    JoblessRN replied to kgorndt's topic in General Students

    Saunders is great for content, Kaplan is excellent for learning HOW to take tests and choose the best

  2. KAPLAN SCORES!!

    JoblessRN replied to ~Grad-2009~'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i honestly wouldn't put too much emphasis on the score you get. i think my diagnostic was a low 40. but, with each question trainer i got better and better. i think my last one was high 50's/low...

    JoblessRN replied to rabird's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    actually, i would take that as a good thing....it means that you are doing really, really well. i only had 8 or 9 and passed. you must be a genius if you had

  4. Nursing shortage my !! (Bay Area)

    JoblessRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    There is, BY FAR, absolutely NO nursing shortage in California (at least, not where I live - in the Bay Area). I am graduating in May and I am SO SO SO SO SO anxious that I will not find a job....

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    i am graduating in may after waiting years to become a nurse. i have always, since the tender age of about 9, wanted to be a nurse. i simply cannot express how much it :angryfire burns my hide...

  7. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, lovely. I sincerely appreciate this! :) Your right, heron, I shouldn't have generalized to everyone else based on my classmates actions. My mistake. Perhaps I should say I don't know why she...

  8. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I very much can appreciate and agree with your post. I think the higlighted/bolded part (my doing) was well said. It's a great point. Thanks. Ok, I think I am done replying to everyone and feeling...

  9. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your comment (the last part, anyway) however, I know I am NOT a mena-spirited person. Quite the opposite. But, it seems that no matter what I say, people have pinned me as mean,...

  10. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you noticed in my posts, you will see that I am in CA - no nursing shortage here, buddy. Far from it. I'll be damn lucky if I can find a job when I'm done. I am a humanist - maybe that's why I...

  11. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Arrogant is the last word that people use to describe me. However, seeing as that all you know of me is this post (which I now regret ever posting) you wouldn't know that. I DESPISE arrogrance....

  12. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Volunteer? Maybe not. However, you can SURE bet if I won the lottery I would absolutely STILL work as a nurse (or "volunteer" nurse as it

  13. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps "calling" was the wrong word. Seeing as that I'm atheist, I certainly don't see a higher being as what called me into this

  14. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    And if I see one more post about me thinkiNG I'm BETTER than someone else, I'm going to scream!! I NEVER EVER EVER said that I was BETTER than others for wanting to be a nurse at 9. I was simply...

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL...cute.

  16. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Very true...point taken. Again, I said in my OP that I like that there are men in the field - I don't like ANY job having a dominant gender in it - I love equal parts, I sincerely do. I love equal...

  17. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    However, if you knew some of my classmates you might know that the "compelling" reason is the sound of "ka-ching" in the distance. Trust me - not all of my classmates belong here EVEN though they...

  18. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand you, phila. I do. I know one needs to make a living and we all know nurses work harder than most. I just hope people are in it for the right reasons - that's all. I don't want...

  19. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Future. I appreciate your comment. And, yes, nurses do deserve the salary for what they

  21. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree.... My brother was a near-drowning victim in our backyard pool at 3 years old. I was a baby and basically was raised to be his caretaker. I felt a calling to be a nurse,...

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, I seriously sat in front of the computer for 15 minutes debating over whether or not to post this thread. At this moment, I am regretting it. I just knew I would get reemed.... I know that...

  23. Nursing shortage my !! (Bay Area)

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure this will get few reponses, but I am wondering (as I look at job postings out of curiosity) why new grad openings/programs start in FEB/MARCH when schools don't graduate until MAY (at least I...

  24. Nursing shortage my !! (Bay Area)

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Trust me....If I have to start on a SNF (or whatever "least favorite" unit) - I will do it because I know beggars can't be choosers and I need to start paying off loans! I absolutely dread SNF...
