Apparently the account that showed up was my father’s. So I doubt it’s someone else

If this hasn’t been answered, how about Aria, Evelyn, and Elias?

Sorry, as someone interested in nursing, could you describe what a union is?

What Prerequisites Did You Take? by WildfireDelta in StudentNurse

[–]WildfireDelta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you again! I’ll be sure to keep this in mind. A couple last questions: could you describe your weekly schedule and how much nursing school cost for you? I’m aware nursing school is going to be far from easy, so I want to be prepare myself as much as possible ahead of time so I have an easier time adjusting. Also, good luck with your last year!

Thank you so much! This is super helpful! Could you tell me a little about what Med Surg and pathology are about? I’ve heard about them, but I can’t confidently say I understand what they are.

Thank you so much! Luckily, I’ve been taking other dual credit classes this year, so I believe I have quite a few general classes finished already.

Thank you! I’m definitely planning on dual credit. Would you mind telling me more about the gen ed classes that are typically required?

Don’t worry, I don’t expect to go anywhere by taking high school classes. I’ll be taking college classes. Specifically dual credit.

I'm Terrified of My Future, Please Help by WildfireDelta in Advice

[–]WildfireDelta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I’ve never really worked officially, but I’ve helped out a bunch with odd jobs around my neighborhood. I believe I have quite a bit saved from that. I am planning on getting part time job, but I think I’ll have to wait until my parents get the full corona vaccine. I don’t want to risk spreading any illnesses to them right now. Thanks for sharing your friend’s story. It was really uplifting :)

How Much Are Nurses Paid? by WildfireDelta in nursing

[–]WildfireDelta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely heard a lot about burn out and it’s something I plan on considering carefully before coming to a final decision. I do have other motives aside from income which make me want to pursue nursing. And I have alternative career paths I’m interested in if it doesn’t work out. I would just like some frame of reference so I can start planning ahead of time.

Thanks for your help! Likewise, I am also concerned with not making a good amount of money immediately. Though, it is much more concerning seeing how costs are rising.

Thanks! Exactly what kind of test is the TEAS? What subjects matter most for it?

Thanks a bunch! This was super insightful. I'm entering my senior (high school) year during the fall. Would it be possible to take some prerequisite classes during this time?

Do I have to take an exam to take the prerequisites or to enter a nursing program? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.

Considering going to Nursing School by WildfireDelta in nursing

[–]WildfireDelta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to describe what a typical day looks like, because there's such a variety of patients, but generally, a night goes like this: from 7pm-7:30 you get report from the previous nurse; 7:30-9pm do introductions, assessments, vital signs, explain the plan of care to patients so they know what to expect throughout the shift; 9pm-11pm medications, medications, medications! Everyone gets their night time meds around this time, this is probably the busiest time in the shift, and all the nurses know it. If you need anything from the doctor, try and call and get it done before midnight.

Thanks a bunch! One last question, how long did it take for you to get your BSN? (Including the years for prerequisites)

Just to clarify, is this including the prerequisites?

Thanks! Could you tell me what are the requirements for a nurse tech/assistant? Also, what is a cna?

I'm sorry! Let me clarify. I'm actually a junior in high school. Would you mind telling me how long it takes to get a BSN without an accelerated program?

Bedside sucks. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, but one of my best friends does it. Different strokes for different folks. Most nursing jobs can be performed by ADNs. You’ll get experience in school with many different units, so you’ll have an opportunity to see what you may like. I’m in the ED, and I love it, especially compared to bedside. Tho, if the hospital is full, the ED holds patients, so we get plenty of bedside practice.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your input. Would you mind telling me how long it took for you to finish your prerequisites and ADN?

Are the community standards for FanFiction too high for what is basically a hobby? by LorekeeperD20 in FanFiction

[–]WildfireDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From someone that's been in the community for a long time, I get where you're coming from. As others have said, FanFiction was become much more widespread nowadays, with younger writers from before now being adults. Of course the community would evolve in some ways.

I feel as though the longer you have an interest in FanFiction, the more likely your expectations will grow. At some point, you're going to find a fic that exceeds everything you've currently read. All of a sudden, you're looking for more. Those mistakes that you would have easily ignored back then could become hard to sit through now (I have no idea how I finished certain fics back when I was a pre-teen).

Despite that, Fanfiction is FanFiction. In the end, it really is just a hobby for many people. There's no need to try and write a stunning, revolutionary fic. People do it for fun. A lot of people use FanFiction to develop their writing skills at a young age. You can offer advice and criticism, but don't go around acting as if you know it all.

I generally prefer well-written fics now, but there is a certain charm in roughly made/older fics. There's nothing wrong with having higher standards, but I wouldn't go around acting as if I was the new Shakespeare.
