  2. 12 Month ABSN Program vs 17 Month ABSN

    adjappleton replied to leroy221's topic in Nursing Career

    Between the two I compared, the longer had a month long summer break and week long breaks between each section (8 total). The 12 month program literally had only the major holidays off, and a handful...

  3. a pseudo job offer?

    adjappleton replied to hopefulSN's topic in Critical Care

    The position may have to go through several layers of managerial approval/budgeting approval. This can take weeks/months even though the hiring manager was given a "go ahead" and hire someone,...

  4. Am I an idiot? Should I give up?

    adjappleton replied to mialander's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How do you keep track of time with your eyes closed, or do you check the time when your start and then whenever you stop, note the time and recalculate as needed for rate? I definitely agree closing...

  5. New Male CNA student worries

    adjappleton replied to Chris1406z's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You have every right to be in whatever field you want to! I had 2 men in my CNA class, one very young and one in his early 50's. Like us all, they had their own strengths and weaknesses. When I...

  6. Interview Attire

    adjappleton replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You don't always have to wear a suit. As someone suggested, pants, blouse and nice cardigan are nice together. Putting together an outfit shows *you* know how to present yourself well, really better...

  7. Frustrations of an older student

    adjappleton replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think you should only have to take the ACT or the SAT, not both? By the way, it is **ridiculous** that you are going through this. They are the only game in town and they know it. Good...

  8. Interviewing for Night Shift Charge

    adjappleton replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd also be concerned about you long drive home after a night shift. If it doesn't agree with your natural rhythms you might fall asleep at the wheel. Can you pick up any per diem/home health work...

  9. Should I go for it once and for all??

    adjappleton replied to Leahrose32's topic in General Nursing

    You sound much like me - except I'm already on the cliff deciding (with my spouse) if me leaving a FT job and taking loans to start a program in January. I've asked current students and been told 1...

  11. Tattoos are taboo at work. Yes? No?

    adjappleton replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I have 2 smaller tattoos but in inconspicuous places. I was at the lake last week and I kid you not, 90% of the young women (OK, I'm 40, you caught me) had large tattoos somewhere on their body, a...

  12. ABSN hopeful having doubts...

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

    There is an online option for you to consider - University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. They set-up your clinical work in your home state/town. The only thing is they require you to have a CNA and CNA...

  13. Critique my FIRST Resume/Cover letter?

    adjappleton replied to BaileyC's topic in Nursing Career

    I would work in your psych degree in your cover letter - "In addition, I have my B.S. in Psych which arms me with an in-depth understanding of human behavior and development..." blah blah. Don't just...

  14. Telling an employer about pregnancy

    adjappleton replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was in the identical situation. Most likely by law you do not have to disclose this information (in my state of Wisconsin I didn't). For one potential job offer I hid it, and for another I...

  15. Need some school opinions please!

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

    I took both at the same time. Occasionally it was even to my benefit as something was used in both classes. You'll be in biology
