    Licensing help

    OrganizedChaos replied to Britthomson2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can't become a nurse without completing some kind of nursing program. Unless you already have a nursing degree to endorse from another state, you can't get a nursing license without going to...

    What would you tell your pre-nursing self?

    OrganizedChaos replied to cdmccarthy's topic in Nursing Career

    lol. Oh well, it happens. I was also overwhelmed when I first when to college. I went to a big university after graduating from a small high school. It was a big culture shock to me. Haha. I should've...

    What would you tell your pre-nursing self?

    OrganizedChaos replied to cdmccarthy's topic in Nursing Career

    When I was verrrry young I was super immature, didn't take my classes seriously & also wasn't on meds for my depression/anxiety. Bad

    Insurance & Weight Loss Meds

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. It is extremely frustrating & I don't know what the insurance companies are thinking. Health insurance should be preventative! But it isn't, by the time we...

    Receiving Negativity as an LPN/LVN

    OrganizedChaos replied to SleehpyLvn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with you 100%. Nurses are nurses whether LVN or RN. I have met bad LVNs & bad RNs, on the flip I have met great LVNs & great RNs. One is not better than the other. I don't know why...

    Dear New Grad Nurse

    1.Take that hospital job, not the PDN job! 2. Get malpractice insurance! 3. Don't put off that bridge

    OrganizedChaos replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I wish I knew. I live in south Texas so maybe it's a regional thing but I wasn't born down here. It gets under my skin. I don't know you! So much

    I have a dilemma

    OrganizedChaos replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sticking up for yourself is one thing, but you are just being down right snotty for no reason. Show me a proof when anyone deserved that kind of comment. I hope you get into nursing school, but people...

    There is no reason to be so rude, OP. No one has been rude to you. You posted your topic on a public forum, not all replies are going to be sunshine & rainbows. If these replies are getting under...

    I have a dilemma

    OrganizedChaos replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just warning the OP, it's really important to look at deep into all the facts about the nursing program you are applying to. They say if you make above x.x GPA you'll be admitted & sometimes...

    I have a dilemma

    OrganizedChaos replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what I said. I asked the OP if her program is accredited & about the NCLEX pass rates. I'm not saying anyone with a 2.6 GPA is bad. I'm saying nursing programs are a competitive process...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not trying to bash you, I'm trying to tell you that you need to look at the big picture. If you don't do your homework, you can get burned from a bad nursing program. - Is the program nationally...

    I have a dilemma

    OrganizedChaos replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any program that would admit people with a GPA of a 2.6 or higher & a passing HESI/PAX/TEAS is a little scary. Is the college nationally accredited? What are their NCLEX scores like? You don't...

    What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    OrganizedChaos replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    Why did you get into this field if you don't want a stressful job but want to make a lot of money? Nursing & low stress don't go hand in hand. If you want to be rich but low stress, marry a...

    OrganizedChaos replied to adventure_rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Awww no! As much as I dislike clowns, there's a children's hospital by me that has a group of retirees dress up as clowns & it just makes the children's day.

    Your nursing judgment should tell you that it should be the right celebrity/sports star/etc for all age groups. The teens/parents really enjoyed the visit because they are able to watch SNL & the...

    OrganizedChaos replied to adventure_rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He didn't seem to enjoy a large group with cool props (that he didn't know what they are). Once again, my point. If he enjoyed it, even a little bit, I'm sure there would've been a sign on his face....
