  1. Did/does Anyone Work while doing ABSN?

    whodatnurse replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in General Students

    Oh, I see. Wow...I'm SO jealous. That's the way to do it, IMHO. I hope they become a model for other

  2. Finally leaving floor nursing after 17 years THANK GOD !!!

    whodatnurse replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Seventeen years of that is some foundation! May it open many more doors to you in the

  3. Did/does Anyone Work while doing ABSN?

    whodatnurse replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in General Students

    You entire nursing program is then...just 8 classes? In my ABSN program we had one class that was taught by itself for 2 weeks in January. I often had said that I wished the entire program was set up...

  4. Shenandoah 2nd Degree and Midwifery Programs

    whodatnurse replied to FlowerFlour's topic in Virginia Nursing

    After my last post I became curious about what exactly the nurse midwife situation in Virginia was. Here's a link I found to a blog by a VA woman who had wanted to give birth at home:...

  5. Shenandoah 2nd Degree and Midwifery Programs

    whodatnurse replied to FlowerFlour's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hi. I'm not familiar with Shenandoah University's nursing programs, but I just wanted to add that you may want to check out George Washington University's accelerated BSN program. Their first class...

  6. Psych nurses over 60

    whodatnurse replied to sayitgirl's topic in Psychiatric

    You would have reached a receptive audience had you presented your idea for discussion as something like "nurses with seniority who've become complacent and now want to operate on cruise...

  7. Psych nurses over 60

    whodatnurse replied to sayitgirl's topic in Psychiatric

    Your "these responses must be from the over 60 group" comment comes across as rather snide to me, not to mention

  8. Maybe it's time we "New Grads" finally mobilized?

    whodatnurse replied to BeatDownNewGrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Count me in for a Million New Grad Nurses March on Washington, D.C.! If nothing else, it would put a rest once and for all to that widespread notion that as a nurse, "you can ALWAYS get a job."

  9. Postpone nclex?

    whodatnurse replied to super_butterfly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would encourage you to go on Friday and just DO it. I'll forewarn you that many, if not most, people leave feeling SURE they failed, so be prepared for that (but don't drive yourself crazy longer...

  10. Awaiting my results.

    whodatnurse replied to JordanB's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah. Go do it NOW. I drove myself crazy for 4 DAYS until I came on here and found out about it...and would have gone another 4 had I not. Nobody seems to have had it go one of the two ways and...

  11. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    whodatnurse replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know ('cause I wasn't there) if she was taking a little dig at you or was simply clueless about how she came across...but I would just let it roll off my back if I were you. A neat thing...

  12. Any recent grads/current accelerated BSN students at GMU?

    whodatnurse replied to julesjmf's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hi. I wasn't coming down on your wondering about having a day off. It was my humorous attempt to warn you what it REALLY means if anyone tells you that you have a day 'off'. A day 'off' = You...

  13. Any recent grads/current accelerated BSN students at GMU?

    whodatnurse replied to julesjmf's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You will NEVER have a day 'off'. You may have no classes scheduled on a given day...but you will NEVER have a day 'off'. You may make the choice to fuggedabout everything for ONE day as part of an...

  14. 50, Single, and Starting Nursing School in August - Can It Be Done?

    whodatnurse replied to Emptynstr2's topic in General Students

    Wow! As a 47 yo single person in the final four weeks of a 1-year accelerated BSN program (who hasn't had a single weekend's 'break' since mid-January), I can't even imagine having thrown a full time...

  15. Do you snitch on cheaters?

    whodatnurse replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Ditto! And I just want to add that while there may be an abundant supply of succeed-at-all-costs types running around, I'm glad to know there ARE folks out there who place a higher value on personal...

  16. Do you snitch on cheaters?

    whodatnurse replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    My way of handling this is to tell an instuctor, "You really need to get some additional proctors in there." They usually get another person or two and seat them at the rear of the room. I even had...

  17. Is this for me?

    whodatnurse replied to Kasey77's topic in General Students

    I'm afraid chronic exhaustion is pretty much par for the course with an accelerated program. If I had REALLY understood what I was agreeing to...I think I might have opted to do this over a longer...

  18. new student, not what it seems.

    whodatnurse replied to ddr436's topic in General Students

    "i do not think nursing school is as hard as everyone makes it seem." "I think people exagerate a lot.' Well...since you don't seem to understand how you might be coming across...I'll venture a guess...

  19. interview for two new grad psych jobs

    whodatnurse replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Awesome and congrats!!! I hope I'm as lucky as you when I finish school 4 months from now. I've been talking to quite a few nurses lately who went straight into psych right after getting their...

  20. Med/Surg to Psych

    whodatnurse replied to chrisg0705's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm doing my clinical rotation in psych right now. I'm fairly certain that's the specialty area I want to pursue and I had been struggling with just wanting to get started with what I really want to...

  21. Nursing-A second carrer at 50!

    whodatnurse replied to FirstChoiceLast's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add that your extensive experience in fiscal management would come in particularly handy if you're at all interested in pursuing public health nursing as a specialty. Good

  22. Anybody please recommend a region of the country in great shortage of nurses?

    whodatnurse replied to mitcornsus's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a link to an AP article from 4 days ago. They need nurses in Milwaukee:

  23. Med/Surg to Psych

    whodatnurse replied to chrisg0705's topic in Psychiatric

    Wow...I'll be very interested to read your replies. I would think you would be a hot commodity for a psych position. I'm graduating in July and I too am particularly interested in a career in psych...

  24. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    whodatnurse replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    Fort Worth - I like how you think! Sounds like you and your wife are having a blast. I too got fed up with the insane demands of corporate life and said bye-bye to all that nonsense. This past August,...

  25. 80% ABSN tuition scholarships to G'town

    whodatnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just got an email from Georgetown about this. Sounds like a good deal if you live around DC or want to move there. (G'town's tuition is pretty hefty.) If you agree to work for Washington Hospital...
