  1. Issue with nursing classmate

    I had a very similar situation in school. I simply stopped helping the person. I wish I'd done it sooner, because it took a lot of my time and effort to try and meet the person's expectations of all the free help they thought they were entitled to fr...
  2. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

    What this boils down to is that you're behaving like an entitled, self-righteous blowhard, people don't like you because of it and are treating you accordingly, but now you're whining and playing victim. Nothing illegal is going on from what you desc...
  3. New RN's do you have a job yet?

    I don't have the deals finalized in writing but I have a few very strong job possibilities. I can't take NCLEX until at least the second half of June, so signing on for a job is still premature for me.
  4. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

    Respect is earned in nursing. Former degrees are worth pretty much nothing in nursing school besides having transfer credits. Study hard, come prepared to clinical and work hard, and follow the rules. Then you might start feeling some respect being g...
  5. I already had a BA when I applied to my local CC. I was not eligible for any financial aid, they even told me when I turned in the application "don't bother applying for aid, you can't get anything". Well I'd saved money for years, and that's what I ...
  6. Financial Aid for 2nd Degree / Career change

    I'm a second-degree student too. I simply saved money to pay for tuition in full, and found the least expensive program in my area. I took pre-requisites at community college. I disagree with the other posters who think student loans are a better ide...
  7. I just failed nursing school

    Talk to the academic advisor of the nursing program and find out what your options are. You may be able to re-take the class and still graduate, just a semester or two later than you were planning on graduating. Focus and pass the Mental Health class...
  8. Or work to serve your community, state, country, and planet. Work to the best of your ability, and never less than your full potential in life. Always behave professionally and show respect for others. I would assume what I said would produce the sam...
  9. "I've observed that there's such a huge difference between nurses who incorporate their faith into their nursing job compared to others who do not." Uhh... I've never seen a difference in nursing that's explained by if the nurse is religious or not. ...
  10. So frightened of the dire job market

    By the time you finish nursing school and take NCLEX, the job market will be different from what it is today. No college major is ever a guarantee of a job, so look at this as taking a gamble no matter what. If you've got a friend of family member wo...
  11. no job after two years

    It's most likely your age. In the past few years of hard economic times, this has been happening in every field, that it's hard to find something if you are over 50. Keep applying and see what happens, but you'd also be wise to try to plan financiall...
  12. Absolutely not. None of us went to school to be a tech or an aide. From my previous career in human resources, I know that when people apply to jobs that are explicitly below their education and credential level, it screams "I'm desperate and not con...
  13. Student Loans without a Cosigner

    Sure they do, the bank just calls up the company and asks for the human resources department to verify your dates of employment.
  14. ENCOURAGEMENT...CNA before nursing school??

    You definitely do not need to be a CNA to do well in nursing school. We only had one or two CNA's in my class of 60+, and all the non-CNA students did just fine. CNA is a low-skilled job with a narrow scope of practice, and you will learn everything ...
  15. Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    Also - 1. Not following the attendance policy. If your school handbook says that X number of missed clinicals or lectures results in an automatic failure, that's not a joke no matter how good you think your excuses were. 2. Biting off more than one c...
