  1. New Grad: How do I handle harsh criticism from other nurses?

    stockmanjr replied to Sunny-RN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Pennsylvania RN License by endorsement

    stockmanjr replied to MHDNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    Just got my PA TPP. You need to get a background check from the state police or other agency in your current state, and every state you've ever lived, worked, or attended school. In some states that's...

  5. Pennsylvania Board of Nursing

    stockmanjr replied to Jah Jah's topic in General Nursing

    You can do the child abuse course online. Also, are you getting the PA license via endorsement or taking the NCLEX? You need to have an active license to get a full TPP. However, you can get a...

  7. 36 hours is only part time??

    stockmanjr replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    I was just offered a .9 position that the Manager said was full time when I interviewed but the recruiter when I was about to close the deal said my documents would say part-time for 36hrs. Assuming...

  8. Unfair Tests?

    stockmanjr replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    I understand that concept as the NCLEX does that. I think it's very kind to say it's a mistake. For some it might be a mistake, but for others it's a way to weed out students or to make students...

  9. Unfair Tests?

    stockmanjr replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    That's the sort of scam I'm talking about. You can't have it both ways. If you want to teach in a concept format that's fine, but you to make your exams are on what your class have covered or that...

  10. CHOP NICU INTERVIEW

    stockmanjr replied to sal97's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When I shadowed I just helped carry stuff for the nurse and chatted a bit with the patients and families. It's a really good experience that they do a shadow as you get a feel for the unit. The nurse...

  11. Unfair Tests?

    stockmanjr replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    Concept Education seems like a great way for shady for profit schools to fail a bunch of kids on random exams and blame it on the students. It's about as good as when my school decided to get rid of...

  13. My Parents are Nurses and Don’t Support My Withdrawal from Nursing School

    stockmanjr replied to ACR's topic in General Students

    This is somewhat true as Nursing School is very different then when your working. Also, after getting some experience you could work in public health and help work towards change. With that said if...

  14. In trouble afraid of being kicked out don't know what to do

    stockmanjr replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    Seems like a very harsh interpretation of the policy. While this might be a violation it's a minor one and could have been handled by having to write an extra paper or an in-service. To fail someone...

  15. Nursing School Admissions

    stockmanjr replied to Sarah.L's topic in General Students

  20. Not passing nursing fundamentals

    stockmanjr replied to chawley15's topic in General Students

    This all of this. You need to find what works for you as we all learn differently. I like the success line of books as well as Saunders. Also, with study groups keep it small as the bigger they get...

  21. New Grad Trying to Make a Decision

    stockmanjr replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't either but this seems to be the trend. The only way around is to work LTACH Tele or Vent it seems. A few of my classmates moved on from LTACH but it was either they did it super quickly like...

  22. New Grad Trying to Make a Decision

    stockmanjr replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    It's about having the right connections of folks who can get your resume in front of people who make hiring decisions. The problem is that some connections won't put their name out there for a new...
