    Help ... May not get into nursing school

    OrganizedChaos replied to fatima2ray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to add that since you live on the east coast competition is fierce to get into nursing programs. It also seems that most hospitals want BSN prepared new grads. If you are willing to relocate...

    Unaccredited associates anyone? Online?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Prettyinpink1's topic in School, College Programs

    There is no such thing as a bridge program for CNAs. There are generic RN & BSN

    New male student in clinicals, all women, feeling isolated

    OrganizedChaos replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    I'm not friends with anyone I went to nursing school with. Don't fret it. You will make friends either at work or other places. I think nursing school is just such a hard place to make friends since...

    Best private student loans for large amounts?

    OrganizedChaos replied to C_Schneider1010's topic in General Students

    Holy Batman! $120,000 for a BSN?! Are the diplomas made of *gold*?! There are people who become LVNs -> RNs & beyond who don't spend that much money on their

    Favorite RN Position

    OrganizedChaos replied to KT_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN but I have loved corrections. It is exciting & keeps you on your toes. Will definitely be going back to corrections after I get my RN & some hospital

    "Is it OK if I" vs "I just need to" vs "Could you please"

    OrganizedChaos replied to Philly85's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is why I ask when having to do something in a personal area. Yes touch is personal but a woman might not mind letting you take her blood pressure or temperature but when it comes to a sensitive...

    Help ... May not get into nursing school

    OrganizedChaos replied to fatima2ray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You came on the Internet & asked strangers their opinion. What did you expect? To get coddled? You are getting opinions from much more experienced nurses than you. All I'm reading is excuse after...

    Ready to tackle MSN-but want the easy way

    Can someone help me?

    OrganizedChaos replied to giopim65's topic in School, College Programs

    How can you verify the authenticity of anyone? If you can rush to the internet you can rush to find a nurse in person. How do you know the PP is a nurse & not a ballet dancer? Your instructor did...

    How do you deal with workplace drama?

    OrganizedChaos replied to laurennnxo26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not my monkey, not my circus. The last correctional environment I worked in had terrible drama. Everyone from management to staff was new with the exception of 1 nurse. People were spreading rumors...

    Interview with Nurse

    OrganizedChaos replied to Purna94's topic in General Students

    There is a difference between giving a helping hand & spoon feeding them answers. I'm all for help but how does that teach the student anything? Who is gonna feed the OP when they start their job?...

    Took NCLEX 9 times, passed 10th time 265 questions!

    OrganizedChaos replied to youcanrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Am I missing something? The NCLEX in fact does that. You become a nurse when you pass the NCLEX. It doesn't matter if you graduated from nursing school & have an associate's or bachelor's degree,...

    Friend asked to cheat off me from exam?

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

    It doesn't matter what she says, it matters what you do. Put your big girl panties on & end the "friendship". Don't communicate with her any more, don't sit by her & just don't let her in your...

    Why are LPNS so underpaid and disrespected

    OrganizedChaos replied to Brnd-RN-1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's low! I never made that little & I believe we discussed the area you are moving to. I think the least I ever made was

    Friend asked to cheat off me from exam?

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

    Either grow a back bone or keep her as your "friend" & let her cheat off of you. I was taking a science course with a "friend" I made though my LVN program. In that class she would always come in...

    Why are LPNS so underpaid and disrespected

    OrganizedChaos replied to Brnd-RN-1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You might be one of the few. You were very lucky. I have been asked by lots of people if I will become an RN. I tell them yes but in the back of my mind I wonder, why does it matter? LVNs & RNs...

    Stay-at-home mom terrified of re-entering workforce after mental health episode

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

    The statement she made about being homeless, carless & in debt leads me to believe it was a maniac episode. I have bipolar disorder & have been hospitalized twice for it. I'm sorry for...

    Cheating in nursing school

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    What proof is there that the OP has given us that it isn't more than just gossip? Even if someone came to her & asked for the test questions/answers all that is, is he said/she said. The OP could...

    Cheating in nursing school

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    Unless you have 100% concrete proof of cheating, it is just hearsay. Anonymous or not you will put a target on your back. Cheating sucks but if the students are cheating it will catch up to them when...

    Unsolicited Advice..do you get this, too?

    OrganizedChaos replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Start going to their classrooms & critiquing them. I bet those comments would stop.

    Is working as LPN in Nursing home easy?

    OrganizedChaos replied to PoppyLizz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Being an LVN in LTC was hands down the most difficult job I ever had. It's not just passing meds, although that can take up a lot of time. There are treatments to do, paper work, doctor's to...
