    Graduate Nursing schools with no GRE

    LadyFree28 replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

    That's because it's BSN first-at least proving my one point that you STILL have to have a BSN FIRST before entering a MSN program at Jeff. Also note that students MAY enter a MSN program; if you don't...

    I Want To Support My Pre-Nursing Student Girlfriend. Please Help!

    LadyFree28 replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree. No one can anticipate what they need during nursing school until they are *in* the program itself. Your best course of action is to be present...sometimes silence from a support person can go...

    What I learned this week (7/4/15)....

    LadyFree28 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week: Working on the Fouth wasn't so bad, until after 9-crush and back to back devolving to keep me on my toes; but had a helluva-time eating and contributing with water ice help keep smiles on...

    Dear Miss Manners, How to I deal with touchy/feely coworkers?

    LadyFree28 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain... There is (was?) a resident who I affectionately call Dr. Bigteeth, which I am sure she was Miss Congeniality runner up somewhere who tried to get touchy-feely during a rant she...

    Think I failed my phone interview

    LadyFree28 replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    Each time I had a phone interview, the HR person called me back within the week to schedule; most forward applications to the management and if they are interested, will request to interview the...

    Nursing Jobs

    LadyFree28 replied to amglover93's topic in General Students

    There's no over-exaggerating in my area. When you have at least 2-dozen schools pumping out 100 graduates, that comes down to at lest 1200-2400 grads; at least 50-60 percent are from the area; 60%...

    The Wisdom of Lurking

    LadyFree28 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. I cannot stomach the media sites...it's completely outrageous and people run amok with NO sense of etiquette; my aura can not handle it. I find this place as a safe space to express my...

    Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    Hope you can help

    LadyFree28 replied to Mreed8959's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ^This. Depending on your state's BON, you may have expired on your time to take the NCLEX and may need to go back to school. Contact the BON and go from there. Best

    Wouldn't it make more sense to have all nurses become Rn's first?

    LadyFree28 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ANA is for registered nurses; NAPNES is for LPNs...both advocate for each scope and role respectively. Another piece of the puzzle are state nursing associations, which set the tone of scope and...

    Have you ever fainted 😕

    LadyFree28 replied to KMarieD's topic in General Nursing

    Never as a nurse, but when I was a PN student watching a skin graft surgery; the other time a near-faint during my BSN studies watching a Ortho surgery-the drilling was too much for me. Both cases...

    Nurses, how do you view your job?

    LadyFree28 replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

    THIS!!! And believed me, all I ever wanted to be was a nurse; I studied hard and researched and found out that I had the flexibility to work three days a week, not be a 9-5 job and could work at night...

    8 yrs post nursing school

    LadyFree28 replied to nrsnggirl's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the state, you may have maxed out your time to test, so you may have to go back to school because it has been so long, and healthcare has definitely changed; you need to keep that in...

    Advice Needed: When is it time to pursue something else?
