  1. Wow....I got the job!!

    baldee replied to missgigius's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Great Job! Group interviews are stress interviews usually. If so, beware of low-ball offers. YMMV

  2. Warning - excelsior students

    baldee replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Why not go with the flow? There are all kinds of distant learniing in many state schools in almost any state. Why beat your head on a 2x4 and limit your educational time and worth? That's the way it...

  3. Hey guys....How do you all support yourselves?

    baldee replied to Brian 77's topic in Male Nursing Students

    16 tons and what do you get, another day older and deeper in

  4. How're your backs doing guys?

    baldee posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    If the medical profession is anything like the manufacturing industry, not enough ergomic lifts are available. "Lift with your legs", lofl. From reading male and female nurses comments both, back...

  5. I study for an exam and very little of the material is on the actual test

    baldee replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bet the author of this thread got an A. That's how these threads seem to go

  6. I study for an exam and very little of the material is on the actual test

    baldee replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get to know all of your Professors, hopefully before this happens. Its never too late, and believe it or not, its all part of the learning experience. And I too feel your pain. Good

  7. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    baldee replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hee Hee, SAHM's are full-time work with unpaid overtime! I don't know how you Mom's do it. But it gives me a little edge in competition, and I need it

  8. How're your backs doing guys?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm sure they would not mind (or better not mind). But like weight-lifting or on-the-job, be sure you loosen the belt when not using. Otherwise you will depend on it and your small muscles it supports...

  9. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    baldee replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Forgive me, but you people are looking at the wrong end for action. The trend has started for the State's educational protection movement. They are not idiots, and are not going to let technology...

  10. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    baldee replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://tiny.cc/EduRightsAct1974 But Prof's will tell you your rank within class.

  11. How're your backs doing guys?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree, that is a long hard travel path, BUT you have assistance usually for one specified task: material handling. Hospitals have continuous interruptions and crises, which are good chances for...

  12. How're your backs doing guys?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Seriously Shawn, I'd inform your supervisor that you feel you are a victim of Sexual Harassment (or any type of discrimination); and you are asked to jeopardize your spinal alignment (or Chiropractic)...

  13. Confidence

    baldee replied to dnlmiller's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like stated above, learn your material thoroughly. Not just 'the answers', but what are all the possible things that can happen (or go wrong), and how would you respond to each of those circumstances....

  14. A&P book question

    baldee replied to ibucki's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our CC had a A&P I lab manual specifically made up. So that was the ONLY book I bought from campus bookstore last semester for about $55. Thank goodness for A&P II lab manual being on line....

  15. Student Loans

    baldee replied to 2bnursekemmie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No way out of Student Loans, not even Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. But if you go back, they will suspend payment until 6 months after you get out. They work with you very well. Don't sweat the details. Good...

  16. Waking up early again for clinicals

    baldee replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Do like my older brother told me the first day I rode my bike to school at 5 years old, and fell on a curb when a car passed another and came towards me. I hit the sharp corner curb with my forearm,...

  17. agency work / the good bad and ugly of it

    baldee replied to angelwings64's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah, I spent several months testing and preparing for a HHA job that was to go from $13 to $18 in short order. They were bought out and changed it on hiring day to $11/hr, and I said 'no thanks'...

  18. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    baldee replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is going to be a wide range of conditions for everyone. Depending on these conditions, how one presents themselves, and how the school politics is structured, formally and informally, an answer...

  19. Need Help Wife is about to give up

    baldee replied to SimonJester's topic in General Students

    He's coaxing and pushing her like an athletic kid's parent or a ruthless horse owner. If the motivation is not from within, something is missing. Is she going to be the bread winner? Well if that is...

  20. Need Help Wife is about to give up

    baldee replied to SimonJester's topic in General Students

    Don't force fed her A's!! It could be the worse thing possible. Give the lady a break. One should want to go and then they will learn. She will not learn just going for A's and will burn out. I'd...

  21. Financial Aid

    baldee replied to 2bNurseSteph22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice: settle your balances TODAY on the

  22. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    baldee replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    The thought of "on the average" that someone who does fair work in the academics will do excellent work in practice (, better than those who did Excellent in Academics, ) does not seem reasonable. You...

  23. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    baldee replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I think they meant the endless market is getting saturated quickly, and it is going to take more than just an RN license from now on to get a 'real' RN job. Therefore, employers would gladly have RN's...

  24. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    baldee replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, people who were in class July 1, 08 and apply to GA by 12, 31, 20 were ripped off since there was no transition from acceptance to revocation. HOWEVER, they are still banned for new students from...
