Yikes...that alone is slightly scary. But if they had straightened out and learned their lesson and are ready to contribute to society I'd be ok with that (second chances and all that). But coupled with the...ok I'm going to say it...weird, threads started by this person - I'm kind of hoping that the answer is NO, they cannot become a nurse. Sorry. Just get a bad vibe. This person has a lot to overcome, and I hope they can do it. But would I want them caring for my friend or family member...based on the posts alone - I'd say no.

(Did I just say that? :rolleyes: )

Specializes in Several, mostly L&D.

I'm an ADN RN with an IQ of 145. You might say I'm an underachiever. I have no idea why you want to know, IQ has nothing to do with success as a nurse, or success with anything else for that matter. Some of the "smartest" people I know are losers, in fact the smartest woman I've ever met works at the county dump.

oh my gosh. joanna!

i was expelled from kindegarten, for continually pig-piling/jumping on all the boys.

and this lady used to bring me to and from school (don't remember who/why), relegated me to the back of her station wagon.

i suppose i was a tad wild in there, too.

(as i recall, i was in trouble too, in the 3rd grade for chasing the boys at recess and beating them up.)

anyways, it's kids like you, that grew up to be great leaders.:)

At the start of first grade Sister Delores had everyone write rows of 1s, 2s, and 3s. Since I'd learned how to read and write at home, I decided it would be good to add a row of 4s. The witch saw my paper, grabbed it off my desk and crumpled it up snapping "I didn't tell you to write 4s!!"Since then I never talk about my intelligence or lack thereof. It borders on shame, actually. But now that I've shared I feel better.

So Weber what/whoever you are, thanks for the entertainment and the partial catharsis! For free even!! :jester:

This is a lot like asking someone if they would like to have sex without getting their name first. Sorry, but it's just not a social norm.

Specializes in PICU, ICU, Hospice, Mgmt, DON.

You have to be kidding...your IQ is the least of your worries. IF you do make it into nursing school, there would be very little chance of you being licencsed by the state or getting a job in a hospital...or anywhere for that matter...with that sort of felony on your record.
