  1. Wonderwink

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Which fabric is the wrinkled look? It looks so light and airy. I've seen multiple people with the crinkled look and I like it. I bought the wrong scrubs last time. I think it's the stretch that is...

  2. BSN from 4 year program required

    applesxoranges replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I forgot about the accelerated BSN programs. I also wonder what their viewpoint is on direct entry MSN

  3. Nurses with Medical Marijuana Cards.

    applesxoranges replied to fltopp1's topic in General Nursing

    If they fire for using nicotine products, then I assume that they would fire for testing positive on drug

  4. Cincinnati Ohio

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Really? Why? It wouldn't be for a few years anyway till I am more

  5. Student Seeking Advice, Please!

    applesxoranges replied to princess rarity's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you're in southern Michigan, some Ohio schools will give in-state tuition to students depending on what county you are

  6. What to do after a BSN?

    applesxoranges replied to JJRN10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What about nursing

  7. What is a Pre- licensure BSN?

    applesxoranges replied to Missflores94's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Basically means that the students aren't nurses. Now, whatever you do don't apply to Pre-Nursing associate degree programs. Some schools offer a "pre-nursing transfer" associate degree program...

  8. Advice-FL- NEW GRAD ICU

    applesxoranges replied to DeepBreath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unfortunately, you may not be chosen simply because there are tons of applicants. Also, find out if they gave the scholarship internally. I haven't really heard of them calling it "scholarships" and...

  9. Getting around auto rejection application by lying??

    applesxoranges replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Call HR and find out what their preference is. In my old company, they told new graduates to put in their exam date for the license date. Some will let you put in pending. However, if you don't ask...

  10. Blackboard Courses

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Ohio University

    Why doesn't OU turn off Blackboard courses after the class finishes? It's nice to see the grades but all the other schools turn off blackboard after the class is

  11. Blackboard Courses

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Ohio University

    Really? That's weird. The other school I went to they automatically shut down the Blackboard

  12. Starting RN program @ Crouse in 8 weeks ;)

    applesxoranges replied to joeykttn's topic in General Students

    I would avoid putting the name of the schools in case it could be linked to you down the line. The last thing you want to do is to get linked to a school and have them figure out that you are ranting...

  13. What jobs are available for me if...

    applesxoranges replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have an associate degree and I was able to get a job in an ICU and an ER. If you're starting out, I would begin with patient care as many jobs seem to want nursing patient care. However, I'd aim to...

  14. Does my name hurt my job prospects?

    applesxoranges replied to aeris99's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Remember you need to put your legal name on your applications for background

  15. Graduating High School with ASN

    applesxoranges replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, if you haven't started now the odds of graduating high school as an ADN is slim even if they do let minors into clinicals which my school would not due to the liability to both the minor and the...

  16. Need a better paying job in Colmbus OH

    applesxoranges replied to Reikoweller1966's topic in Ohio Nursing

    23 is about average for a floor nurse in my area of Ohio. Nursing isn't a field to get rich in. 30 dollars an hour is really kind of unheard of in my area unless the person has a lot of experience and...

  17. cost of ICU per day

    applesxoranges replied to jonakuntz's topic in Patient Education

    I think they have to post the rates online. It varies from hospital to hospital. I worked for a hospital system and I looked up the cost of all the hospitals for different rooms and the cost varies...

  18. Shoes for Nursing School!

    applesxoranges replied to jday314's topic in General Students

    I bought Reebok shoes and they were very uncomfortable. They were flat looking though. Danskos aren't too bad if you get through the break in period with them and the way I look at it is that it's...

  19. Anywhere in the country hiring new LPN grads with no experience?

    applesxoranges replied to sawyer1200's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ohio. Look at doctor offices. My old health system had a bunch of postings and they would hire LPNs for medical office assistant jobs. The LPN could be a recent graduate and had to obtain licensure...

  20. CNA/SurgTech/Paramedic?

    applesxoranges replied to InfantryVet2014's topic in General Students

    Well, I would not go the paramedic route because that will be at least another year and a few weeks on top of nursing school. This is assuming that you find an EMT program that is less than 1 month...

  21. To those who wants to quit nursing: Try another job!!

    applesxoranges replied to candyapple1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I switched to a different hospital system and I start tomorrow. I am super

  22. BSN from 4 year program required

    applesxoranges replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One thing I disagree with NLNAC accreditation is that they require a certain number of MSN instructors. For a small rural school, that probably won't

  23. BSN from 4 year program required

    applesxoranges replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ten to one that the person who wrote the ad was a recruiter. If I saw that, I would continue to apply anyway. One that I have seen is a requirement that the degree is from a CCNE or NLNAC accredited...

  24. In need of work

    applesxoranges replied to Tesfanurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Generally it seems like it takes 6 months to a year to find a job. Sometimes longer. The volunteering commitment may cause issues because most hospital jobs have rotating

  25. Lawsuit over grade changes?

    applesxoranges replied to Jackson12's topic in General Students

    My school lost their accreditation due to the lack of msn prepared staff. However there is a warning process
