Greetings Everyone, I just took the TEAS for the first time and received a score of 85.3%. I am disappointed but I know that I still have two more times I can take it; this was my first. I haven't finished my chemistry classe...

Thank you both so much!!! You won't believe how much weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you thank you!

Same here. In the area I live in the RN's at Hospice have benefits offered to them. The salary is comparable but not quite as much as an RN at the hospital. I would definitely contact the organization to be sure though.

Greetings, Has anyone gone through the HPSP program offered by the Air Force? Can you tell me about it? I spoke with a recruiter and he recommended that I talk with people that have done it to get an objective perspective. Also on COT; two websites...

Hi and Congrats on getting into a nursing program! I live in the central valley in California (in a small town of about 75,000 people) so that is where I'm speaking from. In our area, no there is not a demand for LVN's. We do have three convalesce...

Greetings, I've seen posts on National University but I see LA and San Diego alot. Does anyone have information on the accerlerated BSN program at National University? The BSN program? I can apply now (accerlerted BSN) but am hoping to work for a y...

Please help. I've seen so many posts on National University in LA and San Diego but nothing for the Fresno, CA campus. I am considering the ABSN. Does anyone have any information they can tell me? Your own personal stories or from people you know....

Great tips....thank you so much. I calendarize everything...only way I got through my masters.

Congrats congrats congrats!!!! Keep up the great work and the excitement you have!

What a heart touching story. There are people that make such great differences in our lives. Thank you for sharing this story. I've been feeling so lost lately, I just can't get my head above water. This story touched my heart and actually gave ...

Greetings, I watched a show on BBCA last night "24 in the ER" which is a documentary where they film 24 hours in an ER in a major hospital in England. There are interviews and follow ups with patients and staff and so on. My questions are regarding ...

Educator....teacher for 6 years then administration for five then retired from education

Congrats on passing!!! I'm 38 and hopefully after completing my MSN (FNP) I can join the Air Force. I'm just curious, how old are you? Feel free to not answer, I know its quite a personal question, I was just wondering because you wrote that you w...

Life.

I have to ask...what are some of the things you've taken out of ears in the ED?

Congrats!!! Please post back and let us know how it goes. I'm so excited for you! Happy thoughts and positive energy flowing your way.

I don't think you have to list this either. If you didn't work there and collect a paycheck them I don't see that you were fired. I would see it as, for whatever reason, the DON changed her mind about hiring you. To be employed somewhere you need ...

Thank You for the update! I LOVE reading your posts and blog....its so great!

I'm not sure where you live but I would check all the programs you can. In California we have online/hybrid, part time, full time, and accelerated programs. I'm a single mother and when I decided to go back to school (for nursing) I told my daughter...

Laughing RN, I agree, and I don't think you sounded mean, she needs to do the research. Would you answer someone's question, "Should I be a nurse?"; no, its up to that person to figure it out. I would recommend that she ask if she could shadow both ...

I don't think comparing salaries would be the answer, I find it insulting. But back to the point. Where's the fine line? We (not nurses but consumers) shop for low prices and want costs kept low. Businesses need to watch the bottom line, customers...

I don't think you made a mistake taking the job; in this economy jobs are hard to come by and you got a job and some experience. I don't know where you're located but in California there are universities that have hybrid online classes. CSU Sacramen...

. do you find this insulting? i don't think the writer was involved in nursing or the healthcare system at all. what does snf mean? it's secret code for nursing homes with nurses.

I meant to say my retirement salary (when I retired) was calculated at 40% of my averaged (its 3 highest years) salary making my retirement salary about $50,000 a year and I get COLA raises every year based on my retirement salary.

I would definitely talk to your supervisor first, and calmly because you may need the reference if there aren't many other jobs available.
