    Am I too small to be a nurse?

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Long story short, I went for my nursing school physical this morning and the doctor said she has concern about my size. I'm 5'3" and 92 lbs with a bmi of 16. She still cleared me for the program but...

    You guys are so awesome. I really do feel much better about the whole situation. I guess I'll mark that as a learning experience and make sure to go back to see that doc when I can sign RN behind my...

    Am I too small to be a nurse?

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I think her concern was mostly about my weight and her incorrect thinking that I wouldn't be able to lift and turn patients. I feel that if I learn the correct way to do these tasks...

    Am I too small to be a nurse?

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I was thinking this as well. I really wanted to ask if I was overweight if she would be comfortable criticizing my body size. Seems that it's a bit of a double standard to me. It's OK...

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much. I have started counting calories cause it seems that I forget to eat at times and may only be maintaining my weight. I'm gonna try to gain at least a few times by increasing my...

    Am I too small to be a nurse?

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I felt the same way at the time, but when she kind of shamed me and asked if I was anorexic or bulimic, it made me wonder if maybe she knew something I didn't. I feel fine and it kind of...

    When did you know?

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    When did you know that nursing was your thing? In my school, it's a very large commitment before you even apply and I'm wondering if there is an ah ha moment. I've completed most of my pre requisites...

    Are SNF/LTC common clinical sites for nursing school?

    Sbhayes09 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    From what I know, our program in NC uses Hospital and ltc. Most of the time ltc is more for rehab and vent patient experience though.

    I tried, but my address is tied to the former owner of my home so I can't get past the identity questions

    I feel your pain ladies. I added it up based on forums last night and the longest wait was 21 days and the shortest was 8 days after the deadline. We're sitting at 12 days so hopefully

    Totally signing up for this now. In past years, orientation has been sometime around the last week or two of October. I think they set that date for after the meeting so we all know what to turn
