  1. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    That's very true..but I don't see it happening anytime soon as it is all about the $$$ over here in the USA. They could care less about the repercussions..apparently.
  2. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    I don't think you're an evil foreigner and I don't have anything against foreigners. I understand where you are coming from. My main idea is: Our economy is in absolute shambles. We should take care of our citizens first. We *should* favor U.S. gradu...
  3. How well do you get along with your coworkers?

    Unfortunately, what you're going through is quite common. While I truly feel that everything is a team effort, there is something lacking in health care...respect for authority. She reports to YOU. I have seen MANY aides blatantly disregard a nurse, ...
  4. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    tothepoint- I think they're just upset. We live in the USA. We are citizens. Yet we watch foreigners replace us DAILY in the workplace. What country do you know of that will hire us over their own citizens? Let us know and perhaps we can all move th...
  5. Teacher falsley accused me

    Kathy, true and fair enough. It just wasn't that way for my program. I am already aware of some people needing special considerations and how that can be for them. There is a girl in our program who is always late and absent. The students gripe about...

  7. Is it really impossible for new grad LPNs to find employment in NYC?

    How long have you been looking, gifted? I'm actually asking for a friend.
  8. What is the outlook for new grad LPNs in NYC? I heard that LPNs are being phased out. If a new grad LPN is 100% flexible to scheduling and where they work, does that even help...or are things so bad that it's a slim shot to begin with? I have heard o...
  9. Failed Nursing. LPN or keep trying to get back into RN?

    Nursing is extremely competitive..esp. with the economy the way it is now. It is up to you if you want to continue to try again. However, I would reassess finances, budget, and time, if I were you. See what you are able to afford & whether or not...
  10. Teacher falsley accused me

    True, the OP has to make sure to keep themself out of the spotlight and follow all rules, but racism IS a HUGE deal. It shouldn't be brushed under the rug just because it's considered "reverse" racism. My friend is white and is being harassed/abused ...
  11. Is nursing really THAT bad?

    Well I'm not going to throw a bunch of sugar down your drawers. YES, it IS that bad. Everything you hear is ONLY a fraction of what you will see and experience. The trade off is if you're passionate about the profession. Otherwise, run the other way ...
  12. Excelsior Nurses Deserve Universal Acceptance

    Keep us updated Twilight. Thanks for the info, as I was considering EC for my BSN. I wonder if EC (ADN) can transfer to a brick/mortar state college or something of the likes...? Everyone seems to be going for Chamberlain. I'm looking into NJ & ...
  13. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    I would love the starched/bleached all-white uniforms as well...perhaps even a cap..but I'm not sure that will ever happen. I thought that was a classy look.
  14. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    Hi Lunah, Can I ask why you decided on Chamberlain? Were you accepted to any other BSN programs? If so, what made you go with Chamberlain? :)
