  1. Worried about a new job

    xluescluesx replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't sound legal! If you were hired for a specific position they can't pull a bait and switch on you! Highly

  2. RN moving to LA

    xluescluesx replied to herrin2011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse but a lot of my friends are new grads and the job market out here is pretty brutal! Good thing you at least have a BSN, that will definitely be an advantage. Good news is that there...

  3. CSULA ELMN 2011

    xluescluesx replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I emailed Kathy to cancel my interview. I'm sticking with Mount St. Mary's accelerated BSN. I'm not sure which advanced practice specialty interests me yet so I think a BSN is the best choice for me...

  4. Lost my dream job

    xluescluesx replied to shippoRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you're so close to getting your BSN, you should totally do it!! There is no reason why you wouldn't have another opportunity to interview there again. In fact, they'll probably be very impressed...

  5. A/P help needed!!

    xluescluesx replied to excedium's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Repetition is the key in learning anatomy. Just staring at your notes might make it tough to retain anything. I would go online and find blank pictures of anatomy and then fill them in. Writing really...

  6. Placebo's & Trust

    xluescluesx replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    I think she means well but it sure sounds like she's going a little

  7. CSULA ELMN 2011

    xluescluesx replied to ADEcstatic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sam, I'm so glad to hear you got in!! (congrats to everyone else as well!) Is CSULA gonna remain your first choice or are you still going to go through the CSULB

  8. gift ideas for nurses I have clinical with...

    xluescluesx replied to ldutton2's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I was gonna say the same. Something everyone can enjoy but isn't over the top. Chocolate or fruit bouquet sounds great. So nice of you to do

  9. Has anyone volunteered as a Clinical Care Extender???

    xluescluesx replied to tiffunay's topic in General Students

    I was a CCE for about six months last year. Everyone I interviewed with got accepted. I don't think it's too hard to get in, they really need your help and you provide a lot of help to the nurses for...

  10. In need of some advice Please!

    xluescluesx replied to OOklahomaGal's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you need to change anything to become a nurse, sounds like you already have what it takes. You just need to work on your confidence a little and not let other people get to you so much....

  11. LPN in need of help!

    xluescluesx replied to LostLittleLPN's topic in General Nursing

    3.2 is the minimum GPA required for ABSN's in your area? That seems kind of high! In my area it's 3.0. Try talking to admissions in some of these programs. For example, I went to an informational...

  12. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    xluescluesx replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    You could get your BA in biology and then you could go into an accelerated BSN program, since you'd already have a bachelor's in another field. That's what I'm doing, my BA was in biology also. That...

  13. Are you insulted????

    xluescluesx replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    You're very lucky to have a job that you love and proud of. Not many people can say the same about their job, whatever career it is that they have. The nurses who tried to belittle you are very...

  14. Unemployment Benefits when you are a student?

    xluescluesx replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Nursing

    You are allowed to collect unemployment while you are in school. In my state (CA), the claim form asks if you started a new school program. I am currently on unemployment and I always check no in that...

  15. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    xluescluesx replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can see why this irritates you. It would make me really angry too. I can relate a little bit. My GPA because I was a bio major and we had to take classes beyond the prereqs that were definitely no...

  16. African Americans as nurses.

    xluescluesx replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with lili above! People can be so mean! I think it's great that you are already considering your career at a young age, and I'm sure you'd make a great nurse.

  21. termination from nursing school

    xluescluesx replied to cwgirl7's topic in General Students

    I agree with Dazglue above. I'm sure there is an appeal process at your school and I don't see why you should be terminated unless you really hurt someone. Sounds to me like you might have a

  22. (RN) Salaries

    xluescluesx replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I'm jealous! A two bedroom house here in Los Angeles will go for around 1800 bucks a month, depending on the area. I can't believe my

    xluescluesx replied to SDnurse2011's topic in Maryland Nursing

    No it's loans, you do have to pay it. Sorry I meant federal stafford loans. The rest has to be private loans which I'm struggling with because my credit is not too great right now. Speaking of which,...

    xluescluesx replied to SDnurse2011's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You get $20,500 in federal aid, and the rest you have to make up for with private loans. That's the part I'm working on right now. : / I talked to my financial aid counselor today and she told me...
