I'm a first year science student, but I've been thinking about transferring into nursing next year. I've always wanted to work in a health-related environment where I can help people improve their lives, so med school was my goal when I entered university. But after many seminars and career fairs, I found myself more interested in nursing, as doctors bare way more responsibilities (not saying nurses don't), and I usually like being the underdog because I don't like the spotlight. However a few friends told me that being a nurse is like cleaning up after a baby for life? I certainly don't care if I had to clean up after patients once in a while, but I'm not sure if that's what I want to do everyday every minute in my life. Can of the RNs out there describe what's like being a nurse? Also what sorts of specialties are there? Thanks!

Hi!
I have just signed up for my CNA's course and am hoping to start working next spring some time. After spending time with family (grandparents and such) in retirement homes, assisted living, and nursing homes, I really have no desire to work in them...however after spending weeks with an ill mother in a hospital, I would like to work in a hospital setting...
Some people have "eluded" to the fact that it's hard to get a hospital job right out of certification...is this the case? Or can I go right to hospitals and apply? Or do I need the nursing home or assisted living experience first?
Please, don't answer if you don't know.
Any CNA's opinions would be great!
Thanks!

I've tried searching online, but didn't come up with anything substantial. I did pre-med as an undergrad, including a few interships where I got to ride around on the ambulances. How does a person become an EMT? What kind of degree does it require? Besides pay, is there a difference between volunteer EMT and career EMT? Is there such thing as a part-time paid EMT?

I just graduated from college and was hired for a good company. I have been there 5 days. the benefits are good, but for upward mobility i would have to get a masters in social work. two days after i am working, i get a letter from the county to work for them. county has way better benefits and you can definitely go up the ladder. is it rude to dump the first job out of college to get the county job? i do not want to be rude, but eventually that is the job that offers the most stability.

Can you get your BSN from going right into a program for that right out of college? Also, how long would it take to get this degree if I go to college for nursing right away after high school?

Thankyou!

I've worked in several stores since I was 16 but now I want something that pays a little more. 8 dollars is minimum wage here in canada. I'm looking for something over 10 dollars. Maybe 15? I'm currently changing programs in college so I don't think I can actually find work using my education. I'm transfering to a nutrition program at another university.

Anyways, I need work!
What kind of positions should I search for that would suit my age and salary expectations? Office work? A store manager? What else? Maybe something in the health care industry?
