  1. Looking for RN to BSN Program w/certain criteria

    applesxoranges replied to rnfostermom's topic in General Students

    You did finish reading her post to the end? You know, the part where it says she's enrolled in a statistics class? In all honesty, college algebra is overrated. I took it back in high school as a...

  2. ADN to BSN advice

    applesxoranges replied to Abkelk's topic in General Students

    Does your employer offer tuition reimbursement? I would sit down and begin budgeting how much you truly would need. I would then pick three schools and figure out what credits transfer and what...

  3. New grad frustration

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

    Lots of my classmates are in the same boat. It's been about sixty days for them and now they are starting to

  4. Michigan Endorsement

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Michigan Nursing

    1 week in! It's pending now. I am going to lean towards it's pending for my background check. I hope they accepted my finger print cards (we had issues and had to do it 4

  5. ER Tech or Pool Tech: which will benefit me the most?

    applesxoranges replied to newtechuk's topic in General Students

    On one hand, I would see if you can get any info on whether the ED position will actually materialize. With hospitals, a lot of things can happen like budgets change or suddenly they are over the FTE...

  6. Wedding Band

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Would you ever buy a wedding band to just wear at work if you were/are not married? I am considering one because we have a psych floor and I am a bit "too nice." I genuinely am nice to people. This...

  7. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    applesxoranges replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    The way it was listed in my school was that you have 3 sections except when there was low enrollment and they dropped it down to 2. One was traditionally night lecture + online lecture and 2 day...

  8. Help! Should I go from CNA to RN or LPN to RN

    applesxoranges replied to piplup12345's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My advice is to keep an open mind regardless of what path you take. If you can remain flexible enough to be open to moving after you graduate, the chances of finding a job will be much better. A lot...

  9. Give me some hope...Is ANYONE happy being a nurse??

    applesxoranges replied to Rebekah1882's topic in General Nursing

    If there is a good team dynamic, I find that I can like the hospital. I didn't like days and they put me on days so I was unhappy. Back on nights, I like it

  10. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    applesxoranges replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    We have to continuing education in both pediatric and trauma, but ACLS is the only one required for us. Their reasoning is that not all paramedics transport children. The individual company is the...

  11. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    applesxoranges replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    I don't know if it is illegal to pretend to be a paramedic or not in my state. I think it is as if you're advertising yourself as a health professional, you could potentially get in trouble for not...

  12. Growing Up Unvaccinated

    applesxoranges replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My kids will be vaccinated. I would rather see them cry for a bit than to end up with a disease we could have

  13. Online ADN to BSN

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

    I like OU so far but they limit who can apply now to five states around

  14. Has any one graduated from the excelsior LPN to RN program?

    applesxoranges replied to mclaughlin1128's topic in Excelsior College

    I would also be aware that some states will not accept you as an RN if your initial RN training was through Excelsior. The only one I can think of is California that has that issue. They did used to...

  15. Is this risking my license?

    applesxoranges replied to chende's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Are you completely by there by yourself? Any LPNs that help with med passes or

  16. I can't work at the VA hospital when I graduate!

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

    You're school is accredited by your state board but probably not the NLNAC or whatever they call themselves now. It's listed here: Approved Nursing Programs What happened to me is that my school lost...

  17. Occurence reporting to punish other nurses

    applesxoranges replied to sistrmoon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I was thinking "more experienced" when I said it. Unfortunately, it is the ones that have been nurses for over 10 years that are being catty about this stuff. It goes through cycles where...

  18. Canadian looking to study in the US for RN licensure.

    applesxoranges replied to Alycat09's topic in Nurse Registration

    Well, I would first narrow down what state you would like. Different states have different requirements and there's no national guidelines. I am a state only in the states where I've applied for...

  19. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

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

    I will say that a lot of the articles in journals like to cite the same pro-BSN articles over and over

  20. What would you have done differently

    applesxoranges replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    Accepted a part time position in a unit that I worked instead of going full-time in another

  21. Occurence reporting to punish other nurses

    applesxoranges replied to sistrmoon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of the places I worked before I was a nurse, every department wrote a report out for every little thing. Radiology did it to the nurses because they felt like the day shift was writing out reports...

  22. Marijuana and nursing

    applesxoranges replied to swimmer333's topic in General Nursing

    If they are allowed to not hire users of nicotine, then I would bet they would be allowed to not hire marijuana users. I do not know how the medical part will come into

  23. Hating 1st Job

    applesxoranges posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I picked a job and now I am really starting to hate it. It's only been 2 months and I haven't started on the shift that I want to work. I am really considering starting to apply at different...

  25. Denied employment due to non-accredited/private school nursing degree!

    applesxoranges replied to Ambitious83's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My school lost accreditation but had it back by the time I graduated (ACEN, associate degree school). So initially the grads were furious and unable to find work due to the media shitstorm. Then after...
