Hi, may I ask how you did with your tests at school?

Are you currently working? If so, I'd plan on putting your job on hold or cutting down your hours significantly (<20 hours or less). I'd also focus on honing your study habits.

I agree entirely. You worded this much more eloquently than I would have been able to.

Personally, it sounds like you're lucky to still be eligible for the program. I would have advised against emailing the professors and complaining about the procedure to get back into the program. It doesn't really matter if you thought the process w...

Bringing this back to the original post, what was said that was rude? We're still waiting on that response, and it looks like OP has been on within the last day.

So it was a shoddy job. I'd move on. It was just a telephone interview, so it's not like she wasted time dressing up and driving across town. It's unfortunate, but there's lots of less than desirable companies out there. Looks like she happened to fi...

Also, if anyone has any psych experience (or would like to get some!), let me know. I can help you get your foot in the door at the Lourdes Counseling Center in outpatient services. Edit: forgot to add, they're extremely flexible with student schedu...

The school has the right to withhold NCLEX testing privileges. They cannot withhold her from receiving the degree if she technically passed the classes, but if remediation is deemed necessary, they can reserve testing privileges until her scores are ...

This is so bizarre that the mother is posting this and not her daughter. Frankly, I feel like that in itself is a pretty good indicator that this may be why she hasn't passed the HESI. Please let your daughter grow and learn to work her way through c...

If her outside jobs aren't affecting her patient care at the job you work at together, I don't see why this would be a problem.

Phone call! ?

Our entrance was based solely on grades and the TEAS. I had a 4.0 GPA and scored in the 88th percentile on the TEAS entrance exam, and was still put on a wait list. It's going to vary greatly program to program.

Hello all, Congratulations new students! If you received your acceptance letter, we have a Facebook group for the class of 2021 that we encourage all new student nurses to join. We will be sharing class information and events there, and you may ask q...

Nobody I know in the program works full time, and I only know a handful of people who work part-time (myself included). The majority don't work at all, it's just frankly too much. I also only work Friday-Sunday, and the only reason I'm able to while ...

Absolutely! Oh my gosh, so many. Find a good stethoscope, but don't be spending tons of cash to get something like the Littmann cardiology. Things get lost or misplaced, and frankly, as a student nurse you won't be able to differentiate between a lot...

Hi all! I've commented on this thread before, but if we haven't had a chance to talk, I'm Sydney. I'm the secretary for the ASN (Association of Student Nurses) at CBC. Be expecting letters soon! Can't wait to meet you all at orientation ? A few quick...

If you're already part of some of the student nursing Facebook groups, you may have seen this going around before it got dirty deleted. I wanted to get some professionals' opinions. Apparently some nursing students and RNs believe it is okay to look ...

Per my local newspaper (I live in Washington), this is the only thing she had to say about her statement of 'nurses probably play cards', and is currently her only publicly released statement: “I was tired,” she said. “I said something I wish I hadn’...

Statistics and studies back her claim. Instead of arguing about the (multiple) studies, we could all proactively acknowledge our potential biases and work towards fixing the problem.

I'm not arguing, I entirely agree, but isn't the patients name PHI? And if you only knew that name due to caring for the patient, isn't entering that into a personal item (like phone or PC) a violation? At the very least, yeah, definitely creepy and ...

My thoughts exactly. This wasn't apologetic. She's not upset about what she said, she just wishes she would have kept it to herself.

I'm sorry you had such a poor experience. I want to break down a few things. 1. You chose to work a grueling job during school. I understand that not everyone has the luxury to not work or take out loans, but you are also choosing to not set yoursel...

1. Part of my concern was that if you look someone up on FB, they can appear on yours and your friends' "suggested friends" lists, and your account is likely to appear on the suggested list of the person you looked up. Even if it's legally allowed, i...

I left a hashtag on her Facebook that she keeps deleting/hiding. #yourcareeriscoding

You're right, it must be everyone else being hostile... I'm positive this attitude doesn't come across to them at all.
