  2. CPNE failed by 2 points

    itsmejuli replied to toronto24's topic in International Nursing

    How do you know you failed by only 2 points? I thought the result was strictly pass/fail. I highly doubt you can get a recount done. I sense that english is not your primary language. Perhaps you...

  3. Job prospects in Canada

    itsmejuli replied to jbee's topic in International Nursing

    itsmejuli replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

    itsmejuli replied to prospectivestudent90's topic in International Nursing

  8. Advice for "seasoned" individual going for RN

    itsmejuli replied to Buckaroo93's topic in General Nursing

  10. Disgruntled Unemployed New LPN Grad

    itsmejuli replied to spete39's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I used to live in the Tampa Bay area, I left in March for good. The job market in FL is tight and there are many "magnet" hospitals that won't hire LPNs. Its also difficult finding new grad LPN and RN...

  15. Health care costs are RIDICULOUS!!!!

    itsmejuli replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. Bookish, low common sense... will I fit in?

    itsmejuli replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Students

    Bahhh....you're not the only one. I do great academically but give me a manual task and it takes me a few attempts to get it right. Even now that I'm working there are times that I still ask for...

  20. Am I setting myself up for failure?

    itsmejuli replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you can ask to shadow one of the RNs for a half day. Then you'd get an idea of what the job entails. Its certainly not a job I'd ever want. I worked in an LTC, our weekend RN supervisor had to...

  23. Slowing down LEGAL immigration process in the US

    itsmejuli replied to demigod's topic in International Nursing

    What "others" are you referring to? The reality is that there are thousands of unemployed American nurses, therefor any open jobs should go to those nurses first. California isn't the only state with...

    itsmejuli replied to HannahLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't you on meds for BP? What's going to happen when you crash? WHo's going to care for your son? I think you should be worrying about your son as well as your job at this point. Can you get someone...
