  3. No blood and guts;cut out to be an RN?

    Casey, RN replied to its1mc's topic in General Nursing

    I second what GrnTea said. I also am not one for blood and guts, and that concerned me when I decided to pursue Nursing, but I made it through nursing school without seeing anything too terrible -...

  4. Resume help plz, civiliian army nurse position

    Casey, RN replied to EDRNinDC's topic in General Nursing

    Did you use the resume builder on usajobs? They want much more detail than what you'd include in a civilian resume. A civilian resume is typically 1 page, however, the federal could be anywhere from...

    Casey, RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Has anyone used this book, "Nursing Board Busters?" http://www.nursingboardbusters.com/ I can't find any reviews about it.

  6. Used "Nursing Board Busters" book?

    Casey, RN replied to Casey, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the review, Julie. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I have Saunders and am looking into Kaplan, as well. I've signed up to do the Hurst review after graduation but I got an email...

  7. 2 job offers..2 very different jobs..very unsure of how to proceed - advice??

    Casey, RN replied to Marshall1's topic in Nursing Career

    I just read your post and I kind of felt like you answered your own question with these statements: Position 2: "Honestly, the only benefit I see to this position is the money." and "My personal...

    Casey, RN replied to ashleighannb's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is deployed right now and I'm in my 2nd year of nursing school and have a 6 year old in 1st grade. My son has a lot more homework this year so that's been more difficult - keeping up with...

  9. Nursing school sucks!

    Casey, RN replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    You shouldn't discourage others based on your experience. I happen to be in a nursing school with instructors who aren't witches and who genuinely care about us. It can be a little disorganized at...

  10. Could employers judge people by their names?

    Casey, RN replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I wonder if the same goes for people with who have names that are more often used for the opposite sex. For instance, a guy named Kelly or Shannon? Or a girl named Charli or Alex. I never really...

  11. Working around the Charlotte/Mooresville/ or Fayetteville area

    Casey, RN replied to moedoe's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I can't speak about the pay, as I'm still a student, but I live in Fayetteville and if I had a choice (I don't, my husband is military) I'd choose Charlotte over Fayetteville. It's a bigger city...

  12. Fayetteville Nurses

    Casey, RN replied to Mrs.Bre's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I had 93 points when I was accepted but I think some were accepted that had high 70s. The number of people accepted will be dependent on how many slots they have. If they have 90 then the top 90...

    Casey, RN replied to Mrs.Bre's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Technically yes, the high school courses are the only pre-reqs required, however the program is so competitive that students are admitted based on the number of courses they completed that are...

    Casey, RN replied to Mrs.Bre's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The program is being completely revamped starting this year so I can only speak for my class. I believe there were about 103 accepted. You can only apply once a year - in January for the program...

  16. PSA Healthcare

    Casey, RN replied to goodstudentnowRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    My sister-in-law works for PSA and she's gets paid very well (compared to the local hospital)--twice as much, in fact, and she doesn't do housework, etc... She didn't have trach experience aside from...

  17. strange curiosity regarding nursing titles/credentials

    Casey, RN replied to magnolia3957's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of along the same lines, my question is... does anyone know the proper way to list the titles? For instance, I'll have a BS and MHR (Master of Human Relations) and then I'll be adding on my RN...

  21. Fayetteville anyone?

    Casey, RN replied to Casey, RN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    What I was told was that they would notate that you're enrolled in it but you cannot get any points towards admissions because it's not complete. All you get points for are the classes (on the list)...

    Hi! Nice to meet you! I am taking Micro right now and so far it's been pretty easy...Much easier than A&P I. I'm taking CIS113 this Fall (which is still because I know a great deal about...

  23. Fayetteville anyone?

    Casey, RN replied to Casey, RN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'll have to check into that. I stress way too easy and worry way too much! I'm sure plenty of nurses have children and it all works out. Childcare wouldn't even be an issue if it weren't for the...
