I'm about to start nursing school, but very confused on how retirement works for nurses. Both my parents have a government job/work for the state, so they automatically get retirement once they've worked for a certain amount of years. How does that...

NSGY residents. That is, unless the patient gets to it.

Alright, here's my situation. I'm 22, and have been arrested twice for shoplifting. The first time, I was with a friend, and didn't take anything, but since we were together, they charged both of us. I live in SC, and we have a program here called ...

I completely disagree. Clinical is pass /fail but everything else is graded normally. It's hard, but doable. I just happened upon this whole searching for ttc but hopefully the op has passed school. I think ttc is a wonderful school, which is why our...

We had to score a 96 probability just to graduate, and it was twenty percent of our grade! We had three chances. I scored an 80, 86, then a 98! Practice practice practice! I also passed a few days ago but I thought I failed haha.

Oh, and I found out I passed yesterday! I did have around 250 questions, though.

I agree! I got NOT breeze through school, and had to retake a med surg class, but rarely studied like I should, since I've always worked during school. I graduated in December, took it a few days ago. Like you, I did 98 on the ATI predictor. I would ...

I've heard of it but I think that's only if you don't wait 24 hours, as you are scored twice. If you get it after 24 hours, you should be ok! It worked for me!

I am not asking for legal advice, but I'm not sure what to do. The scbon says that if I have ever been arrested or convicted of a crime I must explain it and submit documentation. I do have a few past charges. All have been expunged. I called a court...

I had to repeat twice in school. One was a major med surg class, half of us failed. I just let myself get behind. The other was psych. It hit too close to home for me.... I had just found out someone close to me was using the drugs and didn't spend e...

This is just saying students away. I graduated in December, and it was HARD. And took me three years. But hey, I take my Nclex in a month and feel prepared. It hasn't taken anyone more than a few months to get a job that I know, with or without medic...

I had clinical at Trident tele. I don't like Trident, but it is certainly the best floor I've been on. The nurses are great! But I'd prob choose musc.

I want to do this for the same reason. Had many friends who started using after high school,and had a boyfriend who started using while in the relationship, and ultimate ended it. I excelled in this area in school as well, from living it. I just want...

I'm not a nurse yet, I'll be taking boards in a month... But I feel like this can happen anywhere. I've been in the food bev industry since I began working 8 years ago, and these jobs are about as catty as they come. I think if you stick it out long ...

So, I think I'm good. Thanks for your responses. I wrote a letter saying I had previous convictions which were expunged and what they were for, explaining what they were for. I logged on the website yesterday and it seems everything was accepted! I'm...

Update! I finished nursing school, and have my ATT! I wish I had known I didn't need to disclose expunged matters because I did anyway haha. But either way everything has been accepted except for my Nclex since I won't be taking it until March.

I graduate in a year ava during the break I was pulled over with less than a gram of marijuana. I don't normally ever use this because of school, and would give anything to take it back. I believe it will be be expunged within six months. I also have...

And no probation. I'm just wondering if expunged cases even look better to the bon.

The school did a background check the last charge may be dropped, but I am guaranteed expungement if is not.

I have two misdemeanor shoplifting convictions as well, and graduate in May. I've heard you're normally fine if they aren't violence related, and expunged. You just have to be honest, and if you have to appear before the BON, get a lawyer. Esme, w...

C is the new A in nursing school. I work HARD to get high Cs in my program. Hardly anyone makes Bs and As are pretty much unheard of. Tests are different! You can memorize everything and still get questions wrong, because many are opinion-based. ...

If you live somewhere with lots of nursing programs, you may have to commute to work or even move, if that's an option. It takes some people a year or so, which really isn't THAT long. I plan to serve in the meantime, you can actually make pretty d...

Hi all, I am graduating from a well respected ADN program in my area in May, and planning on working in a hospital, ltc, or wherever hires me until I get my online BSN. I always wanted to be a teacher, or nurse. My mother is a teacher and the way c...

Hi all, I will be graduating a well-respected ADN program in my area in May (hopefully). About half, or more, of my classmates are already working as PCTs or some type of tech. My family does not have a ton of money to help me out, I live on my own...

I'm in my last med surg class. I cried a lot in my first medsurg class, especially when I failed, along with half the class. But never, ever, cry at school. I cried at home, when my stress level got so high I would have to let it out. Then, I wou...
