So I had to go in for a physical today, before I can start at my job in 2 weeks. Pretty routine stuff....except for the 3 vials of blood they drew, and the TB skin test I got. And I have to get a c...
yeah i wouldn't be able to do that. The only way i was okay in the maternity ward when my sister was giving birth was that i kept telling myself there's no sick people here just moms and babies ...
Just sick people don't bother me too much. Now, if they were bleeding or losing limbs right in front of me, or if I were part of a surgery taking place, THEN I'd have some issues, hahaha. I can't ...

Fun fun. How did you get into that position? Did you go to any type of nursing/medical school?
yeah..i went to youngstown state university...i did it when i was in high school..i went half day at highschool and then half day at YSU...when i graduated i was a phlebotomist, medical assistant a...
My biggest concern is where to start. I like the idea of becoming a nurse, but all these schools I've looked at require you to be an RN before you can take any of their classes. And then I worry about what type of nurse to be....that if I get trained in one area, and don't like it later on, it would take tons of time and work to switch. Is it easier than I think it is? I honestly am not familiar with this area, so it's all new to me.
well, there are two options for you right now if you definately want to do nursing. you can go for about 2 years and become a LPN or go 4 years and become a RN. RN is where the money is at. Once your a RN or LPN you can specialize in a certain field like vascular or neonatal etc. What you should do, is hospitals are really hurting for nurses, so alot of times they will have a RN program and its usually only 2years and they hire you. You should look into that. There's always Ultrasound Tech(which is what i do basically and LOVE it) and X-Ray Tech...those are shorter degrees that pay well.
OOooh...that also sounds very cool. Thanks! :)
