  1. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    Guest 360983 replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP was out of line at all. I'm not a nurse yet, but after dealing with the public, I can't imagine the frustration working with difficult parents brings. If only people used common...

  2. Where do you buy nursing supplies?

    Guest 360983 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    Online, after googling for coupon codes. Not your college bookstore, unless you want to be

  3. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    Guest 360983 replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So nursing is a profession. My fiance is in advertising. When I graduate, I'll be making about as much as he is, though he'll have 5 years experience at that point. My sister is involved in research....

  4. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    Guest 360983 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    They won't tell you they didn't hire you because you're pregnant, just like they don't tell older people they weren't hired because they're 50+. They'll say another candidate was a better fit or had a...

  5. Teacher falsley accused me

    Guest 360983 replied to tallystudentnurse's topic in General Students

    This will give the director more ammo against you. You could be seen as unable to take constructive criticism, or someone who gets over emotional and reacts poorly. I'm serious about being quiet and...

  6. how to pay for school??

    Guest 360983 replied to Linds0310's topic in General Students

    Private loans. Go to a BSN program so you will be a junior/senior instead of freshman/sophomore and will be eligible for larger federal loans. Get a part time job, roommates, and learn to live on...

  7. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    Guest 360983 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Another thing to consider about being pregnant at graduation--your first job as a nurse. 1) It will be hard to get hired when you're showing. Oh, sure, no one will ever tell you that you weren't hired...

  8. Teacher falsley accused me

    Guest 360983 replied to tallystudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Suck it up, kiss her ass and keep your head down until you graduate. If she's out to get you and the director agrees with her, there's not much else you can

  9. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    Guest 360983 replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Real Money? Right now I have a high school diploma and make next to nothing. A job that starts in the $20s/hr with benefits and paid vacations sounds like real money to

  10. Thinking about attending American Career College.

    Guest 360983 replied to jessiew's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What is the dropout rate? Do you have an exit HESI or other mandatory exit exam? What is the pass rate on that? Those are more important questions for future students to ask than what the NCLEX pass...

  11. Great Private School with Outstanding Financial Help

    Guest 360983 replied to stingray_on's topic in General Students

    I agree with llg. If you don't like California schools, look out of state. I'm not familiar with that area of the country, but schools that jump to mind from sports are University of Oregon...

  12. Thinking about attending American Career College.

    Guest 360983 replied to jessiew's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How much will going to school cost you? How much do new grad LVN jobs pay in your area? Most for-profit schools charge you an arm and a leg and the job market for new grads isn't great right now,...

  13. Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    Guest 360983 replied to mommalumps's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Look for a local women's shelter. They often have resources to help you get out and stand on your own

  14. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    Guest 360983 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I've already ****** off my family by telling them I won't attend my graduation. Graduation is in the spring, I finish in the fall, and I see no appeal in hanging in a hot, black outfit in the Texas...

  15. Maybe I should quit before I start...

    Guest 360983 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    Sure there are tons of new grads here who can't get jobs. I'm sure if you found a board for business majors or those in advertising or people with teaching degrees, you would hear the exact same...

  16. I hate my phone

    Guest 360983 replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    Your job won't stop doing this until you stop letting them. Don't apologize, don't explain yourself, don't go in early or on your days off unless you want to. "I am not available to come in today." If...

  17. Need help Figuring out if I need a ADN to get into BSN

    Guest 360983 replied to unsureity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Forgot to mention: aside from Houston Baptist (which has a very small program), there are no "4 year" universities with nursing degrees in Houston. You can get a BSN from a variety of sources but you...

  18. Need help Figuring out if I need a ADN to get into BSN

    Guest 360983 replied to unsureity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are more schools in the medical center. You need to do some research if you're interested in seeing what options you have and what the requirements are. You might start at the med center...

  19. how many uniforms to buy?

    Guest 360983 replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    My price for 2 sets of nice scrubs, patches, and the dry cleaner to sew on the patches: $50. Just

  20. how many uniforms to buy?

    Guest 360983 replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    You should complain to your school. I didn't even spend $75 on my Littman. That embroidery shop is making $$$$ off of you

  21. how many uniforms to buy?

    Guest 360983 replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    Seriously? Can't you buy your own set somewhere else? Look at All Heart for scrubs, they have a ton of brands and maybe you can get something similar there without getting ripped

  22. how many uniforms to buy?

    Guest 360983 replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    They do uniform fittings? Yikes, that has to be expensive. I'm very happy that my school only requires plain navy scrubs and school patches. I got a couple of sets on sale online for much less than...

  23. university of phoenix RN and clinicals???

    Guest 360983 replied to alyCNA's topic in School, College Programs

    I've looked through the University of Phoenix website and it doesn't look like they have an RN program. The recruiter may have thought you were already a nurse with an associate's degree and thought...

  24. Nursing School Dilemma

    Guest 360983 replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    You mean the same Dr Laura who started sleeping with her first husband when he was married and had 3 kids? You have no idea why the marriage is in trouble. Maybe it's not even worth saving. The OP...

  25. Military spouse...so many questions

    Guest 360983 replied to micheleruth87's topic in General Students

    My suggestion would be to finish your prereqs before he finishes school and request an unpopular/big/easy to get base that has a competitive admission (vs waiting list) nursing program near it (Ft...
