  1. How long did you wait to take nclex rn

    Despareux replied to jemmens's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    About five weeks from graduation to NCLEX testing. But I graduated in March; whereas, many schools graduate their students in May and June, which could create a delay in application

  3. Kaplan VS NCLEX

    Despareux replied to Ciomara88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan prepares your for Kaplan questions. The strategies Kaplan offers were of minimal use for my NCLEX. So essentially, I paid $500 bucks to prepare for a few questions for which, I have no idea...

    Despareux replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed average RN pay is generally based on what county the job will be located. My neighboring county pays almost $4.00 more per hour for base pay for the same jobs. You can call human...

  5. Anyone ever use Monster.com???

    Despareux posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've been a member since 1999. For years, job offers, for my line of work at the time, were offered on a consistent basis. I haven't used the site in about five years and deactivated my old resume....

  6. Is this fair? Honest opinions, please.

    Despareux replied to BC913's topic in General Students

    OP: Unless you are the Dean's kid or spouse, then I doubt you know all the facts as to why additional students were accepted. Despite what you think you may know, I would zip my lips, do my work,...

  7. NCLEX Kaplan Practice Scores

    Despareux replied to Inori's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. Nursing classes are easy...

    Despareux replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Some of the content was easy and some of it was a challenge. And quite honestly, if it was all 'easy breezy', I probably would not have finished nursing school--I need to be challenged all the time....

  9. Would this be appropriate for an interview?

    Despareux posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My interview is in a couple of days. I'm broke. I went to Goodwill, Salvation Army, JC Penny, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Kmart, Kohls, and a few other stores in my area to find a good fitting suit. The...

  10. Need Baker College Kaplan Test Prep Tips

    Despareux replied to ang829's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I did not use a study guide and I only studied my basic math. The Kaplan entrance exam was so incredibly random with the science portion. I'm sorry, I really have no advice for you. Just try to...

  11. When Do I Tell My Boss . . . . ?

    Despareux replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  12. Job interview.. do I really have to put up with this?

    Despareux replied to Been there,done that's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I love the challenge of a serious interview, but I won't tolerate being talked down to. Despite education and economic status, I am a fellow human-being with the same needs as everyone else. I poop...

  13. Thank you notes and recruiter names...

    Despareux posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My interviewers did not offer a business card, nor did I ask for one (darn it). I've searched high and low on the company website to locate these folks and I'm having no luck. I remember the first...

  14. Thank you notes and recruiter names...

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So I contacted the facility where I had my interview and HR says the two women I interviewed with are not from their facility and she only knew on of their last names, no email or location. Next, I...

  15. Thank you notes and recruiter names...

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Seems like the most obvious answer.

  16. The False Advertising of For-Profit Institutions

    Despareux replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Students

    Very well articulated. As time goes on, maybe one day, for-profit education will earn the same regard as other institutions. Due to the questionable, historical and current practices of these...

  20. New grad nurse - purposely work part time?

    Despareux replied to SoCal student's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most jobs available in my area are only hiring part-time. Full-time seems to pop up on a rare occasion. I'm hoping to work part-time somewhere and contingent elsewhere for a varied

  25. The Negative Effects of Foam/Alcohol Hand Sanitzer

    Despareux replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's too much. Even hand washing can be too much. I have always washed my hands with soapy water (I'm a little ocd) and on top of using the foam, I have literally scrubbed some of the ridging...
