What does your sex have to do with any of this?

I get holiday pay for Easter, but we have a Catholic affiliation. They are self-insured and don't cover my OC pills, so I figure it evens out. There are bigger fish to fry in this world, and I am suprised this issue even came up. No one I know gets p...

What part of AZ? If you are in Northern AZ, I am not suprised at all, due to the total disorganization of the Flagstaff hospital. Could you look into the Phoenix area? Sorry, I re-read this a realized you are in Scottsdale.

I'm not even accepted yet, but I keep telling myself "my dreams have no expiration date." I will keep on trucking and applying to different schools.

I'll second that Denver suggestion. The lightrail system is a real conveinence, and will get you downtown much faster than a car ever would. There are lots of nice, moderately priced homes (I mean moderately priced for CO) along the lightrail route,...

Sunset87- could you post a link for that school?

If you are the short training program is what is attracting you to MA, I would try to get into an LPN program instead, since it is the same amount of time. It is often more challenging, but I don't think you will regret your decision. As an MA, you ...

One of my questions on a 2nd degree application is "why this school?" My first thought was "What do you mean why? I'm applying to every freakin school in a 90 min radius and you guys are on the radar." This response is of course not going on my app,...

this is a question for my research class, which is one of my pre-reqs. what are some [color=#006666]outstanding researchers in your field, and what is the focus of their work? i started randomly searching through nursing journals, and found some ...

I think this is the result of SON's admitting students by GPA. Many (not all) of the students with the 4.0's required to get in are so focused on book knowledge, that they are completely lacking in common sense. How do you measure common sense for a...

Honey, you have to do what makes you happy. Don't live you life according to what your BF wants, or for your parents sake. If you want to follow your BF, do it and don't look back. Good luck!

Please forgive me for this long post, but I feel like I need to tell a brief synopsis of my life story to get the best advice. I am a student who has repeatedly been denied admission to nursing school, despite being consistently on the dean's list, v...

I now work for a nursing home, but would like to transfer to a hospital within the same company. I keep submitting applications and resumes, and the hospital keeps sending me reject E-mails, saying they chose someone with better qualifications. Bet...

What traditional schools are in Des Moines then? Thanks.

I am a US student who has repeatedly been denied admission to nursing school, despite being consistently on the dean's list, volunteering, working as a CNA, and obtaining another degree. The sole purpose of me getting a degree in another area was to ...

I have a prior BS degree. I am looking at accelerated BSN programs that are about 13-15 months in length as well as traditional upper-division programs that are two years in length. If felt it made more sense to go right for the BSN since I already h...

I wasn't implying that med-surg CNA's and nurses are the only ones that do real patient care, I was just responding to someone who directly said they don't do patient care. I didn't infer anything. I didn't want to insult anyone or add to the hostil...

What if you live and work in different states, both of which are compact states?

My LTC center does not have a urine smell, but we have a strict policy that trash must be empied and the bag tied off at least once per shift, or as soon as a soiled brief goes in it. We also bag off all linens soiled or not. All the bags go into a ...

I was thinking about taking a medication aide course, so that I could get an introduction to meds before I reach nursing school, and hopefully make a little more money since I would be qualified to pass meds. I was wondering if it would be worth my t...

No, I would think they would sooner give adequate funding to nursing schools so they can expand and let people without 4.0's in, and eliminate 2 year waitlists. There would be no nursing shortage if everyone with at least a 3.0 was given a shot to b...

I have wanted to be a nurse since 16. After being denied admission to one one school, I was advised that I should get a degree in another area, b/c I would be a "shoe-in" for a 2nd degree program. No luck there either, still applying to schools, work...

That's exactly where I am! I got a degree in another area to be a 2nd degree applicant and didn't get in. Now all I have is a degree that prevents me from recieving government grants becuase I already have a 4 year deree. Sheesh!

I hate to a booger, but how did he know you were a nurse just by your uniform? Not all people who work in a hosital who wear scrubs are nurses.
