    Can't get federal aid, best private loans?

    Multicollinearity replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Students

    Nobody in my undergrad nursing program could get any federal financial aid if they had already earned another undergrad

    Is this type of schedule common?

    Multicollinearity replied to bella201's topic in General Nursing

    I sometimes do 7 on 7 off, 12 hour shifts. I cannot imagine 2 weeks on/off unless it's at some remote outpost with a lot of

    Multicollinearity replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Student loans for my ADN and BSN programs. Currently in DNP program, and I'm paying out of my earnings as I

    Nurses who can't find work.

    Multicollinearity replied to JesusKeepMe's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    We both graduated about the same time - when nursing jobs for new grads became scarce. I had to move for my first nursing job. I commute 3 hours each week for my current nursing job. I graduated...

    Night shifters-when do you eat?

    Multicollinearity replied to cassie77775's topic in General Nursing

    I eat a light snack before going to work. I then eat a full meal at about 2200. I eat when I'm hungry. Lots of fruits and veggies and salads. I have lost weight while working night shift for over...

    Drug use and drug testing and Klonopin

    Multicollinearity replied to amesly15's topic in Correctional

    Your facility should be sending out for gas chromatography confirmation testing. Urine tox screening is never considered definitive, only an initial screening. Benzo metabolites should show up on...

    Tucson Nursing Schools-HELP!/Experience with PMI?

    Multicollinearity replied to kla1983's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would try to avoid a school like PMI if you can. It's expensive, and the reputation isn't that great. These are two bad things in a bad job market. I dropped out of college 3 times many, many...

    What type of papers in NP school?

    Multicollinearity replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And if you are in a doctoral program you had better pay attention and embrace your education because when you get to your oral comps you have to be able to discuss your learning in a scholarly,...

    Is Banner Health hiring ADN new grads?

    Multicollinearity replied to vw74vw's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you get an ADN you are probably going to have to go rural to get a job. Then you can earn your RN-BSN and get experience, and move back to an urban area if you

    Anyone NOT work during NP program?

    Multicollinearity replied to MarBug7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My DNP adviser recommends quitting one's job when beginning the clinical portion during the last half of the program. He says it's almost impossible to work then. But most do work during the first...

    ADN vs. BSN - patient mortality rates

    Multicollinearity replied to Katniss88's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, let's not. Let's keep discussing it until professional nurses realize and admit more education is better for the patients we care for. It may take 20 years - but eventually we will get there and...

    ADN vs. BSN - patient mortality rates

    Multicollinearity replied to Katniss88's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Individual nurses will vary regardless of educational level. Overall, more education is better. I started as an ADN-RN and finished the BSN later. I support BSN for entry to

    Temporarily on night shift; too scared to do it

    Multicollinearity replied to LaceyRN12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Blood draws are no big deal and nothing to be afraid of. That will be routine for you soon. Nights are easier on most units. Less stress. I thought I could NEVER work nights, and here I am on...

    Do nurses usually work 3 12-hour shifts a week for full pay?

    Multicollinearity replied to gentlerain's topic in General Nursing

    Right out of my ADN program I earned $25 per hour and worked 40-44 hours per week. After earning my BSN and with two years of experience, I went to a hospital where we work seven 12 hour shifts per 2...

    The raw truth about what NPs really do

    Multicollinearity replied to ccuevas12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got a night-shift slacker job on an easy hospital unit while I do my DNP program. Nursing can be very sucky at times, but honestly I find my hospital job to be much easier than my previous...

    would you work this rotating schedule?

    Multicollinearity replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would not do that consistently. It would make me feel like crap. Employers will use you as much as you let

    What helps you sleep after night shift?

    Multicollinearity replied to Emma_H's topic in General Nursing

    I take nothing but melatonin. I find a dark room with black out curtains and a consistent schedule means I can sleep 8 hours during the day without any trouble. The hard part is the consistent...

    NOT SELECTED, Am I being perceived as a second class nurse?

    Multicollinearity replied to SYNTIA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's probably nothing wrong with you. The job market for nurses is horrible in the Phoenix area and Tucson. I'd suggest earning that RN-BSN degree. The economy has pushed many new RNs into...

    Mental Health Awareness Month

    Multicollinearity replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Stigma exists largely because people don't understand mental illness, and they fear it. Also, for example, one's osteoarthritis does not result in a person glaring at you or acting "bizarre" like...

    Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    Multicollinearity replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I've only seen one RN fired for a med error. She was supposed to give an immunization and gave another kind of med IM instead, by mistake. The patient who was outpatient had to be hospitalized....
