  1. Can an employer ask this question?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to luvhospics's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Perhaps she asked this question out of concern and compassion for you as a person. It seems that she was not really asking as she likely already "knows" something is off with you. Whatever the reason...

  2. Expungements in MN

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    So, not exactly a nurse entrepreneur idea, but hear me out and let me know what you think. I'm an attorney who decided to go back to school to become a nurse. I will be starting nursing school in the...

  3. Expungements in MN

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Peanut&Buttercup's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks for your reply! An expungement means the criminal record no longer exists -- at least publicly. In other words, you don't need to "check the box" indicating that you have a past conviction...

  4. Rasmussen or not?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to enfield76's topic in General Nursing

    I will be starting at North Hennepin Community College in 10 days. Everyone has to do what's best for them, but I would never attend a for-profit school like Rasmussen. NHCC has a day and a night and...

  5. Have a BS Biology. Best to do ABSN or ADN?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Allison514's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't stated nursing school (yet), so my knowledge is obviously limited. If you do an ADN program, the biggest hurdle you will have to move toward your ultimate goal is getting that ICU...

  6. What Supplies Should I Get for School?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to SKay226's topic in General Students

    My school gave us a list too but I feel like there's a "secret" not required list that I should have but isn't "required." :) I've been eyeing the WhiteCoat clipboards. They have lab values on...

  7. Vaccines

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to michelle99's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You should call to make sure, but you might want to wait on the BLS Healthcare Provider CPR Certification. My school (ADN) doesn't want you to do it until the point that you would not need to re...

  8. Sometimes I feel like I am not smart enough

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your school have tutors? Use them? Does your professor have office hours? Be there! Every. Single. Week. As far as your mom, I suggest following your dad's lead. Don't follow your mom down...

  9. Weekend RN Classes?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to renae24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, not totally on the weekend. My school has a regular day program and a night/weekend program. For the first semester of the night/weekend program, we go 7 am to 5 pm every other Saturday and...

  10. FNP grad student needs topic for thesis.

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to emac44's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just finished a Coursera course on chronic pain. It was really fascinating. The instructor was James Fricton at the University of Minnesota, who based the course on his book The Last Scroll. Maybe...

  11. Change of Life

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to kbdavis's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm so jealous! I'd love to do that too. But I'm just starting nursing school. Maybe in 10 years, when I get through it

  12. Senate Bill 160 is keeping me from finding a job

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Lutrena's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Are you asking about your ability to get a license? Even if you get your records expunged, the BON will be able to still see them. However, if you are asking about having to "check the box" on a job...

  13. CNA testing

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am starting the nursing program at NHCC this fall. I have not taken a CNA course yet. Does anyone know if I have to take a CNA class, or can I just take the test after the first semester of nursing...

  14. BSN or ADN?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to ClaudetteGee's topic in School, College Programs

    The cost to retake a class or two at the community college is going to be far less than those hefty loans. Plus, your credits may not transfer if you decide to further your education at some point...

  15. Spring 2015 MANE programs

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are correct. I'd call the school to check who you make it out

  16. Out of my element: need some advice

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, they called you, so they must think you can handle

  17. Mane with MetroState

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    Good point! I hadn't thought of that part. I was told that we will need to complete the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum while at Metro. I don't see that in anything posted online, but I did ask my...

  18. Mane with MetroState

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! That was

  19. AA in Liberal Arts

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Peanut&Buttercup's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely talk with my school more before I do

  20. AA in Liberal Arts

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in General Students

    If I take two more classes, I'll earn an AA in liberal arts. I'm in an ADN program. One class, I would need for my BSN and it would transfer. As it's cheaper at my community college, that one is a no...

  21. Please give me some feedback on my resume so I can apply for my dream job!

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to mrsmommyx4RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not a nurse yet, so take my comments with a grain of salt. Objective: get rid of it. You want to tell the employer what YOU can do for THEM. Not the other way around. I'm not sure about nursing...

  22. Reputations of IHCC/NHCC/other MANE schools?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to virgo7598's topic in General Nursing

    Good! I've heard that NHCC has a good reputation. I'll see you in the

  23. Reputations of IHCC/NHCC/other MANE schools?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to virgo7598's topic in General Nursing

    NHCC has a day program (40 students) and an evening/weekend program (32 students). I'll be starting the e/w program this fall. NHCC's nursing program is moving into the new bioscience & health...

  25. Attorney to Nurse Career

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Brett73's topic in Legal

    I'm starting nursing school this fall. Attorney for 14. Still freaking out about it
