  1. Discrimination Against Relocaters

    33762FL replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have you tried disarming them with a big smile and a line like, "i've always wanted to live here, i just love it and i love xxxxx hospital. I like the more relaxed lifestyle here and the lower cost of...

  2. Nurses and the LORD

    33762FL replied to Seiya174's topic in General Students

    My personal experience in nursing school, nursing, and this board is that nursing tends to attracts a lot of religious people for whatever reason. I live in an area where there seems to plenty of...

  3. Select All That Apply.... Any Books to Help?

    33762FL replied to HappyMeNow's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used many sources to study for my NCLEX, but Davis's Q&A 2010 Test Plan had way more SATA than any of the other NCLEX books and CD's I had. That was my favorite book, I found those questions to...

  4. Seriously?

    33762FL replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    At my nursing school we took report from the primary RN at the nurses's station (never in the patient's room) and there was also a posted chart that told the staff who the students were and which...

  5. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    33762FL replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    I was in human resources before I went to nursing school. I made the switch because I didn't like sitting at a desk all day, I did not like the corporate culture, I wanted a job in science/medicine, I...

  6. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    33762FL replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I got a two-year nursing degree and have a previous BA, so I researched all this bfore I chose the ADN in the first place. BSN has specific classes. If you already have two bachelor's degrees, chances...

  7. why is school sooo expensive

    33762FL replied to IUstudent's topic in General Students

    Okay, I see. I had read your original post and it sounded like you didn't want to tell your mother at all about the financial aid issues, but that is not the case. Have you tried ethnic scholarships?...

  8. why is school sooo expensive

    33762FL replied to IUstudent's topic in General Students

    Why is school so expensive? Because years ago congress decided that anybody with a pulse was eligible to borrow tens of thousands of dollars for tuition, all guaranteed by the government. With tens of...

  9. AHHHH ACLS course problem!! I don't know what to do!

    33762FL replied to nurseypoo87's topic in General Nursing

    There is a book called "ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy", from that (you guessed it!) wonderful Made Incredibly Easy series. It's soft cover and not very expensive at about $30. You can easily...

  10. Singled out nursing student

    33762FL replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    Are you the only male in your class? I would wager that your tough time fitting in probably has a lot more to do with being male (especially if you are the only one) rather than being black. Sometimes...

  11. Community College? You must be stupid.

    33762FL replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Right after high school, I got a useless Bachelor's degree from a very fancy, expensive private liberal arts college in New England. A decade later, I decided to finally pursue nursing and I attended...

  12. For those of you who are having feelings of failure about the nclex..check this out..

    33762FL replied to believeallispossible's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I highly recommend studying and preparing well for the NCLEX rather than hocus-pocus like "visualize passing and you will pass." Get multiple NCLEX books, do hundreds of questions per day, dedicate at...

  13. thomas edison state college RN-BSN?

    33762FL replied to xdelitezx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just sent in my application to them last night. I'd love to hear some reviews as well. Judging by their website, they're generous with transfer credits and have minimal extraneous coursework...

  14. Should I Quit My Job?

    33762FL replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in General Students

    Potentially failing out of nursing school because working at Wal-Mart leave you too little study time doesn't make sense at all. Talk to your parents, ask if they can help you with gas and cat food...

  15. Concerns about interview/resume

    33762FL replied to NSGstudent12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only reason you might want to consider putting the other schools on your resume is if you need to "account for time". You definitely do not want to look as if you have gaps in your work and school...

  16. Online applications-should I also show up at HR?

    33762FL replied to mom35's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, this is how it's done these days. Big employers use a software system called Taleo, so that is where you're sending your resume when you fill out an online application. Someone in HR is in charge...

  17. Student looking for a christian school in Texas with a great nursing program!

    33762FL replied to CaseymcFacey's topic in Texas Nursing

    I may be misunderstanding the question here, but every university has a religious studies department with all kinds of classes, not just christian colleges. Your local branch of your state university...

  18. Concerns about interview/resume

    33762FL replied to NSGstudent12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked in HR before I entered nursing. My first impression of someone stuttering is exactly what you said, that the person is nervous on the interview. Have someone practice interviews with you,...

  19. Starting to feel like my ADN was a mistake

    33762FL replied to Peerless's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You only just passed in June - give it more time. Apply to new jobs every day, something will eventually come up for you. If you can afford it, enroll in an RN-BSN bridge and include it on your...

  20. New grad taking ACLS course??

    33762FL replied to nurseypoo87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new grad and I am taking ACLS. It's required for all the job listings I've seen, and it's not that expensive at $285. I'm taking it because I know I'll need to have it for a job, so it's one...

  21. Used as a job reference.

    33762FL replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in HR before I made a career change to nursing, and I can tell you that you pretty much don't even have to give someone a negative reference if they were a bad employee. When the new...

  22. How many got SELECT ALL THAT APPLY QUESTION? pass or fail?

    33762FL replied to happifrise's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX-RN at the end of June. I didn't count but I'd say about 40% of the questions I got were SATA, it was unbelievable. I passed with 75 questions

  23. Is it looked down on if you go for BSN full time after graduation instead of working?

    33762FL replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to be superior, I'm just saying that for a new grad, acute care experience IS the best situation. You use more skills in acute care than home health or LTC, it pays more, and a hospital...

  24. Is it looked down on if you go for BSN full time after graduation instead of working?

    33762FL replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the hospital job regardless of the commute or location you don't like. You don't want to do home health or LTC if you don't have to. Hospital experience is the best kind of experience,...

  25. NCLEX question from my exam

    33762FL replied to prob22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd pick A. Hoorificeness & singed nose hairs is a smoke inhalation and they can de-compensate fast. ABC - airway, breathing,
