    @hockeynpolo - I am currently a graduating BSN student as well as a PCA at Parkland and have applied for the internship. Are you still at Parkland? Also does it help to mention in the interview that...

    butterfly journey replied to chunkiesundae's topic in Nursing Career

    Nope, not a problem. The only thing you might have to disclose to the Board of Nursing of your state is if you are on any psychotropic drugs. Most drugs for depression and anxiety don't fall in that...

    Well, I will be 42 this year and I am 3 semesters into a 4 semester program. Yikes, I won't lie and tell you that it's easy 'cause it isn't. I have a 7 yo son and he and my husband spend "quality...

  12. I Quit!! What do I say?

    butterfly journey replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    butterfly journey replied to Sun_danc3rRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. Can You Become A FNP Too Quickly?

    butterfly journey replied to rnmet's topic in General Nursing

    OK, here's my 2 cents worth. I'm looking at the same opportunity as the OP, but one thing we all have to remember is that come 2015, the only way you will be able to become an "NP" of any kind is to...

    butterfly journey replied to Fribblet's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  23. To all the moms out there: How did you do it?

    butterfly journey replied to Karina1481's topic in General Nursing

    If you're like me you probably won't qualify for any aid that's GIVEN to you. What you might want to do is request financial aid in the form of school loans. No it's not exactly what you want to do,...
