   Jljkhorton replied to maria0202's topic in General Nursing

   But of course, I'm a student. Clueless about real life. And you're the working nurse, who knows all. Hope we get to work together some day! And it's probably more like thousands of new grads without...

2. Entering Nursing School

   Jljkhorton replied to maria0202's topic in General Nursing

   I graduate with at LEAST 2000 others. And yeah, I'm gonna have a job by the end of June. Why? Certainly not because there are only 25 jobs available. But because I make myself the best of the best....

   Jljkhorton replied to maria0202's topic in General Nursing

   No job security? seriously? See, this is what I was talking about in the first place. If you really have things to work for, like family, or mortgage, whatever it may be....nursing will always bring...

5. Entering Nursing School

   Jljkhorton replied to maria0202's topic in General Nursing

   I graduate in May, and everyone keeps asking what in the world I'll do, because there's not many jobs. Well, I tend to be optimistic (and arrogant), so I'll do what others wont to make sure I start...

6. How do you ace tests?

   Jljkhorton replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

   My instructors always say "DON'T change your answers!". For the 1st 6 months of school, I found that to be so wrong. But now that I'm further along and seeing more advanced and difficult questions,...

7. Hi everyone, new nursing student here..just a few questions

   Jljkhorton replied to hudsonsmommy's topic in General Students

   Where I go to school they make us have all the prereq's done before we can apply to the nursing program. Of course it's not written that way, but if you applied w/o one done, you'd lack in points on...

   Jljkhorton replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

   There's a lot of good ole fashioned laundry soaps that come in bar form, I can't think of the names of them right now, but they're in any grocery store laundry aisle. Walmart seems to have the best...

    Jljkhorton replied to hudsonsmommy's topic in General Students

    Knock out all your prereq's as soon as possible. Just be done with them so you can focus more on why you're there,

11. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Jljkhorton replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I'm about to graduate, and doing careplans tirelessly. I go to a school where we have 1 class every 5 weeks. It's intense, and we have different instructors every 5 weeks. It's hard to know what...

12. New RN and NO job!!!

    Jljkhorton replied to DetroitNurse15's topic in General Nursing

    This is true for any job, anywhere. Unfortunately. Everyone is on a hiring freeze, etc. Just hang in there and it'll come. If you're as willing as you say to move, you'll find something soon

13. Being a Nurse for a Killer

    Jljkhorton replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in General Nursing

    The newest NCLEX reviews (I'm about to graduate next semester) tell us that you can't refuse care to anybody. I don't know if that's a state regulation, or federal, but as far as I know, you need to...
