  2. Could use some help!

    greygooseuria replied to cec0504's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the MMC class right now and love it. The next info session is Jan 28th for the March class. The TABE test you need to take is offered at 5, before the info session. Good

  3. Problem getting a job in hospital as a new grad?

    greygooseuria replied to cathleenmermaid47's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know any others. The next CNA class would start March 14th I believe, and it takes 11 weeks to finish. HOWEVER after your first semester at USM (which will technically be in the middle of July...

  5. Problem getting a job in hospital as a new grad?

    greygooseuria replied to cathleenmermaid47's topic in General Nursing

    Hey nep, I would consider getting a job as a CNA at Maine Med like I am going to because that gets your foot in the door. Also, your clinicals will do so as well as your practicum if you go to USM and...

  6. Relocating from California?

    greygooseuria replied to HisAlone's topic in General Nursing

    LPNs are basically the RNs in assisted living facilities out here. RNs usually aren't hired in hospitals. Maybe it was just the east coast attitude you experienced? You'll find more oppurtunities in...

  7. ? Moving to Canada ?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in International Nursing

    So I think I may want to move to Toronto after I graduate with my BSN. I have a question... How hard is it to immigrate to Canada from the US? I speak some French, but I won't have any work experience...

  8. Gpa 2.73

    greygooseuria replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Students

    I am going to be honest here: After my first three semesters at a 4 year private college in Boston, I had a 2.58. Why? Because I didn't care. When I transferred and majored in something I LIKED, I...

  9. BSN preferred?

    greygooseuria replied to Triple A's's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with NYDreamer. It says it is preferred, not required. I have found that personality can get you a job easy. I have a BA in sociology and worked at a financial service firm knowing NOTHING...

  10. BSN preferred?

    greygooseuria replied to Triple A's's topic in New York Nursing

    It means exactly what it says: A BSN is preferred. If you have an ASN, you can still be hired, but a person with a BSN will be given

  11. Anyone trying for a 2nd degree?

    greygooseuria replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! So many sociology people here. I got my BA in sociology in May 2006, and will be starting an ABSN program this May. I'm so

  12. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the problem CIGNA is going to come into is that they later approved it during protests. They pretty much screwed themselves. If it were truly experimental, they would not have changed their...

  13. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Uhm. Ok. I am going to try really hard here. First, we work to get paid to support ourselves and our family, not to make a profit. At the end of the year, do you look at your bank account and say "I...

  14. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    jeo, in case you hadn't read my posts, I have also worked for an insurance company and disagree with everything you've said. I've seen SiCKO and most of it is true. Maybe it is not we who are wrong,...

  15. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To make the assumption that insurance companies aren't in this for profit is very, very misinformed and using clouded judgment, or that someone has a vested interest in insurance companies doing well....

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  17. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I guess living is something only the rich can afford! Had this been a celebrity, they would have been able to get the transplant in the blink of an

  18. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Also, after working at an insurance company, I have seen some horrid things. Claims get denied for NO reason and a member will not find out about it until their doc tells them about it, and it may be...

  19. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    greygooseuria replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't believe some of the insensitivity here. A CHILD DIED. C'mon people!!! I worked for a very prominent insurance company and quit because of stuff like this. I had to tell a woman that her liver...

    greygooseuria posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  22. GPA's of accepted applicants.

    greygooseuria replied to joeld311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    University of Southern Maine says they require a 3.0GPA for their accelerated BSN program. My science GPA was a 4.0 and my overall GPA was a 3.79. I actually think requirements to get into nursing...

    greygooseuria replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
