    Grades don't matter!

    RainDreamer replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, a C student is classified as "average", but the original post equates "C student" with being an "average nurse". And that's where I

    Grades don't matter!

    RainDreamer replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone one here would say you are a snob since you are "doing the best you can, putting in the most effort, and doing a good job". Definitely not. With the phrases like "I am not...

    RainDreamer replied to nursealanarae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You absolutely did NOT do anything wrong. She was 20 minutes late for her shift ..... you shoulda been gone by the time the patient started vomiting anyway, or at least almost done with report....

    Grades don't matter!

    RainDreamer replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get straight A's throughout nursing school. I didn't get straight C's either. I busted my butt and did the very best that I could. I got some A's, some B's, and yes, even some C's. Does...

    Securing UVC/UAC?

    RainDreamer replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think I'd have to see this "bridge" thing you guys are talking about ...... I've never seen that. Is that just supposed to be more secure? Like I said, we just use the opsite to secure it after...

    What Was Orientation Like For You

    RainDreamer replied to 4jen's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Honestly I thought my first nursing job was more stressful than nursing school. I agree with Steve that you need to learn to leave the stress at work, but that's something I had a really hard time...

    Anyone having trouble finding work after taking several years off?

    RainDreamer replied to mom2730's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you're having a hard time finding something. It's really none of their business as to why you've taken time off. I wouldn't volunteer the information as to why you've taken off, as it opens...

    Which state would be ideal for me??

    RainDreamer replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nelrp

    RainDreamer replied to momandstudent's topic in General Students

    I consolidated my private loans after I got accepted for the NELRP, but I already had my government loans consolidated. I don't think it matters if you consolidate before, after, or not at all. If...

    RainDreamer replied to momandstudent's topic in General Students

    That one that you're looking into with the $15,000/$30,000 must be something different than the NELRP. Please check out that link in my above post. I applied for it twice and was finally accepted...

    Nelrp

    RainDreamer replied to momandstudent's topic in General Students

    I was accepted for the NELRP last year, as I have a ton of student loan debt. Where is it that you heard about a "max amount"? For the NELRP, there is no max amount. Unless they have changed it...

    They hire new grads in just about any unit there. As for Peds CVICU, I can't say for sure .... it's a brand new unit. But it'd be worth checking out, call the recruiter and get some details, they...
