    GPA question--do I stand a chance?

    springchick1 replied to Kirbiea's topic in General Students

    Have you contacted any of these schools? That would be the first place to start. Unless someone here works at any of those schools, no one here will be able to answer your

    Cheating

    springchick1 replied to Elain7's topic in General Students

    I find it very hard to believe that someone had a test bank to the HESI. But it doesn't matter if someone else did or not. YOU didn't pass the HESI. It doesn't matter what anyone else did or how they...

    springchick1 replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    You didn't meet the requirements of graduation, which you more than likely knew long before graduation, so your going to start a petition? Really? I guess I don't understand what the petition is...

    springchick1 replied to chloes.n.'s topic in General Students

    In my state, we couldn't register for NCLEX until the BON had all our information, including our transcript. We filled out paperwork during class one day which they held until our transcript was...

    Newborn Nanny, Should I Return to School for Nursing at 48??

    springchick1 replied to sprtngrl47's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not real sure why a career counselor would suggest things that you have no interest in doing. I say go for it! I graduated with a lady who was in her mid 50s. She was awesome! She also struggled...

    springchick1 replied to Egeolu1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Neither does having 80 questions. You can get anywhere between 75-265. At 80 questions you either passed or you failed. Don't look so much into how many questions you had. It will tell you

    Why so many 3-11 jobs at nursing homes?

    springchick1 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not arguing with anyone. A PP made the comment that said the 3-11 shift is great if your single basically because they don't have children's games/school stuff to go to. I simply said that just...

    Why so many 3-11 jobs at nursing homes?

    springchick1 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    That's great for you! F1J1 said it's great for singles because they don't have any responsibilities to children/spouses. Just because we are single doesn't mean we don't want to have a life. My...

    Why so many 3-11 jobs at nursing homes?

    Why is it a great shift if you are single? I'm single and don't have kids and hated everything about that shift. I guess I forgot that singles don't have any type of

    springchick1 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    You are lucky JDC. Most places won't let you do that kind of stuff. In fact, many people get told that those things are outside your scope of practice (which they are) and it is an offense you can be...

    The computer determined after answering 75 questions whether the person pass or failed. People pass and fail all the time with any number of questions. People think there is this magical thing that if...

    Why so many 3-11 jobs at nursing homes?

    springchick1 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 3-11 (not in LTC) for 7 years and hated everything about it. It's very hard to have a social life on that shift when all your friends work 8-5. You never see them. I'd work night shift before...

    What to do while I wait

    springchick1 replied to chwcbesteph's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd wait on ACLS and PALS. They can't be done from home and you will have to pay for them out of pocket. If they are required for your job, your hospital will pay for them. I know you said your state...
