   A&P I, lab, college algebra, computer science, english I, and some cheesey college experience class. This is my first semester but I hope to start clinicals in the Fall 2014! I will be taking full loads every semester including summer.

4. No work experience since 2010

   Smiley06 replied to Nonetheless's topic in Job Hunt

   I agree I think that the volunteer work would look good on a resume. Managers know how hard nursing school is and that you must focus on your studies. Some people can work full time and some can't. I volunteered at hospitals too and I love the flexib...

5. Computer Class : Windows 7?

   Smiley06 replied to halfglassfull's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Since you are done with your pre-req are you allowed to sit out until your clinicals start? I am just asking because I hear a lot of posters in your situation. At my school if you start out as a freshman whenever you met the requirements to start cli...

9. ADN's being pushed out

   Smiley06 replied to MSN Student's topic in ADN/BSN

   [COLOR=#003366]PMFB-RN http://www.aacn.nche.edu/media-relations/fact-sheets/impact-of-education here is one of the many studies that suggest this. You can look up the rest. It is not a biased opinion! And many hospitals are trying to become magnet ...

10. Nursing job - Reposted over and over in the same month?

    Smiley06 replied to nurse1111's topic in Career Support

    From what I take from your post I would say that I would not assume that you are out of the running. I would think that the hospital just posted more position because they need more people. If I were you I would apply for all the positions! If you do...

11. I made the wrong choice...

    Smiley06 replied to nanaz25's topic in ADN/BSN

    With the nursing surplus you must always stay competitive.Like with any other job nursing is a competitive field. Have you consideredgetting certifications in PALS, ACLS etc. Maybe you should try volunteering.That is a great way to network and meet p...

12. ADN's being pushed out

    Smiley06 replied to MSN Student's topic in ADN/BSN

    I don't understand why ADNs get so upset because they think that BSN grads belittle them but in the same breathe belittle the BSN by stating that BSN grads are ill prepared and don't have clinical experience. Aren't you doing the same thing that you ...

    Smiley06 replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of six figure debt just from one BSN degree.

15. Is there such a thing?

    Smiley06 replied to OCRN3's topic in General Nursing

    It's like with any job. You must prove that you are leader and have people skills. Like you said many people just want to be floor nurses. So there is room for some advancement but you may have to look at other facilities because once people go into ...
