"how long does it take to fully become a nurse and make good money lol, it's a nice career field, isnt it. :) and yeah is nursing a hard job? do you have to work restless and tired cuz i'd need enough sleep, i dont want a tired looking face lmfao, but yeah."

azn hun, it doesn't take long to fully become a nurse and make good money, if you have a good physique. Yup, it's one of the "nicest" career field. Nursing is not a hard job if you know how to do your "jobs" properly :). No you don't have to work restlessly and tirelessly unless you want to but you will of course feel "restless and tireless" after a good "job". You would definately have a "enough sleep" after your hard working shift. I bet you will look even beautiful and sassy with that "tired looking face" after a "restless and tired" "job" shift.

And one more thing, I am not sure if Nursing is hard but some nurses really do make me "hard".

With luv - Nas ;)

 

Nursing ain't that hard, but will need to spend lot of time doing all kinds of practical training and what not... and work for hospital for "FREE." If you plan to work "legal or illegal" and do nursing it will be very tough in both 3rd and 4th year.

But your bigger problem will be getting admission into Nursing school of your college and or University. That is bigger challenge then anything else unless otherwise your first two year you've got 4.0 and have taken all Bio and Chem classes along with pre-requisites.

My advise, go and join community college; and start there by doing LPN. Rest you will figure it out yourself.

It's up to you to decide whether nursing is hard or not but certainly it is not easy. Like lamak said, if you also plan on working AND studying nursing at the same time then you need a whole lot of discipline. No more barhopping. Don't get addicted to sajha.com. And hope that your significant other is not so demanding about your time. You need to bury yourself into the books and of course there is extensive "clinicals", i.e practicals at the hospitals and nursing homes.

Secondly, nursing course is not like your other regular college courses namely liberal arts courses. Nursing course schedule is rigid. Apart from the prerequisites, you don't have electives. And you don't get to pick your classes or class schedules.

You need to pass each semester to move on to the next semester. You can't fail one semester and still go on to the next and then come back to redo the one you failed. If you fail one semester you have to either start from the beginning or wait one whole year before you can restart with the one you failed.

And finally the NCLEX exams. Saying those exams are tough would be an understatement. In plain words, you get multiple choice questions but you have to choose the best right answer among all the right answers. Or there are questions that have more than one right answer and you have to pick them all. Not like your multiple choice questions from American history class.

So, azn, if you are ready to bargain for all these, then nursing is for you. And of course, AFTER you get licenced, be ready to work 12 hour shifts or even longer shifts. And also remember, within the nursing community they say that nurses eat their young.

As for me, I am not a nurse. I tried nursing but I also had to work hard to make a living AND pay for the nursing school. It took its toll on my studies and I failed to make it. I hope you have better luck.

 

 

 

LOL NAs, you're so extra, your COOL =))
thank jjuu lamak and jharkopaat. <3 =)

Very nice jharekopaat... "nurses eats their young"....I have heard that a lot..... been lucky in my case...

Nursing is hard "period"
it aint easy for sure. you can do it but it drains you out a lot. lots of work. I have couple of friends who got kicked out of nursing program because they did not maintain there GPA at certain level. It's tough, but also depends upon where you go to school.

OKAY im not becoming a nurse if it's hard, but there ARE certain levels of nurses and some are easier to become i heard?
but yeah flight attendant sounds GOOD, i've always wanted to be. =)

Nursing is hard for a reason. It is a profession where your tiny mistake could mean life or death for a patient. That is why the examiners have to be so tough on the students I guess.

true true. everything is hard for a reason. =)

Don't say that, I have a very dirty mind.

grammatical error dude...hot nurses give you hard on....

jhareko, then thats even better, 'dirty minds' are fun to be honest. :)

hey aznshawty  , nursing is mostly a girls field... i dont think u will have good time being a HE- nurse..

unless u are really gay. ;)

oh get lost you retarded boy, you always bring up the gay subject, you're friggin obsessed, i don't care what you think of me, get a life. bye bye retard :)

Nurses are handy! they bring breakfast to bed.
