The NCP is for (BSN) nursing school students. Are you an ADN right now going for BSN? There were a couple of people at ODS with me who did that. If this is the case, I think just getting a certification in a certain unit is the most beneficial thing ...

BSN at 29

I know the NCP is very competitive, but I'm pretty sure they weed out most people simply by making them jump through hoops. I started my packet almost a year before I was finally accepted. There was a ton of paperwork, trips to the Doctor to get waiv...

I don't think of interest as just giving money to a bank. I think of interest as a big ol thankyou for allowing me to buy a good car that has a good warranty that will last me for many years. Glass half full

Not that I am aware of. When my husband was in I got 3 years into a premed degree at ASU and when we moved to South Dakota I had to switch to a Biology degree and although my credits "transferred", they transferred as a whole bunch of electives. If t...

I bought a brand new diesel Jetta in March 2012. It is expensive but getting ~45mpg in a car that actually has power is great. It's also not a car that I will want to junk as soon as I start getting a bigger paycheck... I say buy a car that you want ...

Nope, you have to have between 12 and 24 months of nursing school left when you apply so you are right at the beginning :)

Me too! We just had pinning yesterday and it was beautiful to actually be DONE

Oh haha. I was confused!

Sorry, but what do you mean by "1 year of scholarship"? Are they paying for school now to?

I don't know if they looked at my cumulative GPA or my nursing GPA. I have a 3.4 cumulative and I think like a 3.8 nursing. I have a previous degree so they may have focused on the nursing but I'm not sure. Either way, I think a 3.6 is awesome :)

Lol yeah I figured it may have not been correct. Good luck with everything :)

A girl in my class missed the cut off for the NCP and went through my recruiter to look into a commission after getting her license. He told her that for this fiscal year there are no spots for current nurses. So she won't be able to do anything unti...

I just want a big busy hospital where I can hopefully learn the most. I'm doing my clinicals at an Air Force base clinic right now and it's pretty slow. I don't know much about any Navy bases and wasn't sure which ones had good hospitals lol so I put...

Generally, if AP1 was a prereq to AP2 the system wouldn't even let you register for it without written approval from the teacher (which the person registering you usually does not have the authority to override). If 1 is not a prereq for 2 then it's ...

I have to admit that patterned tops bothered me prior to working in a hospital. I would walk in and see nurses wearing Winnie the pooh while emptying my dads foley and thought it was a little weird. After working in a hospital however I have learned ...

I've been kind of worried about this lately. Some of the NCLEX questions I've been studying have to do with a nursing diagnosis of something to the effect of "impaired religiosity". My problem is that as an atheist I wouldn't diagnose someone as havi...

Yay! Sorry you didn't get Cali though My NCLEX is going to be a little weird. We graduate December 18th which puts the day that our grades have to be in around Christmas break which means they may not be put in until the beginning of January. So I m...

Thanks Portsmouth was my first choice so I was pretty excited!

You would be fy15. I just found out that I'm going to Portsmouth VA! Anyone else hear yet?

I just found out that I will be headed to Portsmouth after I graduate and pass the NCLEX! I am so excited!

I've never had a flu shot, never had the flu. My kids have never had a flu shot and have never had the flu. My husband got the flu shot for 8 years with the military. Never had the flu before, during or since. I don't think it's very helpful but if s...

So just to get this straight, you DID NOT tell the housekeeper to apply tape? She just came out and casually mentioned that she chucked a piece of tape on the guy because his bandage was coming off? How is that even something that can be sued for? I ...

I never understand why people have an "it's only pot" attitude at the same time as actually RISKING something for it. If to you pot isn't serious enough that you should get in trouble for smoking it, then why is it something important enough that you...

He called her old, which makes you so angry. Yet many of you say that you are a members of the crusty old bat society. If you think of yourself as a crusty old bat (and apparently take pride in it), what makes you think it's wrong for others to think...
