  1. Senior nursing student needs your advice on working as a tech

    Calixan replied to sweetER's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, with 14-21 patients, I am thinking they will have you do CNA work rather than Tech work. That is how my hospital is too. I am a Nurse Extern right now which is pretty much the same as a Tech,...

  2. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    Calixan replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's the way your answer came out. "If you could only manage a 2.4 GPA, what makes you think you can undertake grad school." Maybe a better choice of words next time. You never know what is...

    Calixan replied to sillygooseRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Calixan replied to Saalbunch's topic in General Nursing

  12. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    Calixan replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, a 2.4 is above a C average. Below a C would be below a 2.0. Also, you said people would have "tremendous challenges" in an ACLS course without ICU experience? Well I will be graduating...

    Calixan replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

  18. Master's in nursing with low GPA of 2.4

    Calixan replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    lol @ MsBruiser's comment All joking aside though, no one person can tell you how fast you can get your GPA up unless they knew how many hours you had on your transcripts. The more hours you have, the...

  21. Please is anyone willing to critique my resume!!!

    Calixan replied to tlc2u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was thinking the same thing but didn't feel right saying that since I'm still a student. This resume just seems to be scrambled and not very orderly at all. You know they sale templates for resumes...

  22. Please is anyone willing to critique my resume!!!

    Calixan replied to tlc2u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh sorry, two more things. Under "nursing school experience" you have some things with a coma and some things with a dash. You need to do one or the other and be consistent. Second thing is why do...

    Calixan replied to tlc2u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Calixan replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Well, like I said I am a nurse extern so I have done ekg, foleys and assessments when patients arrive on the floor BUT have never done it as apart of school clinicals so I'm not really "checked off"...
