Unfortunately, she had a hard time deciding which colleges to apply for. “It wasn’t so much where I wanted to go, but discovering which colleges really fit me and my preferences,” she said. When finally choosing her college, a lot of people asked why she chose Washington State University rather than University of Washington. UW was much closer to home and both colleges provided good nursing programs. Her response to these remarks were, “When you are young, you want to be more independent and away from home, so I decided to apply to WSU instead of UW.” Gigi never did regret choosing WSU over UW, “My college life got me to where I am today, so I’m thankful.” she…
Once upon a time there was a nursing student named Jensen Richards. Jensen had always had a passion for nursing and compassion for people. This compassion only grew stronger once she was old enough to work in a nursing home as a CNA. Going to Oshkosh for nursing seemed to be an easy choice for Jensen; it was the only school on her mind. Her parents both attended Oshkosh and it was the perfect distance from home. Jensen knew that she would have to work really hard in college because the average GPA for nursing students was higher than she had received in high school. Ready to take on the challenge, Jensen changed her study habits. Although there are many nursing schools in Wisconsin, Oshkosh is one of the best schools in the state. There…
In order to be a registered nurse you must obtain a license through the NCLEX-RN licensure examination. The opportunity to take this exam is to be from an accredited program, wither it be a diploma in nursing, an Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN), or a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN). The ADN program typically requires about two to three years of nursing school and focuses more on tasks and clinical skills. The BSN program is roughly four years and focuses not only on tasks and clinical skills but also focuses on knowledge, theory and research. The BSN is deemed to encompass what nursing is all…

I understand your view but I don’t think it is realistic. In many states, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) work under a physician. As far as these specialties go, I don't see NPs getting paid the same as doctors for a few reasons. First, there are few specialty NPs versus primary care NPs not to mention even fewer those who are doing their own practice independently. Second, doctors have more knowledge than a nurse practitioner and although as NPs we run into more and more complex issues where we do not have enough knowledge to solve. And lastly, in primary care clinic, doesn’t a medical assistant do the same job as a nurse? However, because the nurse goes to more extent schooling, would it be fair to pay them the same salary? Because of doctors ‘extensive…

I want to go into the pediatric nursing field for many reasons. I really enjoy working with kids especially little children. Volunteering at a saturday school with 4-5 year olds I became very good and comforting a child when sad or lonely. I work well with little children and enjoy being with them. I also want to go into nursing because every time I go to the doctors I always feel as if the nurses there do not enjoy their job. Which is probably wrong but they just always seem so monotone. I am half japanese so every summer when I go over to Japan and need to go to the doctors, the nurses there are always smiling trying to ease the tension between the child and the nurse themselves and that is the kind of nurse I want to be. I want to be a nurse like that in America to show people how much of a difference it could make and could lead to less fear of the doctors office. I see…

When I was young, I already know what I wanted to be when I grow up, and that is to become a Pediatrician. The reason why I wanted to become a Pediatrician was because my younger brother has a weaker immune system than I have, and he gets sick easily than I do. Growing up in a poor family, I noticed that getting quality care or immediate health attention for the rest of my family, my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins was impossible. That’s when I decided to change my career goal, and that is to be a Nurse Practitioner. The reason why I wanted to become a Nurse Practitioner is because the quality of my care for my whole family will be greater and convenient will be convenient for them, and I will be the very first person in the family who’ll pursue for a higher educational attainment.…
Nursing college, is for me, the way to reach the American dream. Since I started the college, the only thing that I had very clear in my mind was my general expectation, become in a nurse. Therefore, I had not a detailed idea about the specific issues, that is why, is so difficult for me to make a comparison between before and after I start college. I only was very sure, that I wanted to study nursing career.…

Life tends to get better with age, although this is not the case when it comes to paying for the cost of healthcare. An increase in life expectancy, prescription drug costs and medical insurance work together to push the average cost of healthcare to the point where it quickly becomes a financial burden for many retirees. Fidelity Investments estimates that a retired couple, both age 65, can expect to spend $245,000 on their healthcare needs during their retirement.…
