    I have my CNA license (its required for acceptance into the program) but have not worked as one. About the time I got my license (1.5 yrs ago) I applied for a few different jobs, including Unit...

  6. Let's give nurses a break: How do the rest of the staff dress?

    linzjane88 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Oiy! One of the docs on our floor wears his scrub pants an entire size too small, pulls them up to somewhere in the vicinity of his nipples, and tops it off by tucking in his scrub top. High waters...

    linzjane88 replied to linzjane88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OOH. One thing I didn not add, which I think is a rather important detail, is that the mean in our program for each category is anywhere from 3-5% LOWER that what our college will accept. That means a...

    Still not seeing anyone with schoool scores lower than ours. Ha! A recent news article on the school showed that out of the 3,000 (ish)full time students 1200 listed nursing as their major. Our school...

    linzjane88 replied to linzjane88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For us you can't retake until next admission cycle (in fall ...6 months away!). I can't wait to hear if you got in! I am so nervous I can't stand it. Good ol' upper 90 percentiles. I don't mind if I...

  10. Which came first, the $ or the ♥ ?

    linzjane88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    At some point in your life you decided to become a nurse. So, for you, which came first? A love of nursing (with the wage secondary) .....or .... Did the pay catch your eye and then you 'grew into'...

  11. Which came first, the $ or the ♥ ?

    linzjane88 replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I wanted something in the medical field but had no interest in nursing specifically. When I decided to get serious about school, Medical Lab Technologist was 100% what I wanted to do....

  12. Which came first, the $ or the ♥ ?

    linzjane88 replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    That is perfectly stated! Nursing, for me, has the perfect mix of challenge and financial security. Would I be a receptionist for $60 an hour? Probably not. Nor would I be a nurse for

  13. Why is it a crime...

    linzjane88 replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

    I am only in nursing school now but I think the pay definately had something to do with it. I,too, had a "desk job" that paid almost twice what my husband brought home, but I left because it was sooo...

    linzjane88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will spit my question out first- then you can choose to read my rambling story if you choose :) As a nurse, how to you deal with seeing injustice and mistreatment to children? (particularly where...

  15. Question from a student to the seasoned nurses :)

    linzjane88 replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing
