The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

I didn’t say it was useful or necessary to practice. Or that every accredited program is a “good” program. I was saying that if it’s accredited it’s not a diploma mill. Just because you...
The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

If the programs are regionally and nationally accredited and you earn a BSN from it, then it’s not a diploma mill. The work at your own pace schools are competency based programs and are actually...

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

So much of what is being said here is foreign to me. It really depends on your area. The OP keeps saying PA is saturated. But it's not. Philly area may be, but Western PA is absolutely not. The...

This thread is killing me.... ~the hospital systems are out to get the OP ~the schools are out to get the OP ~the corporations are out to get the OP and ~the entire licensing system is out to get the...

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

You live in Pennsylvania. I have told you, over and over, in this thread that Pittsburgh has PLENTY of nursing jobs. You don’t need state reciprocity to move to a different area of your same state....

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

Good lord, I think you need to mention your 3 degrees again. MANY OF US have multiple degrees. If it's not in what you want to do, then it's not appropriate for the job! Your entire "everyone is...

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

Well, I'm not telling you where I'm working that's for sure, but I will say that I work for one of the major hospital systems in Pittsburgh. There are two major systems and our class was pretty much...
The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

I agree completely. If I had to take out tremendous loans to get my BSN or MSN, I would not do it. I am not going on for a DNP for that very reason and the fact that I won't be able to work enough...
The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

I am not sure why you are acting like this...or so annoyed by any other experiences. I’m not giving you career advice, I’m giving you an example of where you don’t need the BSN to get a job. The...

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

Why exactly do you seem annoyed by MY path? My education plan is mine to worry about but I’m glad you are happy for me. I was just sharing that it’s not all doom and gloom. Come to Western...

Nurse Magnolia replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

I’ll be the dissenter here...where I live, diploma schools are still very much alive and well and graduates are doing great. I’m one of those later in life graduates who just graduated at age 47....
NCLEX in 75 questions and good PVT pop up!

Nurse Magnolia posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

I graduated nursing school last Thursday and got my authorization to test yesterday. When I logged in to schedule, I could either schedule for today or on May 30 since I will be away in mid May....

NCLEX 75 questions

Nurse Magnolia replied to Megan Z's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

How do you know you passed already? Are your quick results available already or are you basing that on the pearson vue trick? I took the NCLEX yesterday, computer shut off at 75 questions and I got...
NCLEX in 75 questions and good PVT pop up!

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

I graduated nursing school with a 3.89 GPA from a school with a 97% NCLEX pass rate, so hopefully that means good news as well! From your username it seems you work in the NICU - that's where I'm...
NCLEX in 75 questions and good PVT pop up!

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

I was surprised at the content I received on the NCLEX. No lab values, no electrolyte imbalances, few basic care questions. My exam felt like it was mostly critical care questions (vents, DKA, HHS,...
uworld 49%

Nurse Magnolia replied to bg04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

I did uworld as well. I took the NCLEX today and it shut off at 75 questions and I got the good pop up for the pearsonvue trick so I think I passed. Still not 100% sure though! Uworld prepared me...
NCLEX, UWORLD - Boom Bam Wowee

Nurse Magnolia replied to Hop scotch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

Thank you for this! I graduate nursing school TODAY! I am hoping to take the NCLEX at the end of May. I get a “very high chance” of passing on Uworld and ATI but I’m still a nervous wreck of...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia posted a topic in General Students

After many, many years (20!) of "thinking about it", I finally decided at age 45 to go back to school for nursing. My mom was a nurse for 50 years and even though I have two other bachelor's degrees,...
Do OU nursing credits transfer to NP programs?

Nurse Magnolia posted a topic in Ohio University

Hi all, I’m just about to graduate and was looking into Ohio University’s RN-BSN program. Someone told my friends that OU credits won’t be accepted at NP schools. I find that hard to believe...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

I thought I'd come back here and update. I am now two months from graduation and have landed a job in a level III NICU and I have a 3.9GPA. I have been a very successful nursing student and hope to...
Nursing instructor gave a Warning for being late to first day of clinicals despite emailing her? What should I do?

Nurse Magnolia replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

I'm an older nursing student getting ready to graduate in April. I'm not saying it's necessarily the case here, but I watch the younger students half *** their skills, give attitude, skip class and...
Nursing instructor gave a Warning for being late to first day of clinicals despite emailing her? What should I do?

Nurse Magnolia replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

Does your school have an attendance policy? Our school says clinical starts at 6:30am. You are tardy if you arrive between 6:35-6:45am. If you arrive after 6:45am you are sent home and it's a...
Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

I was just about to echo what Wuzzie said. I'd really shush about this out in the world. I can't speak for everyone, but I'll speak for me. I have two bachelor's degrees, and this nursing program I...
New Grad NICU Support Thread

Nurse Magnolia replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

I graduate in April and I was recently hired for a level III NICU in a large hospital system. Honestly, I can't believe I landed this job right out of school. It was my goal, but I figured I'd have...
