    chevyv replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    She sounds drained. It's hard to fight the fight when your feeling so darn low. If you can't fight it head on, then go get that hotel room, turn your cell off, and concentrate on you (which it...

    What's The Deal?

    chevyv replied to busymomof4's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Working as a lpn means you can bridge to rn and your job market has really opened up. I don't think you can bridge if your an MA. Just something to think about. Good luck with whatever you

    OMG!!! I was laughing so hard because I felt the same exact way at 2pm today. I actually looked by my comfy chair for a waste basket just in case I had to puke! I told myself at 86 I was taking a...

    Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    chevyv replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    I understand it's important to inquire about the NCLEX pass rate, but I would want to know how many graduate. I don't know very many students that graduate and just take their boards. Most of us...

    chevyv replied to PACIFICWHALES's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How bizarre! You would think if a place offers tuition reimbursment or retention in the facility, they would place you in a position that you actually acquired your degree in. I can't imagine who...

    chevyv replied to mayflower20's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That depends on you as a student. For me, 1st semester was pretty easy (looking back), but it is very different from any other classes you have ever taken. Testing is much different because your...
