    Undecided if I want to be a nurse. Please help!

    meanmaryjean replied to anothervietguy's topic in General Students

    OP: I guess my question would be this- would the circumstances of you not being allowed to be a police officer in any way impact your status as a potential nurse/ nursing student? Because you have to...

    Finishing LPN Program & curious of the process of applying to an RN Bridge Program?

    meanmaryjean replied to RachelCath's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Why don't you make an appointment with an advisor at one of the schools, go with transcripts in hand- and see what they require? Accurate information right from the sources, PLUS you get a chance to...

    Feeling Anxious & Overwhelmed for this Semester...

    meanmaryjean replied to Callahan1021's topic in General Students

    Tell your clinical instructor what you just wrote. I'm sure you're not the only student to feel that way. Why, in my LPN and RN programs, I only saw one birth, 5 minutes into my first shift- from a...

    Taking a pay cut to go into your choice career

    Best Shoes for Nurses

    meanmaryjean replied to ccr1018's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Have you tried custom orthotics? They have helped more than a few people I know- and you can put them in any shoes you want. Pricy- but what price do you put on working

    meanmaryjean replied to Coca_Evagria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    However, if the school asked for "ALL" transcripts, and you intentionally left undesirable ones off- you would have committed the type of fraud I mentioned. Each school is free to set it's own...
