  1. What can ADN nurses achieve with a BSN other than accumulating more debts?

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

    I'm saving money by going the ADN and then getting my BSN. However, I planned for it during school and I went to a partnership

  2. RN working as a PCT

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

    My system will not let RNs work in PCT spots. Does your manager know that you passed your boards? If not, I would let them know because they may let you go but it is better in this case not to let...

  3. Is HR Lying To Me?

    applesxoranges replied to Colleen2515's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would assume that you didn't get it and start looking elsewhere. That's why I don't tell people about positions unless I don't want them. I post quite a few up for other

  4. Quitting 1st job, less than six months?

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

    I accepted the ER position. I am super glad that I did. There feels like there is a huge weight off of my

  5. Is HR Lying To Me?

    applesxoranges replied to Colleen2515's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Did the friend accept the one position? If she did but hasn't started, then they probably want to make sure she won't back

  6. Is there a job where I can work when I want, part time?

    applesxoranges replied to J-Swish's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Some hospitals hire contingent or supplemental but those are usually you get what you get positions which may mean you get nothing for awhile. Part-time at my hospital is 2 days a

  7. EMT class while in nursing school

    applesxoranges replied to max150's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, the EMT cert is mainly used for the patient care hours that are required. A lot of programs require patient care hours. My friend's used her CNA to get patient care hours but a lot do not count...

  8. EMT class while in nursing school

    applesxoranges replied to max150's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes and no. Around here, the firefighters who have EMTs are usually hired into the ED but the state above me prefers to hire paramedics into the ER. Some of them do have patient care positions though...

  9. RN-BSN SCAM

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

    That's funny. I had the opposite reaction. The fact that UTA called me constantly in order to get me to register for classes without telling me whether I was in the nursing program screams of a...

  10. Anyone in 4510 this summer?

    applesxoranges replied to favthing's topic in Ohio University

    I took it the last five weeks along with the physical assessment class. 4510 was

  11. Can a Nurse have a Tattoo???

    applesxoranges replied to futurenurse'15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Depends. If corporate walks around our hospital then all the nurses have to put bandages on or long sleeves asap. We had one charge that had to dig through a box of donated clothes for long sleeves...

  12. RN-BSN SCAM

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

    It depends on the university. Honestly, it does. Ohio University was partnered with my school and so all of my credits transferred, even firefighting credits. I only had the nursing classes and...

  13. Need some help!!

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

    When you say that you do ER, what do you mean? Is there an ER in the corrections facility or do you mean you're willing to

  14. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    applesxoranges replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I like how I have it set up. I went for my ADN and then I am going to have my BSN within 9 months. By then I will have a year experience and I can decide where I want to go from

  15. ATI Exit Exam

    applesxoranges posted a topic in General Students

    I am taking the comprehensive exit exam tomorrow. I think it is called the comprehensive exam B. I took A and I had a 97% predicted probability of passing the NCLEX when I rushed through it because I...

  16. CNA over the summer? EMT?

    applesxoranges replied to vic42975's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on your state. My state will allow a nursing student who completed their first semester of nursing school take the CNA written and skills test. However, EMT isn't that exciting. In some...

  17. Transferring in a hospital system?

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

    It'll probably go quicker if both sides agree but it also depends on HR. If HR drags their feet, there is nothing you really can

  18. Fast Track Option for ADN program

    applesxoranges replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Well the special option was for that school only. Are you in Ohio? Otherwise it wouldn't apply. Plus it wouldn't really cut down on time. it would be like 3 and a third semester if you were able to do...

  19. Uniform Inspection

    applesxoranges replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    We did black pants for ours thankfully but we were required to wear white underwear. I said whatever and usually wore a black shirt with whatever color bra underneath since we were allowed to wear a...

  20. Good online ADN to BSN programs

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

    So far I like Ohio University. They were quick and didn't drag their feet like UTA did with me but they were also a partner school with my school. Ohio University is limiting themselves to six states...

  21. Well.. I guess I am going to be canned

    applesxoranges replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How did this even come around? Did the housekeeper tell someone? Did the patient

  22. Which area should I apply to?

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

    ER is a really good area to start in if you want to stay in ER. I was scared of getting type-cast as an ER nurse because a lot of the charges started out in ER and were no longer able to get into...

  23. Offered my first nursing job before graduation

    applesxoranges replied to Shorty11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That is very true! A nurse extern where I worked was told they had nothing for her and once she passed her boards, she was out of a job. She was lucky to get a job at a competing hospital

  24. Sooooo much debt already

    applesxoranges replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    The chart above seems to be inflated. My job market is listed up there and I am a new nurse. I make 12,000 less than that assuming I will not get overtime. I do put 15% away for retirement though and...

  25. Question about RN to BSN and SAP issues

    applesxoranges replied to sweetlilwolf's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    That's what my degree plan was. I would post in the UTA and see if other people have had success with their appeals. My one cousin was denied his financial aid appeal for a bachelors in arts. How...
