  2. About to throw in the towel!!!

    jetsy62 replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    Just a guess, but maybe the new person is getting the hours because they cost the least to the owners as far as hourly

  3. Whoo just accepted into PSU Altoona's nursing program! Who's with me?

    jetsy62 replied to mmw90's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    On the American Heart Association website they have a list of courses. Is BLS for Healthcare Providers the correct course? None of the courses are named just Healthcare Provider. If this is the...

  4. Culturally insensitive patients

    jetsy62 replied to tippytootagon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think if you just explain that either a. you were born in America or b. state that you have been here since the age of (fill in the age) it would get the message across. I think for the most part...

  5. Want to quit nursing school.

    jetsy62 replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    I wish there was a way for you to slowly get your independence but from what you are saying it sounds like it is an either/or choice. Either you do it their way and have school and personal expenses...

  6. Want to quit nursing school.

    jetsy62 replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    Could the parents be insisting on the 10:00 curfew because the first time around she failed. Mom and Dad seem overbearing on first glance, but maybe they know their child better than she knows...

  8. I got fired today, how will that affect my chances?

    jetsy62 replied to Nurseadam's topic in General Nursing

    I am still wondering what was on your termination paperwork as far as the verbage they used. It may help with the explanation you offer if/when

  9. I got fired today, how will that affect my chances?

    jetsy62 replied to Nurseadam's topic in General Nursing

    What was the reason put on your papers for termination? Specifically what HR policy did you break? I guess I am asking for the terminology used. That may help you answer the question when

  10. Just Started Nursing School!

    jetsy62 replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    Wow, I thought I had prepared myself for the realities of nursing school but maybe not. As stated, I am a senior in high school so I know I have a lot to learn about life. In fact, most of "life" I...

  11. Just Started Nursing School!

    jetsy62 replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    I have the same fears as the OP. Will be 18 when I start nursing school in the fall after I graduate high school. It will be the first time I am away from home and I too wonder about "finding my...

  12. Provisional Status

    jetsy62 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the schools I applied to and have been accepted at has been put on this status with the BON due to low test scores on the NCLEX. This has me very concerned. They have always been in the high...

    Great advice AntMarchingRN. I am starting school in the fall and I will utilize your

  14. Help Me Understand IV Port and How This Happened

    jetsy62 posted a topic in General Nursing

    First off, I want to say that I am a pre-nursing student starting school fall of this year and love this site. My grandmother is in the hospital with end stage COPD after developing pneumonia. She...

  15. Help Me Understand IV Port and How This Happened

    jetsy62 replied to jetsy62's topic in General Nursing

    No explanation given really and I am just glad is was found and is fixed. I think they know it should not have happened because almost every nurse that has been in since has mentioned it and they...

  16. Nursing Scholorship?

    jetsy62 replied to calinursestudent818's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We went to financial aid night Tuesday at my high school and the speaker kept stressing "worse case scenario, your student loan debt can not exceed the amount of one year salary you expect to make"....

  17. Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell

    jetsy62 replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Students

    Probably a really dumb question but I am going to ask. Does a nurse have a choice in being a preceptor? Is this something you choose to do or is it just part of the the

  18. RN with BSN and feeling stupid

    jetsy62 replied to trueblue2000's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    After researching this before applying to schools, most of these comments should be prefaced with "in my area". Until I started to look into nursing schools my junior year of high shool, I did not...

  19. Crazy question about bsn

    jetsy62 replied to ConstantlyEvolving's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really does depend what type of program you go to. It amazed me how many different options there are. I have been accepted at different colleges with different programs. I think I am going with...

  20. 80 on TEAS V, good or bad?

    jetsy62 replied to WalterWho's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One of the four schools I applied to clearly states "only allowed to take the TEAS test one time" so each school is

  21. Accepted into program...needing advice.

    jetsy62 replied to klynn81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go for the BSN. Marriages have withstood much longer separations (think of our military that is deployed) and you have the support of your husband which is huge! And who knows, maybe the...

  22. TEAS Test Friday

    jetsy62 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the test on Friday with a score of 80.7%. Two of the schools I have applied to require it, the other two don't. All I have to say is study, study, study the science part. That was by far the...

  23. RN with BSN and feeling stupid

    jetsy62 replied to trueblue2000's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    After much invesitation, I think the best route for me is the ASN, RN, BSN path. I really see no benefit to BSN, RN path. In fact, it seems counter-productive. But that is in my area where both are...

  24. Physically Asssulted at work

    jetsy62 replied to theview's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I still don't think this is a situation where disability should apply. I am not saying that you are not disabled, but it is because of a work related injury therefore it is worker's comp. My mom...

  25. Physically Asssulted at work

    jetsy62 replied to theview's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You should not have a pay loss. Is this not worker's comp? Why would they even put you on disability? Something is not right here, unless your state is different than
