  1. Just enrolled Excelsior BSN program

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well I just called to drop out. They won't accept any of the transfer credits that I had for my ASN, and they want me to take an additional 25 credits. I don't have the time or money for that, and...

  2. Concerned about LS3!!!!

    SweettartRN replied to SHARWELL's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LS3 was the hardest for me by far. The muskuloskeletal part was the hardest for me because I had absolutely no interest in it.

  3. Email resignation?

    SweettartRN replied to livingonadream's topic in General Nursing

    Last I checked most places only allow persons to give date of hire date of separation and whether they are eligible for rehire or not. People worry so much about giving the employer two weeks notice...

  4. To get the flu shot, or not to get the flu shot...

    SweettartRN replied to jordansnapp's topic in General Nursing

    It's your body and your choice. I have never had a flu shot and never will. If you don't feel you need one, then you probably

  5. How does quitting without notice really look?

    SweettartRN replied to inProgress's topic in General Nursing

    I personally am not big on offering 2 weeks. At-will employment means that and 9 times out of 10 these days as soon as you hand in two weeks, you are asked to leave. If you think you can't make it,...

  6. How soon we forget.

    SweettartRN replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh yes. I also wanted to add this. To those who complain about those who can't pay. I have seen many a person have their credit ruined by high cost unexpected ER visits. There is a consequence...

  7. How soon we forget.

    SweettartRN replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow. Lower premiums for all? Where? Everyone I know has seen their premiums increase since this bill passed a year ago. I don't want the government telling me that I have to do something with my own...

  8. wearing makeup to work?

    SweettartRN replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    I do not walk out of my house without the barn painted, period. I shudder to think what people would think of my pale lashes, pale face, and no lipstick. I think I need to run and

    SweettartRN replied to NurseStephRN's topic in General Nursing

  11. MI taking forever processing license

    SweettartRN replied to jan18's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Just to give everyone a head's up. It took writing the governor's office, the attorney general's office, and representatives, but my license was finally posted this last week. It was explained to...

  12. Lisa Arends study guides for EC

    SweettartRN replied to echo56's topic in Excelsior College

    I personally avoided Lisa Arends after I got the first cd of hers and nearly failed. On top of everything she claims that her material is copyrighted, however, many of her modules, and photos are...

  13. How to resign from a job..here is what you do!

    SweettartRN replied to BabyLady's topic in Nursing Career

    I have a hard time with the "giving notice." It seems every time I have resigned with the required notice, I was immediately told that it would be my last day- good terms or not. There is no longer...

  14. Made a huge mistake now worried for career.

    SweettartRN replied to newRNhereMI's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Agreed. Isn't that the purpose of an emergency box in the first

  15. Ca RN possibly relocating to MI, need help!

    SweettartRN replied to palmerfive's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Forget about the pay. Trying to transfer a license into this state takes about 6 months. Clearly this is an exaggeration but not really. you can read on here where some have waited upwards of 12...

  16. The Hard Question on Access to Health Care: Will We Have Enough Doctors and Services?

    SweettartRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think that we will see a large group of doctors move to private pay to get away from having to deal with government run healthcare. And I think we'll see a lot of people actually pay

  17. Are you being "hounded" to pay back student loans-

    SweettartRN replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    Is advertising allowed on this board? I was under the impression that buying, selling, trading, etc. was not allowed? I feel that this message is advertisement plain and simple, and if anything it...

  18. Manager Woes

    SweettartRN replied to linden-nurse's topic in Michigan Nursing

    As an RN we wee there to see that our patients are cared for. It's my license on the line if a CNA screws up and I for one am not afraid to tell them to get up off their butt and get to work. I am not...

  19. Excelsior question

    SweettartRN replied to sherryvegas's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am a graduate RN from Excelsior and actually looking back, I think the CPNE was a piece of cake. The program is totally doable, and it's very easy and a good program for those who are working full...

    SweettartRN replied to TexasNurse89's topic in General Nursing

    Strictly Merry Christmas here. I hate the word holiday. It usually means

  21. MI taking forever processing license

    SweettartRN replied to jan18's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I encourage all of you that are waiting to notify the governors offices as well as your elected representatives. We are thankfully getting a new administration in the state soon so hopefully that will...

  22. MI taking forever processing license

    SweettartRN replied to jan18's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Any updates on this? I am sending a letter to the governor this morning via fax and hope to see if I can get some sort of a response. I do not understand what takes so long. Even if there is one...

  23. For those new grads who are employed, what's your method?

    SweettartRN replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    I googled all the facilities, agencies, hospitals etc in my area. Then I found the email addresses for HR and even if they said they weren't hiring I still sent my resume over. Nurses quit and get...

  24. MI taking forever processing license

    SweettartRN replied to jan18's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I bet a FOIA request to the State would reveal a.) how many applications a day are being processed b.) how many persons are processing the applications and c.) why it takes so darn long for them to do...
