  1. What to do?? A whole BOX of crazy!!!

    prettywishes posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey there! I'm reaching out to my fellow nurses for some much needed advise, and appreciate any and all responses. Sorry for the long post, there's a whole box of crazy about to open!! I've been with...

  2. What to do?? A whole BOX of crazy!!!

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%! I started my job when I began NUR101 and thought it would be great because it was sort of like a CNA position. I felt the wage was decent compared to the $10-12/hr CNAs usually make in...

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! You're right, I don't owe her any explanation and I haven't trusted her for a long time. My only concern would be the orientation phase because a lot of places do it in the morning/early...

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice! I spoke to the DON of a company I'm interested in today and she sounded very enthusiastic about taking me in as a new grad to mold me as a new nurse. I'm going to go in tomorrow...

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

    I did call the labor board today and spoke with this very nice lady who is looking into what I can do. She said she has to research it more since I don't want to file a formal complaint yet and...

  7. 2 full-time jobs?

    prettywishes replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    I would speak to your school's financial aid office and explain what's going on to them. There may be grants and/or scholarships you can receive. I'd also reach out to hospitals and other employers....

  8. Extreme Lack of Communication! Help!

    prettywishes posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my post. I'm trying to find some feedback and suggestions on what I should do to solve this ongoing issue. I've been e-mailing my instructor for the last week in...

  9. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    prettywishes posted a topic in General Students

    I've always been socially awkward and a bit unusual..strange, really. My mom used to tell me that in nursing school people find their best friends and become very tight knit. This hasn't happened for...

  10. struggling help!!!

    prettywishes replied to young3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm super sorry to hear about your losses, that is hard enough and there really aren't words to describe it. Hang in there!! Maybe you could try a community college or an LPN program instead of a...

  12. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response and the congrats! Sometimes I get a gut feeling that it's better to be on my own, just sucks to feel left out. I have noticed a lot of those same things in my cohort. I also...

  13. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    prettywishes replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    Thanks Wuzzie. I'll just think of something else to say when everyone shares what they got rather than a number since it seems to cause so much animosity. It's nice to know how I'm doing compared to...

  14. How to focus on nursing school textbook reading?

    prettywishes replied to slightlycanadian's topic in General Students

    Thank you!!! I was blessed to barely ever have to study outside of class before nursing school, so I was having trouble figuring out how to tackle not only my lack of knowing how to study but fears of...

  15. what colleges with my numbers

    prettywishes replied to kayleepatt's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with the previous poster. When I sat with the head of the nursing dept. at my school (not in CA, but still extremely competitive..like over 700 people applied for 48 spots competitive) and...

  16. Thoughts or suggestions on the TEAS V test

    prettywishes replied to Béltéfí's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My school that I've recently been accepted to does TEAS testing to find out if any students may need additional help in any subjects. I recommend buying the package with practice tests A & B which...

  17. Jobs during nursing school?

    prettywishes replied to marisa.m's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't trade being accepted into nursing school for anything, so that's how I'm looking at it :) That's a good idea looking into positions at the hospital. I have applied to the local hospital for...

    prettywishes replied to marisa.m's topic in General Students

    Yes, this is correct..however, it's 3 semesters after beginning nursing school until you can sit for

  19. Jobs during nursing school?

    prettywishes replied to marisa.m's topic in General Students

    I'm basically in the same boat, except I've already experienced termination due to not being available during all work hours. I worked in an office as an assistant manager, and was already taking a...
