1. Fired During Orientation

   studentjoy replied to ellemattie8's topic in Career Support

   This just happened to me! It was pretty tough, but I beleive there is a reason that this all happened. I was surprised because they had two nurses ready to give birth and two others were leaving??? It's like really, "am I THAT bad?" It feels so g...

2. Lost 1st job because "there are things they don't teach in Nursing School"

   studentjoy replied to studentjoy's topic in LPN/LVN

   Thank you for the new perspective. I have some interviews in the next town, but this place has about 15 locations within 20 miles of my house so it stinks. I don't know enough to stand up to people. The support feels very welcome. It really made m...

   studentjoy posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I graduated as an LPN about 3 months ago. I started a full time position in a LTC/Skilled facility. I was given different preceptors and four different units with 20+ on each unit. Had to figure out who had CBG's, insulin's, who slept after breakf...

   studentjoy posted a topic in Career Support

   My nurse trainor at my building came up to me at 9:00AM to tell me I had made "a couple errors" on Friday. She said she could not recall exactly what they were, but I was no longer allowed to pass medications (I should go back to observing) and that...

   studentjoy replied to Lpn2014's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   studentjoy posted a topic in Criminal

   I was hoping someone could help. I offer no excuses for my behavior in the past. I have a record in another state that came up with my FBI fingerprint check. It didn't come up when I applied to Nursing School but another conviction for simple assa...

7. Maryland... MBON

   studentjoy replied to motivatedlilly's topic in Criminal

   Hi Motivated...if your record is expunged, my understanding is even the BON doesn't see it, conversely, it is illegal. I had my record expunged and it doesn't show. Get a copy from the FBI to double check but it shouldn't affect you. If it is expun...

   studentjoy replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

   My thought oin the University making money is a little different. Lets just say you go to Joe's College of Nursing and get your ASN. You worked hard and took alot of courses. Now you want to get a degree at Prestige University. They are not going...

9. Salter School of Nursing Manchester

   studentjoy replied to mlg8's topic in New Hampshire

   I'm starting my LPN now. They are disorganized with paperwork, but Manchester, Southern NH in general has few options without a very long waiting list or a year of prereqs. They will take you and if you put in the effort, it is a good school most o...
