I second what Ashley said above. I just graduated in May, but I started out my very first semester by finding who the "oncology teacher" was in the program. I met with her to discuss wha opportunites...

Well I'm not in the Chicago area (Texas) but I did get hired onto an oncology floor as a new grad and I start Monday. I have actually precepted on this floor my last semester, so I kind of know...

My sister has one DWI on her record and although she was told by the nursing board of our state that they would allow her to be licensed as long as she satisfied her school requirements, she didn't...

OK, I just looked at TWU (I just graduated from nursing school there, so I know where EVERYTHING is on their website) and for the 2012-2013 period, they say the minimal score they would accept would...

Please, please, please see a mental health professional. What you are describing is how I felt when I was going through depression and I had a GREAT job at the time and couldn't see it for the...

@hockeynpolo - I am currently a graduating BSN student as well as a PCA at Parkland and have applied for the internship. Are you still at Parkland? Also does it help to mention in the interview that...

Nope, not a problem. The only thing you might have to disclose to the Board of Nursing of your state is if you are on any psychotropic drugs. Most drugs for depression and anxiety don't fall in that...

Well said MN-nurse. I totally agree.

I've been in my program for the last 3 semesters and I have a 7 yo son and a husband. I don't know if you could actually pull off those hours of work. In my program our clinical days start at 6:30...

@Alpine Hiker - I walked into my first pre-req class for my nursing degreed (I already have an MBA so I've been down this road before too) and I didn't feel any different than I did the first. I'm...

Well, I will be 42 this year and I am 3 semesters into a 4 semester program. Yikes, I won't lie and tell you that it's easy 'cause it isn't. I have a 7 yo son and he and my husband spend "quality...

Short and sweet "personal reasons" says everything it needs to. Besides if you lie, someone is bound to say something after you leave that you had another offer.

So far, so good. I'm 41 now and I've been through one year of the BSN program and am loving it. Am I making all A's like I did before, NO, but am I enjoying what I'm doing and what I'm learning, YES....

My 2 cents... stay put. Take it from someone who had to leave a place of employment with 2 hours notice on what is called a "constructive discharge", which is a legal term meaning that any reasonable...

Well I'm still just a nursing student but one of my clinicals for this last semester was at a specialty hospital where they treat a lot of wounds, many of which are MRSA positive. It was amazing...

Fribblet, can you expand on what's false about that statement? Have I been given incorrect information?

OK, here's my 2 cents worth. I'm looking at the same opportunity as the OP, but one thing we all have to remember is that come 2015, the only way you will be able to become an "NP" of any kind is to...

hey everyone, http://nursingworld.org/functionalme...-congress.aspx i just read this article about the legislation being entered into congress concerning nurse to patient ratios and at the...

Hey everyone, http://nursingworld.org/FunctionalMenuCategories/MediaResources/PressReleases/2010-PR/RN-Safe-Staffing-Bill-Introduced-in-Congress.aspx I just read this article about the...

OMG, I am so going to print out this thread. :) I am a second career nursing student. I will say that I am not coming into this profession without being highly educated and maybe that is the reason...

This is the second time today that I've heard a nurse say she loves her job (ok, so there's 20 of you on this post saying the same thing) and I am so glad to hear it. I met a nurse at the mall today...

I don't have a whole lot of business jumping in on this thread seeing that I won't graduate for another 2 years, but I have to say that after reading threads like this over the past 6 months has me a...

Hello all, I am currently a NS in Texas and am in my first semester. I am doing reasonably well with the first 8 weeks of classes under my belt. But I'm not happy with my test scores/grades (yes, I'm...

If you're like me you probably won't qualify for any aid that's GIVEN to you. What you might want to do is request financial aid in the form of school loans. No it's not exactly what you want to do,...
