    blkgurlwithwings replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    blkgurlwithwings replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

  5. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    blkgurlwithwings replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    pay to volunteer? I don't think so. I found my position online on some volunteer website. I think they were so happy to get me. I volunteer 1 day/week so that I can still job search and volunteer...

  6. Gossiping amongst nurses

    blkgurlwithwings replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

  7. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    blkgurlwithwings replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

    I think some are being a bit hard on the OP. I'm sure her feelings were hurt, she felt embarrassed and slighted by the fact that this person was her own age. Hopefully she has read these posts and...

    blkgurlwithwings replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    blkgurlwithwings replied to JBET's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel the same way. I want to vomit. I feel so sad...not because I don't think I can do it, but because I simply do not want to go thru it again. My boyfriend is a Social Worker and their...

    blkgurlwithwings replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Samuel Merritt ABSN worth it or not?

    blkgurlwithwings replied to yukitiki's topic in California Nursing

    Don't forget the 10% interest rate to boot--other loans are more like 8%. Now I'm glad I didn't bother applying. My friend said the SF campus had the same problem. No Kaiser jobs for the Kaiser...

  18. Is $47,000 too much for an ABSN???

    blkgurlwithwings replied to ifyouwereme's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in the same boat, but do hospitals really offer $10,000/yr? Is it renewable? I'm worried myself. Is SMC really worth it? Or should I wait 6mths to one

    blkgurlwithwings replied to Soneshine's topic in General Nursing
