1. First nursing school tests, how did you do?

   wazeout replied to JLChasteen's topic in General Students

   Congrats to all of you for passing the 1st test. I just had my very first test this past tues. and I received a 92% grade average. I was surprised, because I thought that I would be in the low 80's. I missed two lecture classes, and was still acclima...

2. What is the fate of the new graduate RN?

   wazeout replied to Aubrianna's topic in General Nursing

   Can you validate your suspicions, because right now you only sound paranoid. Besides, a person has to graduate from an approved, accredited program before they can take the nclex, and they have to pass that exam before becomming an RN. So, your above...

3. Not hired if you smoke?

   wazeout replied to havehope's topic in General Nursing

   You know, I was originally upset about the whole ban on smoking in public places thing--not the hospitals and stores and offices etc., but mostly about the ban in bars and casinos. I still feel that an owner of a place should and could if they wanted...

4. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

   wazeout replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

   I thought you said that the VA and your employer pays for your college. Which is it? Donyou have money and pay for your own college or do you use the financial aid/educational benefits (which of course you've earned if a veteran) of the VA to pay for...

5. Textbook nursing vs. real world nursing.

   wazeout replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

   I can understand what you're saying from a "dip your toe in the water" approach to see if you can deal with the environment of healthcare, but saying that YOU know people "with little to no patient care experience" will not be a good fit for a nursi...

   take Movakel for A&P, he's a good teacher.

8. Is anyone getting into nursing programs with a realistic GPA?

   wazeout replied to Era324's topic in Washington

   Not to sound snarky, but if you just graduated high school, then you probably haven't lived long enough to know the difference between passion and desire. However, deciding on a career path at a young age is a good thing and should be applauded, but ...

9. Convicted felons and nursing

   wazeout replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

   I hear where your coming from OP, but would like to encourage you to, and all others, to take a look at PBS FRONTLINE: The Plea. It's an eye opener! IMHO, I think, besides sexual predators, the worst criminals to healthcare are the greedy finacial c...

10. Staff becoming institutionalized?

    wazeout replied to Supercandy131's topic in Correctional

    Although I can understand where you're coming from, I disagree with this statement, because we all can and have felt frustrated with the bureaucracy of organizations, which feel exactly like the "man is hold'n you down," and in many cases that is exa...

11. Math is killing me!

    wazeout replied to ncbeachmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The math for nursing is so easy. The only math you will ever really need for dosage calculations is very basic elementary algebra, and that is basically fractions and multiplications in the form of dimensional analysis. K,H,D,U,D,C,M can be used with...

12. why is LVN jobs is hard to find?

    wazeout replied to bverdevn's topic in LPN/LVN

    I believe it, and its probably why Washington state doesn't recognize LVN's from California.

13. Should I just suck it up and take out loans for a private school?

    wazeout replied to supremekizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You should look at PBS Frontline's report online about for-profit schools called "College Inc." and then check out the other report called "Educating Sergeant Pantke." These two investigative reports are a must see for anybody considering taking this...

14. Seriously considering dropping nursing school for medical school?

    wazeout replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    Why not do both, that is get your RN and work and go back to school to become a physician. The hospital you work at may even help you out.
