    egomaniacal1 replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Students

    Absolutely! I recommend Underwater basket weaving 101. But take the class all the idiots are in, LOL! Seriously, I was in the same boat as you a few semesters. That being said, please ignore what all...

  3. Low GPA, chances of NP?

    egomaniacal1 replied to NCcardiacNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to police other peoples posts but I really feel like people need to either actually KNOW an answer or research their answers before they give them out as fact. Very few programs require...

  4. Low GPA, chances of NP?

    egomaniacal1 replied to NCcardiacNurse's topic in General Nursing

    With respect to your post and without knowledge to your geographical location...this simply isn't true. Most programs will state the graduate nursing school boiler-plate, "..a minimum undergraduate...

  5. What The Bleep Happened To The Shortage?

    egomaniacal1 replied to Pedinurse888's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I sensed neither negativety or animosity in your post. Further, I agree with you in principle. However, you are speaking to a different topic. I agree that local staffing shortages often occur 'on...

    egomaniacal1 replied to Pedinurse888's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Valerie, forgive me because I agree with you so often, but here you are just wrong. There is a nursing shortage. The last count conducted there were 126,000 unfilled nursing positions in the US....

  9. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    egomaniacal1 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lowering standards does not benefit anyone. Flame away. Our entire society is about lowering standards. That's what we do. We invent reasons to lower the bar. I for one don't care how flamed I get on...

  10. Pain is subjective?

    egomaniacal1 replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand your concern and even empathize with you. However, we are taught that pain is considered the 5th vital sign and it is whatever the patient says it is. Now before you cast me aside,...

  11. Strike Nursing

    egomaniacal1 replied to TravelingBSNRN's topic in Travel

    If you have a high previous GPA say 3.3 or higher, you should look into UNC Greensboro's nursing program. I just graduated. It is an excellent school. In fact, it was one of the three schools selected...
