I say do the interview and play the waiting game. Both jobs may end up wanting you part time! The pre employment checks can take a long time.

I totally freaked out at the 75 part. I almost started to cry right there at Pearson. I held it together for a 2.5 hour drive home!!

I just finished to book also. Wow what a story. I love the fact that she rides horses too. I have recommended this book to all of my medical and veterinary minded friends.

Took the NCLEX on 9/27. It shut off at 75...I thought I was taking a break! Obviously when the screen said it was over and prompted me to answer the last customer service questions I know I was leaving. It took 2 days for the CA BON to post my number.

I am applying for winter or spring. Which ever is the next class. Any suggestions?

I believe that lady was a supervisor over several prisons and had to travel a great deal and deal with many, many shortages at several prisons. She may have gotten 260,000 in one year, but I bet she never saw her family or took a vacation. The average supervior makes over 100.000/year according to the cdc website. My husband is a C/O in CA. Unless you have been in a level 4 prison, I would not judge. I toured it once and may never go back!!

are you asking about the BSN program from MidAmerica. That is the program I am doing. I is still nursing school with clinicals. I am planning on working locally as an RN before starting NP/PA school in Fall 13

Unethical? Was there a confidentiality agreement that had to be signed to interview. Asking what questions are asked during an interview does not guarantee that that question will be asked again and isn't that what headhunters and resume preparers due is get you prepared.

I am a chiropractor working on NP or PA, but in my BSN degree. For my chiro licence I had to take 4 board exam spread over 3 years. The first set of exams were 6 parts of patho phys. The second board, six exam, was more clinical disease/treatment related. The third was one test about more detailed clinical situations. The fourth test was two day long question answer and practical in front of an examiner. Very intense.

I'm in an online program where we still do our clinical rotations with supervision. The test taking is not as simple as it seems. We have a camera that watches us (kinda creapy) during the test and fingerprint scanner to verify our identity. I got a letter from the proctor company about potential cheating because my cat walked in my office and jumped on my desk. No books, no spouse finding answers, no cell phones, no calculators, etc. If I chose to have an actual person proctor me the school would have to approve them. My school denied proctors from one of my classmates because they went to the same church. With the changes in the economy and increased technology, online schools will become more accepted. The quality is there, national boards are still national boards.

My Army recruiter was so nice, but the Air Force was not so happy. I went to the Los Angeles area to meet the AD requiter with all of my docs she requested. The reserves requiter was just as nice and helpful.

I certainly understand the duplicity of your problem. One of my friends who is an Optomitrist saw a guard slip and fracture his leg infront of a nurse. The nurse did nothing. The optomitrist was disgusted that she did not help the guard other than call 911. The guard was not in eminent danger and was off the yard. I had to explain to her that the nurse was actually there for the inmates and his fall was a worker's compensation issue. There is nothing that a nurse can do anyways for a fracture. The guard was stable just had a broke leg. My husband is a guard and we have many friends who are in medical staff, it is hard. The only thing that I can suggest is the problem is not how you treat the guards, but its how you treat the inmates. Good luck

Part of the problem is that the medical staff appears to be "inmate friendly" when the guards are trying to maintain order and not get hurt. The nurses are in a tough position because you must treat the inmate, while believing in the corrections system.

my recruiter told me I would have to wait 12 months between applying is this not accurate for you?

I was told by my recruiter that if I go to the board and get denied, I must wait 12 months for going to the next board.

My nursing gpa is 4.0, overall is 3.4. She did not want my transcripts before she was laughingly telling me no. I still have about 9 mos left in school, so my overall should go higher. I am looking for the NTP program. I will not let her scare me.

I did not even get my packet submitted. My recruiter said my weight was the first issue. I have been steadily losing, but she did not care. My GPA is great, but not high enough. And lastly, we had a problem with our rental house (not our primary residence) that is on my credit. As a kid I broke my left arm, it needed a medical waiver. Basically she said that because it is so competative the was only submitting the "perfect" applicant. I think that meant high GPA with no waivers. I don't think age had much to do with it, but don't know.

For my cohort there are clinical sites in Houston for those who have to travel/fly and in San Antonio for the others. I chose to stay at San An because of the great price I get for lodging at Randolph. The commisary, exchange and house prices can not be beat with cheaper airfare from California. If you want to pm me for more info I would be happy to discuss more about the program.

I am transitioning to nursing practice away from chiropractic because my job hurts. Philosophically chiropractic is awesome, but painful. I takes so much strength to adjust some of these people. On point about WBU, wow, they have been incredible. They, the admin, has back tracked on so much policy. One student did not do any of thier pre requisits until the third quarter when the evaluations went out. The admin staff are letting this person finish the pre req's before they graduate! I delayed the program 3 quarters getting the extra course work done! But what are we to do! The clinicals have been a lot of fun and my classmates are great. I think we have built some great comradery.

Has anyone else had a problem with their recruiter not making waivers. I was just told that the AF is not considering anyone with a waiver or a GPA under 3.5. She denied me for a broken arm and ankle when I was a child.

Where is your recruiter, Which MEPS?

I am using Los Angeles also. My recruiter is not very pleasent. Can you PM me and tell me which one you have.

Chiropractor, Obama Care is the death to private practice!

I'm thinking next year. I heard about the two year thing. I figure I will just keep plugging away. At this point no option is off the table for my career.

I know, but I am hoping that we get a president who like the military....wing and a prayer thing. I am not graduated yet. All I can do is try. Of course I will keep working and hopefully sell my practice and work as an RN until I am selected.
