    FolksBtrippin replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You should put your GPA on your resume if it is over a 3.0. Otherwise, everyone will assume you barely

    New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    FolksBtrippin replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So sorry you are going through this. I can't tell you if it is normal or not because I am still in school, but I can tell you that I was on a unit like that for one of my clinicals. When I think about...

    Do grades mean much?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is very hard. You should not become disillusioned if you are getting Bs instead of As, so long as you are doing the best you can. Do your very, very best. Keep growing, changing,...

    In fear of losing my license.

    FolksBtrippin replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    The word "domestic" in domestic violence refers to the fact that the perpetrator and victim have or have had in the past some type of romantic or sexual relationship. Before a domestic abuser abuses...

    In fear of losing my license.

    FolksBtrippin replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    There was a relationship. He was not a stranger. They chatted, he knows her name, he knows where she works. That is a type of relationship. I also want to address the fact that telling a domestic...

    In fear of losing my license.

    FolksBtrippin replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify what I mean: You state "you don't get to control how people react." My response is that people also do not get to react however they want. They can think what they want but they also can't...

    In fear of losing my license.

    FolksBtrippin replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    True, people can think whatever they want about you. But they don't actually get to react any old way they want. People can hate you because you're black, ugly, republican or Jewish too but they can't...

    Well... Do you live in Iran? Are you in an area occupied by ISIS? You might have a problem there. If you live in the US, you should be okay. The BON will simply have you sew a large red A on your...

    The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    FolksBtrippin replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think NPs will eventually replace physicians in primary care and probably in outpatient psychiatric care too. Not so for PAs, they require a physician to work under. I think the nursing model...

    Students who chat during lectures

    FolksBtrippin replied to ksw1978's topic in General Students

    I have had the same problem. It is extremely frustrating. I'm in my last semester, and the biggest culprits did fail the second semester, so it has gotten a little better. But it is still occasionally...

    Is it bad that I can't work holidays?

    FolksBtrippin replied to alieu4's topic in General Students

    People are very touchy on these boards about this subject. Truth is, it's not "bad" if you don't work holidays. It's not "good" if you do. It is either acceptable to your employer and part of your...

    WGU will not accept me

    FolksBtrippin replied to jenam2you's topic in Western Governors University

    Since you've moved on, i guess it's not a problem for you anymore. I would still have a problem with this. The hospital is getting an RN without paying for one. If the hospital wouldn't make an...

    WGU will not accept me

    FolksBtrippin replied to jenam2you's topic in Western Governors University

    I agree with you that you need to fight the power. But I think you are picking the wrong fight. I think you need to get the hospital you are working for to hire you as an RN since you are in fact an...

    How to deal with energy parasites?

    FolksBtrippin replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like all the avoiding and boundary holding is getting exhausting. Maybe try a different approach. One that isn't such a struggle. I would give a suggestion of a new approach but I'm not...

    Actually, Drexel offers a part time accelerated BSN. It takes 24 months, and is done on weekends and evenings. Drexel is very expensive though, you will pay about 50k. The program is designed so that...

    BS in Nursing vs BSN

    FolksBtrippin replied to kmn0601's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is no difference at all. Don't spend another second thinking about it. At my school we technically get a BS in nursing as well. The education is exactly the

    Is it okay to look for another job?

    FolksBtrippin replied to kmend11's topic in General Nursing

    Am I not meant to be a nurse?

    FolksBtrippin replied to mimi1317's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make an in person appointment with the dean of admissions or another dean and ask why you didn't get in and what you need to do to be more competitive. Don't let them just blow you off. If you can't...

    Group Projects

    FolksBtrippin replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in General Students

    I HATE group projects! You absolutely need to pull in the professor at this point. I do not think you will be in trouble for doing the entire last assignment. It's not good, but what's done is done....

    FolksBtrippin replied to neuron's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will see a lot of "select all that apply" questions throughout nursing school. They are hard, but you get used to them with practice. This is to prepare you for the NCLEX. It prepares you to think...
