  1. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Accelerated BSN vs ADN (cost difference)

    stephie_love replied to melanyblame's topic in General Students

    ABSN or BSN. No question. Most have student loans...it's a part of life these days. Many of my ADN friends cannot find jobs due to employers seeking BSN over

  4. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    stephie_love replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wonder if they make low cut scrubs that show off 'the girls'....hmmmm...THEN maybe I would have had an easier time getting a job!!

  5. declining a nursing job without burning a bridge?

    stephie_love replied to NurseNancy88's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, I went through this same scenario last week! First and foremost, let us take a moment to be thankful for not only one job offer, but two!! I ended up calling the first job (the already...

  6. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    stephie_love replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Feels like a slap in the face...

    stephie_love replied to MECO28's topic in General Nursing

    This stinks...happened to me too! At a hospital I both volunteered for and worked as a CNA...it just means that you were meant for something better. Chin up!

    stephie_love replied to senseiRN's topic in General Nursing

    A few of my classmates and I joke that we're gonna have to work at Starbucks in the meantime...heck, they should pay me for the amount of time I have spent there in the past 2

  11. What am I doing wrong?

    stephie_love replied to masek77's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Knowing someone" isn't helping here, if it makes you feel better. I am in the same boat as you - great gpa, great references, etc., but I feel unwanted as well:( It is so hard to stay positive in...

  12. did anyone fail any of their nursing classes? (i'm going for RN)

    stephie_love replied to codyiscool's topic in General Students

    I hate to sound negative, but the reality is that nursing programs are competitive. I know of people that have failed from programs by a tenth of a point...no joke. BSN and ADN programs alike....

  13. how hard is the math in nursing programs? how about the HESI exam?

    stephie_love replied to codyiscool's topic in General Students

    Practice makes perfect! I never did particularly well in math classes, but once I got the hang of medication conversions and such, it is very easy. It's pretty much all dimensional analysis from...

  14. Things you'd never have done before...

    stephie_love replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    Try to find a nail salon that does not have the jet tubs for pedicures...although they feel mighty lovely on your tootsies, bacteria likes to harbor in jet tubing! We go to a place that has a bowl...

    stephie_love replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I just want a job.

  16. ADN or BSN...how much does it really matter?

    stephie_love replied to mom23boyz's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...I'm in Chicagoland as well, and as I apply for jobs I am noticing that a majority of institutions are requiring BSN and won't consider ADN. I have also been told directly that some...

  17. Accelerated BSN - Will it help you get a job?

    stephie_love replied to jam752's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    On a positive note...a BSN is the key these days. BSN, ABSN...you still have a leg up on other new grads. I do think that a psych degree + nursing degree is a great combo...and that employers may...

  18. Need scrub and shoe recommendations please!

    stephie_love replied to KGMM's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love the Sketchers Shape-Ups...they help with posture, they really do! You'll see what I mean when you try a pair on. And they are SUPER comfy... I had breast reduction surgery a few years back,...

  21. Comments about personal appearance

    stephie_love replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    I consistently get the "ARE YOU EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO CARE FOR ME" comment...I'm 31! Guess I shouldn't complain...heheee...but, it still makes me feel as thought the person thinks I am inept to provide...
