    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    We call it a "front hiney" and a "back hiney". I'm gonna have to break it to her soon (she's 6). I just hate that 'v' word. It's a very strong word. For little boys I think it's easier. member...

    Mom trying to talk me out of nursing

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

    Maybe nursing isn't for me

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very good point. I did not know how to study. I treid to memorize, not necessarily trying to understand. You need to understand, b/c if you draw a blank b/c you don't remember, you need to rely on...

    Any advice to offer me

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to fishchick72's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Welcokme. My advice: get as much nursing experience as you can. what I mean is, try to get a good variety of experience. This makes you more marketable. Recently, I've seen a few ads that ask for...

    Maybe nursing isn't for me

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i'd hardly call you a nursing school dropout at this point. let's assess: your first pre-nursing class? was this your first college class? even if it isn't, this material is prob. like nothing...

    You mean w/ your resume?? I can understand that (if you sent thaem out with yor reasons for leaving as you stated). Not sure what that is, but it sounds like a good idea. You are most probably...

    Frustrated and still angry!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to kwagner_51's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not understanding this. Do you mean 90 day probation? That sounds like you were fired. The question you need to know (which would give you the answer), is are you 'eligible for rehire'?...

    career advice

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to FLAgal14's topic in Nursing Career

    This is definitely a common way to reach your goal. With your prior education, you should be able to get thru rather quickly. But beware of the accelerated degree route. Some feel it is too quick,...

    Owe Taxes=loose License?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to LADYSUN818's topic in General Nursing

    Before they take your license away, they would start to deduct the $$ from your paycheck (Income execution). This is the case in NY, as I almost had it happen to me, thanks to my almost ex, who has...
