  3. Nightingale college school of nursing

    Yuppers21 replied to emilynorth's topic in General Nursing

    I would worry less about a BSN program and concentrate more on getting a CNA/PCA/PCT job either before school or while in it. BSN is important, but right now the new grads that are most likely to get...

    Yuppers21 replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    cmd4, Find a tech/CNA/ect job in a healthcare setting and your chances for getting hired after graduation should increase exponentially (as long as you are a good employee that is). Now, that's not...

  9. Discrimination, discrimination.. Tell me what you think.

    Yuppers21 replied to MaravillosaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. New Grads: Lets take action together!!

    Yuppers21 replied to aubrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yuppers21 replied to Awesomepossum's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Bye bye Nursing

    Yuppers21 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you only applied to positions in your area/state? If so, why? I know some new grads may have circumstances that keep them from relocating, but for most of us, it is an unwillingness to move out...

  21. Too many schools?

    Yuppers21 replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Students

    By the way, keep in mind I am not suggesting closing down current schools who are up and operating under present guidelines. All I am trying to stimulate discussion on is whether or not it would be a...

  22. Too many schools?

    Yuppers21 replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Students

    Of course this is america, and as long as done within in legal boundries, a business is allowed (and usually encouraged) to open, run and ideally profit. So with that in mind, why should anyone...

    Yuppers21 replied to Ackeem's topic in General Students

  25. Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    Yuppers21 replied to Linda328's topic in General Students
