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

    I got in! Now what?

    falconersys replied to CCboymomRN2B's topic in General Students

    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

    School making me repeat a course. Help

    falconersys replied to mmilbrunRN85's topic in General Students

    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...

    Rude nurses

    falconersys replied to rnbsn2md's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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

    falconersys replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    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...

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    falconersys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    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...

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    falconersys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    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...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    falconersys replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    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

    Acceptance Rate/GPA

    falconersys replied to Mia Yap's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    Columbia basin college Nursing 2019

    falconersys replied to Lee09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    falconersys replied to Lee09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    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...

    Looking up patients on Facebook

    falconersys posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Sen. Maureen Walsh Response to Backlash

    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...

    Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    falconersys replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    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

    Looking up patients on Facebook

    falconersys replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Teachers Discriminating against students

    falconersys replied to harkness1989's topic in General Students

    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...

    Looking up patients on Facebook

    falconersys replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    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...

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