  1. Getting the Foot in the Door

    Elizabeth777 replied to PinkRose34's topic in General Nursing

    If you already have your RN license, you cannot work as a CNA. While I understand your want to"get your foot in the door", I don't think that either of those jobs would help you get into the RN role....

  2. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    Elizabeth777 replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At this point, it's been almost 6 years/10 attempts and you still haven't passed. You either have to go back to nursing school or pick a different career. At some point, enough is enough. Frankly, I'm...

  3. Is Six College Courses Manageable?

    Elizabeth777 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends. Are you talking about general education courses? If so, then possibly, depending on your ability to time manage. I took 18-21 credits per semester for my first degree (a Bachelor in...

  4. NCLEX RN 14 times

    Elizabeth777 replied to sianee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You still seem to be making excuses. It doesn't matter that you had a demanding job, as many of us here also worked while in school. I had a job as a CNA on a fast-paced floor, as well as a part time...

  5. NCLEX RN 14 times

    Elizabeth777 replied to sianee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but maybe nursing isn't for you. You are going to have a difficult time finding a job, even if you do pass on the 15th time. The almost three year gap...

    Elizabeth777 replied to Optimistic_RN_'s topic in Illinois Nursing

    I recently got endorsed in Illinois from Wisconsin and I believe it took about a month from start to finish. This also included the time for fingerprinting, transcripts, etc. I called to check in on...

  7. Advice for a New NICU Nurse?

    Elizabeth777 replied to NICU_Newbie's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Congrats! I just got hired for a new grad position in the NICU too. As much as I've been looking up info and reading the recommended books, as well, remember that most everything we have to know will...

  8. Medication error

    Elizabeth777 replied to Feniagal's topic in General Nursing

    Uhh, yeah. I'm not going to sugarcoat it; those aren't errors. You knew that they were wrong and yet you did them anyways. 1. You pulled medication for two people at the same time. 2. You left...

  9. Getting around the 18 y.o requirement

    Elizabeth777 replied to npaar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so I'm a long-time lurker, but when I saw this thread, I had to actually create an account and post. I have been exactly where your daughter was, as I started college when I was 14 and, no, I...
