    Nursing shortage???

    WookieeRN replied to MatrixRn's topic in Nursing News

    Yup, and this program actually used to have an ADN program and it looks like its completely gotten rid of that in favor of the ABSN. If the market wasn't already tough in Philly, it's about to get a...

    Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

    WookieeRN replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I second a sit-down. There are a lot of red flags just in your post alone, and he could very well be in danger over losing his job very soon. I am really concerned with his need to report other staff....

    Low GPA Accelerated Nursing Programs

    WookieeRN replied to joaugust's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not really, but your best bet would be to start in your immediate area and work your way out. I would start at state schools (cheaper) then to private schools (more expensive). Since you already have...

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    WookieeRN replied to kmreid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will need to check with your state BON if they let RN students pursue the NCLEX-PN after a certain point (many do not). Also, unless they offer the class on that campus I'm not quite sure how you...

    Low GPA Accelerated Nursing Programs

    WookieeRN replied to joaugust's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seems like a good option for you would be to find an ABSN that only looks at prerequisite GPA, not cumulative GPA. I would start calling around and asking

    Pre-req classes for nursing

    WookieeRN replied to tschleiker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biology is a prerequisite for a reason. Consider trying to CLEP it but they might still require you to complete a second Bio class (usually a BIO102,ETC or whatever follows the BIOXXX intro

    WookieeRN replied to Nursing5000's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes! 100% agree. Those guys and gals work for you! I got my state rep to look into an erroneous parking ticket and got it reversed. That is peanuts compared to this. They should be more than willing...

    Unsupportive spouse?

    WookieeRN replied to spierre's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You guys definitely need to look into counseling. It seems like there are underlying issues in the marriage, and it is being projecting onto you going to nursing school. Nursing school very well may...

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    WookieeRN replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree. That is what I don't get. It's still a guy so if you refuse a male nurse, you should be refusing a male doctor for the same reason. I really feel for male nurses and students, because I feel...

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    WookieeRN replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to say from personal experience I have never had a male GYN and never will. I actually don't see male doctors at all because they make me uncomfortable (stemming from a past experience with a...

    "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

    WookieeRN replied to mirandaaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think, for a lot of people, "don't work" is kind of like the answers on the NCLEX. If a perfect world that WOULD be the answer to the question. That's why so many people give the answer. Is it...

    What is the freaking deal with OB?

    WookieeRN replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    I want to be as far away from OB as possible. It just does not interest me whatsoever. I don't understand how everyone seems to want to do it, but I am also not a fan of pregnancy and childbirth. I...

    Is it possible to become a RN but work part time from the start. Get Air Force commission?

    WookieeRN replied to Chadmasters's topic in Government, Military

    Ok I think I misunderstood your post. I thought you were talking about working part-time as a commissioned nurse. My mistake. A lot of people around here have only been able to get PT work as a new...

    Is it possible to become a RN but work part time from the start. Get Air Force commission?

    WookieeRN replied to Chadmasters's topic in Government, Military

    It's hard to say. You are essentially asking us to predict what the military may or may not allow in 15 or more years (since you said you are not yet 30). A lot can change in that time. Right now the...

    Is it possible to become a RN but work part time from the start. Get Air Force commission?

    WookieeRN replied to Chadmasters's topic in Government, Military

    From my understanding, military nursing is pretty competitive right now since they aren't exactly hurting for nurses at this point but that could change in 15-20

    Western Governors University

    WookieeRN replied to blue_aphalt's topic in Western Governors University

    Probably residual anger from her last thread where people weren't justifying her letting her godparents go into $132k in debt for her to go to West Coast University. That comment was ridiculously...

    New Grad Hiring

    WookieeRN replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From my personal experience working in HR at a hospital, new grads accounted for a small percentage of people we hired (like 5-10%). Most were hired because the nurse manager came to me and said "I...

    Online application status being reviewed but job filled!!!!! 😡

    WookieeRN replied to RNerica12's topic in General Nursing

    Probably is an automated update, not manually entered. They probably did truly send your resume to the manager, but by then she had decided on an internal candidate. It happens. Lines get crossed...

    I got a tour of the unit. Means I'm hired?

    We gave tours to all the interviews regardless of if we were going to hire them or not (we usually didn't make the decision until afterwards after reviewing all
