So just to be clear....I am for immunizations. I am not for employers bullying people into getting immunized. If someone is having difficulty coming up with a convincing argument - just because they are bigger, and maybe smarter or better informed, t...

While some conditions of employment are lawful, others are not. For example, it is not lawful to make a sexual relationship, or a sexual assault, a condition of employment. It is logical, that if it is an assault, to force or coerce someone to be sub...

...I look forward to my flu shots. I don't want to get sick. Isn't the real issue here, nursing shortages? There aren't enough nurses to cover the sick leave shifts. Our healthcare workforce is running on bald tires. An investment must be made for e...

I'd ask to meet and hand deliver a typed, professional letter. No one has to give you a job. Be sure to thank them for the opportunity. I'd give two weeks, at least and offer to stay up to a month, if needed so they can take their time in making a ne...

.... to report a train wreck. (No trains, or train tracks for miles.) ....to report someone making noises inside the fireplace. (No fireplace in the room.) ....to complain about not being allowed to go to the bar in the next room. (Apparently, the st...

You could ask the NY state board of nursing, and the NLN (National League of Nursing) about job prospectives and credentialing. It would take a lot longer, but ... have you looked at accelerated masters programs for Non-nursing BS or BA's? It depends...

That's sad news. It sounds difficult. I have no answers. You have a British flag, are you in the US? If you are in the US, did you look into FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act)? You need to take care of yourself, too. Maybe you actually need time off wor...

It sounds like what you are describing is a written contract. In business, and in law, written contracts stand over verbal. This is why you never assume you will get something, unless you see it in writing. Most likely, prior to getting the paperwork...

airbender....thanks! kudos! ...and thank you for this link. this is great information for prospective nursing students. http://www.ocnnursingdiversity.org/d...2010report.pdf nursing programs do need to be strong in ethics, in values, and in rigor. n...

LoveMyBugs, Hang in there! At least you are interviewing. I wonder how many people would love just to interview. Please keep sharing your job search experiences. I'm crossing my fingers for you. I hope you get your dream job. Do you think it might be...

OK....Raya, So...you inquired, but did not receive reliable information about nursing school. You didn't realize it was not advisable to work full-time while in nursing school. You've learned the hard way, this not advisable and now you are wiser. A...

kamaboko - Your post was very mean spirited. I'm sorry if I did anything to offend you. My previous post was more sincere than you might think. I may be the most unimportant person I have ever known. You really do sound like you are well connected,...

OK Raya, You failed to meet a criteria stated in writing by the program. OK. That likely happens to hundreds of 1st term students, every year. I don't doubt they are all, intelligent, wonderful people. Some will go on to make great nurses. Life goes ...

Raya, There may be two different kinds of "fails." 1) The "fail", where you really failed to meet a stated requirement in the nursing handbook or written requirements, and the nursing handbook states you cannot come back. 2) Then there is the "fai...

LOL! ...and I'd have to be really smart, to want to do this? LOL. No one can see it now, but I am crying with laghter, and rolling on the floor...because I just know this one is true. .....................................................................

Your school did not recommend a study guide? yanetsi22... I've taken the HESI. I don't know how it compares to the HESI A2. If you Google HESI A2 - you may find the answer to your question. (You must be stressed, or you would have thought about Goog...

Kamaboko and Jimithing112; I'm a nobody. I'm also, clearly not very smart. My words are not worthy of your attention. I'd go with experts and trusted friends over the advice of a not-very-smart-nobody. Join that "club". That would be wisest. Decision...

LuvMyBugs... Good for you for sticking it out with the application process. I feel your frustration at not finding a job. I hope you get a job soon. Don't give up. I've a 94 percentile on my MAT, and a prior BA. I could go into an accelerated MSN pro...

MadeinOregon... OHSU would not be interested in hiring ITT students. OHSU only hires ONCE students - Supposedly, this is the main incentive for all of the community colleges in Oregon - as well Clark Community in Washington State -to join OCNE. If OH...

I pay almost $400/month for myself and a six year old. Neither one of us has any diagnosed health problems. Deductable, is $7000 for each of us. No dental or vision is included.

Well MicheleMA, I can't give info on instructors or ITT clinicals, yet. However, I've been through orientation at ITT and orientation in an OCNE program. I can tell you that in orientation, the ITT program went over all of the ways they would be avai...

1. Do you facilitate or participate in debriefing sessions following high-fidelity simulations? I have participated as a student in debriefing following high-fidelity simulations. Your link mentioned the use of reflection in education. I participated...

Thank's for sharing your experience. My experience with _______ , an Oregon community college within the OCNE program, was similar to yours...only I didn't go suicidal. I did have what turned out to be, not heart attacks, but maybe anxiety attacks - ...

Oregon Community College nursing programs - do you mean OCNE programs? I understand OCNE students must compete with high grades once in the OCNE program to "articulate" into the RN to BSN programs as promoted. Sounds reasonable.... But really, it sou...
