   august_snow replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

   First let me thank you all! I received some WONDERFUL advice on here! I ended up setting up payment plans with both of them. I am going to request from my father's wife that if she cannot come up with proof of paying it off-then I would appreciate ...

2. What was your orientation like?

   august_snow replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

   My orientation was BORING! It was all day and we covered things like the handbook, attendance policy, grading policy, requirements to stay in the program, parking, rules of the campus (i.e. no smoking), we received our books and also went over study...

   august_snow replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

   Um, excuse me, but maybe you need to go back and read my post. I bought the item when I had a job and had no clue that I was going to walk in one day and the company was going to be gone. At the time, it seemed better to hand it to a family member ...

   Ok-I really need to know how this not affects not only getting a job, but my being able to get a license! It is long! I have ALWAYS been careful with my credit. Credit is too picky. Not having any is bad, too much is bad, maxed out cards are bad, pay...

   august_snow replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

   Holy cow! 3 ICU patients is a lot, plus you are barely out of orientation. You are about to work your 5th 12 in a row?! Plus your stress/exhaustion almost created a med error! You need to start screaming at the higher ups that they cannot do this-it ...

    august_snow replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

12. Turned down offer, now change of heart???

    august_snow replied to nurseor's topic in General Nursing

    Very true! If you call & they say, "No"-well then you know and move on. If they say, "Yes"-well then you do a happy dance! If you never call-then you will never know. Good luck and let us know what happens!

    august_snow replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry, I understand you are not trying to start a debate. I can see why the comment would irritate you. Nursing requires so much than a voice, looks and good publicist. This is a profession that needs more public education so there can be more...
