I think it also depends on the state. I think some states do the background checks upfront like PA and require explanations of criminal histories with documentation first (especially if you are applying for a graduate nurse temporary license). If you...

People assume just because you got your ATT that you will get your license. This is NOT the case.

So did you get your license or is it restricted?

I'm a senior nursing student that will be graduating in May 2019. I have been renting a room from an older woman, 74 to be close to school and work. The last 2 years have been fine but her son just notified me she is in the early stages of Dementia D...

Hi all, I took everyone's advice and it was accepted gracefully. I'm still living there, unfortunately, the land-lady is really going down hill fast. It was a good thing that I said no because now the family really sees how bad things are and that sh...

No offense, you will regret it. I'm finishing my last year at that campus. The SIM lab is horrible and never any hours.

Thanks, everyone. I am going to say no with the suggestions presented.

"With that said, ASK the ALZ patient, what ARE they confused about. Stop pampering them. Often the confusion can be easily solved, by asking. If they tell you, about someone that died 20 years ago, give me a rational answer. Be creative, and your ALZ...

No offense..."bright" people flunk out of nursing school all the time. It's a different kind of learning and doing. I found nursing school more difficult than my BSc Biology, actually.

Hi, I'm an older nursing student, 44, about to graduate next year. I'm a good student on full scholarship. Now the hook. I may just be burned out already but I'm having doubts about this profession. For 8 years prior to school I've worked as a CNA an...

OMG...so true.

This is depressing as a nursing student....it's not about money per-se but being compensated for a tough, stressful job, crazy hours and the costly, difficult education and work to get here. Teachers have unions with better pay, working conditions an...

I love it! You made my day!

Hi, I'm 42 and just finished Nursing Fundamentals with flying colors. Never give up on a dream...but nursing work and nursing school is TOUGH. "Fundies" is like the "weed-out" boot-camp course--or A & P for that matter. My suggestion: work as a C...

I think the problem is pigeon holing in nursing jobs. If you graduate and don't keep certain skills up to date by taking a job at a LTC...it's difficult to move from there. And if what you say is true, NURSING PROGRAMS SHOULD BE HONEST AND OBLIGATED ...

I'm in nursing school and doing first clinicals...wow...so scary and dysfunctional. Also all of the patients are always severe dementia, 90, morbidly obese, critically ill or all of the above. I have never realized how fat America has become until th...

I guess I'm ignorant...but why would anyone spend $100K for a BSN? Or is it a BSN/MSN? It just doesn't seem like a good ROI?

Thanks everyone. As you can imagine as a new student I have a lot to learn...the first few weeks have been overwhelming to say the least. I thank you for your input.

Hi, I am inquiring experienced nurses. I just started an ADN program Sept. 3rd. Oct. 1st will be my start of clinicals 1 day/week on an isolation unit. To say I feel unconfident is an understatement. I was told we will be using disposable stethoscope...

Why on Earth would you ever attend a school that was not accredited???!!!

Funny--people with "below average I.Q.'s" tend to forget proper forms of capitalization/punctuation. Much like...YOU.

Oh...my cousin, ADN/ICU Nurse for 25 years is raining on parade since I received a full scholarship. I left Biotechnology with B.S. Biology and she says I won't be able to handle the courses (all A's in pre-clinicals, took A & P I & II both s...

Thnaks...

The agencies charge clients $225-300 a day and pay HHA's $100-125. I do private duty 4-5days/week @150/day.
