  2. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    cobee replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really think there's a nursing school crisis in CA, just a job crisis. I got accepted into a program based on GPA the first time I applied there. I know there are a lot of lottery based...

  6. Who pays your salary?

    cobee replied to adam56's topic in General Nursing

    I can assume that the OP is asking about being an LPN because there's at least SOME interest. Notice OP didn't go to a trucker forum, or one about money making. I myself don't have any angelic...

    cobee replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    cobee replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

  13. What type of lifestyle can a nurse afford?

    cobee replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    You can certainly afford it if you spend and save your money well. Find out the average wage in your area and put it through paycheckcity.com. I use x36 hrs/week just for estimating purposes. Then,...

  14. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    cobee posted a topic in General Students

    The Sac City grading scale thread got me wondering what the cut off percentages are for different schools. At my school your exam scores must average 72% or over. 71.9 is a failing grade. What about...

    cobee replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

  17. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    cobee replied to cobee's topic in General Students

    Some of those programs sound insane! I do agree that it's a bit unfair to cut out students that could probably pass the NCLEX just because they couldn't make an 80%. Now I feel very lucky to be my...

  18. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    cobee replied to cobee's topic in General Students

  19. Is it the time for Nursing School?

    cobee replied to glitterMind's topic in General Nursing

    It might give you a slight edge depending on the hospital, but in the beginning of your career, there isn't much of a difference between an ADN and a BSN. BSNs can advance to management positions and...

    cobee replied to msrosebud28's topic in Nursing Career

    If you really want to, I say go for it! It's funny, during my pre-reqs I met a lady who was a RDH and was going for her RN because she was disssatisfied with the pay. If I were in your shoes, I would...

  21. Do you wear mostly solids or prints?

    cobee replied to cobee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    What do you think of the more fashiony tops like floral or geometric patterns? I'm leaning towards solids in dark colors but I do like light pinks and blues but I'm afraid of those colors staining too...

    cobee replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students
