So, my GPA is pretty low after being an idiot my first few years of college. I have the minimum and my grades have improved dramatically. I'm planning on raising my grade as much as possible before I apply. I have close to 2 years, so ample time. So,...

Just finished my final for Economics and bombed it. Had such a hard time in the class. Does anyone know what the passing grade is for the class? I was told a D by the student services. I'm just panicking. I had an 86 before the final. Now I have a 69...

Is it strange that the OP hasn't responded with anymore details? There's quite a few logical posts regarding some things that probably need some clarification... and yet nothing.

A old 97 year old with bad dementia once screamed, "your mother was a wh**e and you'll be one too"! I almost died laughing. The look on her face was awesome...

A friend of mine just went to DD in Massachusetts yesterday and got her free coffee (although you an only get an iced dark roast). So it's definitely true!

Beth Israel-Plymouth (formerly Jordan hospital) hires new grads.

Coming in and being a tech in my hospital happens often. I actually don't mind it at all. I can do a really thorough skin check for the nurse I'm working with. I also help any of the nurses that are running late and need help. It's about teamwork!

I'm 29 now and in an ADN-BSN program. These thoughts cross my mind all the time as I'd like to get into an NP program next year, but I'd also like to get pregnant this year. My husband is gone half the month for work so it would be tough to balance a...

Rn of 1 year (prior lpn w/ 3 years) Ma Float position in large acute hospital 29.61/hr, 1.90diff evenings, w/e diff 1.55

Is anyone from Massachusetts doing the FNP? I know they weren't accepting Ma residents for awhile, but I'm not seeing anything on the website that states that anymore. Thanks!

My vice is an almond joy iced coffee from a local coffee shop called maylous. Too yummy!

Hey all, I'm taking the Nclex tomorrow, and studying/reviewing last minute things. I jumped on allnurses for a bit of a break. So here's my question.. What is the theme song to your nursing career?

I went to QC for my RN and MPI for my LPN. MPI is awful. I'm pretty sure tuition is up to 24k for their 1 year lpn program. That's way too much. Their nclex pass rates are really low. Many people failed out of the program and they didn't have any hel...

Started my LPN at 25 and finished it at 26. Began my ASN at 27 and finished at my current age of 28. I just started my BSN and will finish at age 29!

I wouldn't look at it as having 35-38 residents, but look at it as how many things are to be done on that shift. Typically there aren't a lot of meds or treatments to be done. I would make a list of things that need to be completed. I remember workin...

I'm sorry but taking an RN job for 10/hr is bad for the nursing community. Basically by taking it your showing that nurses will accept awful pay for such a responsible position. It's a "slippery slope" as they say.

I think you're all just being trolled. He literally has changed his icon from a vain "selfie" to one of those "troll face" drawings. Methinks he is pleased with the outcome of his trolliness.

I took it at the end of February and only had generic names. It through me off a bit, but I had literally 4 med questions. So it wasn't a big deal.

So I applied for a job online, but it was for a job fair. I received an email today giving the job fair info. It also said: -For this job fair we are only looking for the positions and requirements below. No New Grads at this time. Three Jobs were po...

Update: I have received two calls from this hospital for two different positions after going in for the job fair and applying online for various positions. So maybe it helped? The HR woman said they would keep my resume in hand for any other position...

Ma 27/hr day shift 7a-7p, weekends= $5 diff, weeknights = $7 diff, weekend nights= $9 diff 3 yrs LPN Exp, new grad RN (adn) Rehab hospital

I think it took mine about 6 or 7 business days to show up on the MaBON website.

Did you receive pell grants for your college education? Many people would consider that to be a "government handout" as well...

I was just recently hired at a rehab hospital, but literally sent out over 100 applications in massachusetts. Three years of LPN experience and recent RN grad. It was rough!
