  1. CNA to ADN and CLEP

    This confuses me even more. You continue to refer back to CNA experience, pay rates, etc. Yet that is unconnected to your stated goal: licensed nurse. Which are you actually considering? To be...
  2. CNA to ADN and CLEP

    Going into nursing as a "back-up" is a little unusual. Have you fully researched the field of nursing? The stress of nursing school? The demand, or lack thereof, for nurses in your area? Nursing...

    I know,
  4. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    That you read a scolding into the quoted posts is both sad and appalling, on all sorts of levels. I'm sad for you because life must be hard for you with that degree of suspicion present in your...
  5. Age of transfer credit

    As has been said, much has changed in the last 15-20 years, even in the area of sciences. It is not realistic to expect that any of your previous credits will transfer. Nor should you "hope" that...
  6. If you don't have a uniform...

    Prepare yourself: I saved mine from my first job when subsequent jobs required other colors. When I got them out about 6 years later, any item with elastic was ruined due to the elastic hardening...

    Too many variables to say. State, city? Big company, little? Current demand for experienced nurses in your

    Good grief. Another snowflake heard
  9. Calling in for no sleep

    When responding to another post, it is very helpful if you use the Quote button on the bottom right of the post. It is difficult to follow a rebuttal post if we don't know what you're

  11. ICU, Pros Cons, What to expect?

    I will respectfully disagree with your instructors. Nursing education in the US is generalized, rather than specialized. You don't have to choose. And those of us who went thru school planning to...
  12. Medical marijuana vs. opiods in WC

    Curious as to why just the auto injury & workers' comp? What's unique about those 2 fields or their injuries? Please

    That's just a standard scare tactic that DON's like to use. She's planning on you not knowing any
  14. HIPAA Not
  15. Advice Please!! Two clinical failures...

    The only conceivable source for an answer is the school at which you received the clinical failures. School policies are unique to the school. I'm not sure how any of us could answer a question...
  16. Calling in for no sleep

    Thank you for your interest in my education, but you missed the point entirely. I did not disagree with Mhays' understanding of FON. I was simply questioning the need for such lectures in multiple...

  20. Is there Hope for me after 21 yrs???

    Medical Assistant will not likely support a family of four and is not nursing-related. Obtaining your nursing license will be an uphill battle, given lapsed time and no previous US license. Have you...
  21. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Honestly, I think this is the most unhelpful post yet. It is naive and does not take the current realities of the nursing employment situation for a new grad into account. I do my best to give...
  22. Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    If it was my teenage daughter and it was necessary for her health and safety during her procedure, or even her potential health and safety if the case turned open, then have at
  23. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    We can't predict the future, but at this point in time, most areas of the US are saturated with new grads who cannot find employment. We hear from folks who have looked for 2, 3 years and have sent...
  24. difference between nclex in certain states?

    100% untrue. NCLEX is a federal test - states do not individualize
  25. Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    I'm guessing that you would if it was part of the OR protocol that you were obliged to
