I have a friend in a similar situation. A drug seeking patient called the nurse advocate and accused her of diverting. So they escorted her off the floor midshift, not discreetly. She did a urine and...
I was just accepted for the class starting in February. Sounds like a huge risk to commit to this school. It sounds like if accreditation is pulled I would still finish with the teach through plan,...

I am a new grad RN, and I was looking into this program. As a new grad I'm a little ways from attempting a management position. This program appeals to me because of the cost and self pace. I'm...
I will be a new grad in May and have received an offer about 2.5 hours from where I live. Its in the ICU, the department I wanted, but is also 3-5$ less than what I was expecting/hoping to get. Its...

I am graduating from an AT-BSN May 12. I have worked part time through the entire program. I have worked as a Unit Secretary/Nurse Tech in a Hospital for about 1/2 the program. It was the best...
My lil sis just got fully accepted to Penn Valley RN program. Nursing tests are so different from general ed test, what resources can I get her to help her prepare for the critical thinking based...
I won't graduate until May 12 with my RN/BSN, but with all the talk of new grads having trouble getting their foot in the door I want to be ready and ahead of the game. I am curious what kinds of...

I am a nursing student, and recently my mom was hospitalized with pneumonia. She is fine now, but she spent several days in the ICU. One of the days I was with her I noticed her young nurse with 2...
BlazerGuy, Thanks for the reality! Yeah I know its hard for everyone right now, its good to know what to expect. Military was almost a back up for me, knowing what a hard time I will have as a new...
I am just starting my research into military RN options. I didn't realize it was so competitive to get in. Is this a particular program or is it in general? Is it difficult to get into all branches,...

I'm not sure if there is a preference in my area, I am in Kansas City. I actually don't care where I get a job, if I have to relocate that would be fine with me. I know in KC they are pushing LPNs out...
I have started an accelerated track BSN-RN program. I was also accepted into an ADN nursing program. The AT-BSN that I am in right now is very expensive and I am having trouble finding help and...
I'm about to start an AT-BSN to grad in May 2012. I also am hoping to get a CRNA as my career of choice, I'm a bit worried though with all the talk of scarce jobs for new RN's. Especially since I...
