1. Thinking about quitting

   JimJ replied to snider1970's topic in New Nurse

   I work (on the business side) of a nonprofit which has a large contingent of home-visiting nurses. All the job postings for those are BSN, ADN with a BA/BS, or ADN with 2+ years experience. Seems more than reasonable, and if I can get into an evening...

2. Terminated after 2 months

   JimJ replied to LadyNikki's topic in Relations

   My last position - and the one that more or less convinced me that the corporate life was for the birds - was a "new position". Which was great, until my boss moved to Florida and the new COO didn't like that he inherited me. Laid off two months late...

3. What NC nursing school did you choose and why?

   JimJ replied to bekahinpink's topic in North Carolina

   Somewhat of an older thread, but for any ACC grads or students out there, how was your admissions process? They're first on my list (and so far, the only) for having an evening ADN program, but I'm wondering what your entrance scores/GPA was like to ...

6. Fixing past mistakes...

   JimJ replied to JimJ's topic in Pre-Nursing

   But if they're too old to use as pre-reqs, they wouldn't be factored in, right? Other than counting in my degree's GPA. I have a few friends who are RNs, but they came from different career backgrounds than I did. I'd really be interested in hearing ...

7. Fixing past mistakes...

   JimJ posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi all! Little about me - I'm sure this is a story you've heard before. I'm 28, went through undergrad on a business/engineering track, but I'm realizing I'd much rather work with a more one-on-one dynamic than being in a boardroom or on a conference...
