  1. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    Raviepoo replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think more XXYs should be nurses. Pay equity and equal opportunity are far more important to me than a nurse's genes or what they keep inside their

  2. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

    Raviepoo replied to Godsfavorforeve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really tried hard not to say this, but I can't keep it in. God did not take the test. You did. God is not responsible for your result. You are. Thinking that God is responsible for your NCLEX...

  3. 100% sure I failed - stopped at 75

    Raviepoo replied to Judi421's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My test shut off at 75 and I was %100 certain that I failed. I was wrong. Hopefully you are wrong

    Raviepoo replied to gotchills's topic in Private Duty

    Run away. They are exploiting their

  5. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Raviepoo replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    I mean this with no disrespect, but are you sure you are in the right field? I worked for many years in a field that I hated. That's why I went to nursing school later in life. Now I hate some of...

  6. 16 year old future Nurse,Help?

    Raviepoo replied to Astroidinary's topic in General Students

    The benefit of getting an ADN before the BSN are: 1 - Cheaper tuition, 2 - Fewer credits. If you are lucky enough to live in an area where the hospitals are still hiring ADN nurses, you might even get...

  7. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Raviepoo replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    I hate my job. And there are individual moments at work that make my life worth living. It all comes out in the

  8. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Raviepoo replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not disparaging WGU. I'm just saying that there is a difference in online schools. We each have to pick the training that will help us get to our goals. The local community college is not my...

  9. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Raviepoo replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    I keep coming back to this thread to see what is going on here. I now realize that you attended WGU for your BSN and your MS degree. Although WGU looked like an attractive option, I ruled it out...

  10. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Raviepoo replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might be rationalizing your rejection. Why didn't you get the job? Because someone else did. Dust yourself off; move on to the next thing and don't waste time ruminating. There are...

  11. GMBC? St. Josephs? Sheppard Pratt?

    Raviepoo replied to Raviepoo's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I am trying to make my life more compact. I have to be in Towson twice a week, so I was hoping to find a job near there (and not in downtown Baltimore. That is too far from my...

  12. Lancaster county career and tech center

    Raviepoo replied to ilovescience's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just a little hint to make your life easier: Don't be that student who gets sent home from clinicals for wearing a nose ring and nail polish, leaving her long hair hanging in her face, and wearing a...

  13. What is best private or state university for nursing?

    Raviepoo replied to Shrestha87's topic in General Students

    Do you want to be paying off loans for the rest of your life? Definitely go with the less expensive option. You get the same license no matter where you go for your

  14. No Good Very Bad Nursing Instructor

    Raviepoo replied to misskitty22's topic in General Students

    This is 100% true. It is also 100% wrong. As nurses we are expected to do our very best for every patient, whether or not they rub us the wrong way. I feel that the same should be required of...

  15. Lancaster county career and tech center

    Raviepoo replied to ilovescience's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got my LPN through LCCTC. It IS a great school. Unlike some of the other schools in central PA, they are committed to turning out nurses. If you are having trouble, they will work with you....

  16. Writing essay to help obtain scholarship. Need some Help

    Raviepoo replied to ztran's topic in General Students

    I don't mean to be disrespectful, but the scholarship committee wants to evaluate you, not a bunch of strangers on the internet. It should be your idea. What are you passionate

  17. Adding clinicals to a resume

    Raviepoo replied to shall62's topic in General Students

    Nurses are expected to be honest. If you fluff up a resume, what else are you willing to fluff? I was a hiring manager once, but not in nursing. Even in a career field with very little emphasis on...

  18. Schools for LVN to RN bridge BSN from Philippines

    Raviepoo replied to nursefromcali's topic in California Nursing

    Taking an English class would be very good for

  19. LVN teacher

    Raviepoo replied to nursefromcali's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The person who teaches CNAs at the votech in my town has a Masters degree. The minimum credential to teach LPN students at that school is BSN. All of the instructors in my ADN program are required...

  20. ASN to MSN?

    Raviepoo replied to KTJ0408's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Those programs exist but I decided against doing one for several reasons. In the first place, there are very few of them in the specialty I want to pursue. That might not be a problem for you. The...

  21. Adding clinicals to a resume

    Raviepoo replied to shall62's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't. I list skills, not hours of schooling. The schooling is in a completely different section of my resume. If you have a license the employers assume you did clinical

  22. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Raviepoo replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    As long as there are for-profit companies looking to maximize nursing hours while minimizing salary expenditures, there will be

  23. Beware of Breyer State University's Nursing Programs

    Raviepoo replied to TheCommuter's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No actual campus and located in Panama. That's enough to send me running away

  24. Six months in - LPN @ 90-bed LTC. Is it me?
