    Has anyone nursed in Ireland or Scotland

    Apple-Core replied to das729's topic in International Nursing

    You'd think with the NHS been spread so thinly they'd be crying out for nurses, but there are a host of legal hoops to jump through. WHat do you need to know exactly? What is this for - just for the...

    Private nursing school?

    Apple-Core replied to lolaaaaajones's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good point! BSN is def the way to go if you can. You can bridge from the Associates at Maricopa now. As long as your grades are good, then I know at least one of the Universities will allow you to...

    I don't know how I could've handed this differently

    Apple-Core replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is going to be one of my biggest challenges when I enter the nursing field (I'm currently a student) because what I'd really love to ask is how the **** a patient was allowed to get into...

    November- January 18’ cep applicants

    Apple-Core replied to gwccstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    HI Sayla - I know you weren't asking me, but what helped me with the HESI was using the HESI book: Elsevier Education Portal Plus there are a bunch of free online practice tests, and there is also a...

    Private nursing school?

    Apple-Core replied to lolaaaaajones's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You're welcome! Remember, if you apply for the CEP and don't get accepted - your original nursing program application is still working it's way through the waiting list. Also, you can reapply for the...

    Private nursing school?

    Apple-Core replied to lolaaaaajones's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Let me start by saying that I haven't ever been to either school. However, I do know people that have, and they were happy with the education they received. On the other hand, they weren't happy with...

    HCR240 online Gateway or Phoenix? (or Rio if necessary)?

    Apple-Core replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's open book. It is super easy. I got an A without really trying. Mid and finals are online, open book. Can't recall teacher's name, but don't think it really

    Nursing and Light Sex Work?

    lateral violence in nursing school

    Apple-Core replied to SugarPlumIce87's topic in General Students

    My advice then would be to keep your sniffer to the ground, study like mad, graduate, then move as far away as possible from a place that accepts such segregation and bullying

    Men in Nursing...

    Apple-Core replied to eaglenurse2b12's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There are about 3 or 4 guys in my cohort of 28. So, admittedly they are in the minority, but I don't see them as "feminine" or out of place, I view them just the same as a do my female

    Oregon Pre-nursing student in need of reassuring words

    Apple-Core replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This ^ Seriously, without wanting to patronize you, you are so young.......way too young to be worrying like this. I'll be closer to 50 by the time I start working as a nurse. Couldn't care

    lateral violence in nursing school

    Apple-Core replied to SugarPlumIce87's topic in General Students

    WOW - I'm surprised it is allowed in the classroom. Socially, of course, there's no control - but in the class the teacher could step in. A big chunk of my studies are on cultural awareness, tolerance...

    lateral violence in nursing school

    Apple-Core replied to SugarPlumIce87's topic in General Students

    Your class was segregated by race? By who - the students? And why did the teachers allow this? I despise bullying. Even if I don't especially care for somebody, I would never be cruel or ostracize...

    Unprofessional Students

    Apple-Core replied to xtina334's topic in General Students

    NO - do not email the director or anyone for that matter. Deal with this yourself. This is about as basic an issue as possible! I would either ignore this student or speak directly to her. Personally...

    Crying in front of instuctor

    Apple-Core replied to amynursing's topic in General Students

    When we were at orientation a while back, one of the senior students told us that it is likely that we'll cry every day. I think she was being facetious, but still....I think it's pretty

    Horrible experience, threat to report to BON

    Apple-Core replied to acern72's topic in Texas Nursing

    Unfortunately when you are agency, you are pretty much expected to do whatever they ask without question because you are not there to advance your career, it is purely to help fill a gap in their...

    CEP Point System

    Average when I applied this summer (2017) was in the middle-low 90s - 93/94. Check this out though:

    Maricopa Book Requirements Etc.

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just read about a really cool idea in an old post on here: they had used a blade to carefully remove the pages from their books and punched holes in them to add to a binder. If I purchase the...

    Maricopa Book Requirements Etc.

    Apple-Core posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi - Hoping somebody can help with this, please. We had our orientation the other day, and received info about the CoursePoint online materials. OK, so I'm probably totally over-thinking this, but...

    Can I pass the HESI with only 2 weeks to study???

    Apple-Core replied to RN2b2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on what is expected of you. In my area, we "only" had to do math and English. Other areas expect all the sciences. If it's just English and Math, you should be good,

    Maricopa Book Requirements Etc.

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes - I MUCH prefer the hardcopy book. I've had classes online before and don't care for the e-book. From my understanding, we HAVE to buy the online access for CoursePoint for the reasons similar to...
