New Grad interview, 900 miles away, expensive...HELP
It sounds like you made them believe that you are moving there OR it wouldn't be a big deal to drive that far for an interview. I would suck it up and just do the face to face interview as scheduled. If you call them back and ask for a phone interview, they'll just throw your resume in the trash and call up somebody who lives closer. Sorry - that's just a fact!
-
Scheduling - 6 days on, 8 days off
Oh, I would love to have a schedule like that. I thought it was common to work five days in a row, not four? Somebody come back in and lemme know what's going on...?

Physically threatened by family member
These stories make me glad I was raised by a bunch of lawyers lol. Long story short, tell whoever it is in your meeting that you want an attorney present with you. This will either: get them off your back, or delay the inevitable. As long as you documented everything and have witnesses, you will be good to go. I think all nurses should be required to take a course in Introduction to law and legal process and/or law and ethics. Knowledge is power my friend -

Washing those scrubs?

Considering nursing
Please excuse Prudence and Agatha - they get grumpy when some new face wants to know about becoming a nurse. Anyway - nursing is a great field to get into. If you think you can hang, I say go for it.

Another vent, need to let it out

Undergrad Grades - Poor transcript from previous (Before RN) degree
Don't bite into all the hype. As long as you've met all your requirements and have a GPA of at least 3.5 there won't be any reason for them to not interview you. Now, the interview is a totally different animal. This will determine if you get in or not.

Questions about Curriculum Plan

I cant spell and school
How in the world did you ever pass your ENGLISH and HISTORY classes? oh, nevermind, you had your wife do the work. Anyway, don't stress out too much - it's a simple fix. Just go buy a cheap Grammar skills book or look it up online. You've got plenty of time to learn how to spell and form proper sentence structures before school starts.
