  8. Program nixed exam reviews...how do I adapt?

    adjappleton replied to leia.braggins's topic in General Students

    It's because of cheating. They don't want the questions floating around as they do get reused year after year. But to not allow you to see the actual test during class and then turn it back in IA...

    adjappleton replied to Vtachy1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  14. When an employer asks 'what's the lowest wage you are willing to accept'...

    adjappleton replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Career

    They've made the offer, so they want you. Agreed with above, do not undersell yourself. If you can find out if they negotiate then you know you need to start even higher. Say you negotiate to an...

  15. Did I make the right decision going for a ADN and then BSN?

    adjappleton replied to caeduss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others stated, if you can find a job with the ASN you will save yourself some money. It also depends on what kind of debt load you are comfortable with, so the ASN is a good choice if you'd rather...

  22. First bad employee evaluation?

    adjappleton replied to sungrl01's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Did she give any kind of improvement plan? That kind of review isn't very constructive but that may be the charge's style. And that you got a raise says it wasn't actually all bad, that's just what...
