  1. Nursing Diagnosis and interventions

    schnookimz replied to somellin's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I was in school, I would think "okay what problem could kill them fastest" and go from there. That will generally point out your biggest problems and

  2. Why is nursing school "hard?"

    schnookimz replied to Jaykalkyn, BSN, RN's topic in General Students

    I also didn't find it that hard but one thing I noticed is that in many programs you only take one nursing class at a time. Often they are shorter 5-10 week classes so you can fit a few into a...

  3. How did you afford CRNA school and do you have any advice for me?

    schnookimz replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    800 dollars a month for a car?!?! That's absolutely insane. That's rent for some people!!!! Sell the car. Get a hyundai. And nicely tell your friend that you're sorry but you can no longer afford to...

  4. How did you afford CRNA school and do you have any advice for me?

    schnookimz replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How the heck do you have time to spend so much money when you're at work 7 days a week?!?! I'm grateful for my work days because I know I only spend 5-10 dollars on those days for lunch because I am...

  5. Chicago BSN programs

    schnookimz replied to mlstephens1's topic in School, College Programs

    Honestly I would anywhere and everywhere. I applied for over 300 RN positions before finding one. And now all the December grads are coming out and will be applying

  6. Chicago BSN programs

    schnookimz replied to mlstephens1's topic in School, College Programs

    That's if you are looking for a community college program. And those are associates programs not BSN. One other suggestions: Chicago job market is pretty impossible right now. You may want to find a...

  7. Manly patterned scrubs

    schnookimz replied to OhioTry's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not 100 percent convinced that "manly" and "patterned scrubs" go hand in

  8. How likely is termination?

    schnookimz replied to bbcfan's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Has he called HR? Doesn't he have an option to appeal the termination? When this happens at my old hospital, a board heard the case if an employee appealed

  9. How likely is termination?

    schnookimz replied to bbcfan's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is ridiculous. Something else must have happened. I mean, if this is grounds for immediate termination, I would like to see it specifically stated in my job description that I must do this every...

  12. New grad RN. Which position to take?

    schnookimz replied to countrygurl89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well they can tell you whatever they like but sometimes that's just not feasible. If they had to let people go, they wouldn't care if they had told you that they'd like you to be around for 2 years....

  13. New grad RN. Which position to take?

    schnookimz replied to countrygurl89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  15. Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

    schnookimz replied to lifelearningrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. New job question

    schnookimz replied to QbanRn's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Suspicious for sure. 90 days is always a probationary period. During that time they can get rid of you for any reason, so what does it save them to not put full time in the offer

  17. Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

    schnookimz replied to lifelearningrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I answered your other thread, but yes I agreed with

  18. Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

    schnookimz replied to lifelearningrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I almost always scored about 1000 on my hesis, I think I had one in the 900s. On my exit hesi, I scored 1150. I did not study for nclex. I got my test date two days before I tested. I did about...

  20. What is my true hourly wage?

    schnookimz replied to pebbles0904's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    schnookimz replied to bbsunshine's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  23. Buying a car for nursing school

    schnookimz replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Students

    I bought a new car that was cheap--only 14k. I wanted a car that was under warranty bc I knew that while in school I wouldn't have an extra 1000 dollars laying around to fix it if something went wrong...

  24. Just need to put this out there. (venting)

    schnookimz replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why should she act that way? You need to do you and let her be her. She probably doesn't want to be a CNA. A lot of people just use it as a required stepping stone to get where they need to go....

  25. How likely is termination?

    schnookimz replied to bbcfan's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    He really does not need to have his phone on 24/7. It's not the right of the hospital to be able to contact him whenever they want. He didn't do anything wrong in that regard. He made a small...
