  2. Failed drug calculations quiz, need some encouragement...

    MsbossyRN replied to Katie803's topic in General Students

    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,...

    MsbossyRN replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

  4. New grad needs feedback

    MsbossyRN replied to realize's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    MsbossyRN replied to Delag5's topic in School, College Programs

  11. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    MsbossyRN replied to MsbossyRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. Why do we do this? Why do we allow it?

    MsbossyRN replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  16. should potential employers use credit checks?

    MsbossyRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    MsbossyRN replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    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....

    MsbossyRN replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    MsbossyRN replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  24. Could employers judge people by their names?

    MsbossyRN replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    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...
