  4. Needing prayers for entrance test

    KSRN2b replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Tippy, I took the TEAS version V a couple of weeks ago. I'm older, already have a college degree, no math in years and years, only recent science has been pre-reqs. I used free online websites and...

  7. Promised job, now they won't hire me

    KSRN2b replied to caramelcomet's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I understand your frustration. I also agree with other posters here whose advice is to move on. If I were in your shoes, it would probably take all of my energy to go forward with a positive...

  8. Promised job, now they won't hire me

    KSRN2b replied to caramelcomet's topic in General Nursing

    OP and others in a similar situation, my sympathies to you. I'm still doing nursing school pre-reqs so don't know if this is a standard practice in health care and/or a sign of how (bad) businesses...

  9. Should I FINALLY follow through with nursing school?

    KSRN2b replied to kira0804's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Coulter630. I can't help but wonder how much of your issue is related to depression and mood swings. You didn't mention whether you've talked with someone like a mental health...

  10. Getting thrown under the bus

    KSRN2b replied to Sugarcoma's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks GHGoonette for pointing out Zookeeper3's post. Is heartening to read about that kind of teamwork. Is the type of work environment I hope to be in some

  11. Getting thrown under the bus

    KSRN2b replied to Sugarcoma's topic in General Nursing

    This has been an interesting thread to follow for me as a pre-nursing student. What a tough spot to be in -- glad the manager is backing the poster. I think of the OP, "there but by the grace of God...

  12. Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - Should I do BSN or ADN???

    KSRN2b replied to k.ronning's topic in General Nursing

    Litchi, you couldn't even get a loan if you went through the ADN program at the community college? I hadn't heard of that being a problem, even if you already have a previous degree. Did they explain...

  13. As if it isn't hard enough to find a job....

    KSRN2b replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    I know of a few reputable employers in my area (Kansas City, MO) who advertise on craigslist. I imagine people seeking work and maybe not finding it through more traditional routes just might read...

  14. As if it isn't hard enough to find a job....

    KSRN2b replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    Thebusynurse, thanks for posting the questionable ad. I think Biblepoet read between the lines correctly. Yes, is disturbing. Wonder if that's why it was flagged for removal. SDALPN, appreciate...

  15. As if it isn't hard enough to find a job....

    KSRN2b replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    The original craigslist posting has been flagged for removal. I tried to view the ad in question and found this announcement instead. OP, can you or someone else who saw it recall what it said?...

  16. No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    KSRN2b replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Olathe relocation -advice on rural property

    KSRN2b replied to Ihoplover's topic in General Nursing

    Darimom, not sure what you consider "small". Most or all of the small towns within 30-45 min. of Olathe do not have 17 churches. You might check out Spring Hill, Gardner, Wellsville, Louisburg,...
