluency in Spanish. I'll enroll after my post-graduation travels! Maybe try to bag...

  3. What have you learned about communicating with people through your nursing job?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting my level one in a few weeks (and I'm very very excited). One thing I'm excited about is spending time with older folks. I find older people are so fascinating, they've lived an entire...

  4. Just an annoyance I'm sure you all can relate to.

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Students

    I went to see a new dentist today, and in the usual conversation with new patients she asked what I was studying. I told her I was a nursing student. And she said, "and then you'll go to medical...

  5. Fun opportunities to work/travel as a bilingual?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious about experiences or resources from working abroad (doctors without borders?), travel nursing, whatever just getting out there and having an exciting and meaningful job for a young nurse...

    Thank you, this is really helpful advice.

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Nursing

    I thought I was guaranteed free housing and food for my 2 years of nursing school. Tonight, it kind of fell through. I'd rather not give details. So, I'm 21, I haven't been saving up for housing...

    This is really great, thanks for your response, and to everyone, really. In light of all this, I'm definitely selling some items and furniture I don't need. I have enough from when a family member...

    Not for profit, it's a state school. That's just school alone, but includes all fees and supplies. I am at this school because I have a scholarship. Community college here wouldn't be cheaper when all...

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    Starting salary is about 42k a year for new grads (it's a poor state). I did the math (many times) to figure out what school will cost with the scholarship, and it's pretty much 42k total, without the...

    Thank you, this is helpful. I'll really need to think about

  12. Anyone worked as a nurse without a home?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in Travel

    I am wondering if anyone has lived out of a camper van, RV, or just a regular van, while working as a travel nurse- how did it go? What were the challenges, and unexpected perks? If not, when assigned...

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in Travel

    You got it for FREE?? That's an amazing stroke of luck! This is super awesome and inspiring,

  14. Do people expect you to act a certain way because of your chosen profession?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ever since I got accepted into nursing school, people seem to think it's their job to tell me how to behave. I'll do or say something and I'll get a response usually resembling "you can't do that if...

  15. Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Likewise

  16. Brainstorming to minimize debt?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all! I'm starting my level one nursing this upcoming fall (yay!) and I crunched some numbers on cost of attendance. My parents are awesome and handle my FAFSA and anything to do with loans. So far...

  17. Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    This shocks me. As a "kid" I would never DREAM of being even remotely rude to anyone, especially when I'm brand new to such a vast and respected profession. Blows my mind. Glad I haven't run into any...

  18. Anatomy with Chemistry

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to taypas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my chemistry over a summer. I would honestly go with the third option, just because anatomy is so vital to understanding everything else in nursing school and you don't want to breeze through...

  19. Nurses, where are the coolest places your job has taken you?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing posted a topic in General Nursing

    What are the most interesting places you've taken your career, or non-traditional jobs you've had with a nursing

  20. Microbiology and Human Anatomy at the same time?

    Cats&Tea&Climbing replied to Nari's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the set up of your classes. For me, anatomy and physiology I and II are A&P, instead of splitting it up. It my second anatomy class we covered the immune system and it was a...
