    Some states require that the damage be willful in order to make the employee pay for

  11. Did I ruin my chances of getting in?

    2011NursingStudent replied to Curlygirl9195's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school requires that the science only be no older than 5 years. You may find that maybe your Bio won't be good, but all of the others will still be good. One or two repeats shouldn't be too

  12. I am losing my mind the wait is killing me

    2011NursingStudent replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ My school requires above a 70% in everything and will take the highest. They only consider Math and Science and I got an 82.2% in Math and an 83.3% in Science. I'm really hoping that's good enough...

    2011NursingStudent replied to crownemarie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    2011NursingStudent replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Is anybody a Red Cross CPR Instructor?

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    The instructor certification is just for regular CPR, right? Do you then still have to take another class yourself to get CPR for Healthcare Providers certified for your job or school? I know my...

    2011NursingStudent replied to scrubbee's topic in Nursing Informatics

  17. Scholorships for moms

    2011NursingStudent replied to redneckprincess23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    2011NursingStudent replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Again - Federal Law prohibits what you are saying - you are saying that "the hospital does not owe her a job just because she was hired" ---- YES. It DOES. Because pregnancy CANNOT be a factor in...

  19. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    2011NursingStudent replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pregnant women have rights. If people don't believe they have rights, there are attorneys that will enforce those rights. That is the point I am trying to make - that women have rights and a means to...

    2011NursingStudent replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's not sad at all, its ridiculous that mothers still have to fear for their jobs because of ignorant people who don't recognize the value of women in the workplace, and women should be aware of...

  21. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    2011NursingStudent replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    2011NursingStudent replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. Should I Tell My Dream Hospital That I'm Pre-Nursing?

    2011NursingStudent replied to Jingles39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't, for the reasons you've stated - I would just make the case for why you'll make a great medical assistant in that position. That's what they're really concerned with. If they ask about your...

  24. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    2011NursingStudent replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    2011NursingStudent replied to Mrssaba806's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm switching from IT/Network Admin - just like accounting and IT, the jobs go up and down. One year we've been in high demand, the next not so much. I really think in 2014 things will have picked up,...
