    Could I be rejected from a nursing program for being on Prozac?

    NurseGirl525 replied to RainbowHead's topic in General Students

    Misinformed, yet again. Your school may or may not ask what scripts you are taking. You don't have to reveal what you are taking. But truly, there are tons of nurses on antidepressants. The...

    Yep. I have no friends in school.

    NurseGirl525 replied to rheath22's topic in General Students

    I had that. I have a couple people outside of class I talk to. They excluded me on some of the big decisions for the class and I always found out stuff later. Realize this is a couple years of your...

    Taking a Year Off? Did not pass TEAS.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jsamonte036's topic in General Students

    What is considered "passing"? It's not really a pass/fail test so I'm curious. Teas tests your basic knowledge in math, science, reading, and language. How did you do in your prereqs? That's where...

    Might change my major to Medical Assistant?

    NurseGirl525 replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    Actually a MA is a two year degree. You get an Associate's for it. There's nothing wrong with being an MA. Good

    APA Format

    NurseGirl525 replied to workingh's topic in General Students

    I'm confused as to how it would be academic honesty? I was wondering for future reference. As they only really give you the rules for APA and it's much easier to understand than the American...

    Associate Degree

    NurseGirl525 replied to menot's topic in General Students

    I'm extremely confused as to why you would need to become a nurse to be a medical malpractice lawyer. Why? I've dated a couple of lawyers in my day, one who became a lawyer when he was 40 and you...

    NurseGirl525 replied to NurseRatchedTheBest's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Im sorry we're we talking about research or a medical convention. Outside of the workplace, or on social media, as was presented, you don't ever talk about patients. It is easily identifiable on...

    Raise fiasco - need advice

    Is this a hipaa violation?

    Yes. They are very helpful. Take several resumes, and make sure they are good to go. I'm curious as to why you would think it would not be worth

    Education

    NurseGirl525 replied to leslancaster's topic in General Students

    It doesn't necessarily make you a better nurse, it depends on what facilities require. I wouldn't worry about it now if your facility doesn't require it, but know they may in the future. I know I am...

    RN to BSN or go straight to MSN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to nursgirl's topic in General Students

    It depends on what companies require. Some require that BSN. I see you want to do education and I'm not sure if colleges require a BSN. They will want you to have a good many years of bedside under...

    TIPS on getting into nursing school

    NurseGirl525 replied to banfftank8's topic in General Students

    It depends on what they look at. Do they consider extra activities? Was there an interview or essay? Why did you take higher level prereqs than what is needed? It may just come down to people had...

    Leaving Bedside Nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    Look, OP, your responses are not gaining you any sympathy. You need to chill a little and find a better way to respond. I think so many people go into nursing for the exact, same reasons, but all...

    Getting into nursing school.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    You had the grades and a good TEAS score. A 75 is a very good score for TEAS. I'm not sure why you think affirmative action had anything to do with it. Doesn't affirmative action usually put white...
