    what do you say to friends who want to copy

    elijahvegas replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I personally never really cared when people needed my answers or needed to copy, especially friends. Sometimes we just get lazy or things come up and its nice to have someone to rely on every once in...

    Graduating early vs graduating without debt

    elijahvegas replied to murse1293's topic in General Nursing

    No debt no debt no debt!! The only way it would balance out is if you anticipate the extra time spent in school with the latter choice that you save, and if youd be able to make that money back with...

    elijahvegas replied to xvxjared's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NOt liking where this is headed

    elijahvegas replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally would wait to apply again. Maybe even 2 cycles if I need to. Nothing ib my mind can justify the tuition and in turn--high debt that one usually accrues from going to a private uni. Id...

    elijahvegas replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    your paranoia of the internet is astonishing. I would have no idea what any of my friends' moms would look like 20 years ago even if they handed me a picture to compare. you cant be serious with that...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    oh give it a rest. I have quite a few friends that have stripped their way through grad school and med school. Not nearly as uncommon as one would think. That is not at all what defines you as a...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    different strokes for different folks ? If keeping your dignity intact is worth making $11/hr then thats fine, that works for you, and thats okay. But the OP does not feel indignation in what she's...

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    quite the contrary, you literally echoed ALL the judgmental posts that preceded you, except to top it off, you offered NO advice whatsoever, just prattled on about how ashamed you'd be and...

    Better off single?

    elijahvegas replied to westcounty's topic in General Students

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    least helpful response yet. Neither the OP nor the posters care for your judgmental opinion on how the OP makes her money to get through school. None of that is what the OP asked for. Also, nobody...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    elijahvegas replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    your question touches on 2-3 different bodies. Licensure, (BON) and HR for hiring. Background checks typically don't reveal prior places of employment, so I highly doubt something like that would show...

    Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    elijahvegas replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    and i mean that in the mildest, most harmless way possible. i know its hard to detect tone when reading responses on the internet, so im hoping my explanation in no way offended you or was taken as...

    elijahvegas replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    i suppose that the point of my post went beyond your understanding of it, so allow me to clarify a bit the intent of pointing out the irony, and if you still deem it unhelpful then i guess i have...
