  1. Job offer then ghosted

    DTWriter replied to Newgrad&8678's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you do hear back from them, make sure you shadow them before officially accepting the job offer. Side note: OP, you are new grad, a "virgin" nurse. With effort (and the willingness to...

  2. Can I still become a nurse with a low GPA?

    DTWriter replied to JAlan95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, if you have not already done so, you should PM Simplistic. Unfortunately, the other poster(s) would not know if you replied unless he/she returned to the thread. Other than that - "Can I still...

  3. NEED TO INTERVIEW AN APN.. help!

    DTWriter replied to buffalo2122's topic in Advanced Practice

    Have a list of questions prepared ahead of time. (For example - Where did you go to school? How long did it take you to become an APN? What struggles did you faced? What do you do on a typical day?...

  4. Told to fake vital signs

    DTWriter replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When you call, your voice can be recorded. Wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints? Nice idea but there are other ways to track a letter back to the source nowadays. Just watch "Forensic Files."...

  5. Im socially awkward. Cant interview well.

    DTWriter replied to lpatt9981's topic in Nursing Career

    For future interviews, ask if you can shadow the unit. Not only would shadowing give you the opportunity to scope the unit but allow the employees to get to know you (somewhat) outside of interviews,...

  6. Told to fake vital signs

    DTWriter replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "Report...report...report..." The OP mentions that she lives in a small town, and it seems she does not plan to move until she becomes a RN. She probably cannot afford to be a martyr right now....

  7. Discouraged nurse

    OP, They see you rolling. They

  8. Needing encouragement: I think I regret being an FNP

    DTWriter replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Based on the OP's and others' comments: Is it really better to go for a psych NP certificate as opposed to the FNP

  9. Straight to FNP

    DTWriter replied to jodyjcj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree and disagree. If you manage to get into a FNP program without RN experience, jump on the opportunity; however, you will be doing yourself a great disservice if you manage to get your FNP...

  15. Is it fianally time to retire NETY?

    DTWriter replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Like how the "ok" hand gesture was the sign for "f#@% you" and now the "ok" sign, and how the rainbow was once just a symbol of luck and now associated with gay pride: There is no need to retire the...

  16. My parents don't want me to become nurse but I don't care anymore

    DTWriter replied to JayLuv108's topic in General Nursing

    ^THIS I remember a manga/anime titled "Bakuman," where the uncle/mangaka did not want to actually push his artistic nephew to become a mangaka as well because the uncle understood the struggles that a...

  17. Help, did I get hired onto a sinking ship?

    DTWriter replied to skydancer7's topic in General Nursing

    "Help, did I get hired onto a sinking ship?" Yes. Definitely. Absolutely. Next

  18. What do I do now.

    DTWriter replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't the burden of proof lie on the former employer, as to proving that the OP abandoned the patient? Without video evidence, I do not see how the employer can prove that that patient was...

  19. Am I too old to become an RN??

    DTWriter replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    ... Are we being punk? Please tell me this thread is a joke. 33 is not "too old." Now, if you are talking

  20. Manager reporting confidential info to state board

    DTWriter replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you will have an uphill battle proving that it was your manager who filed the complaint. Though, what a lousy thing to do, especially when you are seeking treatment; that type of behavior is what...

  21. Does surrender/revoke license question :(

    DTWriter replied to Nurse20112017's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ^This. Though, the OP's posts (at least, on this thread so far) are not so revealing that a person can figure out who the OP is; however, it is a good idea if the OP does not go into too much detail....

    DTWriter replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    So, OP, how much would it cost you to move back? Is it too take to back out on any lease for housing? Does your school offer a payment program where you can pay a portion of your tuition fees at...

  24. I need a loan but can't get a cosigner

    DTWriter replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    I so agree with not saddling any more debt on your parents, even if you can in the future, or anyone else. If you can get a loan for school, you are better off with federal loans only. Alas, for...

  25. I need a loan but can't get a cosigner

    DTWriter replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, the BSN programs and other non-graduate nursing programs may not be completely covered with federal loans
