    80 or above is passing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    At the school I'm applying to 77 is passing. Most nursing programs upper 70s-80 is considered passing. Nursing school is tough, but they do it for a reason. When you graduate you will have peoples...

    Travel to Corpus Christi, Texas

    OrganizedChaos replied to Raquel75's topic in Travel

    Corpus is growing, immensely. The traffic is going to be a lot worse than you remember 15 years ago. There are places to take your kids (aquarium, Lexington, art/science museum). They also just redid...

    Student cheats off me in nursing school

    OrganizedChaos replied to nurseoholic's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry it happened. Sometimes people you think are your friend, aren't. But if you had proof & she was honest, hopefully they won't punish you. It seems like you were just trying to be nice...

    How hard is your nursing school?

    OrganizedChaos replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Students

    I don't understand the correlation between your "easy" program & working in LTC. That's probably one of the toughest areas to work since there is a massive nurse to patient ratio. But no job in...

    Should I ditch the pinning ceremony for a possible job?

    OrganizedChaos replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

    I would go to the open house. The pinning is a great memory but if you can make connections at the open house, why not

    Stupid classmate tricks

    OrganizedChaos replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I didn't even think twice about letting her copy. I don't remember how many chapters we covered but I know the reviews were loooong & they were fill in the blank. She did end up copying someone...

    What did you get for nurses week?

    OrganizedChaos replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing, but I'm not working. Even if I it would still be nothing. But I can see where I need to

    Stupid classmate tricks

    OrganizedChaos replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    When I was finishing up my pre-reqs, I was taking A&P II over the summer. I was taking it with a former classmate from my LVN program. The teacher was awesome & he offered extra credit by...

    Anyone ever work in a BOP facility? What was the hiring process like? What was the work & facility like? I know every facility is different but I'm curious as to what it's generally like. Oh, was...

    I would like to interview a nurse for my college class please.

    OrganizedChaos replied to Dwaibelm's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    An interview is done in person, how do you trust anyone on the internet? As you will probably see, you are not the first person to ask 'interview' questions online. As you will also see, you won't get...

    ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is there a ADN to BSN program that I can do credit by exam? I wouldn't be opposed to writing the occasional paper but I can't handle writing a paper every week. Don't take this post as me wanting my...

    ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

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

    OMG, I hate group projects the MOST! There is always that one person that doesn't do anything. When I was in A&P II during a summer semester extra credit was offered by doing chapter reviews....

    UNDECIDED

    OrganizedChaos replied to Mrsdaniels01's topic in Excelsior College

    Did you attend EC? Because your posts are only anti-EC. I'm not a fan nor would I attend but the lawsuit seems pretty frivolous. I mean everything anyone signing up for EC can read it on the website,...

    We did the same (seizures, old age, pregnancy, etc.). I also think the MD had to sign off. If there is a valid health reason for the pass, they get one. But generally the inmate

    Pediatric home health questions

    OrganizedChaos replied to MerissaS's topic in Home Health

    Sounds like private duty, not home health. I would caution any new nurse to do PDN, you're the only one there with no back up. If you can get a good agency that will give you a low acuity case...
