    Become a Nurse But Don't Work As One

    springchick1 replied to Stargate Atlantis's topic in General Nursing

    Planning to do it and actually doing it are two different things. Most administrators work 40+ a week. When are you going to work PRN as a nurse? And like others have said, you will have a hard time...

    I thought that if you had clinicals at a hospital you had "your foot in the door"

    springchick1 replied to ant123's topic in Texas Nursing

    You may have your "foot in the door" but you have to prove that you are a strong, capable candidate. It isn't a guaranteed job when you graduate. Clinicals are like a semester ling job interview. It...

    springchick1 replied to Destined2BeANurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure why this is a surprise to you. It's like this at any nursing program you go to. I'm sorry you haven't had a good experience but did you do any research yourself about this school? Of...

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    springchick1 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    This! It's like when people come and haven't kept jobs for longer than 6 months. It's a huge red flag. Someone who graduated a year ago (or two or three in some cases) and is just now liking for their...

    Work During Nursing School

    springchick1 replied to futurern806's topic in General Students

    I worked full time and had a study group. There were three of us and that was it. We were quick to call each other out if things got off topic. Our time was too valuable to waste it chit

    Thrown From the Tower!!

    springchick1 replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where I work, you would have been suspended for so many tardies in such a short amount of time. Then you would have been let go. I think you are going to have a hard time finding sympathy

    Meant to quote, not to like. Then all you can do is decide if it's worth it or not to you to go to nursing

    Written Job Offer Rescinded=jobless

    springchick1 replied to RNlvn's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it's really people like you who get offended by everything and get mad when they aren't told what they want to hear that make people not want to comment. And yes, I would have said the same...

    springchick1 replied to TaylorBean's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    springchick1 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What will make the situation much worse is going to the manager when the person you have a problem with doesn't even realize you have a problem with them. It also makes you look like a trouble maker...

    I think you need more than a book. You have failed 5 times. Clearly there is an issue somewhere and one book isn't going to change that. If it's really worth it to you, you will spend the money on a...
