  1. I need advise

    Jess RN replied to mye614's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, you're right. I didn't even get that from the above post that the order was a "stat" one. In past jobs, when there was an inappropriate interchange betwen co-workers *in front of a...

  2. I need advise

    Jess RN replied to mye614's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that the truth! I volunteered this past year as the project manager for a interdisciplinary cardiac care inititative at a local hospital while I was considering applying to nursing school....

  3. I need advise

    Jess RN replied to mye614's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't mean not doing the order at all- certainly that would not be fair or safe to the patient involved. But using the example in the above post- "No I want a sat cbc now you idiot" would it be...

  4. I need advise

    Jess RN replied to mye614's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a pre nursing studen working on my pre reqs now and waiting to hear back from schools for Direct Entry NP programs. I guess I'm a little naieve, I realsized docs could be abrupt and sometimes...

  5. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gennaver- Your GPA is great. Congrats on magna cum laude! I think it will definitely make a good impression that you finished so strongly! Kensington- Don't worry about what you can't change- as...

  6. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Gennaver! That's crazy about your program!! Yes some of these Direct Entry programs are crazy competitive! BC's acceptance rate last year was in the teens- just to put it in perspective , my...

  7. Misdemeanor affect RN licensure?

    Jess RN replied to ILuvBabies2005's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I think it does vary from state to state. In Ma you can't have had a conviction in the past 5 yrs. But I'm not sure if ti si felonies and misdemeanors or just felonies. Your state BON would know....

  8. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi again Gen! Yeah- I do think very qualified candidates stressing about getting in to school is justified, if fruitless :chuckle At most programs, there are far more "qualified" candidates than...

  9. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks again Gen! It's good to know what other people's experiences have been in accounting for transcripts that are less than straightforward. I think the letter I sent in was good. Short,...

  10. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh- and one more thing. I don't know if UCSF is like this- but BC admits based on specialty. So if there were a ton of Psych/Mental Health specialty applicants this year it would have made it even...

  11. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jupiter- You sound like you have a great all around "profile" and are really dedicated to pursuing a career in nursing! The only thing I can think is that UCSF is a highly competitve program and that...

  12. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's a really good point about volunteering. I had no idea how heavily it would be weighted in the application process. I volunteered at a hospital when I was making the decision to apply to...

  13. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks Gennaver! Some days I feel pretty confident and others I'm sure I'm going to get two rejection letters in the mail. I guess that's pretty normal. I emailed with the program coordinator...

  14. Accelerated BSN or Direct Entry Masters Students, Come in!

    Jess RN replied to Hopegirl's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much straba! I just found out today that BC isn't doing any interviews this year (I had heard they did in past years) so we really won't hear anything till March from BC or MGH. I have a...

  15. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You know, I could be wrong- but I've seen it calculated the way I suggested a few times on other forums. I've also done a little research on averages on the GRE for different Master's programs and...

  16. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Duh! What a great idea! I was kind of scared to contact my school, because I didn't want to appear too pushy, you know? I just assumed that they would take the same schedule as last year- which was...

  17. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the "new way" to calculate totals on the GRE is by multiplying the analytical writing score by 100 and then adding it to the sum of the verbal and math sections. So if you were 550V 600Q and...

  18. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Gennaver! Congrats on finishing the GREs and on your score! I thought sitting for the actual test for close to 4 hrs was just grueling! Not an experience I'd care to repeat. I know everyone says...

  19. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    HI Gennaver, I was kind of limited by geography when selecting schools to apply to since we wouldnt consider moving our family. Luckilly we live right outside of Boston, so there are quite a few...

  23. Anyone taken the GRE test?

    Jess RN replied to BChapp3182's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Gennaver Good Luck! You should be fine- I only really practiced with the Princeton Review book for a few weeks. I just got my analytical writing score back and I scored a 6! I was pretty shocked...

    Jess RN replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
