    Can't Lift 50 lbs - Will I be discriminated against?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Fifty pounds is not a lot to lift. You have to be able to turn a patient. If you can't turn a patient, you are in the wrong career. A nurse manager actually has to have nursing experience. How can...

    NurseGirl525 replied to lizemay8's topic in General Students

    Nursing School and Being a Military Spouse

    NurseGirl525 replied to guest*11's topic in General Students

    I didn't get into a BSN program with a 4.0

    NurseGirl525 replied to justyna030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also I'm going to ask what state you are in? Is it CA? It's one of the most difficult states to get into a program and then find a job

    Do you think I'm a good fit?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MrMurdoch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    None of us know you personally. So none of us can answer this for you. Nursing is more than being kind and wanting to serve other people. By your description of yourself, I would say be a member of...

    First of all, you don't fail the accuplacer. It simply tells you where you are currently with math and algebra. I took 2 remedial algebra classes before I could take college algebra and it was the...

    NurseGirl525 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    NurseGirl525 replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion
