  1. At my nursing school we were incompetent for clinical or not allowed to do them if not passing the parm cal test at the beginning of each clinical rotation. This is for safety reasons. They also...
  2. I'm sorry to hear about that. Can you take non nursing classes to help with your g.p.a and grants? At my nursing school when someone failed they also had to wait a whole year to retake the class,...
  3. When I first started looking into nursing school I had just had my daughter. I had a really high g.p.a too but I kept getting wait listed because nursing was in such a high demand. I even considered...
  4. New grad needs feedback

    I believe it is a risky move. If you accept the position it really won't provide you the experience employers want. You will still be a new grad RN even if you work as a pct for over a year. Keep...
  5. Why is it a crime...

    :yeah::yeah::nurse:Great
  6. University of Phoenix for BSN

    I was also looking at UOP online to do my Rn to BSN. I reconsidered after looking at the price. Try finding a regular university that offers it online. That way your degree doesn't have that you did...
  7. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    I really enjoyed reading your response. I am just a new nurse, just licensed in mid july. But I did see a lot in clinical, and we worked at many different hospitals/floors. Even the shadowing...
  8. You said what I was trying to say, just so much better!
  9. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    As a new nursing student on their first nursing assignment, at a new hospital without knowing the politics or even how things really work there what can one do? Except maybe fail clinical cause the...
  10. OMG SMH you are joking right?:lol2: Just in case you are not: You keep saying you want something in demand, WHO DOESN'T?! Do you think the new nurses on this forum, some without jobs for for over a...
  11. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    lol The sad thing is I heard that many of times within nursing school from instructors or nurses at the hospitals. Another thing that leads to nursing students that think they know EVERYTHING once...
  12. Why do we do this? Why do we allow it?

    Roser I read your responses on the other thread and I have to agree with you 100%. I think students should at least TRY to figure out the answer themselves. If they don't get the concept or the...
  13. What would you say???

    lol even though I'm a new nurse I have come across lots of jerks that were doctors or administrators. It is hard not to encounter people with bad attitudes in any line of work. I worked customer...
  14. Hi I just wanted to post quickly. After talking to a few CNA's today about their relationships with other RNs. I just wanted to say that CNA/PCT/UAP are some of the hardest working people in...
  15. should potential employers use credit checks?

    Credit ratings don't really say much about a person. There are loads of reasons why someone may have bad
  16. should potential employers use credit checks?

    I have had many jobs say they look at your credit. I don't think they should check. I mean if you have bad credit, you NEED a job to fix it. I hate how everything is tied to a credit
  17. Could employers judge people by their names?

    Maybe in high school when the required reading is A Cather in the Rye, he might get some jokes or references. :):) But it doesn't sound like it would present a problem with his ability to find a job....
  18. Could employers judge people by their names?

    I have family members who have named their little boys, "girl" names. Courtney and Stacey both refuse to let anyone call them by their name lol. I guess their mother just really liked their names. I...
  19. That is great. I thank Kaplan for my Nclex. I've been wanting to get something for the GRE for a while now. Thanks for the
  20. Could employers judge people by their names?

    Lol. That's funny I wanted to change my name the whole time growing up. It drove my mom crazy, said it hurt her feelings because she really likes my name. She views changing it as a slap in the face....
  21. Could employers judge people by their names?

    Lol I agree. There is a time and a place for everything. I created an email account purposely for work related stuff that isn't silly or crazy. I do hope that if I applied for a job as MsBossyRN@mail...
  22. CRNA Jobs?

    Visit job websites and type it in to see how many positions are being offered at that hospital. I know at one hospital in my area its not listed under nursing jobs, but under medical jobs, NP is...
  23. Nurses with depression

    Oh no I wasn't trying to imply you walk around all doped up. :) I have a hx of depression and panic disorders. I take anti-depressants daily and benzo's prn. I was just wondering how employers feel...
  24. Could employers judge people by their names?

    So far the responses have been that it not only is possible, but that it does and can happen. I just think it's unfair because people can't pick their names. My daughter has at least 2 girls in her...
  25. Could employers judge people by their names?

    LMAO:D That is so close to my real name that it is scary. No really it is :) Anyway I don't think my name has ever stopped me from getting a job. But then again maybe it has, how would I know? lol...
