    Addressing Student Body Odor

    Mergirlc replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    Actually, some lockers have those vents on them so if you were going to stick a note or letter in there, you could. Just poke it through the vent. Anything bigger than a note, then there would be no...

    NCLEX RN repeat test taker

    Mergirlc replied to erum.shariff's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are probably not going to be able to avoid taking the TOEFL, or any other English proficiency exam, due to your licensing in another country. Heck, even when you apply to Grad school they make...

    Not connecting or feeling good about nursing program

    Mergirlc replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    Does the vibe not feel right because of the teachers and program or is it your fellow classmates? While it is true that people tend to flock to others in their similar social circles or interests...

    California License

    Mergirlc replied to Murse123's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't recommend coming out here until you get experience and a BSN. The majority of the major hospitals out here only hire BSN or above. Smaller cities or town hospitals might do ASN, but I'm...

    Moving, taking NCLEX in another state

    Mergirlc replied to bow002's topic in General Students

    Also take into consideration the higher cost of living in the Seattle WA area and its outskirts. They probably pay a lot more in the Seattle area compared to PA, but a lot of that will go toward...

    Mergirlc replied to Tiggeriffic_77's topic in General Nursing

    Most HRs do refund back if something is in error....it's just a matter of how long it will take them to do so. Do you have a place where you can log-in...like an employee dashboard? I'm wondering if...

    Change in careers

    Mergirlc replied to Sharon.xo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest you start by volunteering at a hospital or clinic first, to get a feel of how things are/run. You get exposure to the inner-workings of a hospital. Not only will this expose you to...

    You really need to sit down and speak to your daughter. Take some of the advice given here on this board. She might listen to you, she might not. If she does not listen to you, as WhaleTails put...

    Home care agency - not paying me after giving two weeks notice

    Mergirlc replied to Nnj's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if you've already done this, but try to make sure to document (by email) your requests for payment by sending them emails requesting your wages. At least this shows you have given them ample...

    Mergirlc replied to StefanieG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From the schools you stated, I can see you're in Nor Cal. I will tell you straight up, your grades are not at all competitive for any regular nursing program up here. I think your idea of trying for...

    Addressing Student Body Odor

    Mergirlc replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    You do have a point. I just have a sneaking feeling that everybody is already probably gossiping about him, if not worse! Maybe sign the note, "a concerned friend?" I recall back when I was in high...

    Addressing Student Body Odor

    Mergirlc replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I know this may be childish, but could you type up an anonymous, nicely written note and put it in his locker? At least this way he would know personally without being called into an office. If he...

    Most of the class cheating??

    Mergirlc replied to Katherin7's topic in General Students

    Leave them be. It will come back to bite them you know where. If they are just cheating and not learning, they won't pass NCLEX. If by some weird, slim chance they do pass, chances are they will...
