  1. absolutely love quizlet!!
  2. took the nclex 265 ?'s and now have a hold

    I hope everything works out for you! I know how fustrating this wait can be.
  3. What are your plans??

    A&P I, lab, college algebra, computer science, english I, and some cheesey college experience class. This is my first semester but I hope to start clinicals in the Fall 2014! I will be taking full loads every semester including summer.
  4. No work experience since 2010

    I agree I think that the volunteer work would look good on a resume. Managers know how hard nursing school is and that you must focus on your studies. Some people can work full time and some can't. I volunteered at hospitals too and I love the flexib...
  5. Computer Class : Windows 7?

    Since you are done with your pre-req are you allowed to sit out until your clinicals start? I am just asking because I hear a lot of posters in your situation. At my school if you start out as a freshman whenever you met the requirements to start cli...
  6. Orientation in 17 days!!!! I'm super excited

    I know how you feel. I went to orientation about 2 weeks ago and start classes on the 9th of Sept. I feel like it can't get here fast enough. I am so ready to get it over with. Atleast when I start I know that it will go by fast. Congrats! We can do ...
  7. Non skilled to skilled nursing

    Don't worry! I think your concerns are definitely just thejitters and excitement. They will definitely teach you those things in yourprogram to make sure that everyone is comfortable and understands the basicsbefore you get to the "nitty gritty."
  8. I quit my job

    Congrats
  9. ADN's being pushed out

    [COLOR=#003366]PMFB-RN http://www.aacn.nche.edu/media-relations/fact-sheets/impact-of-education here is one of the many studies that suggest this. You can look up the rest. It is not a biased opinion! And many hospitals are trying to become magnet ...
  10. From what I take from your post I would say that I would not assume that you are out of the running. I would think that the hospital just posted more position because they need more people. If I were you I would apply for all the positions! If you do...
  11. I made the wrong choice...

    With the nursing surplus you must always stay competitive.Like with any other job nursing is a competitive field. Have you consideredgetting certifications in PALS, ACLS etc. Maybe you should try volunteering.That is a great way to network and meet p...
  12. ADN's being pushed out

    I don't understand why ADNs get so upset because they think that BSN grads belittle them but in the same breathe belittle the BSN by stating that BSN grads are ill prepared and don't have clinical experience. Aren't you doing the same thing that you ...
  13. Nurses who love what they do

    Great post! I was starting to get discouraged from all the negative posts from some of the nurses on this site as well.
  14. wouldn't it be easier

    I have never heard of six figure debt just from one BSN degree.
  15. Is there such a thing?

    It's like with any job. You must prove that you are leader and have people skills. Like you said many people just want to be floor nurses. So there is room for some advancement but you may have to look at other facilities because once people go into ...
  16. Im glad it worked out! Hope you get the job
  17. When I feel like something fishy is going on I usually google the company. I look for reviews and BBB ratings. Many people probably are thinking the same thing and will report that the company indeed is a scam or that they are legit. Many scams will ...
  18. $33, 000 for Medical Assistant program

    I would not do that. You could go to your local university and get a bachelor's in health care management and that degree will provide you with much more opportunities, for the same price if not less.
  19. caught up in a dilemma

    I agree with the PP. Sometimes just because your GPA is lower does not mean that you are not understanding the information. The OP may have to work a full-time job, or have kids that demand alot of attention, etc. you never know. I am lucky that my f...
  20. Paying for Course syllabus?

    I have never heard of being charged for a syllabus. My school actually considers it the right of a student to be given a copy of the syllabus for each course by the instructor.
  21. "Fake" or Nonprescriptive Eyeglasses

    I just got a new pair of prescription glasses. But for some reason a lot of people come up to me and compliment me on them and ask me if they are real. I have worn glasses since 3rd grade. My boyfriends sister actually wears glasses that look like th...
  22. Has anyone ever heard of or taken the HOBET?

    Hey, I am not sure what the test consists of but my school, which only offers BSN degrees, used to require you take it before getting accepted into the program but they stopped 2 years ago. My friend took it at two schools and failed it both times. S...
  23. need help with college options-straight out of high school

    I am starting BCHS this fall. The school offers all the pre-req that you would need. And they highly recommend that you take all your pre-req there. if you go to BCHS.edu they have a sample nursing curriculum and also if you go to the transfer studen...
  24. Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    Took the words right out of my mouth!
  25. Clerical Volunteer work at the hospital?

    Even if you don't get that much clinical experience now you will get to know how the floor is run. And it will still get your foot in the door when you eventually have to apply for a job there. I volunteer in the Burn unit at my nearest hospital and ...
