I'm entering my senior semester in the fall (i made it through med/surg with the other 25% of my class!!!). I began applying for internships a few weeks ago. I never heard back and many of the positions were filled. Im afraid that if I don't get s...

You took the words right out of my mouth. They most often lack patience, hold one another in contempt, and act as if they were not once in your place. Oh yeah, I also come home hating clinicals because I feel so stupid. But it comes to this. This ...

Can anyone direct to an agency, etc, that can help me find work in England. Also, what's the job market like on the other side of the pond?

I'm in the first semester as well. We've had two test so far. I got B's on both and I'm frustrated as well. After some reflection I understand what I can do better. I was operating under the assumption that they were trying to trick me...but they...

PRN positions are just part time positions that you work when you're available. They usually pay about time and a half. I'll just use those entire checks to pay off the loans.

Don't worry about comparing yourself with others. We all have unique situations. Some have families, others live at home with parents. Like myself. I have a wife and child, a BA, going to an ADN program. I'm looking at about 35,000 in debt (inclu...

In the current job market (thank you Bush), it's like that everywhere. All of the entry level jobs require 1 year experience. Well, it's not really entry level then, now is it? I had the same problem as a grade school teacher. After two years une...

Finally, 15,000 years after the dawn of civilization, we've eradicated bigotry and sexism. If you believe that, I've got a brigde in Brooklyn for sale, real cheap...interested? How do you know he wasn't hired based on his gender? Where you there? D...

How do you know it isn't a male issue? Where you there when they looked over the application? Do you know the hiring manager? As every person is unique, so is every situation...including the hiring one's. Don't be so sure that your fellow men and...

Well, I'm a hypnotist. If you live in KC, I could help you. A hypnotist can also teach you self hypnosis and other relaxation techniques to calm you in those stressful times. If you see one, don't pay more than $50...they'll try and rip you off.

I am a 28 year old father of a 14 mo boy. My wife is a stay at home mom. I, too, have a BA and couldn't make ends meet (was a 1st grade teacher). So I'm entering NS in a few weeks (worked fulltime and saved all the loan money that year for later w...

All I can say is thank goodness I'll be the only guy in class. It seems a territory thing...am I wrong?

3.67 Overall 3.82 Science prereqs Already have BA in Education Accepted on first try. Know someone admitted with a 3.15 overall. Point system based on GPA and Prereqs Completed. Essay required. That's it.

Do what I did. Call or email the President's Secretary, send any supporting documents (ie, receipts for transcripts, emails, etc), and give specific dates and names (assuming you've already PERSONALLY spoken to each department head...use the chain o...

We are allowed to take one nursing class before officially starting the program...Health Assessment. So I haven't actually started (Aug 21st is start date). But this one class gave me a taste of the frustrations I am about to endure. The absolute wor...

MY ADN program requires a Child or Human development course. I have a BA in Elem Education which included a 2 hr Child Development. I noticed immediately that the degree description shows it as a 3 hr course. Apparently the school doesn't think I ...

Karmyk, The original poster asked what route they should take as a baccalaureate. I, and other post graduates, gave our opinions...as solicited. True, you provided the only BSN suggestion. We, as older, more experienced people, know the path this ...

I'm just going to say it like it is... Don't listen to the cry babies. 50/50 divorce rate? Really. So they have the data at hand? Much Ado About Nothing. The whole "Nursing School Causes Divorce" can be a self-fulfiling prophecy if you let it. Anothe...

Karmyk, I didn't sense any "hate" from MBA2BRN. I understand how you don't want to let go of the investment you've made in your education to this point. When I graduated with my BA, even though I didn't want to be a teacher, I didn't want to believ...

I have a BA and am going back to school myself. I don't know the area and, therefor, the requirments. However, here in Kansas City, I went back to junior college. They required 2.5, an essay, and a few prereqs. I know someone who was accepted with a ...

I just started a post answering this question. I know people who had 3.15 GPA's and were accepted (ADN). Maybe even lower. If it doesn't, take the courses you did poorly in over again. Most schools allow you to replace grades.

This is my biggest worry. Please let us know how it turns out for you. I'd love to hear a daily progress report. I was never able to find work when I graduated the first time with my BA in education. I've been there. It's a nightmare! Three yea...

People think NS is just how to put on a bandaid, change diapers, and make beds. Love the sexist attitude too. I'm male and people have this unspoken (and sometimes they actually say it!) attitude that I'm an underachiever because I didn't go to medic...

Since I don't know you and your character, I can't really say, with honesty, that you will or will not make it. I can, however, say that, as it appears to me, if a relatively intelligent person with a strong will has determined to do something, he o...

OK, I've been accepted for the fall. To proceed, I'll need to quit my job. I've worked here fulltime for the last three years. Granted, my pay stinks and my benefits are even worse (which is what made me consider nursing in the first place). Oh y...
