    Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    Apple-Core replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am assuming you're referring to post? Please note I was only going by something I was told from a friend who is a peer (which I did make clear in my post); she talked/bragged about her high grades...

    Universal Deathcare.

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

    Coffee wasn't advocating for a "corpse"...please go back and read their posts. They were in favor of a humane and peaceful death. They also recognized the traumatic and grief-stricken situation the...

    Is this HIPPA breach or just rudeness?

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, she was actually shouting. She wasn't the person sitting at the very front of the reception desk, she was off to the side. Screaming/shouting, no. Shouting to be heard, yes. And unfortunately...

    Is this HIPPA breach or just rudeness?

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, I can see what you're saying. Very close call then, because had she been in my chart then that would have been my info! I don't even know what she *wasn't* in my chart - the whole thing was...

    Is this HIPPA breach or just rudeness?

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thank you all for your informative and detailed responses. Sorry for my big DOH writing HIPPA instead of HIPAA! LOL! I should stress I didn't stay and listen to the receptionists talking about us as...

    Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    Apple-Core replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LOL! That is a very good question. I am going by what she told me, and that is how she described it. Don't worry - she was given a large serving of humility and brought down a peg or two very rapidly....

    Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    Apple-Core replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    From what I have heard from friends who are nurses, the only time it ever mattered was when they wanted to further their education. Just like when you apply for nursing school, your GPA mattered,...

    I did have a thought - is it possible for you to move to a different area or even state? I know that's asking a lot, but it would at least give you a fresh

    Best educational path for older student?

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

    Hi - Welcome! I wouldn't allow your age to worry you at all. There is a lot to be said for life experience, maturity, and the sense of calm/peace being older brings with it. I would avoid any...

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

    Nope. If I was 65 and wanted it badly enough, I'd do it. Others may disagree with that thinking, but I don't care - I have one life to live and I don't want to regret anything. I'm closing in on 50...
