  1. How do I get nurse recruiters to call me back?

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

    It is the only new grad program I know of in the city where my boyfriend lives and where I used to live. :) So I have my heart set on moving back...I only moved away for nursing

  2. How do I get nurse recruiters to call me back?

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

    Thanks for the input. It's just frustrating because I think I will have to apply before I finish school as it is an internship program that only has about 2 start dates a year, but on the website,...

  3. What do you listen to while studying

    pitaya replied to That Guy's topic in General Students

    Oh my, one year I had housemates who did nothing but watch Tivo all day and so I lived in the library. I could never ever study at home with them there!! I spent many nights studying to Owl City over...

  4. How do I get nurse recruiters to call me back?

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

    I have not tried emailing again, because the reply I got the first time was very generic and did not address the specific questions I asked, so I felt that calling and talking to a real person would...

  5. NCLEX 2011

    pitaya replied to Kolm45's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks soooo much for posting!!! My Qbank average is also 51% so you just made me feel a whole lot better about my studying, because I was thinking that was pretty awful. I may have to try that...

  6. Nursing textbooks question!

    pitaya replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    I would without a doubt sell the dosage calculation book unless you really have problems with the math!! Actually, if it were me, I would probably sell them all back while they're still worth a lot...

  8. Am I crazy to take Statistics for my 1st pre-req during the summer?

    pitaya replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're not crazy. I got a B in College Algebra and an A in statistics. I had a friend help tutor me, so if you need help, get it!!!! If you don't understand it in class, you won't understand it when...

  9. CU Denver BSN Essay

    pitaya replied to lindsaylat's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There is an art to writing short essays. I would advise against changing the margins. Standard 1 inch margins, double spaced, would be best. If you can get your point across concisely, that is the...

  10. New graduate moving to colorado please help!

    pitaya replied to NY2CO's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks for the info! :) I would love to do that, but I feel like it would be best to practice my skills in a hospital first. I am encouraged by hearing about others who are active in global health,...

  11. New graduate moving to colorado please help!

    pitaya replied to NY2CO's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Did she get a job as a NURSE with the Peace Corps? Because I heard they don't take many nurses and I didn't know if you could really be a nurse with them or get good nursing experience in the Peace...

  12. Took NCLEX Today & got the good pop up! Tips for passing

    pitaya replied to Vanillanut's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the post! I really want to get Hurst review, but I am so conflicted. I just don't want to spend the hundreds of dollars on it if I don't need to. My school uses Kaplan so I'm taking that...

  13. University Colorado Nurse Residency

    pitaya replied to A.Manning's topic in Colorado Nursing

    What is an ACP? Do most nurse residencies heavily weigh GPA? I feel like GPA is my only chance...I have a 4.0 but no

  14. Did getting into nursing school seem like a life altering event?

    pitaya replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    pitaya replied to want2banurse35's topic in General Students

    Have fun! Take up rock climbing, hit the beach, go to another country, sing your lungs out at a concert, run a 5k, plant a garden, visit your cousins, go dancing, go to the drive-in, have a barbeque,...

  16. Dark age testing policy

    pitaya replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I think this is common in nursing school. I wish I could keep all my old nursing tests, but I'm only allowed to review it in the company of the teacher for about 2 weeks after the test was taken. I...

  17. Prestigious School for BSN?

    pitaya replied to PortlandStudent's topic in General Students

    Hmmm....I would just do the math in regards to finances and figure out how long it would take yourself to pull yourself out of that debt and if that will be worth it to you. I have a friend who chose...

  19. How does a Straight B student Survive an Accelerated Nursing School World?

    pitaya replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    Deeva, it depends on the class. For some classes where there was a ton of reading, I could not keep up with it, so I would focus on the powerpoints and practice questions only because that was...

  20. spanish speaking student

    pitaya replied to amberbamber's topic in General Students

    She'll have to take the NCLEX in English, (I'm assuming they only have it in English? That would be awesome if I was wrong) so it seems the best thing to do is just to have her practice doing NCLEX...

  21. Summer

    pitaya replied to emtbtofuturenurse's topic in General Students

    I would get the Saunders NCLEX book and read a chapter a day and do the questions at the end of each chapter. That's what I'm doing.

  22. New grad nurse residencies in Tucson.

    pitaya replied to pitaya's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks, Staragate. :) I'm just super nervous that I might end up somewhere that doesn't have a good new grad support system in place, but I guess if I get a job at all, I'm one of the lucky

  23. Nursing & Spanish

    pitaya replied to inthespotlight7o's topic in General Students

    Yes, do it! Don't just do it for marketability, think about how much more comfortable you feel and your patients feel when you can communicate effectively. People speak Spanish all across America. It...

    Hey, all! I would like a little advice on what to do on my resume I've been working on. Here's the situation: I attended one year of an ADN nursing program at a community college. My grades were...

  25. To put school on my resume or not?

    pitaya replied to pitaya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks, Cindy Loo, I was under the impression that it would be misleading of me not to list every school that I've attended for college, but what you just said makes me feel a lot better about the...
