    cokeforbreakfast replied to SuperNova153's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went through an accelerated program and I don't believe any of my classmates had under a 3.5, and the majority were much higher. That said, my program did give more weight to GPA in the prerequisite...

  2. Ethical dilema? Yes/No? What to do?

    cokeforbreakfast replied to GoECU's topic in General Nursing

    cokeforbreakfast replied to MSHAH647's topic in General Nursing

  7. Question about Applying for Multiple RN Positions in the Same Hospital

    cokeforbreakfast replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    cokeforbreakfast replied to kamperoo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, HM2VikingRN! I've been watching the VA sites regularly, but I didn't even know they HAD a nurse residency program. I went to your link and it turns out they also have a lot of options for...

  9. Thinking of moving to MN

    cokeforbreakfast replied to kamperoo's topic in General Nursing

    As a lifelong resident, I'll say MN is lovely and a great place to live!!! As a new (Dec. 09) grad, it is a tough market. I have prior HC experience, multiple degrees, fantastic grades, and I'm having...

    cokeforbreakfast replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    cokeforbreakfast replied to cokeforbreakfast's topic in General Nursing

    I am trying not to get discouraged, but it's difficult. When I think "nursing shortage" I think "not enough nurses to fill open positions." It has been my experience this is simply not the case....

    cokeforbreakfast replied to Zookeeper44's topic in General Nursing

    I agree they are a useful, occassional, non-addicitive tool that can be safely used to deal with stressful situations. I tend toward hypotension/syncope anyway, and atenolol has been a great tool to...
