    7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I read a bunch of articles & some say if you're not on social media sites you're a psychopath, but then others say if you're on it too much you're depressed. So pretty much either way, you...

    OrganizedChaos replied to alaika2003's topic in School, College Programs

    There will be no completely online program due to the clinicals. There might be a hybrid program with some classes online, but you will still have to do clinicals in

    7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It didn't mention NOT having a social media account. It mentioned people having an account & what they look for. I already knew having typos & bad pictures would be a bad idea. But it never...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lol. You think *I'm* naive? I have more experience as a nurse than you and have gotten jobs that didn't have anything to do with my involvement of social media. Of course I haven't got call backs but...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There's a difference between doing a search & bringing it up in an interview. I have done many a Google search on me. Not much comes up. Nothing that would prevent a hiring manager to not hire

    "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    That's a great idea! If I get lucky enough & get into the same program my ex is in, he might sell them to me. If I don't get in there, I'll look on the campus bulletin board. I'm sure I can find...

    Unsupportive spouse?

    OrganizedChaos replied to spierre's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, you aren't the only one. I have dated unsupportive guys. The guy I was with before I met my husband was really unsupportive. He didn't want me to do anything if it didn't help or do anything to...

    Unsupportive spouse?

    OrganizedChaos replied to spierre's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you've gone to counseling & it didn't work, why are you with him..honestly. I'm not trying to be rude. If there is fighting going on, is that what's best for your kids, for you? He wants you to...

    7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, it doesn't make any sense. At all. Period. What I do outside of work (as long as it's legal) is MY business. So why should I be hired or deemed sociable because I don't have a social media site?...

    Medical school after nursing school ?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Harlee92's topic in General Students

    If you want to be a nurse, be a nurse. You can always become an advanced practice nurse or get your doctorates in nursing. Or if you want to be a doctor, be a doctor. They are both very different...
