  1. How much will I owe in taxes?

    cally527 replied to BlkDog's topic in Travel

    Did you have to fill out any tax form when you were hired? If so maybe you claimed too high of a number and that is why the amount of taxes being deducted is so

  2. Junior in high school, interested in becoming a nurse but confused!

    cally527 replied to lwang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, as I said you should be ashamed that you are discouraging a high school junior from pursuing their interest in Nursing. Nursing is not the only job sector that is having trouble, the WHOLE...

  3. Everyone wears scrubs!

    cally527 replied to calidonrnstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  4. Will they hold my first career against me?

    cally527 replied to Curlygirl9195's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ummmm no.... unless your old company jacked up the interest rate on loans that your potential new employer holds (lol) Seriously, no. Having another career before Nursing can be an asset. You...

  5. Junior in high school, interested in becoming a nurse but confused!

    cally527 replied to lwang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HORRIBLE ADVICE! The OP is a high school student. The economy and job market will not be the same in 5 years so you should be ashamed to be discouraging a high school student from pursuing a nursing...

  6. Did you get this letter from Roxbury CC?

    cally527 replied to hlj123's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It is not any kind of sign. The letter is exactly what it says it is. It is a confirmation letter telling you that you have been accepted as a student at RCC. Not every student applies to the Nursing...

  7. In all honesty

    cally527 replied to osdbmom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I suggest that when you are filling out your "New Hire" paperwork, you give your supervisor a list of dates and explain that you want to let him/her know in advance that you have several appointments...

  8. New RN, what kind of makeup can I use to cover a tattoo?

    cally527 replied to lilybug12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked in a Veterinary ER that had a strict no tattoo showing policy. Most of the employees that had tattoos on their arms or wrists used Vet Wrap to cover them. It is made by 3M and it comes in a...

  9. What to say when hiring managers ask what you've been doing since you graduated?

    cally527 replied to mell260's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The truth is always the best answer! I am sure that the hiring manager is aware of how difficult it is for new grads to find jobs right

  10. Which route do I take?

    cally527 replied to hjs13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. How to explain retaking prereqs you got A's in?

    cally527 replied to Curlygirl9195's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the essay asking why you are retaking pre-req's. I would think you would only need to explain the reason for retaking classes if you took the classes last year or 2 years ago and failed them and...

    cally527 replied to sabby17's topic in Government, Military

  13. Will I have to cut my hair at training? what about after when I'm at the hospital

    cally527 replied to sabby17's topic in Government, Military

    FNPdude 74, I should have thought about my phrasing a bit better when I said no one will care if your hair is not cut evenly..lol. I know that the military does care about their staff looking...

  14. misdemeanor, trying to get license

    cally527 replied to mhouseman5's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    cally527 replied to sabby17's topic in Government, Military

    I truly do not mean to be rude, but....You are going to OTS and your MAIN concern is your hair?!?!? Hair grows back! No one in the navy is going to care if your hair is not cut evenly. I think that...

  16. Job decision for new grad

    cally527 replied to ocdstacy's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Waitlisted at Frontier Univ...in shock, any advice?

    cally527 replied to Jory's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    While it sucks to not get into the program that was your first choice, it is not the end of the world. You said yourself that you applied to 2 other BACK UP PLAN schools. You were smart to do so. If...

    cally527 replied to cally527's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the replies. I have been applying to local hospitals and medical centers. So far no luck. I am looking into CNA courses. My biggest concern is that I have very little money to spend on...

    cally527 replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Deciding what you want to do with you life is hard. I am 34 and I still don't have a handle on that question because my priorities have changed. You need to do what makes YOU happy, not what PEOPLE...

    cally527 replied to MK84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The most important thing to remember is not to get so discouraged that you give up. There are many paths to becoming an RN. See if any of the hospitals near you offer diploma programs. Or you can...

  23. Nursing School

    cally527 replied to Eternalsnow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The quickest way to get the information you want is to use the computer and search for schools in your area and then find out what their admission requirements
