  1. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    lizmatt replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    when does your letter have to be in? How long do you have to wait for the

  2. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    lizmatt replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    wow - i used to enjoy this thread, but it has become very hostile. As a barely passing (med surg that is A's in everything else) student who studies like crazy I am really offended by some of these...

  3. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    lizmatt replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    i am sorry I am not really saying to take blame - but I think it is helpful to say that you had a role in failing and it is not just because of depression. In my experience it is somewhat off-putting...

  4. Passed my last Final! I'm Graduating!

    lizmatt replied to NewenglandMSNRNBC's topic in General Students

    Congrats!!! you must feel relieved. I hope to post something similar come Wednesday - I'm borderline though and stressing stressing

  5. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    lizmatt replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    I think it really depends on your school. Some schools are better than others about allowing appeals. The semester I failed one class, they allowed 5 other people who had to appeal return (I did not...

  6. Oh! The sacrifices we make just to get through nursing school

    lizmatt replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Ugh, I don't even want to think about it but: - the man I wanted to marry - together for 4 years, he was actually supportive for the most part but I think being priority #3 in my life got to him...

  7. Why does sleep deprivation have to be a part of my LPN training?

    lizmatt replied to username44's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I totally agree with you. I was unable to get everything out of clinical that I needed to because of sleep deprivation. My school has come a long way in this though, I think for this very reason....

  8. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    lizmatt replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I also graduate in May and cannot find a job - toying with the idea of moving, but as time goes by the areas that are hiring seem to disappear. So as of right now is Texas pretty much the best (only)...

  9. School Advisor says I shouldn't work???

    lizmatt replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    It really depends on what other responsibilities you have. I have two kids and work 15 hours a week and don't think I could handle any more as it is a bit of a puzzle now. But, without kids or other...

  10. 39 days

    lizmatt replied to bsugar888's topic in General Students

    Mine is exactly the same as OP .... 39 days till last final!!! pinned on 5/15, graduate 5/16 I can't wait! If I could only find a job - I would feel a lot

  11. Getting first nursing job in this economy

    lizmatt replied to cameron764's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on where you are. I graduate in May and have been applying since November with no success. I have applied to at least 15 hospitals and have had 2 interviews. One hosp. said def....

  12. Tired of NS!!

    lizmatt replied to ange26s's topic in General Students

    I am so glad you posted this --- I am so tired of nursing school too. 82 days till graduation, but I am not sure I can handle it. I am tired of being made to feel stupid all of the time. (and I think...

  13. Trouble with getting a job

    lizmatt replied to fxg002's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I feel as if a lot of hospitals are not sure what they are doing as far as new grads are concerned. They may need nurses, but just don't have the budgets to train new grads. I am looking basically...

  14. Hrsa 08-09 Nursing Scholarship

    lizmatt replied to geteducated123's topic in General Students

    As far as I can remember they send a W-2, and I don't remember it taking very long to get. Definitely by the end of January. Remember to add any tuition they paid though (not as income but reported...

  15. Christiana Care Internships for new Grads

    lizmatt replied to NEWRNDE's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question - from looking at these posts over the last year or so Christiana has not been hiring many new grads. Has this changed at all? I see they are having a new grad expo at the end of...

  16. When to apply for a job??

    lizmatt replied to rofo4life's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    As far as I can tell, now is the perfect time to apply. Though, I have found that some hospitals in PA that usually hire now are unsure about the #of new grad positions they will have for May because...

  17. Buying old editions of books?

    lizmatt replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I do it all the time. I take it as a gamble. I go ahead and spend the couple of bucks for the older version and the couple of times that it was too hard to use the old version - I just go ahead and...

  18. Gearing up for next semester : )

    lizmatt replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I am so ready for classes to start! Last Semester!! Funny that a 2 weeks ago I was so looking forward to break and now I want it to be over. My professors must think I am crazy because I log on to...

  19. I want to become a RN, how would being a CPhT be an advantage?

    lizmatt replied to bound4nursing's topic in General Nursing

    Should help you in pharm class - for sure. I did the opposite and my nursing schooling really helped me become a pharmacy tech. I needed a job this past summer, and I got one as a pharmacy tech at a...

  21. Are There Any Sorority Women Here?

    lizmatt replied to UjonesRN's topic in General Students

    Alpha Sigma (local sorority) for first time around undergrad. Would not be able to do nrs school and sorority at same time - I would either fail nrs school or have everyone in sorority hate me for not...

  22. Finised ONe full year of nursing school now how do I get my CNA!!!!!!!

    lizmatt replied to Orthonurse's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on your state. In PA, you have to take the certification test (as I would assume to be a certified nursing assistant in any state you would need to do) But, as a nursing student...
