Unprofessionalism sucks!!!!!

Thanks for your response.

I spent three months working in a LTCF. I did not apply for the position. They found my resume on the web and I accepted an interview and took the job since some experience is better than none. I really wanted to work in a hospital. I figured I could...

What is the typical nurse-to-patient ration in a TCU? I have a job interview in a TCU coming soon.

Here are some points I forgot to mention to complete this post: I wanted to add that I was on my own after a week and a half of training. Toward my last days there, I ended up crying when I was sent to a unit where I had about 30 patients as I receiv...

Good day everyone! I am proud to say that I passed my NCLEX on the first attempt in September. I have been applying to hospitals and I know it takes time but, I have a future interview in a nursing home and I had an earlier interview in a LTC facili...

Thanks so much for your comment. It should not have taken me so long to reply to you. However, I have been working at a SNF for 1 month now. I am called an RN Supervisor but, I only supervise aides. I am basically a floor nurse. I pass meds, do wound...

I was frowning on the tuition foregiveness program at first. Now I am wondering if I will be able to get entry-level experience as a nurse without it. I find that this city can be a bit discriminating at times and I would like to know if anybody has ...

If I could have done everything over again I would NEVER have chosen to come to Shadyside. I don't like it at all. I am not impressed with anything else but the location. They have been implementing PBL so, why should I pay so much to learn to be a n...

Well, my diploma school is incorporating PBL plus peer evaluations that will affect the grade! I am really wishing I went to another school.

Thanks for the pointers everyone! That makes me feel better. Three more exams to go! On to another subject. Would working at a MedExpress be a great way to start off as a nurse? Is there an average GPA that you need in order to have an easier time ge...

Hello there, I am happy to read your message. However, I have a different issue. I got my non-nursing courses out of the way. I got into Phi Theta Kappa and had good grades. I applied to the community college I had been attending and also to a diplom...

Thanks for your copmments everyone, my discussion is tomorrow after my exam in Legal Aspects of Nursing-hope it goes well.

Since you are in a Magnet hospital can you tell me if there are also any cons to it? I have to give a presentation in a round table discussion on Magnet status, pros and cons, etc. in order to teach others. Could you please give me more insight? Sinc...

Well, I did get accepted into Shadyside and attended the information session on Wed. this week. I am not sure if it is wise to leave blank questions if you run out of time. I guessed what I could and left only 2 questions blank when I retook the math...

Thanks!

:anpom:I also would like to congratulate everyone who got accepted into CCAC's nursing program. I got accepted to North and tried for Shadyside. I succeeded the pre-entrance exam for Shadyside. Got reference letters done before finals week, did my es...

I just got my acceptance letter this morning. Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!!!!! Now, I need to think over this tuition forgiveness business. Seems pretty stiff. Do you think it's worth it?

When did you receive you acceptance letter and when was your application completed? Natalie told me that they would re-begin the admissions at the end of last week. By Tuesday (last week) everything was completed. I have heard nothing yet. I am start...

Thanks. They have my CCAC transcripts so, I am waiting, hoping for an acceptance letter. Everything else is in.

I just got the result for the retake of my math on the PSB and I passed with an 80%. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!! Now, I need to hurry up and get my essay done and get everything together. I don't want to wait last minute. Should the essay have a citation? I...

I did too! I was accepted to North.:rotfl::dncgbby:

I don't know but, if you applied to CCAC have you received an acceptance letter yet? I am getting news from a friend that letters have been recieved and I've got nothing yet. I was not excited anymore about CCAC yet, I would be disappointed to not ge...

Well, when I went to Chatham University, the man clearly told me that CCAC students must take 36 credits when they get their RN inspite of the higher theory than St. Margaret and Shadyside and that due to their affiliation with those diploma schools,...

Well, I didn't know anything about CCAC's program until I started taking higher sciences. I was informed that it's better to have an ADN rather than a diploma. I felt like I followed bad advise later on and there are others in my class. If I do get i...
