I guess the point you are missing from this is that the "whiners" have gone to the tutor. They have scheduled time to speak with the professors and they have met with the Dean regarding their concerns. The "whiners" have done everything within their ...

What is even more astounding is when the almost 40 year old stands up, shouts that she has things she needs to do and does not have time for "this". Basically throws a temper tantrum before storming out of the classroom like a child. (So much for "pr...

"There is no nursing shortage!" If I had a quarter for every time I have read that phrase here on Allnurses.... So I was surprised when I read the following article and read the highlights of the survey the article is quoting from. http://www.bosto...

I just love that she is young enough to still think that starting at $50K makes it a rich profession. Please keep that attitude about money!

I have a BA in Business Admin/Management with a minor in HR. I have been unemployed for over a year. I decided in January '12 that maybe I had the right idea in high school and nursing was what I should be doing. (I am 35 now) I looked at the program...

It is Massachusetts AKA Tax-achusetts. That question is extremely important here....lol

I highly doubt that the BON cares if you were forced to resign. I would hope they have more important things to be dealing with such as nurses that have violated law, hurt patients etc. So pick yourself up off the floor, dust yourself off and start...

You are not the first nor will you be the last person to not do well in a new position. Why would you have to report that to the BON? Was there misconduct? Was a patient injured/killed? Did you violate laws?

When did you go to nursing school? The health plan offered by MA community colleges is VERY cheap compared to the cost of other plans and it complies with the MA Health Insurance requirements. $1050 for a full calendar year of health insurance is a p...

And so it begins...... The syllabus has been posted on the portal!!!!

Are you talking about the piece that has the Littmann logo on it? If so, that piece can be removed/replaced. If your classmate did actually damage it, all is not lost. It is normal to be a little OCD when you have your first brand new stethoscope (e...

Sorry, I am in the 10:30 - 12:30 class and my schedule from when I registered and on the portal says that class starts on 9/5.

Tell your parents that you are not too old. Personally, I am 35 and by the time I graduate I will be 37. I hope the "people" that did not congratulate you were not people you considered to be friends??? Family and friends should be happy that you are...

The world does not revolve around you, so open your eyes and look at things with that in mind

You do sound whiny AND bitter! Allow me to be blunt, I promise the end of my post will be alot nicer than what I plan to say right now. Welcome to reality....where you have to look out for yourself. Nobody told you, well you clearly didn't ask the...

Sept 5th. I am in MA

Every school is going to be different. I searched for deals and bought my books online I paid a little over $400 for (all brand new)books that would have cost me $700ish at the school bookstore.

I have been wondering about when we wear the uniforms. Obviously for clinical. I would assume not to class. Not sure about lab. I bought one of the Coddington parking passes because I figured that I would need to park for lab and also if I need to go...

I got all of my books, brand new, at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Half.com and a couple of Amazon marketplace dealers. I save like $300 bucks all of the books are literally brand new!

I think it would depend on several factors, most important would be 1) Where you want to move if you leave VA. 2) Would want to pursue an advanced degree? I live in MA and about 70-85% of all RN posting I have seen state you need to have graduated f...

It is not absolutely necessary to buy older editions in order to save money. My school bookstore would have charged me just over $700 for all the books I need. I bought them all online and all new and only paid $426.57 (including shipping). I could h...

I can tell from a business standpoint that sign on bonuses are usually used as an incentive to attract qualified applicants when there are more job openings than job seekers, and then only when the economy is robust enough for the business to be able...

well dukes217, i am truly sorry that you may lose your license (i read your other posts, and they describe the exact same situation as your "friend" so you are either 2 very unlucky individuals or your friend is actually you) my post was not meant to...

1. I am not a CNA so I will let someone who has been one answer the question about what they do. I do know from friends that it can differ from state to state and from facility to facility. 2. Both an ADN and a BSN are nursing degree programs that pr...

Did you click on the link in the article that brings you to the report? I read through it and it doesn't seem to be anything more than pretty charts that make it seem like MA hospitals are severely understaffed. What kills me is that the report is f...
