Bluebolt, BSN, RN, I have used airbnb several times. You may be able to negotiate a decent deal. Start by choosing places with many good reviews. That has worked for me. They have been safe, clean and most times cheaper than a hotel stay; Rented a ro...

My first job in social service checked my references after a great interview. The manager that wanted to hire me, told me that my main. Reference was a bad one. The phone contact boarder lined strange. (I mentioned the general oddness of the facilit...

Semi-rant...I hope I am posting in the right place. I am a first year nursing student. I have a certification as a CNA and a BA in another field. I have been working for an "elite" organization for several years. But I simply can't get my foot in the...

that is crazy. so what's the point? i feel like i should cut my losses and move on to the next position that i find. but i know that nothing is guaranteed once i graduate. i guess i should just be happy to have a job right now. it's really maddening.

thanks. you are right. i have seen the almost arrogance and superficial feel at each interview.

Hello, I hope folks are having a great first semester! I and a classmate are looking to switch to the day cohort. We are both currently in the evening cohort. Is anyone out there looking to switch, or knows someone looking to switch? If so please ema...

I'm sure you do, chi rn...However, we were discussing entry level positions and thoughts of there not being many "professional" jobs that allow only an Associates. If you go back and consult your family members, I'm sure they will tell you to move fo...

Chi rn, I'm the person who posted those career titles. And actually from knowing some folks in these professions a lot of them are Bachelors degree "preferred." Just as nursing has become. The other careers are good entry-level positions in which a ...

i never declared myself an expert. simply stating what i believe just as you have the right to do the same. this thread is mainly a comparison of the two degrees and i often feel on the board in general there are often double standards (i.e. one is b...

We all have to make our own choices regarding education. The ADN vs. BSN is basically BS. The preference for BSN right now has nothing to do with a so called better nursing foundation. I can understand more coursework in management etc., but when it ...

It depends on your state and the type of bankruptcy. A regular Chapter 7 usually takes a minimum of two years to qualify for mortgage.

Which hospitals are these? As an up and coming nurse, I would love to know!

i realize this is a pretty old thread. so hopefully you've found your answer by now. at any rate, this combo could be helpful, but not really necessary working in social service. due to "community based service rule 132" you would be able to petitio...

i get some "looks" as to why i chose an adn program over a bsn. when i say the main reason is cost, i typically get an "ooooh, that's so smart..." i really could care less what others think of my choices. we are not required to justify anything to a...

This is true. However, I think it also has a lot to do with the ecomomy and the plethora of job applicants who probably have more experience. I searched for a few months for a PCT position within the hospital I work for, in addition to those in the ...

Hi ezzie18, no problem. I decided not to take the pharm 104. I may pick it up later though. I have already taking the medication dosage portion, but that was not with CCC. Hope you are able to take care for financial aid things, the office seems pret...

Thinktank451, could you please mention when this email was sent out. I've taken a pharm class already, but I'm still curious. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, katybeto. You are right. I emailed Ms. Ousley and she responded right away. She confirmed clinicals are once per week, first year. Due to my work schedule I wanted to be certain nothing had changed.

I received the same email. I know this may be too early to tell, but are clinicals once a week, first year or twice?

Go for it, David. GL!

I understand on both the "honest" and busy parts. I'm super busy as well. Thanks for taking a minute to clarify. It's easy to read too much or too little into these post at times. So, my apologies, zbb13. During summer break, I've decided to start r...

The hospital I work for will pay 100% of nursing school education (regardless of level) but up to a certain capped amount per year. I think with certain organizations, we just lucked out! Tuition reimbursement certainly is hard to find period, in the...

Is it just me or does zbb13's comment sound a bit pretentious? What does honesty have to do with anything? Either we will be beneficial to one another or we won't. handwiting was on the same stuff with the "ghetto" comments about Daley. *sigh* I hope...
