  1. Should hubby get an Associates RN or BSN?

    wetzoo replied to prillo's topic in Nursing Career

    An entry-level RN is basically a RN/Graduate nurse with no nursing experience whatsoever. Upon graduation, BSN or ADN, he would be considered a graduate nurse and will need to apply to these...

  2. Can some one edit my get into nursing school essay? Less than a page long!

    wetzoo replied to SamiSN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I found the part about taking care of your grandmother to be the most interesting part of your essay. If this were my essay, that would be the focal point (the challenge), and I would...

  3. New grad can't find a job in Missouri.

    wetzoo replied to Michellebelle2011's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting.

  4. New grad can't find a job in Missouri.

    wetzoo replied to Michellebelle2011's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't mind me asking, how did you hear that NKCH would have graduate nurse openings on the 1st? I know that they have openings now, but they're for internal applicants only. Thanks in

  5. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    wetzoo replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    This post is offensive and I'm not even a LPN. Some would say the exact same thing you wrote about CNAs. Point is, you have no right to downgrade anyone's education. And it's complete fabrication that...

  6. Truman Medical Center Nursing Residency Program

    wetzoo replied to skinandbones's topic in General Nursing

    Bumping this post. Anyone have any new information of this residency program? Anyone else apply for this year's winter

  7. Fustrated New Grad

    wetzoo replied to usRNs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I probably will. Don't get me wrong, it's not something I don't want (it's a job after all), but for some reason I figure that I should at least get 1 year of hospital experience under my belt before...

  8. Fustrated New Grad

    wetzoo replied to usRNs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that it'd be pretty strange NOT to apply to nursing homes in such an economy. When speaking for myself, all avenues have been exhausted. Whether it be nursing homes, correctional facilities,...

  9. Fustrated New Grad

    wetzoo replied to usRNs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is true. I'm in the same boat as everyone else. I have tons of family members who work in various hospitals around my city, and I'm still not able to find employment as a new grad. Today someone...

  10. Community College? You must be stupid.

    wetzoo replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    lol you did imply that it is "SMART" to go to a community college over a university "in this economy". I don't necessarily disagree with you, but for my situation and for a lot of people, choosing...

  11. Community College? You must be stupid.

    wetzoo replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    It's a shame that your friend thinks that, but if your friend is going to a 4 year university/getting her BSN, why would it take her until 2017 to

  12. This "us" vs "them" mentality....

    wetzoo replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lol these would be considered "low level passing" questions for NCLEX. If you took the NCLEX and were given nothing but the above questions, you'd fail as you'd be showing minimum

  13. What is the fate of the new graduate RN?

    wetzoo replied to Aubrianna's topic in General Nursing

    I can definitely understand your frustration (recruiters sending you on jobs you're supposedly "not qualified" for sounds rough). I don't think that you came off "cocky" at all; it sounds like...

  14. Took 265 questions and feel like horrible.

    wetzoo replied to Cheer4WVU's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As long as it says "delivery successful", and you get the good pop up telling you that another appointment can not be scheduled at this time", then you passed.

  15. Took 265 questions and feel like horrible.

    wetzoo replied to Cheer4WVU's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It has to say "delivery successful" for the trick to be accurate. Maybe try it

  16. kaplan scores

    wetzoo replied to kim_093089's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes. I took it on monday, and stopped at 75 questions. I found out that I passed on Wednesday. :) I didn't think that they were that similar, but I was able to apply the critical thinking skills that...

  17. kaplan scores

    wetzoo replied to kim_093089's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Diagnostic- 59, Readiness-58, Q1-55, Q2-59, Q3-52, Q4-61, Q5-60, Q6-59, Q7-60. I did all of the QBank and then some. Because it is said that Qtrainers 6 & 7 are the most like the NCLEX questions,...

  18. Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

    wetzoo replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Worked for me! I took the exam on 9/19 at 8am. I was stopped at 75 Qs and left defeated and angry at myself. 4 hours after testing, it says "Delivery Successful" on the Pearson site. I begin...

  19. A-BSN program for 12 months straight, or 15 month program w/ summer off?

    wetzoo replied to AlyJacks's topic in General Students

    I'd most def. go with option 2. If your program is as intense as mine is, you're going to want/need that summer

  20. How does a Straight B student Survive an Accelerated Nursing School World?

    wetzoo replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    I actually get better grades in NS. Being a B student is not something to scoff at. When did a B become the new D? NS is based on critical thinking. It's not like pre-reqs where people have to simply...

  21. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    wetzoo replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I didn't get any As in the prerequisites for my ABSN program- only Bs. I had a 3.01 undergrad, and a 3.2 in pre-reqs. I started my pre-reqs in Jan of '09, applied in October, and got the letter in...

  22. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    wetzoo replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    Let it go. I have the same situation in my ABSN program. The courseload of 3 lectures, and 3 clinicals is nothing compared to the stress from all the drama in my nursing school. Maybe it's better for...

  23. Mizzou's Sinclair School of Nursing Accelerated BSN 2010

    wetzoo posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone else applied? Does anyone know what the application/interview process is like? Any information at all about the accelerated program would be much appreciated. Thanks in

  24. Mizzou's Sinclair School of Nursing Accelerated BSN 2010

    wetzoo replied to wetzoo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I don't know a lot about how the traditional program runs. I know that it's really competitive, but I can only imagine that already having your LPN license will push you above the rest. I'd...

  25. Psych rotation

    wetzoo replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    well I certainly hope that if you ever do venture on to a psych ward either as a student or a working professional, you would use better choice words than "nut jobs" to describe the patients. To the...
