    marijuana and nursing.

    WookieeRN replied to middleagednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even if pot is legalized on the federal level, I forsee many hospitals still terminating you (or rescinding offers) for a positive test. It will be treated just like

    Pre employment substance testing

    WookieeRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    An employer can use any reason to disqualify you as long as it isn't because of a protected class. If I dont like the perfume you wore to the interview, I could refuse to hire you and its legal....

    Future BSN RN marrying into the military

    WookieeRN replied to shanicep93's topic in Nursing Career

    I think Colorado is hit or miss. I've seen a lot of people say it's hard for new grads in CO, especially in Denver, but there are people that have also had no

    US Citizen with Kenyan RN, transfer license to CA?

    WookieeRN replied to joannanairobi's topic in International Nursing

    CA is far from friendly to all foreign grads. Just ask any of the nurses from the Phillipines trying to endorse to CA and being turned away. CA has become very

    Might be able to do it in 3. It depends what prerequisites you have done and what the bsn program requires. Most likely 4

    I made poor judgments during my university days and need some real advice.

    WookieeRN replied to jyoo1017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't withhold transcripts. It is extremely ill-advised, because they will view you a lot differently if they later find out through a student clearinghouse that you willingly withheld transcripts...

    This is a giant example of someone not doing their due

    failed nursing school again

    WookieeRN replied to snowybee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For real. If there wasn't such a big difference between an LPN and an RN they would both be interchangeable in the same role, and make the same per

    Loan forgiveness options? Help!

    WookieeRN replied to kaimkaim's topic in General Nursing

    Nice try, but there is actually expected to be a glut of nurses until 2020 and beyond. Also, I think you sorely need to look up what a troll is. I don't see anyone trolling but you, right

    1 Hour and 25min drive to school to become an RN? It's it really worth it!

    WookieeRN replied to MARI3LA's topic in General Students

    Wayyyy to far for me. I currently live 10 minutes to school. I wouldn't commute more than 45 minutes, but that's just me. I got to school with 1 girl that drives 2 hours one

    What would you do?

    WookieeRN replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

    200k a year maybe long after their residency but how much of that will go right into their malpractice and school loans? Man, will they ever be

    Student Loans

    WookieeRN replied to Tierra60's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't ever take a loan out for living expenses. Also keep in mind that you don't want your loans to total altogether more than you would make your first year in salary (that includes previous...

    Chamberlain Nursing School... Is it worth it?

    WookieeRN replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Chamberlain College

    Definitely look at what your employment outlook is in Chicago as a new grad. The last thing you need is a giant debt bubble over your head with a huge payment due and being unemployed for 6 months...

    About paying off student loans

    WookieeRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes, a hundred times yes. Some people could say that allowing bankruptcy would force schools to drop their tuition rates to have more enrollment. I don't think so. I forsee it turning into...

    Attention WEST COAST GRADS OR CURRENT STUDENTS

    WookieeRN replied to nurseB32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a blessing in disguise for you to not have gotten a loan. That price is RIDICULOUS. Find a cheaper school, seriously. You won't regret it. Do you really want to be paying back $1600/mo or...

    About paying off student loans

    WookieeRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    See, you did everything right. You did your due diligence and you are paying up for what you signed on for. Seriously, I commend that. I am all for people taking out loans if they would just educate...

    About paying off student loans

    WookieeRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of the people that take out these huge students loans are definitely living in the now as opposed to looking at the bigger picture like others have stated. It's all about instant...

    Watts School of Nursing 2015

    WookieeRN replied to BioChick23's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Prerequisites are going fine. I got As in both A&P and English, and psych finishes up next week. It's getting closer and closer to when I start nursing classes in August and I'm getting nervous,...

    Loan forgiveness options? Help!

    WookieeRN replied to kaimkaim's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. I don't see rudeness in any of these posts. Just direct and unsugarcoated information. I don't see it as a north/south thing, but more of a thick skinned versus thin

    Loan forgiveness options? Help!

    WookieeRN replied to kaimkaim's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, wait for the next nursing shortage when they start offering ridiculous sign-on bonuses in maybe 15-20 years. What you're looking for is going the way of the dodo, but I wish you the best of...
