Dooooooont do it. Its not that great. The pay is horrible. And you are going to be dealing with a lot of body fluids. Think of it as babysitting. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.

OMG. Lmao. So many people are defensive about their age. This is hilariously funny. Some people just cant accept the truth.

Med term is just pure memorization... I would look that teacher up on a rating website. If she's hard or has bad ratings, I would choose another teacher, to make the class easier.

If you really want to be a nurse, then dont give up. There are plenty of colleges out there that will except everyone (however for some, the waiting list is pretty long). If you dont get into nursing school, then you could always become an LPN. The good thing is, there really isnt much math in nursing. It is mostly conversions and simple formulas.

You can expect to get written up but I doubt you would get kicked out. The only way to get kicked out of my program is if you are negligent with your patient, come to class high or hungover or repeatedly fail to do assignments. However, each nursing program is different.

If i were you, I would stick it out. You only have a little over a year left. Once you graduate, start working as a nurse and see if you like it. If you do, great. If you dont, then go with your original plan.

Only if something bad happened to the patient as a result.

Oh, i sure do love stalkers. I think you might of missed the part where i said "However, if this is your dream, then go for it", but then again, I think my hopes were set too high.

Im sorry, but I have to disagree. 35 IS old. And you always have to think ahead. That user will not be a nurse at 35.. It will definitely take them 4-5 more years if they are starting from scratch. I honestly would not recommend going back to school unless you REALLY want to be a nurse and put yourself through all that stress. However, if this is your dream, then go for it.

In my opinion, yes it is. Why would you risk doing that? I would apply to at LEAST 1 more school.

Just dont go. Act like you never got the letter in the mail. They have no way of verifying if you actually received the letter. Plus i doubt anything with happen. Do you know how many people skip jury duty? TONS! The court does not have the resources or money to keep up with all of that.

In my opinion, yes it is. I could never imagine myself going back to school at that age..

I would be a little worried about taking 2 science classes and a math class in the same semester. You mentioned you took 14 credits last semester. How was that? Did you feel you had an adequate amount of study time for each class? There are other factors you should consider. Are you working? Do you have kids? If you feel like you can handle it, then go for it! However, if I were you, I would probably move the chemistry class OR the math class to the summer. That way, I make sure i get the BEST grades possible in each class. Good luck this semester :)

I think you should focus on finishing school before you start thinking about a career. Dont get ahead of yourself

I think your chances are good. Good luck.

Im just gonna be honest and say if I were that age, there would be no way in hell I would go back to school and hit the books again. You have to think that by the time you are all done with school, you would be in your mid 50's. Is the stress of school and the amount of money you are going to spend on school worth it to you? I would just stick it out with your current job.

If nursing is what you really want to do, then go for it.

I think the lady who saw you write the lab values down, reported you. I think you can fail the test for that.

Is this something you really want to do? If so, go for it. You only live once.

Oh i could care less what im called lol. Im only concerned about what Im actually going to be doing in that profession.

Sooo many people are hurt lmao. Some peoples just cant handle the truth :)

Oh cool, so you work in the home setting. Im speaking on my experiences so far in the clinical setting. Being a nurse is just very unappealing for me and I have no idea why so many people are jumping on my back like that. And yup- Im going into a REAL profession, where i will ACTUALLY help people out.. Not just babysit and call the doctor when there is a problem!

Oh im a troll all of a sudden because im just speaking my mind? Ever hear of a profession called nurse practitioner? I stand by my comments. Who cares about the amount of time a doctor spends with their patients. You're acting like nurses only have 1 patient at a time and spend 100% of their time with that single patient. Doctors do the important work- they diagnose, prescribe medication.. And nurses do the dirty work and babysit. But ****, bless everyone who is willing to become a nurse and do all that work for that amount of pay lmao.

Daaamn. Everyone is in their feelings tonight lmao. Yes i am a nursing student but i would NEVER in my life be a nurse. EVER. The **** nurses go through and have to do for the salary they get paid is horrible. I knew coming into nursing school that I didnt want to be a nurse, and just being in the clinical setting, strongly reinforced that decision. And for the example above.. Are you really bragging about digging in someones feces. Like thats something you enjoy doing? Lmao. Anyway, i stand by the comments I have made. NURSES think they use their brain alot? Than what do doctors do? LOL. Doctors are the ones truly saving peoples lives.. Nurses are just babysitting. Stop acting like nurses analyze every single little thing over every single second of work. Most of the time youre being a waiter, cna or housekeeper :)

If you see the patient taking his meds than it is objective. But if the patient STATES that he took his meds, and you are unable to verify that, than it is subjective.
