  1. Nursing School changing criteria to pass classes

    sMoLsNurse replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    Ours was a 73. I think my school had a 96% chance pass rate the first time on the NCLEX. 12/40 failed going into the last semester, but everyone made it after that to graduation. I wanted to add that...

  2. I'm going to a Job Fair. Thoughts??

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

    So, I ended up going and the HR lady said that they weren't hiring new grad RNs. I told her I thought I would take a chance and come in since I had LPN experience. She said she thought that it was...

  4. I'm going to a Job Fair. Thoughts??

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

    Thanks hope! It's apparently a job fair at a hospital with interviews being conducted on site. I think I'll attend anyways. I don't think it can hurt. I've sent out 58 applications in the past week....

  5. I'm going to a Job Fair. Thoughts??

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

    My LPN experience is 1 year in a SNF and almost 2 years in a group home setting, working with people with developmental disabilites, seizure disorder, strokes, and tbis. I'm currently in a BSN program...

  7. Resume/Cover Letter Critique

    sMoLsNurse posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    * I feel like my resume has a strange feel to it. I had help from someone who is chief of human resources, but she was not in healthcare. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I also just...

  10. Boots & curls to an interview: Yay or Nay??

    sMoLsNurse replied to ProudMom511's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I always wear my hair up to interviews. How short is the skirt? Knee-high boots really don't seem to be appropriate. I usually wear black dress pants, but that's just my 2

  11. WHat's your plan after RN BSN?

    sMoLsNurse replied to MissLUckyRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was an LPN for 2.5 years. I just finished my RN and I passed the boards. I haven't even received my license number, but I started a bsn program on Monday. I'd love to go on for my fnp, it's what I...

  12. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    sMoLsNurse replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    My uniform ripped in various places as I only bought one for clinicals. So I most likely won't be wearing it again. I also have white nursing shoes, not Danskos but cheaper ones. I really would like a...

  13. Medical Professional Institute in Malden, MA LPN Program

    sMoLsNurse replied to deemarys's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I just wanted to update that MPI has gone down to a 68% pass rate for 2012. That is pretty awful, but I'm definitely biased as I went there for my LPN in 2011. RNlolo- I attended Quincy Colleges LPN...

  14. Did i pass? I'm freaking out now...

    sMoLsNurse replied to MAStudent8578's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine Wednesday the 26th at noon, and finished at 1pm. I was able to access the pearson vue website for quick results after 1pm on Friday. So i would give it a couple more hours. I'm not sure if...

  15. Hurst Review Opinion?

    sMoLsNurse replied to jennifer_app's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I actually really enjoyed Hurst Review. I bought it about a month before my final exam in my RN program. I ended up scoring 10 points higher on my final than any other exam in the whole program. The...

  16. Roaches ON the patient

    sMoLsNurse replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

    I heard if you step on a roach the eggs can get stuck to the bottom of your shoe and end up making a second home at your place!!!

  17. Question about fluid volume deficit

    sMoLsNurse replied to Novo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think the example she gave is a bit confusing. Hypotonic would just be losing more solute than water, like in a GI

  18. RN to BSN Online, start dates year round?

    sMoLsNurse posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Anyone know of any online RN to BSNs online that have start dates year-round? I know Chamberlain does, but they seem a bit pricey. Any other suggestions of schools to check out?

  19. Buying a car for nursing school

    sMoLsNurse replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Students

    Before my LPN program I had to buy a car, this was in 2010. I bought a 2002 Honda Civic with 117k miles on it. I still have it and it runs great at almost 160k now. I think I paid $4500 for

  20. Please Help RN to Med School Advice

    sMoLsNurse replied to futurecaregiver96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally am not offended by what you posted. I would suggest go for nursing and then maybe on to an NP. You could always do a part-time RN program if it's too much time spent at school for a...

  21. Ebooks at Chamberlain

    sMoLsNurse replied to locjoie's topic in Chamberlain College

    Which E-reader do they recommend? I was going to ask "Santa" for

  22. My GPA is completely shot. Do I have a chance of getting into any school?

    sMoLsNurse replied to MorningStars's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to let you know that I'm an LPN and just finished RN school. I had a 2.3 when I applied and they definitely questioned me regarding the low GPA. I had taken their entrance exam and got a...

  23. RN to BSN Online, start dates year round?

    sMoLsNurse replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Awesome, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with the 3.0 thing at WGU. I know people have been accepted into higher degree programs post-WGU, but it makes me a bit worried. I did contact GCU awhile back...
