    critique my Objective please!

    BloomNurseRN replied to newbieRN724's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You're welcome!! I was really hoping that it didn't sound negative because I didn't mean it that way. I have just been in hiring previously and have a lot of experience with resumes. :-) I love...

    critique my Objective please!

    BloomNurseRN replied to newbieRN724's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would not use this at all. First, the companies know you want a job as a nurse. An objective is unnecessary on a resume and really should be avoided as wasted space. Second, the resume is a place...

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    Interestingly enough she was actually allowed back in to school, as well as the three others expelled. Just thought it was an interesting case to follow. Update: Taking a Photo with a Placenta Won't...

    Question about credits/credit hours

    BloomNurseRN replied to Yellow16's topic in General Students

    I actually probably spent about half my time preparing for clinicals. It's not a TON of reading or anything but we had care plans and assessments to complete and turn in. That took up more time than...

    Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

    BloomNurseRN replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

    I love those! I almost bought them last year but my program rejected them because of the metallic detail. I was

    Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

    BloomNurseRN replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

    My program is extremely strict on the shoes and has very similar guidelines. Ours have to be leather, all white, no clogs, etc. What you showed would NOT be acceptable at all. I'm sorry. This is...

    Question about credits/credit hours

    BloomNurseRN replied to Yellow16's topic in General Students

    That seems a little light to me too but maybe that's just me. My first semester in the ASN program was 12 credit hours and I easily studied 24 hours a week. At times there was more studying involved...

    First semester nursing work

    BloomNurseRN replied to rammstein's topic in General Students

    I know my local hospital actually hires PCT without any experience as long as they are willing to be trained and do the work. A lot of nursing homes will train you for the CNA test also. It never...

    BloomNurseRN replied to ♑ Capricorn ♑'s topic in General Students

    Congrats! I'm getting ready to start my second year of nursing school next week and I'm almost just as excited as last year, getting the last of my books today. Exciting!

    Who got accepted with a TEAS score less than 78?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Mrs2016's topic in General Students

    What kind of program are you looking in to? LPN, ASN, BSN? I am currently in an ASN program that only looks at your grades for four classes and your score on the TEAS V. I had A's in 3 of the...

    Not impressed and depressed

    BloomNurseRN replied to BitterSweetSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it's hard when it feels that way. Please try to know that a few bad experiences or not so friendly instructors are not what's going to define your time in nursing school. When I started last...

    Alternative loans/financing education?

    BloomNurseRN replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I currently get grants and have loans to make up the difference. I'm unemployed so the loans definitely help us in a big way. I'm lucky that I'm going to a community college so we haven't had to...

    What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    BloomNurseRN replied to SelenaS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I was lucky and received a paid of Danskos for my birthday from my family last year. I LOVE them. I actually can't wait to wear them at our clinicals again. They made a huge difference in my second...

    What is Your School's Selection Rate?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Clodhopper's topic in General Students

    My program accepts 60 in the fall (40 ASN and 20 LPN) from about 500

    So confused-What to do?

    BloomNurseRN replied to daytontires's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone is trying to disparage or not help you, they're just trying to understand exactly what you're asking. If you can take all of the courses to complete your degree EXCEPT for the...

    Bio Major wanting to Switch, Need Advice

    BloomNurseRN replied to nrryan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before I answer, I have a couple of questions. How much longer will an ABSN take you after getting your Bio degree? Also, what will the price difference be between staying on and just doing your BSN...

    Feedback on Personal Statement (First Draft)

    BloomNurseRN replied to fcasteele10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree with smoup. One example is your sentence "I never worked in a healthcare facility." One way to write that in a more positive way is something like "While I have not worked in a...

    One week left on the alternates list :(

    BloomNurseRN replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have had the very same thing happen at our school before. It's not easy on the person waiting but there are people that have gotten in the week classes started. Our program most definitely gives...

    How is applied physiology

    BloomNurseRN replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So is that an advanced physiology class then? I'm going to assume that. I took Anatomy and Physiology 101 and 102 (the basics that we have to do at our school to apply for nursing) and then chose to...

    RN School and Family Life

    BloomNurseRN replied to Mommy2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. I know it's not easy but really if you want to make it happen, you will make it happen. I have two small children, now 5 and 3, who were 2 and not even 1 when I started doing my nursing school...

    How do nursing schools react to alternative faiths?

    BloomNurseRN replied to ZeroNightskye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree what everyone else has said. I don't think what the necklace has on it would be a problem, as I know lots of people that aren't wiccan that wear things like that for fashion purposes....

    Biology and chemistry

    BloomNurseRN replied to cynvill06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. It's really very dependent on what else your taking, whether you're also working, and how much time you have to devote to studying. I took Chemistry and Advanced Physiology last semester while...

    Subjects I can take in LPN that are transferrable to RN

    BloomNurseRN replied to spinwheel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was going to say exactly this about finding out the courses you need and go from there. I'm currently in an ASN program that has certain science requirements. I know I have to have certain classes...

    Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

    BloomNurseRN replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think letting go of the CNA makes sense. Once you have your RN that's the level you're held to anyway and you don't want to work as a CNA. Good
