I had an interview last Friday (May 4) and the clinical supervisor said I would be receiving a call today on whether or not I had the job or not. With my first job, I had a contract and I didn't even have a formal interview and got hired on the spot....

Why is it when you're in nursing school, or in orientation for your new floor, they always tell you to "Speak Up" if that's not what they really mean? It seems like they really mean to tell you is shut up! I always hear nurses telling other nurses h...

AOx1, I have no idea where you got the idea that I blame my floor or nursing school for physician's behavior. I was simply saying that nurses in school always tell the students to speak up. They should practice what they preach is all I am saying. If...

I am so sick of people saying that "life gets in the way" Sorry but I have a right to vent here too. Just because someone has a bad day or week, never gives someone the right to treat another person like a piece of crap. Period. End of story. "Life g...

I wanted to post on this board because I don't really feel like I am getting a lot of support or understanding in the non-nursing world. I recently quit my job at the hospital I worked at. I am technically a new grad and had only been working there f...

Just read all the latest posts. Thank You all. I appreciate the support. I just wanted to comment on those who told me that I should've hung in there until I got a new job. I am not sure if those of you who have said that have ever had severe anxiety...

You all have no idea how much you've helped me. I just wish I would've worked with nurses like you all!

I am so sorry you are going through that! You are not alone. I pray it gets better for you. I wish I had more nurses to lean on at work and then I wouldn've have had to leave so suddenly.

Thank You for the replies. I struggled with the decision to quit due to finances as well. My husband works, but his work has been slow. I had a hard decision to make, but felt that staying would do more damage than good. I didn't want this experience...

Both my parents are nurses and I only have full support from one parent, even though they both admit to having the same issues. One was the exact same as I was, which is why it is confusing as to why they reacted differently when I decided to quit. I...

Tyler, what do you mean by " the above 4 statements?" I just logged on and haven't read all 25 pages of what everyone had to say. I was simply telling the standards at my school.

I start August 23rd. Wow, I read that some of you have to have a 75 to pass. That's failing at our school =( We can't have below an 80.

@ sncmata: WOW! When I read your post I could not believe the reponse you got from your family. I am so sorry to hear that . That is awful. Don't listen to that garbage...sorry to be so harsh because I don't know you & I am not trying to judge yo...

I just had my orientation yesterday and begin my full day next Monday... Any advice for survival, to not stressing out would really help. I tend to get overwhelmed when I see a large study load, but after I get over it, I usually do really well. I ha...

Thanks, are u still in school ?

Obviously, eveyone was thrilled, I assume! But, I thought it would be fun to tell our stories of how we got to this point ... I got my letter today(August 2nd). My heart was pounding as I opened the mailbox and then I saw a big brown envelope and tor...

I was wondering how your schools differ from mine ?? We have many students who have waivers for fall of this year including myself because I just completed a prenursing course after a deadline. Some students just received their acceptance letters ye...

What I mean is at my school we have to send in waivers to apply for clinical if certain classes are not finished before a certain date. It just says that we promise to pass with at least a C or better & we will be considered for clinical. If you ...

Well, what do you think the answer is since it's your final ? What was your first gut response?

Do they not give answers to the questions ??

I was just wondering if there were many users here that are attending NSU or any that have graduated from there ? I am about to be taking my NURA 1050 course this summer. I was wondering about GPAs and TEAS test scores . Any info will help. I have fr...

"Wow! Good thing you didn't use any sweeping generalizations..." I am just saying what I said b/c nursing is so competitive that a lot of people think that they are better than the other students when they should all be supporting each other. What's...

I know it depends on how many years you've got, but my mom is making 28.00/hr in a Dr.'s office and my dad was making about $500 a night! Whatever that is an hour I don't know, but he was making about 40/hr with an agency...sounds like good money to...

Wow, that's pretty awful to say that NSU will hinder you in your nursing career. Both my parents graduated from there and say it was beyond stressful and hard, but that you get the best education there. NSU is the best nursing school around here. I a...

The state I live in, LPNs and MAs make about the same amont of money per hour. I was wanting to be a MA while in nursing school, but got told it would be a waste of money when I am spending so much money to become a R.N. and I will make double or tri...
