I have a friend who is a NP in a medium security state prison. She really likes it. She says the corrections officers are, by far, much more difficult and unpleasant to deal with than the inmates.

I listen to the BBC World News, or NPR Morning Edition.

Not I.

Oh dear. My fault for assuming too much. I'm an atheist. I thought people wore dress clothes to church. I don't think I really need to be specific about what is implied, do I?

OK, anyone posting with me for more than a week knows that I am a hard mule on the issue of interview attire. IMO, there is almost no excuse not to wear a suit to an interview, and no excuse to wear scrubs to an interview, ever. The latter is just really gross, frankly. However, that said, even I would cut a 40 week pregnant woman some slack on interview attire. Not enough slack for scrubs (really, that is just never acceptable. If I'm interviewing you, you've lost the job the minute you walk in in scrubs), but enough to let you slide by without a suit, lol. Anything you might wear to church or something should be fine. A dress, or slacks and blouse. Good luck, on both counts.

The dumz. I gotz em. 'Cause I still don't get what the nonsensical rant has to do with anything. Whatever, carry on.

I think it should be/could be, but is not at present.

How does any of this relate at all to this: our leaders ---- national and local (left and right) are running through our nation/ healthcare system like a swarm of locus devorhoring (sic) and destroying everything, and leaving a pile of s*** it the wake You are all over the place. Maybe if you make one coherent argument, and stick with, it we could discuss it. I can not follow your flight of ideas.

How so? And, FTR, there is nothing lacking wth my hearing, or literacy level, lol.

I think the point was to go needless....

I couldn't make any sense of anything past "as a result of obamacare..."

I think if you don't want a flu shot you have every to refuse, so long as you take a job that does not put patients at risk.

I guess I'm too well educated to understand most of that, but I can assure you that today's health care crisis predates the Obama administration.

It depends on a million and one confounding factors. Short answer, yes. I was the manager of 34 ICU beds and 125+ RNs with an ADN 20 years ago, when I had been a nurse for 5 years. I look back now and think holy cow, what was I/were they thinking?!?!?! I already had a masters and a law degree at the time, but that wasn't why they gave me the job. They said they thought I had leadership ability. The BSN was required, and they gave me a time frame within which to finish it. Would they do that now? I don't know. I doubt it. Some places still do. A lot depends on who is available to do the job. Most depends on who you know. I "knew people," (the right people ) they believed in me, I got the job.

In all likelihood, there is a reason, as hoopchick suggests. I don't believe in the likelihood of a baseless conspiracy taking shape 3 week before graduation either. However, detailing whatever the incident leading up to this circumstance was is probably not a good idea b/c it could possibly identify the poster and make matters worse. Best to keep a lid on it. OP, if you have already exhausted transfer options as you say, and relocating is not an option, that leaves you with appeals channels through your school, your state nursing association, or you can seek legal advice. I think that about sums up the possibilities. Good luck.
