Nursing program...how's it like?


How are the two years of the program like? Any advices, or tips you may give would be helpful.
Is there anythin I should stay away from?
Also, what are the cleanest, more interesting fields in nursing?

First, the nursing programs are generally very competitive, and the ability to present your verbal and written communications gramatically would be of great benefit. Secondly, there are very few fields in health care in general, and nursing specifically which are free from some form of contamination, from blood, body fluids or human waste products. A previous responder has mentioned two positions which are reasonably free from the contamination. However, nurse managers, and telephone triage nurses are usually very experienced nurses, and not novice nurses directly from an ADN program.

You may want to consider a career in a field which does not expose you to body fluids and waste, or outside health care completely.

Get over yourself. There are BM's and icky stuff in every area of nursing. If you don't like the icky stuff, be an accountant or something else. I hate when I see people who are obviosly getting in to nursing for the job security like you.

The only "clean" nursing job I can think of is being a nurse manager or answering a question hotline (like a telemarketer, only they call you) for an insurance company or some hospitals have "nurses on call" to answer questions over the phone. You best look for a new career because you'll have to work your way to the top to be a nurse manager, dealing with blood, vomit, sputum & BM on the way. The other two jobs I just mentioned won't pay very well.
