  3. LNA Job Market in NH

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to green77bus's topic in General Nursing

    You can get a job in a hospital after working LTC. Hospitals just like to generally see a year of experience under your belt-worse case, you suck it up in LTC for a year, thats what I did, then I...

  5. If you go to the ER or doctor's office, do you tell them you're a nurse?

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet), but I do mention that I am in school for two reasons 1)I'm damn proud of that fact, considering it took me almost two years to get in, and 2)If you get the right person, you can...

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  9. Where to start for my LNA? IN NH

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to KStrick's topic in General Nursing

  10. Where to start for my LNA? IN NH

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to KStrick's topic in General Nursing

    The red cross offers a program that you can do. There is also LNA health careers and another one I can't think of at the moment lol. But you can apply for your license after only one semester of...

  12. LNA Job Market in NH

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to green77bus's topic in General Nursing

    LTC will get you the experience, and shifting from SNF to hospital, isnt too much a difference. Once you get the year experience, you can always go agency, and work hospital settings that way, and...

  13. Wages for RN, BSN

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to vjgersty's topic in General Nursing

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Lily, dont know if you heard back yet or not(keeping my fingers crossed for you!) but I had very similar NLN scores with all my A&Ps done, and did get waitlisted last year, but got in last...

  15. Is this even possible while in nursing school?

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to Malory371's topic in General Students

    I think if you learn to prioritize your time, and depending how much time you spend cheering and working, it's totally doable. I work part time as well as do gymnastics upwards to 8 hours a week and...

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to riley82's topic in General Nursing

    They don't go by composite scores they go by what your scored in each section, you have to have at least a 50 or better above in each section. I don't remember what my composite was, it was higher...

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    No, it doesn't make any difference towards getting into the program, it's just really helpful for your own

  19. Applying to GBCC

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    You also get an additional five points for good references(so ten points b/c you turn in two references). I'm not really sure how Manchester works, but I think it is similar to GBCC. I got accepted by...

  20. Applying to GBCC

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    Having those done will give you an extra 20pts on your admissions, usually the difference between a direct acceptance and a waitlist acceptance. So yes, directly they are part of the course outline,...

  25. Could there be a mistake? Or was it all trick questions?

    niko1999 RN BSN replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Students

    Were all the questions multiple choice, or was there any fill in the blank? Because fill in the blanks have to be hand graded and will make your score look WAY worse than it
