  1. Chemistry anyone??

    applesxoranges replied to Guest757854's topic in Ohio University

    Yes, but my college was a partner school and about 2 years ago they were accepting the remedial chemistry in place of the regular chemistry because of the partnership between the schools. I took the...

  2. How long to hear back?

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

    Actually, the 1000 dollars off appears if you work for a hospital that partners with them and is for Feb. only. I didn't read the fine details, just the little ad that pops up now and then. RN to BSN...

  3. PRECEPTORSHIP!

    applesxoranges replied to ABailey2326's topic in General Students

    Be willing to learn. No one expects you to know 100% straight out. Try to make a good impression. I was just hired full time in the ICU in my company that does not hire full time anymore

  4. University of Louisiana Lafayette

    applesxoranges replied to ashmiller85's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A little saddened because I have to wait to test for NCLEX. I am hoping to get it by the deadlines for the March

  5. What to say at a Job Fair (for RN student taking time off from school..

    applesxoranges replied to mannajill's topic in General Students

    Unless they require the first semester of nursing school complete, I would just say that you are a nursing student and expected graduation date like I put down Dec. 2013. It helps also if you know...

  6. What are the most common positions for new grads?

    applesxoranges replied to RHill9919's topic in General Students

    Now a days it varies so much between location and location. One hospital will hire new grads and another will not. Some will have residency programs and others will not. However, I recommend getting...

  7. Unrealistic nursing students

    applesxoranges replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    I worked hard to get at where I am and I am getting the rewards. However, mine were more vague like at this point I want to be an ER or an ICU nurse and I've gotten job offers in both. Not full-time...

  8. BSN vs ASN

    applesxoranges replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    That is the issue. Different programs have different standards. I would think that the school that didn't know what to do with your test anxiety reflects poorly on their testing services. I'm assuming...

  9. Just graduated!!!

    applesxoranges replied to Sponges's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I graduated too! I wish we could get the ATT letter released early. They made it sound like they don't process any till the college reopens in January. I don't have to do VATI thankfully...

  10. medical marijuana past and wanting to be a nurse

    applesxoranges replied to lakersfan92's topic in General Students

    If it is no longer active and you test clean from the drugs, then it should be okay. Just don't lie about having one in the past if there is a question on applying to the board's nursing application....

  11. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    applesxoranges replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Issue is that they may be in a national

  12. BSN vs ASN

    applesxoranges replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    I will say this though the best nurses I know of are diploma and associate nurses with lots of experience. The best nurse I look up to is a diploma nurse who graduated in

  13. University of Louisiana Lafayette

    applesxoranges replied to ashmiller85's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've applied to this school, UTA, and Indiana Wesleyan. I am a little nervous about not much info about the program but the few that have started seemed to have liked it so far. I did consider OU but...

  14. Can a Patient Care Tech work in Labor & Delivery & Postpartum?

    applesxoranges replied to mkstowers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've seen unit clerks in L&D around where I live in that state but the busier ones may hire pcts. I've really seen postings for a HUC/PCT for

  15. Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal?

    applesxoranges replied to SandBetweenMyToes's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Does anyone have more information regarding the original topic of DNP by 2015? I can't find anything on my board. I think it's like the BSN in 10 where it is

  16. Completed my first semester of nursing school

    applesxoranges replied to Miss Dia's topic in General Students

    If you do want to start reading ahead, I would email the instructor and ask if you can get a course syllabus

  17. BSN vs ASN

    applesxoranges replied to SimonTan's topic in General Students

    In my experience, it is the school that makes a bigger difference than whether it is a BSN or an ADN. However, when it comes to hiring, hospitals prefer BSNs because many of them drool over the...

  18. Nervous - Entering RN Class at 3rd Semester

    applesxoranges replied to beshacohen's topic in LPN to RN

    Honestly? I jumped around sections that I didn't recognize half the students to begin with. Also, we had people that would transfer in or would fail so they would go backwards to our section that it...

  20. Taken for granted by nurses...

    applesxoranges replied to PD82's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Or think that because they put their time in, they have the right to not do any tech

  21. Frustrated with RN-BSN classes

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

    The issue is that the ADN has a lot of the general educations built in as pre-reqs. It is really a three year program. What bugs me is that the theory that the BSN is supposed to show a higher level...

  22. Patient took pictures of RN

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I read the missed connections on Craigslist and I saw that one of patients took a picture of a RN and posted them. These pictures do not look like she was posing for a picture like one she was bent...

  23. Take First Job or Wait

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So yesterday I was offered a job in the department I work and I am thinking about taking it. I called the ICU at the hospital I work and they said that they would get back to me on Monday and they...

  24. I can't be excited
