1. What to do?? A whole BOX of crazy!!!

   prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

   I agree 100%! I started my job when I began NUR101 and thought it would be great because it was sort of like a CNA position. I felt the wage was decent compared to the $10-12/hr CNAs usually make in my area. Now she's requesting me to do nursing duti...

2. What to do?? A whole BOX of crazy!!!

   prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you! You're right, I don't owe her any explanation and I haven't trusted her for a long time. My only concern would be the orientation phase because a lot of places do it in the morning/early afternoons instead of weekends or during 11-7 (the s...

   prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the advice! I spoke to the DON of a company I'm interested in today and she sounded very enthusiastic about taking me in as a new grad to mold me as a new nurse. I'm going to go in tomorrow to fill out an application and see if she's avail...

   Hi! Yes, this is an actual position. She handles the budgets/hiring/firing/training/ect for families on a self-directed waiver for disabled individuals through state funding.

5. What to do?? A whole BOX of crazy!!!

   prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

   I did call the labor board today and spoke with this very nice lady who is looking into what I can do. She said she has to research it more since I don't want to file a formal complaint yet and requested I call her back within the next few days. I'm...

6. 2 full-time jobs?

   prettywishes replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

   I would speak to your school's financial aid office and explain what's going on to them. There may be grants and/or scholarships you can receive. I'd also reach out to hospitals and other employers. There were a few of my classmates who received ful...

   prettywishes posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey there! I'm reaching out to my fellow nurses for some much needed advise, and appreciate any and all responses. Sorry for the long post, there's a whole box of crazy about to open!! I've been with my current employer for a little over a year as a ...

8. Extreme Lack of Communication! Help!

   prettywishes posted a topic in General Students

   Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my post. I'm trying to find some feedback and suggestions on what I should do to solve this ongoing issue. I've been e-mailing my instructor for the last week in regards to getting approval to use two articles for an ...

9. struggling help!!!

   prettywishes replied to young3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm super sorry to hear about your losses, that is hard enough and there really aren't words to describe it. Hang in there!! Maybe you could try a community college or an LPN program instead of a university? For my nursing program, they calculated yo...

11. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response and the congrats! Sometimes I get a gut feeling that it's better to be on my own, just sucks to feel left out. I have noticed a lot of those same things in my cohort. I also know there are eyes and ears everywhere so it's pr...

12. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    Thanks Wuzzie. I'll just think of something else to say when everyone shares what they got rather than a number since it seems to cause so much animosity. It's nice to know how I'm doing compared to the rest of the group, but it seems to backfire. I...

13. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    prettywishes posted a topic in General Students

    I've always been socially awkward and a bit unusual..strange, really. My mom used to tell me that in nursing school people find their best friends and become very tight knit. This hasn't happened for me. I'm now going into my second month and it seem...

14. How to focus on nursing school textbook reading?

    prettywishes replied to slightlycanadian's topic in General Students

    Thank you!!! I was blessed to barely ever have to study outside of class before nursing school, so I was having trouble figuring out how to tackle not only my lack of knowing how to study but fears of failing as a first year student. We have to read ...

15. what colleges with my numbers

    prettywishes replied to kayleepatt's topic in School Programs

    I agree with the previous poster. When I sat with the head of the nursing dept. at my school (not in CA, but still extremely competitive..like over 700 people applied for 48 spots competitive) and she figured my GPA to be a 3.4, I almost cried..I th...
