    2.5 gpa hello will i get into nursing school

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to shasaynee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a tough concept to grasp for many. I know it sounds harsh, but you are absolutely right. The job world is becoming more and more competitive, in all professions. Having a degree and license...

    Help me bring this into the public!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am here just to express my opinion, not to get into a debate. I'm expressing my opinion because it is not the popular one here. I just heard on the news (unless this is "old news" already) that she...

    stinky patient pet peeve

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    If your username indicates your region, I can attest that it is not a regional thing. It may be what your school, or your particular instructor deems as an appropriate assignment. But in said region,...

    New grad nurse looking for some guidance

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Obviously everyone's opinions differ in this case. I would have maybe gone on the interview for the experience. I've been on many an interview where it never ended up in a job offer. So it wouldn't...

    Nursing school is killing me

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to IDKanything's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm also dying to know what the crayons and tape are for! I'm all for alternate forms of learning, but I thought that buying crayons for my child through middle school was a bit odd. As for group...

    I want to quit 4 months in

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Nonetheless's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I felt that way when I worked nights. I get it. It stinks!! Not for everyone though, some people love the night shift, or just accept the fact that they have to do it for family reasons. And I hate...

    Student Uniforms

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lepew's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My students wear all white. By fourth (or fifth) semester, they are dingy . They are required to wear a specific uniform top (which they complain about) and pants (also yields complaints). Honestly,...

    Summers off?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to sometimesagreat...'s topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have summers off. I work in a community college. It is part of our union contract. In my area, the state/city college faculty have summers off. Anyone who teaches summer classes get extra pay (not...

    What gives??!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lecavalier4's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You need documented and verified teaching hours to sit for the exam. I forgot exactly how many, but at least the equivalent of a years full time (maybe more, can't

    What gives??!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lecavalier4's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That is really unfortunate. Did you not have to complete a practicum (student-teaching hours)? The problem is, you may not get much of an orientation in a new job. Not sure how you should approach...

    What gives??!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lecavalier4's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It sounds to me like it is likely a combination of many factors that is leading to your inability to find a job. The fact that you are unable to teach clinicals is a huge factor: (while I don't live...

    fail

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to danlee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Young man (I'm not sure why I am assuming you are a man), you need to ask your school why you are failing. Your instructor, your course coordinate and your chairperson should be involved in this...

    Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    This is the mentality that irks me so much lately, the college = success mentality. Yes, commuter, you are a success. And yes, I agree, that the world is full of very necessary jobs that do not...

    Second time around: what did you do differently?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in General Students

    I'm looking for some students (or former, that are now nurses) to help me help my students who have to repeat their nursing classes. The reason I am asking for your help is because.... you guessed...

    I Want To Be A Nurse, But My Grades Aren't Competitive. Help!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to TheCommuter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do agree with this too. The problem is, is often difficult to discern who has this and who does not. I have been on admissions committees in more than one school, and have anectodals about students...

    2 year degree?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SeanPN777's topic in Nursing Career

    If I knew where MUSC was, I'd be able to answer better. You really need to see if getting a job as an AD prepared nurse is feasible in your area. If the opportunities are limited now, they will be...

    Extreme hardships...but still dreaming of becoming a nurse

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to proverb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to give you my honest opinion, since that's what I'm assuming you want. No one but you can answer this question. And it's not a realistic question to ask yourself right now. I have know...

    St. Pauls School of Nursing FALL 2013

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Dom25's topic in New York Nursing

    How could they almost lose their accreditation if they never had their accreditation? And almost every school/program requires a math calculation exam so students do NOT kill patients. If a student...

    Totally discouraged by clinicals

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to KellyMLS's topic in General Students

    Many of the replies by the seasoned nurses were very good, but it chose to quote this one, because to me (as an instructor), this is what I expect primarily from my students (and the things they often...

    Mandatory flu shots????

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know there is a lot more that people are arguing about here, but I'd like to address the issue of employees rights. I see so many posts here about how unfair employers are by making us do things we...

    Mandatory flu shots????

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, in your institution, only the nurses are being required to take the shot? Hmmm... Yeah, that seems
