1. Issue with nursing classmate

   anon695 replied to ilooc72's topic in General Students

   I had a very similar situation in school. I simply stopped helping the person. I wish I'd done it sooner, because it took a lot of my time and effort to try and meet the person's expectations of all...

2. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

   anon695 replied to TopSecret's topic in General Students

   What this boils down to is that you're behaving like an entitled, self-righteous blowhard, people don't like you because of it and are treating you accordingly, but now you're whining and playing...

3. New RN's do you have a job yet?

   anon695 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

   I don't have the deals finalized in writing but I have a few very strong job possibilities. I can't take NCLEX until at least the second half of June, so signing on for a job is still premature for...

4. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

   anon695 replied to TopSecret's topic in General Students

   Respect is earned in nursing. Former degrees are worth pretty much nothing in nursing school besides having transfer credits. Study hard, come prepared to clinical and work hard, and follow the rules....

5. Calling all Associate's Degree Students that already have a Bachelor's degree!

   anon695 replied to kammel's topic in General Students

   I already had a BA when I applied to my local CC. I was not eligible for any financial aid, they even told me when I turned in the application "don't bother applying for aid, you can't get anything"....

6. Financial Aid for 2nd Degree / Career change

   anon695 replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

   I'm a second-degree student too. I simply saved money to pay for tuition in full, and found the least expensive program in my area. I took pre-requisites at community college. I disagree with the...

7. I just failed nursing school

   anon695 replied to jrsygirl's topic in General Students

   Talk to the academic advisor of the nursing program and find out what your options are. You may be able to re-take the class and still graduate, just a semester or two later than you were planning on...

8. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

   anon695 replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   Or work to serve your community, state, country, and planet. Work to the best of your ability, and never less than your full potential in life. Always behave professionally and show respect for...

9. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

   anon695 replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   "I've observed that there's such a huge difference between nurses who incorporate their faith into their nursing job compared to others who do not." Uhh... I've never seen a difference in nursing...

10. So frightened of the dire job market

    anon695 replied to boojum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the time you finish nursing school and take NCLEX, the job market will be different from what it is today. No college major is ever a guarantee of a job, so look at this as taking a gamble no...

11. no job after two years

    anon695 replied to icedtea's topic in General Nursing

    It's most likely your age. In the past few years of hard economic times, this has been happening in every field, that it's hard to find something if you are over 50. Keep applying and see what...

12. Unemployed New Grad RNs applying for Nurse Aide/Patient Tech Positions?

    anon695 replied to Quirky RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Absolutely not. None of us went to school to be a tech or an aide. From my previous career in human resources, I know that when people apply to jobs that are explicitly below their education and...

13. Student Loans without a Cosigner

    anon695 replied to anne2424's topic in General Students

    Sure they do, the bank just calls up the company and asks for the human resources department to verify your dates of

14. ENCOURAGEMENT...CNA before nursing school??

    anon695 replied to ahopefulsoontobe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You definitely do not need to be a CNA to do well in nursing school. We only had one or two CNA's in my class of 60+, and all the non-CNA students did just fine. CNA is a low-skilled job with a narrow...

15. Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    anon695 replied to yel550i's topic in General Students

    Also - 1. Not following the attendance policy. If your school handbook says that X number of missed clinicals or lectures results in an automatic failure, that's not a joke no matter how good you...
