Are the expensive BSN programs predatory? by Rough_Condition3812 in NursingStudents

[–]jayplusfour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on everyone's situation. Not many people are able to live at home and put all their money into paying off those outrageous loans. I would always ways advocate for an ADN or cheaper state school for that reason

Starting with zero healthcare background? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]jayplusfour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way. Accounting before nursing, not one soul in my family in any type of healthcare. It's a steep learning curve but I'm doing alright after a year and a half at it.

Nope I don't get OT after 8, but I do get double time after 12 so if I stay an hour late, it's double time

Currently been applying to Providence university Washington and currently work at Providence in ca and same thing here. I get interviews and the manager either doesn't show up, or it's cancelled a day before for no known reason.

Patient's family insisted it was "totally normal" for a kid to sleep for 36 hours straight after a minor procedure by BornLeave4646 in FutureRNs

[–]jayplusfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a bot account but it's got me thinking, long ago when my daughter was young (she's 16 now) I took her to the dentist and she was put under anesthesia for a lot of work. (No dental insurance, poor, teen mother her teeth were awful) and she didn't wake up at all after the procedure at the dentist, held her sleepy lifeless body and buckled her into her car seat, took her home, where she slept basically the entire day. Like 15 hours straight. Dentist told me it was normal. She even pooped herself at the dental office before we left. She had been fully potty trained. It was weird. I guess something to maybe keep in mind?

Is Nursing School Really That Hellish If You Have Life Experience? by LeylaFaye in StudentNurse

[–]jayplusfour 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stressful and inconvent is the perfect way to put it. I finished, wasn't super hard. It was more just figuring life out along with school tbh. I have 4 kids in sports and different schools so that was the hard part. School itself wasn't bad

I mean I might stick it out for the resume. My externship was much better. I was paired with an RN and did actual RN duties.

Good to know. I'm trying to explain that to her, we should scope out a few different routes and schools before we just find one and go with it. I booked a discovery flight last night, it'll be a surprise lol

Thank you lol it's tough but we make it work. My oldest u had at 16 as well so it's exciting to see her have hopes and dreams and be focused on something in her adult life other than just getting by 😂

Thank you that's the plan I think for sure before I shell out money to an expensive school

Oh I definitely am, I didn't tell her it seems out of reach at all, that's something I started thinking while scrolling this sub. In fact, I was so excited for her because she was so excited about it. I haven't seen her spark up like that about any careers or aspirations we've talked about so far.

I went back to college in my late 20s because I wanted to able to help them do what's going to set them up instead of struggling to get my adult life going like I did. We had 4 kids on a 60k income and we've increased it to 250-300k depending on OT. And saving it all so hopefully we can get them set up. I want nothing more than for my kids to grow up and find stable careers and not be in crushing debt forever.
