Not to be a Debbie Downer but now I am super nervous all the rejections will come out tomorrow.

At this point may the odds be ever in your favor. I am still waiting as most of us are. There are still schools open in Nursing CAS which is the next option if I don’t get into the PT PMHNP program. For those of you who have been ...

I feel the same way. Just remember you are good enough it just might not be the right time. That’s what I am telling myself. I am just kicking myself for only applying at Florida. I figured my glowing recommendations, essay and resume would have them...

Feeling defeated but hopeful at the same time. No correspondence of any kind. Guess I will work on my admissions while I wallow. Congrats to everyone who got accepted today!

I received an email from University of Miami and about passed out because all I saw was University. Ugh!

*** I was in the nail salon trying not to have a panic attack. My husband’s response was “it’s only 6 weeks away that they have to decide.” I wanted to throat punch him.

This forum is making my stomach upset LOL

Well.... nursingCAS just told me my transcript from the school I received my BSN from says that my Bachelor's degree was "not awarded" when I have my own personal transcript that says otherwise. I requested a new one be sent but it hasn't updated.......

Good luck everyone! I got a wild hair up my butt and applied at the last minute. Waiting on my verified email but it was all in last night. Fingers crossed! Anyone from the Sarasota Area???

As a corrections nurse most of the previous posters nailed it. I would, however, encourage her to be housed in a recovery pod if the jail has one or participate in programs that focus on recovery such as Narcotics Anonymous. I see this everyday and...

I currently work at a jail and we are trying to advocate getting narcan for our intake nurses. My administrator told us that we could not do that because patients who receive narcan are supposed to be on continuous cardiac monitoring afterwards. I wo...

That is what we all thought. I think they just are trying to save money.

I am starting an LPN to RN program in May and I was wondering what things I should brush myself up on. I am currently working in a correctional setting which is nice because I see the whole spectrum of diseases and their processess as well as tons of...

What do you mean by advanced med/surg?

$19.00 per hour for PRN and $17.50 for full time. My site allows for some overtime. I usually have 3 12hr shifts one week and 4 the next. As far as working conditions, i really think that depends on the jail. I love my facility and have heard horror...

There is always hope and where there is a will there is a way. I look forward to having you join the ranks of awesome nurses.

I started my LPN program August of 2012, found out I was pregnant in October 2012. I was actually pretty devistated. I thought I was going to get kicked out of my program I had worked so hard for. I had to jump many a hoops to stay in. I was constant...

In my facility we are supposed to crush meds... Its the Sheriff's Department rule not my company's. I dont mind having to crush but 90 percent of my meds should not be crushed. I get looks from Deputies during my med pass and a few have said why am i...

Due to unseen circumstances, even though I graduated in Aug 2012, my name did not get submitted to the BON until the end of October 2012. I sat for my boards on Dec 13 and did not get a job until about 10 weeks later. I would suggest NOT quitting you...
