I would just like to believe that none of my fellow nurses would be stupid enough to make this kind of threat and then stupid x2 to put this kind of threat in writing... Hope its a joke.

Many colleges have an accelerated BSN of nursing if you have a BSN in another area. That would be ideal. My advise though is to apply to both and get in where you can.. as soon as you can...

And if she's going to be that petty, then you don't want to work for her anyway.. cut your losses ...

Kinda sounds like how "Black" people feel when we get bunched together.. for the actions of a few...

Ok sungrl, I agree, your question was a simple one... no need to get all "deep" and bluegrass response to you was inappropriate... especially the first response.. and asking how could you pose such a question... the question was ok.. lets keep it light people! I have a cousin who lives in Arizona.. she keeps trying to get me to move there. She said there's lots of jobs for nurses. Everyone I know that lives there loves it.. Go visit..

I really don't want an employer knowing who I owe and how much, whether I own my home, have a mortage, student loans, it's just tooooo personal.

Its funny because I luv luv luv luv the smell of fresh coffee in the morning- any kind is fine but I don't like to drink it as much as I like to smell it. I have maybe a cup every other month.

The NCLEX exam is designed to cut off when it is determined whether you are a safe nurse or not. That being said, you either did really well, or really poorly. If you did really well congrats. If you didn't pass, keep your head up, many have failed and gone on to become great nurses. I wish you well..

Serving in the military is honorable. It doesn't however give you the right to judge the underpriviliged or immigrants, or anyone that is not a "middle aged white male". and the last time I checked WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS. Just some of us got here later than others..

stop judging and assuming... get over yourself.... oh the disadvantages of being a middle aged white male in america.....surely you jest:jester:

In my area RN's making $122k a year are almost unheard of.... Im happy for you though:)

Although I agree with most of your post the part I disagree with is the part about the CRNA. I believe bedside nurses who don't have a love for patient care have a PROBLEM since thats their primary function. The role of a CRNA is more technical and more closely to the role of the anesthesiologist. and after all isn't the patient asleep. I would be willing to bet that if you spoke with CRNA's they would tell you money was definately a motivator...

If the professor gave you the tests back with no "disclaimer" then I think its ok to share. I'm sure he mixes up the questions and adds other questions during the subsequent exams. As I am sure he knows people share information. Im confused though. You wanted 2 help her at first but when she aced the test you suddenly didn't feel so good about your decision. Did you really think she wouldn't ask for the rest of your tests and homework? Are you assuming that she only used your exams to study or did she tell you that? I think it would be less of a dilemma if she hadn't done so well. In the end you should be honest with yourself and with her. You'll be a better person for it.

I am sure the OP is just seeking advise from the people on this website that do the job everyday. She wants to make an informed decision and who better to ask than us.... her peers and advance practice nurses who are where she is trying to go. Anyway, I thought that's what this site was for .

I disagree with you as not all nurses have the means to "stay in town". Some nurses actually are single parents and do not have the means to "stay in town" or be stuck in the hospital for days. How about this- Hospitals check the weather report and be proactive by having sign up sheets and coordinating with nurses who live in the immediate area and offering them overtime instead of considering someone a bad employee because they live 40 miles away and cant make it.
