I am literally 'on' and now 'off' my third nursing school, and I am contemplating not returning to get my RN at all. I didn't flunk out. I left my previous school with a 3.14 GPA with 4 nursing classes underneath my belt: B+, B, B+, and B-. I left my...

Runforfun is exactly right, and is the basis for my decision. Yes, there was a larger issue behind the post...it had to do with the transfer of a non-nursing course....which I was advised about at the very last minute. I would not have made such a fu...

If there was only a way to "like" this post .). Can someone show me where the chastity belts are kept?

I attempted to apply there for Spring 2012. I was not pleased with the lack of professionalism from La Salle. In fact, it was way to the extent that I will never consider applying there again. For anything. I carried a 3.14 GPA, and while I was well ...

My cousin has been with them for awhile. She is a clinical nursing manager at this time. My coz is a diploma nurse who recently recd her BSN. Has a lot of positive things to say...but then again, as a former sub teacher in Trenton, all I could say wa...

Keep on going...we are all pulling for you. It is the same for everything. Just to let you know, I used to be a teacher....back in the day of the so-called teacher shortage...sent about 100 or so odd applications for teaching jobs in NJ...I understan...

Caitlin, I just sent you an email.

Please contact me privately.

Retail; Teacher: licensed and taught in: PA, NJ, and NC; currently an insurance agent. Volunteered with: Monmouth County Park System, Hamilton Hospital...this is going way back...and also volunteered a CentraState Medical Center. Working on RN at 42 ...

I would have graduated from nursing school this semester if I hadn't voluntarily left last spring. My reasons for doing so were twofold. First, it was becoming difficult for me to maintain a decent GPA while working full time....the schedule for the ...

I am not a nurse. I am a sitting on the fence sometimes student nurse. Had several occasions in regards to physicians and my healthcare and in regards to nursing schools this past spring, summer and early fall to make me question my own sanity about ...

Putting it to you this way: don't get involved if you can. Usually a person can pick up the vibe and know they are going to get fired.

I have taught in PA, NJ, and NC....grades 1-3. It wasn't the kids, it wasn't the work, it wasn't the parents, but the administration that made me leave education. My last position as a teacher was in an urban charter school. This school eventually wo...

To add to the above....any field you are in or if you are considering entering when you leave college requires a lot of savvy...heed the advice of Jenni811 and Loque.

New Jersey. Last winter a nursing student friend of mine went for a patient tech position interview at Princeton and was declined. The response from the nurse manager who interviewed her was that she (the nurse manager) would rather hire her as an RN...

To Dixie RedHead....I think you are letting your 20 years get a little bit into your head. A patient has the right to be educated about his or her condition and chose the course of his or her treatment. Keep that attitude up, and someone is going to ...

Had similar experience with a gynecologist....and, I have seen this gynecologist three times. Went in because I was somewhat remiss on my annual and had one cycle that was early by three days. My gynecologist switched hospitals and therefore did not ...

If you don't like it now...when will you think it will grow on you? I understand your hesitancy. One of my patients in my first clinical experience had a very large loose bowel movement. The smell was awful...it made me want to gag... and the clean u...

The school I went to used extensive surveys. Not only did we grade the course instructor, but the clinical instructor...and the facility. Our semesters were split into 3 courses...so every five weeks it was the final exam and the survey that rivaled ...

Let's just say that in my former school of nursing, a professor broke the academic integrity guidelines of the college and school of nursing by allowing students to change their answers on a test. Not just throw a question out here or there, but to p...

Hey JerseyGirl6...good game plan.

At my former nursing school...the word on IV starts and venipuncture was "on-the-job." This was an ASN program.

How do you get around ethical questions such as when a doctor recommends a procedure that you know is not necessary for a patient to have? I have found myself walking personally into this issue several times this year in the course of my own care. My...

I think what keeps me from not letting go of nursing as an alternative career path is the belief that nursing can live up to what it can be, and maybe in the human spirit of making things better....and that what I will experience in nursing is no dif...

To Orange Tree: please advise whether or not you prefer patients to be active in their healthcare, or just to have a passive patient on your hands who doesn't want to learn about their condition and treatments, and who most likely will return to the ...
