1. Is my assumption correct??

   Truly_Blessed replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Nursing

   I am going to print out a couple of these responses you guys are giving as they will help me. Nooooo, we don't have a privacy compliance officer. It's not a huge company it's small, locally owned and employs 30 to 45 employees at a time. There is n...

2. Is my assumption correct??

   Truly_Blessed replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Nursing

   I should have clarified what I meant by telling the patient to have their nurse call. A lot of the doctors do want their calls screened.....they only want "emergencies" BUT, how are these operators supposed to know what qualifies as a real emergency?...

3. Is my assumption correct??

   Truly_Blessed posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all :) It's been a very long while since I've posted anything here and I have been a lurker the the past hmmmm, lets say 4 or 5 months. If anyone cares to read a some of my last posts you will see what my situation was and why I still am not a ...

4. NET test good indication of success in nursing school?

   Truly_Blessed replied to NeoNurseTX's topic in General Students

   No, I don't think the NET is any indication of how you'll do in nursing school. The NET is just basic stuff. I scored extremely high, but bombed my first semester of nursing school. So, there ya go.

5. Phi Theta Kappa Membership?

   Truly_Blessed replied to klone's topic in General Students

   The only upside to ours that I see is it being on your transcripts, and you can use it on your resume which looks good. I was sent an invitation to join, which shocked me after last semester...but I didn't join because I couldn't afford the dues. I s...

9. What percent of clinicals spent doing gross stuff?

   Truly_Blessed replied to ER1010's topic in General Students

   Well my clinicals last semester were spent in the nursing home where almost everyone was bowel incontinent and alot of stge III & IV ducubs...so I would say 80% of my time was spent dealing with things that made me cringe. The other 20% I was cha...

10. *Update*Booted on last day of the semester

    Truly_Blessed replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    My reason for going into nursing is not just about money, but at the same time I need a stable job asap. LVN is the quickest way. We do have a few ADN programs here....and i have gotten some of the pre-reqs out of the way, but it would still take me...

11. *Update*Booted on last day of the semester

    Truly_Blessed replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    lol, Yep I was on WIA. They have agreed to keep my case open for a year, but I have to pay fall semester on my own since I didn't pass one class out of 7. Had Bs, As, and one C. This whole bruhaha is over less than half a point. It's mind blowing.

12. *Update*Booted on last day of the semester

    Truly_Blessed replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    No, my tuition was paid in full by another program I was on...WIA. The grant was left for living expenses, so of course I used the money towards bills and what not...that's what I was advised to do. I think the DON kind of took advantage of the state...

    Truly_Blessed replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    lol, I do remember Northern Exposure. I used to watch it all the time. That scholarship is amazing. I got all excited and then I saw that LPN students do not qualify for the scholarship:rolleyes: But, that's a great suggestion for anyone else who is...

14. just when I thought I had saw it all!

    Truly_Blessed replied to kimhaw's topic in General Students

    Heck! I'm desperate enough to consider this! haha. I wouldn't go through w/it though. This is a time when getting a job would do my financial situation more harm than good. Pan handling on ebay is a bit much though. Weird.

15. Final grade disappointment... why can't I let it go???

    Truly_Blessed replied to NewEnglandRN's topic in General Students

    Considering how hard nursing school is, I would say an A- is an outstanding grade! But when you miss your goal buy a few tenths of a point...man that's rough. Can't say I'm an A student, but I got booted out of nursing school for less than half a po...
