  1. "Negative dilute" drug test?

    lovedijah replied to afterseason's topic in General Students

    YAY!!

  2. Nurses and alcohol

    lovedijah replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students

    I think that people just like to drink, honestly. "Oh nurses like to drink", "Marines like to drink", "Teachers like to drink". Some people just like to drink regardless of what they do for a living....

  3. Digital Recording - Helpful or Time Consuming?

    lovedijah replied to NyLALove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's time consuming. Also I think it depends on the teacher. Most teachers lecture directly from powerpoint- or they talk about issues directly from the book that you could just as easy read...

  4. Womens interest in male nurses

    lovedijah replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Personally I don't care what my husband does as long as its legal and makes him happy. He's an airman, but if he wants to be a nurse, pre k teacher or whatever else, I'm fine with it. Women not dating...

  5. Course load or course overload???

    lovedijah replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There you have it. You can do it

  6. Commuting 1 1/2 to work???-- new grad

    lovedijah replied to live2run00's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you can do it, initially. I wouldn't do it long term. Maybe work for a few months and either try to find a job elsewhere or move to that area. Definately make sure you car can handle this...

  7. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    lovedijah replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not shocked at all. I applied for a job the other day and the receptionist said, "Just a heads up. You may want to attach a resume". WELL DUH. Who applies to a job with no resume? Heck, I've...

  8. Am I being paranoid about this ad?

    lovedijah replied to mangopeach's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've come across similar ads as well. One of things I do is google their fax number and see what comes up. Most of the times it'll be linked to someone and you know who you're applying to. If you do...

  9. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    lovedijah replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree. It amazes me people can't write basic sentences. Also amazes me proofreading cover letters for some people, is only hitting the spellcheck button. It's one thing to pass nursing school, but...

  10. Frustrated!!!!!!! Am I alone on this?

    lovedijah replied to JenniferS_CNA's topic in General Students

    Honestly, and I don't mean this negatively.. I don't care what anyones reasons are for going to nursing school or being a nurse. People have children to feed, bills to pay- and since they can't come...

  11. How are the science questions?

    lovedijah replied to ChooSoul's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Being honest, I think if the TEAS was an open book test and the only book you could use was the ATI study guide- you still wouldn't be able to get a 100. Or maybe it was my test. Maybe it was just...

  12. Clinical Instructors; Drill Sergeants

    lovedijah replied to hope1959's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here's the thing- I feel for you. I imagine how annoying this must be. But you can't change her. The only thing you can do is control how you respond. Which is way easier said than done. But it is...

  13. Current CNA starting LPN classes this month, advice?!!

    lovedijah replied to Paigeerin12's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I start in August, so I can really give no advice. But YAY for you!! Ive just been looking around the boards to get study tips and see how people stayed

  14. Almost complete school

    lovedijah replied to futurenurseOB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So happy for you! God is

  15. Torn between a Nursing or Nutrition degree because of my beliefs regarding medicine?

    lovedijah replied to NenaRK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you should be a nurse. I don't mean this in a negative way, but if you'll have issues with giving needles and pills- you are going to be miserable as a nurse. Do I believe people should...

  16. Work/life balance... where to start my career?

    lovedijah replied to chessvixon's topic in General Nursing

    Do you need to make a lot of money for your family to be ok? If so, I may apply to a hospital. If money isn't an issue, I would do the home health as you said you have lots of other activities you...

  17. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    lovedijah replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think this is *most* jobs, honestly. This is an employers market. You have RN's considering CNA work just to find a job. It's crazy out here and probably won't get any better. Still in nursing...

  18. Drug screen for new job

    lovedijah replied to RURN2O11's topic in General Nursing

    I've had interviews where they handed you the paperwork after the interview and wanted you to go THAT day before the place closed at 5. Annoying? Yes. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta

  19. New LPN Grad Interviewing -- Questions

    lovedijah replied to notarealgingerLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was in a similar situation. Honestly, it's not uncommon for applicants to have job offers elsewhere. It's also not uncommon to be offered a job and say, "I am thankful for this chance. I would love...

  20. Paying for school??

    lovedijah replied to nurseformykids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has lots of scholarships you can apply to. They are small scholarships ranging from $250-$500.. but every bit helps. See if your school has these. Also if you google nursing scholarships or...

  21. Finish my Bachelors while waiting for nursing admission?

    lovedijah replied to Sartorius1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are deciding between doing either or, I would retake the classes. I think it would be awesome if you completed the degree, but completing the degree brings you no closer to getting into nursing...

  22. What is the best computer to have for school?

    lovedijah replied to bamwife06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband has a Macbook that he loves. He's had no problems with it. I have a cheap Acer from Walmart, but I haven't had any problems with it. I think you'll be fine with whatever you get,

  23. How Do You Pay For School?

    lovedijah replied to ceena21's topic in General Students

    Does your school offer federal student aid? If so, you can get a stafford loan which doesn't require a cosigner. You may even get pell grants. If you still have unmet needs after that, I really have...

  24. Depressed about not finding a job

    lovedijah replied to theleaf's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I really hate to say "Hang in there", as I imagine that must be annoying. But its really all you can do. Eventually something has to give. Have you had any interviews? If you haven't had a single...

  25. Question about major change?

    lovedijah replied to sincerelya1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the other posters. I wouldn't go through an entire degree, just to then complete a nursing degree IF I knew I wanted to be a nurse. Are you completing this degree only so you can get...
