    madnurse2b replied to aznkissz's topic in General Students

    If you are able to repeat - do it! Don't give up, some people struggle and you will have to re-dedicate yourself and improve your study habits. I have friends in the program who have failed a...

  4. how to help a struggling student?

  5. Why won't anyone hire new grads?

    madnurse2b replied to LvHaloRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I still don't see how it is 100k - even if you are paying two people. The RN usually doesn't get extra for training. And as far as preceptorship that is a part of nursing school not training in a...

  6. Layoffs at Sunrise?

    madnurse2b replied to madnurse2b's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am really sorry to hear that. It seems that the hospitals locally, much like the casinos, will take what chance they may to get rid of those that cost them more. I may be a student now, but I do...

    madnurse2b replied to Girl Scout's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    madnurse2b replied to anewday's topic in General Students

  11. CSN Financial Aid

    madnurse2b replied to CALICORE's topic in Nevada Nursing

  12. Why won't anyone hire new grads?

    madnurse2b replied to LvHaloRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    madnurse2b replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay - this is a wake up call. If you are still in school - most schools actually have free counseling available on campus. Get it. You can't be an effective nurse unless you take care of yourself...

  17. FACT CHECK: Distortions rife in health care debate

    madnurse2b replied to Agrippa's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    madnurse2b replied to fat cat's topic in Activism, Healthcare
