Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the good advice. Emergent, this is a new school in the district so I'm not replacing someone who left. I think I'll go ahead and try it. There are a lot of schools in the district so she probably won't be able ...
I've been offered a school nurse job starting next school year. I met the head nurse over the whole district recently at an event and boy-oh-boy is she a crabby lady. She was so unhappy about everything going on that day. Little things like she wa...
I guess I'm the oddball. My school is not like that at all. I was expecting it to be, though. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that we are all treated with a very high level of respect. Sure, there is a lot of work, a lot of stuff to do, a ...

It all depends on where you live. I'm in the S. East and if you are an RN here you can pretty much choose where and when you work. The "nursing shortage" is alive and well here which makes it easy to choose your shift!

I've had that schedule too! Crazy! What is perplexing me this semester (first semester of nursing school) is that I'm in lab from 8-2 one day per week and get one (1!) credit for it!? And I am in another class called "nursing applications" for wel...
In my area, an ADN RN will be easily hired and is qualified for management positions. In my town, we have one CC and one university. The graduates from the CC are in demand over the university students for some reason....? The hospitals don't care...

I agree with MN-Nurse. You may hear that 75 or whatever is passing and will get you out of the class, but you need to work for all A's to have a good shot at getting accepted into a nursing program. Seriously..."Do whatever you have to do to get A'...
No one, nurses included, likes cleaning up poop. But fortunately lots of people, you included, can get used to it so it doesn't seem so bad. We all (even nurses) are opposed to things like poop because that is how we naturally keep ourselves safe. ...

I took College Algebra in an online 8-week course last year. That thing was hard! I worked by tail off and ended up with a B. I know I would have done better had I been in a classroom with a teacher explaining everything and moving slower. That c...

I was a stay at home mom for 16 years (still am) and went back to school one year ago. I was scared! But I have totally rocked! My GPA is 3.85. Just decide to succeed and you will!

The original post is almost 4 years old, but I just have to post. Don't put your hope in karma. There is no such thing as karma, so why would you "believe" in it? Put your hope in Jesus and he will bless you! Jesus is real. He will bless you bey...
Firework. Katy Perry. "Cause baby you're a firework Come on show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y Baby you're a firework Come on let your colors burst Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!" You're gonna leave 'em al...

I think everyone has the right to major in anything they want for ANY reason they want. If she wants a nursing degree but never plans on using it, she has that right. She's using it for a stepping stone, not an endpoint. I don't think there's anyt...
