    lovedijah replied to murs's topic in First Year After Licensure

  2. Considering nursing but hearing Philly market is lacking jobs.True or False? Help!

    lovedijah replied to Ally082's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's the thing with nursing- most new grads can't find jobs because they have no experience. Most employers want you to have 1-2 years of experience. So take an area like Philly that's close to...

    lovedijah replied to KDSkyy44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Confused between school and preganacy

    lovedijah replied to sabita143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I can say is.. you can come back to school later. Lots of people take the semester off. Realistically, it may not work out that way. Do you have childcare? Can you afford a baby? On the flip...

  7. How did you do it?

    lovedijah replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    lovedijah replied to nurseRee2014's topic in Georgia Nursing

  10. Moving around During School Due to Military

    lovedijah replied to IftheShoeFits's topic in General Students

    You could also think about online classes. There are LPN to BSN classes. Or RN to BSN. It's just getting the inital license that is difficult, because you tend to have to be in one place for awhile....

  11. Grading Scale

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

    Thats crazy. How does she determine the grade? Class participation? In an ideal world try to get 651 points to get an A. Perhaps easier said than done. But again, this grading doesn't seem

  14. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    lovedijah replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think she should be be calling herself a nurse. I have a BS in sociology. That doesn't make me a social worker, although I've worked side by side with social workers. When clients have asked...

    lovedijah replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

  17. Is an iPad beneficial?

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

    I don't think it's worth it. I'm cheap though. Cool to have? Yes. But people have been taking notes since 1832 without Ipads. Also, it seems difficult to take notes on Ipads. Then you have to worry...

  18. Any other MilSpouses with concerns?

    lovedijah replied to Jennie.K's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Air Force wife here. We're in Georgia. I'm not too worried about finding a job with PCSing. Of course Id prefer for us to get orders to a big city and not a small town, but I'm not worried. I mostly...

  19. Prerequisites grades

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

    I wouldn't retake a class to get an A. At my school, they factor in all attempts- so I'm not sure it would make that much of a difference. BUT if its going to give you peace of mind- why not? I just...
