    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to JohnWatson's topic in General Nursing

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to bettyboop09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Nurse tech position...advice needed

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to xyra's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is going to be that the hospital isn't going to want to hire you and train you for a tech when they will just have to retrain someone when you graduate. Are you graduating soon? We are...

  13. failed my science courses

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to narditorino's topic in General Students

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to Dakovich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to pixeee's topic in General Nursing

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to coolatta19's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, our employers pitched in but they sponsered our nursing program in exchange for us working for them for 6 years. It was a scholarship type of deal. We paid for our own pins. I would NEVER ask...

  17. Need guidance

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to Dnunez001's topic in General Nursing

    In my part of the woods even 4.0 students have to wait. My suggestion is to retake all your classes and learn from your past study habits. LPN might be the way to go, then you can bridge to

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Doc's can actually get sued for not treating pain. And remember "pain" is wha tthe patient says it is. Not that it's right but one of our doc's said they are backed into a corner when this

  23. University of Portland interview questions

    NewNurseyGirl2009 replied to Tamarcita's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Not only are they wanting to see what your answers are but how you process those questions without preparing. If you prepare by finding out information ahead of time you have an unfair advantage. If...
