    job interview yesterday? bad sign?

    NICUmiiki replied to Meg86an's topic in Nursing Career

    It's standard at my hospital to let all interviewees shadow whether they plan on offering or not. It's more like a 15-30 minute "here's the unit, this is so-and-so, have any questions" kind of thing....

    NICUmiiki replied to ashlianee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is part of a hospital. Most of its programs are medical in nature. It is a fully accredited college that offers associate degrees (not nursing-rad tech, respiratory tech, Etc.), bachelors...

    NICUmiiki replied to kemifair's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow. People here are trying to help, and a lot of us have come to the conclusion that you need to take a refresher course. You should not verbally abuse other posters just because you don't agree with...

    Is it voodo or curse

    NICUmiiki replied to kemifair's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my state, the OP wouldn't be allowed to test again without a refresher course. There's a 4 try/4 year regulation. Something is going wrong. At 5 years (or close to it) post-graduation, there is no...

    Non-CNA Jobs You Can Work While You're a Student

    NICUmiiki replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I was a sitter for several months. We weren't allowed to do anything except watch the patient. We didn't even do CNA duties, and called the desk if the patient needed help. There have been cases in...

    NICUmiiki replied to Shonqueen1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program won't consider you until you have some of the prereqs done, and you can't start unless you've finished them all. I did my prereqs, and I got in on the first

    Choosing schools??

    NICUmiiki replied to ashlianee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first thing I always say when I hear those type of schools is to consider whether you want to continue school beyond RN. Make sure the school is NLN or CCNE accredited. If they are not, you may...

    NICUmiiki replied to Raggmop02's topic in General Students

    Question about Nursing Programs & Etc!

    NICUmiiki replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest completing any prereqs for the programs you will be applying to or saving money/starting to pay off student loans. Having your CNA will give you good experience, but you should also be...

    Question about Nursing Programs & Etc!

    NICUmiiki replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is very inaccurate. There are a very large number of "colleges" that offer 4-year degrees and graduate studies, including mine. Also, there are quite a few community colleges that offer bachelor...
