    Fortis For the ADN program!

    meanmaryjean replied to Selenajudon's topic in School, College Programs

    Avoid Fortis. Horrifically low graduation rate, ridiculously expensive tuition and terrible NCLEX pass rates. I would wait for the better school before I would jump into a program that few complete,...

    How do you change a diaper without waking a baby up?

    meanmaryjean replied to wingingit's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I also think whoever writes such orders should be called with the I&O after every single diaper

    meanmaryjean replied to RiFig_17's topic in General Students

    Your prerequisites will likely transfer- but transferring the nursing part is not going to happen. The reasons are many and complicated- but I do not know a single program that accepts nursing...

    How do you change a diaper without waking a baby up?

    meanmaryjean replied to wingingit's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Open new diaper completely, smash the mattress down with your hand as you slide new diaper under baby. Then unfasten and pull old diaper out. (Much easier if you put the diaper on backward so the...

    Epidemiology Nurse, help

    Nursing with Skeletal Dysplasia

    meanmaryjean replied to tayadea's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ADA provides "reasonable accomodations". I am not sure if the apparently substantial needs you have could be considered reasonable. If you could not physically handle a single shift in a restaurant...

    Texas Board of Nursing- misdemeanor

    meanmaryjean replied to Crywoolf's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Texas Board of Nursing- misdemeanor

    meanmaryjean replied to Crywoolf's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The Texas BON is unique as they have a process for pre-approving students upon enrollment. As long as you are approved at that time and keep your nose clean, you can sit for NCLEX. That's why your...

    Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    meanmaryjean replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    There is no fast way to become a physician. You have to meet the undergrad prerequisites (unlikely you had them all in nursing school), take the MCAT, get an acceptable score, apply to med school, go...

    How would you like 3 consecutive months off a year?

    meanmaryjean replied to KrCmommy522's topic in Nursing News

    Having worked in a children's hospital for many years, I can tell you that the single reason I NEVER had any PTO accrued was because of summer low census. While I was ok (had a prn home care gig, no...

    LVN with Bachelors as a Clinical Instructor?

    meanmaryjean replied to Light Shine's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It doesn't really matter what we educators think- it only matters what the Board of nursing thinks. They likely have standards in place. Likely- you need to at the very least be an RN to

    meanmaryjean replied to alison86786's topic in General Students

    Most schools want to see your entire academic history. If they do- you MUST provide it or you will be in violation of their academic honesty policies. Not a place you want to find yourself. I would...
