I am not sure but if you contact some of the nursing schools in your are they can most likely send you a brochure.  And if your interest takes you out of the country, make sure your passport is up-to-date and before you go research some more to see what is out their for you, be blessed in your search

Someone telling you the answer is no substitute for finding out yourself.  Which year of your nurse training are you in?  It's inconceivable that no anatomy and physiology lectures are included in your training - they should be, and if they are not then you should ask why.  How can nurses possible hope to look after ill patients if you have no idea of how the human body functions?  For example where would you find the 'Islets of Langerhan' and what is their function.  What is the 'Bundle of His' and why do people with cirrhosis of the liver bleed from their stomach?  No I'm not a doctor - this was part of my nurse training.  Anyway my suggestion to you is to buy yourself a basic anatomy and physiology book from Blackwells, you'll find it fascinating reading.  Good luck with your training.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, as that isn't a full sentence--but I will try to give some input.  \n\nJust the other day on the news they were discussing the current crisis in the medical field because of the drastic shortage of Nurses.  One hospital personnel director said she could easily hire 100 nurses for their hospital alone, because they were so short.  Nurses are feeling the strain of this by having to cover more patients then what they should.  This passes a danger on to the patients that they are not getting the full attention that they should.\n\nFurther complicating this situation is that there aren't enough Professors of Nursing available, because the colleges cannot pay comparable wages to what the hospitals supposedly can--to be able to teach the number of students wanting to go to Nursing School. It is a terrible situation and with the impending threat of Bird Flu, I fear that the medical world is going to be knocked on it's bottom.  I only wish I could have finished my BSN.  Hope that helps with what you were asking.  GL

Well, I know someone extremely close to me that is going to college to become a nurse. Evidently, since you are smart enough to get on Yahoo answers, and ask a question, you can be a nurse. You are smart enough, apply for a pell grant so you don't have to pay for helping people. Don't worry, the doctor you work for will still have enough money to buy an available island of his choice.

For nursing student, look for care partner jobs or Nurse assistant, it is just like CNA but not the title of a CNA . Look also in Nursing student internship and externship, externship pays you while internship don't don't pays you. Look in city for nursing student program.

First of all become a legal citizen. Then you can go to a local hosptial and find out what you can do from there. \n\nI'm going to school to be an RN. I really admire people who are willing to make a difference. Hope everything works out for you!\n\nGood luck!

Just check the nursing school and you also can probably get a regular school loan

It's hard to get into Nursing schools ANYWHERE because, even though there is a need for more nurses, there are also standards for the field to consider:\n\n1. The entry requirements are national, with only a few variations from college to college.  Those are not negotiable because of field expectations.  If you screw off in class and don't perform up to expectations, they will assume that is how you will perform on a ward.  In matters of life and death, they do not want to gamble.\n\n2. Because a Nursing degree practically means job security and higher than average pay, MANY people want to become nurses!  Also consider that a quality education - just as serious as the entry requirements - means that the scale of the program has population limits.  That means competition!  Sorry, but rumors that higher education is communist are BOGUS.  If you don't work hard, the hard workers will eat your lunch.  Good luck!\n\nIf you screwed off and have a lower GPA, your best bet is to transfer - but only after you have confirmed that your old GPA will not follow and haunt you.  Even in that situation you will still need to prove your academic ability and resolve, but someone somewhere will eventually accept you if you are able and determined to become a nurse.\n\nI advised nursing students for three years now and I feel the pain of defeat from my students on a regular basis because less than half actually make it in from the pre-nursing program.\n\nThat said, work hard and good luck!

I have seen ads in my local paper for hospitals willing to pay tuition.  Nursing is a critical shortage in almost every state.  Do some research and see if you have a local hospital that is willing to pay for your education in exchange for your loyalty when you graduate.

I'm a RN in a Large Medical Center, I would be most willing to help you.  I know we don't them Wards but Units but it really may be the type of hospital. So what ever you need help with just ask, I have no problems with helping someone with medical stuff-HotBurnNurse

I have a fellow nursing student that just transfered from a small campus. She loved it because of the atmosphere. You feel like you're a part of the campus and culture because you get to know a greater percentage of the students. She got to know nearly all the FT professors at some point, constantly ran into students she knew, and felt at home there. The problem with the school we are at now...you can literally walk by thousands of people and not bump into a familiar place. It feels like a zoo and you don't fee like you are part of a campus community.

There are Federal loans, such as the Stafford, that tend to be lenient.  Sit down with one of your school's financial advisors/counselors and discuss this.  Federal loans don't cover the entire tuition if your school is a proprietary school (tuition starts at 24,000 and higher), but they  may accept payments.   If you've got the GPA, look into nurse-specific grants and scholarships.  I'm a nurse and this is what I did.  The only other thing I can think of is to find out from your bank if they offer student loans for folks with "iffy" credit.  Having nursing as a goal may make you a better risk.  Of course, now you're obligated to pass boards!  Yikes!

Does being a knowledgable Registered Nurse count?  I'd be glad to TRY to at least turn you in the right direction.....
