  2. School loans and personal loans

    Cat365 replied to Kaytee12's topic in General Nursing

    Fill out a FASFA and set up a meeting with the schools financial aid office. It depends on the cost of the school, how many credits and semesters, if you qualify for grants or not. Make sure you...

  3. One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

    Cat365 replied to BellaCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see both sides. It probably is rude, but as a person who tried to learn another language and failed, I'm sure it is easier to revert back to your native language. No matter how well you know a...

    Cat365 replied to 120189's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cat365 replied to butterflytessa's topic in General Nursing

  8. What do other hospitals do regard to scheduling staff for weekends?

    Cat365 replied to Metalchild's topic in General Nursing

    My contract that I signed when I hired stated the weekend policy. I think it was every third, but since I was in school mine was modified to make it every weekend. That's what I wanted and there were...

  9. Typical part time hours for hospital CNAs?

    Cat365 replied to ChipotleNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about other hospitals, but when I was hired I contracted to work a certain number of hours. If they needed help beyond that they asked for volunteers and they usually get them. I was not...

  10. Feeling so Bummed

    Cat365 replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    Not defending her, she may be pulling away, but as a side note I would not extend an invitation to go to someone else's house. I was raised to think that was rude. The person who owns the house should...

    Cat365 replied to Shady44's topic in School, College Programs

  12. Ivy Tech 2016

    Cat365 replied to Alli0926's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure how many responses you will get because I believe that Ivy Tech changed the way they award points within the last year or two. When I applied I had an A in every class that counted plus a...

  13. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Cat365 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not arguing that it is right or wrong, but I do think that it can be a consideration. I know someone who goes to a Dr that likely qualifies as morbidly obese. When the doctor told him that he...

    Cat365 replied to Samyong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started at 32. I was 35 when I received my ASN and I had a blast. It was a third career for me and I am already planning my BSN or MSN education. If I go by the current retirement age I still have...

    Cat365 replied to macjay's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in an area where it is hard to obtain a new job? Either as an RN or another low paying job? Unless this is the case or you really love your cashier job I would quit and focus on becoming an...

  16. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Cat365 replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Exactly. I'm attracted to the person, not the profession. I have been told before that I am a bit too independent. I consider myself confident and aware of who I am and what I want. I am not attracted...

  17. Pregnant, scared, emetophobe, nursing student

    Cat365 replied to Zerocks's topic in General Nursing

    As the previous posters stated you need to find a counselor that specializes in phobias immediately. You also need to contact your primary care or your OB provider. I would set up a meeting with your...

    Cat365 replied to Cat365's topic in General Nursing

  23. Bookbag for nursing school?

    Cat365 replied to abarreto's topic in General Students

    I used separate bags for each class, but my classes were on different days. Some of my classmates did use rolling bags because they only used the one bag (a lot of different books= a heavy bag). I...

    Cat365 replied to worrywart01's topic in Psychiatric

    Cat365 replied to Ash0315's topic in General Nursing
