Depending on where you go to school, the Print Shop there (if they have one) may be able to print your poster. I learned that the hard way when I had to print my poster for my Masters. I paid Office Depot a small fortune and later found out the Pri...

"You know you're going to need a lid for that!"

Aug 12 by Chelsea13 I'm usually not a hater on these boards... but the english usage and grammar here is so horrendous in the post that I have no idea what the message is here.... You mean "English," right?

"So, this is what they give you when you're a new hire now??"

"Bob's response to the random drug screen in which he was given five minutes notice"

I get annoyed when professors spend half the class talking about their spouses, children, grandchildren, hobbies, etc. Religion would fall into that same category of wasted time when they should be spending teaching content that I will be responsibl...

Georgia's nursing programs' pass rates for NCLEX are public record and readily available. I am sure that is the same for all nursing schools everywhere. I would suggest taking that into account when applying to nursing school. If your school falls...

Look for moisture-wicking tanks, t-shirts, shorts, and even underwear like the athletes wear.

Something to consider is becoming a nurse but not letting your teaching license lapse. You can always go back and add-on the health occupations/healthcare science (whatever NY calls it) certification and teach the nursing classes to students in your...

Littmann introduced their new theft-prevention stethoscopes to mixed reviews.

"The more you practice with it, the more it will grow on you," they said.

How many people go to the "doctor" and routinely see a NP or PA for their care, though? How many of those people actually think they are actually seeing a physician? It can get confusing, but if you earned the degree, it's acceptable to use the tit...

Thank you notes and handwritten notes/cards are a lost art period. I think it is a thoughtful gesture.

Not until you take and pass the NCLEX...

Maybe there's an attorney who could give you a free consult. Some do, and some don't. Contact your state and/or national professional organization, if you are a member, and see if they have anyone to recommend.

I have never even heard of Georgian Court University, although that doesn't mean it is not a good school. I did just look at the website for about two seconds, and it said it's strong point is liberal arts. Just check to make sure it is accredited ...

PPE, EPD, HAZMAT...Moral of the story: Know your acronyms.

I agree with the others about going to someone on campus, maybe the counseling center, which I think most campuses have now and would have the resources to help.

I would take that to mean that school and teacher policies could change (legally) during the semester and the syllabus may not be a binding document throughout the semester in that case. For example, if the professor changed dates for exams or moved...

The cafeteria never gives us any warning when they are serving beans.

A tattoo might have been cheaper in the long run since you have to renew the vanity plate every year!

Have you talked to an adviser at your school who would know that you need to class and to put you in it as a priority? As long as you have good study skills and your school will accept the credit, it won't really matter where you take the class. I ...

I use flash drives as a last resort now. What I have found that works is copying and pasting my work into a "draft" e-mail and saving that draft. That way, I know it is not going anywhere. I have had a couple of flash drives just up and stop worki...

If you know for sure you are going on for another degree, take any chemistry classes or SOCI/PSYC classes that you can use for your degree. Get all of the core classes out of the way, so all you will have left are the nursing classes. Talk to the s...

First rule of any employment (and that includes student nursing): Don't get your money and your honey from the same place. Leave that married man alone.
