I am debating on whether I not I should add my disposition dicument and letter of explanation to my TN application to the BON. I have a previous dismissed petty charge when I was 15-years-old (so, six years ago). I was never convicted of a crime beca...

Wow! The stress you must have felt!

Whew! I just graduated from my ABSN program. But the weight is still not off my chest because I have to pass NCLEX.

My job looked at my overalls GPA and I needed at least a 3.2 to apply. I had to upload my transcript to the application. So, some employers may ask and some may not. If you have a low GPA don't apply to jobs that requires high GPAs and you'll be fine...

This is just the wrong site to bash the profession.

Someone else on this site said that they could wear any color besides ER. Though I'm not sure how accurate that is. Do you know if they offer any bonuses for signing their contracts? Link: https://allnurses.com/nursing-job-hunt/vanderbilt-nurse-resid...

Congratulations!

I hope everyone makes the cut!

Hi, I got an interview for Cardiac Step Down in 2 weeks. So, please let me know how yours will go.

I took Organic Chemistry and none of it helped me or was even used in nursing school. However, I also took general chemistry and that helped me to hone my dimensional analysis skills for dosage calculations. But you should also be aware of the exact ...

Yes, maybe. Though I was told that there was a lot of interview slots left and that's why my application was even considered as I started it on 8/20 and submitted it the next morning.

I was notifies by tracy that it will be sometime this week. So hopefully soon!

I would wait until you get the basic foundation on the materials.

Hey Dustin, I applied for the CVICU as well!

It will take mines 3 1/2 years because I took 16 nursing credits in the summer. But prerequisites took me 2 years total.

Stop worrying about everyone else's progress in the course and just focus on yourself. Because I would constantly compare my test grades to my classmates which would just make me feel down about myself. Though there is no need as I still personally c...

You dont have to give up nursing completely if it's really what you want to do. Try to find another program or go for your LPN in the mean time.

It all started clicking for me when I started my med-surg class because the patho is important.

My 1st day of nursing school consisted of nothing but ADPIE and the importance of nursing diagnoses....yay.

So, a nursing student must stand for 12 hours??? You are crazy. Nurses don't even stand that long and sit when they can. Sometimes I even see them scrolling through their emails or on Facebook when they are sitting in those chairs at the nurses stati...

You are a student, not a nurse! You should be allowed ALL of your breaks if you're just standing around. Honestly, you don't have to stalk the call bell because there is still a nurse and a tech still in attendance.

My NS is requiring that a "B" or 85% test average is needed to pass fundamentals and 15% of the grade is passing the end of semester Kaplan assement proctor exam. I am really nervous to take this class because the grading scale is so high and I'm not...

Same! I have 3 weeks until the end of my summer semester and I'm lacking so much motivation right now. Now I just study enough to get by (1-2 hours) then take the test and hope for the best.

You might as well take all 9 Classes and apply to both the ADN and BSN program. A year and a half of prerequisites does not seem terrible.

Im in an accelerated program this summer, so my life is basically school all of the time. However, during a regular semester I usually spend about 10-15 of studying a week max. My theory hours are usually the majority of my hours like going to school...
