  1. Please post your location in your profile

    Agreed.
  2. Have you been out there before or have family in the area? I have lived there before (not a nurse yet) and there is not much to do LOL. That is why I was asking. You may prefer that of course, I was...
  3. first year... no job...

    Maybe try going a bit farther north of NYC? Westchester, Yonkers, Mt. Vernon? If you don't have a car or don't want to drive MetroNorth can take you many places and you should be able to get to a...
  4. Maybe you'll have to get on public assistance as a last resort? I know people look down on others doing that- I know I wouldn't want to do it myself. But you will be different from the ones riding the...
  5. Why Are They Doing This????????

    I think they want applicants to be afraid, it's probably Step 1 of 'weeding out'. For example- 800 people show up for information. They start off with- 1. We have too many applicants....only 50 of you...
  6. The Nursing Program that Lied

    It must be frustrating to have been told you were accepted and then told you weren't. Hopefully that won't happen to you twice! What are the odds anyway? Despite what you have been told, when you do...
  7. Making it to the One Year Mark

    I'm guessing after 1 year most orientations are over, the new grad nurses are ready to stand on their own (at least without an official preceptor). Also it seems like many aren't even staying in...
  8. Thank you for the encouraging thread. I'm glad you stayed with it. You'll be an incredible nurse. Heck, you are already on your way with those awards and record setting. I hope I can be just as
  9. First real paycheck.....again...

    Cool question. I've been struggling trying to figure out what weekly payments would be approximately. My previous job was in the miltary- I got paid on the 1st & 15th, and it was never broken down...
  10. Poor economy = less applicants?

    I hate to say it, but honestly I hope appliant #'s go down at the schools I want to apply
  11. Suicide. Please, help me right away. Please.

    My ex boyfriend threatened suicide. I was not in the same place as he was and I wasn't even sure if he would, but I decided I didn't want to be responsible if he did. He told me he had a knife to his...
  12. Too far for me to know for sure yet, but I'll certainly buy something nice for my daughter. Whatever she wants that I can afford- I will buy for her. I fantasize about a brand new entry luxury vehicle...
  13. Tattoos and nursing

    Can I wear a clear plastic tongue piercing in nursing school? I think they are called retainers? Flat on the top and a rubber stopper on the bottom. No one will notice it, but I don't know if the...
  14. Nurses who became famous

    The NP who works on the adult movie set probably makes big bucks seeing as the XXX industry generates millions. Seems like a pretty interesting job although it probably gets depressing at times...
  15. dry cracked heels

    Great thread! The vaseline works wonders for me when I slather it on my foot and go to bed. The problem is, a few hours after I put on sandals my feet get white and dry again. Another time I used...
  16. Questions about Diploma Program

    I didn't know it only 1 year from diploma to BSN. That's pretty cool. Would getting an associates be even less time
  17. I know of 5 of them! Nursing is getting to be a popular
  18. Laser Tattoo Removal

  19. Watts School of Nursing?

    If 2 or 3 pre reqs are done at another NC community college- will that be taken into consideration when
  20. New interesting abortion poll

    I support a woman's right to make the choice she believes at the time to be the best
  21. Degree vs Diploma?

    Are diploma educated nurses getting hired along with their ADN/BSN peers? If you go straight into a degree program after passing the NCLEX- will you still be considered a new grad
  22. Ccu/or Rn

    Gotcha! Thanks that makes
  23. Ccu/or Rn

    So I guess it would be best not to sign any contracts until around this time of year in case of additional
  24. Laser Tattoo Removal

    I would rather get mine covered than removed. A great artist can cover almost ANYTHING- make it look even better than
  25. For all the AD RN's out there--Read on!!

    Sounds pretty good. I wish there was a program to go RN to BSN without going into the Reserves. Can you go active after getting your
