    Another GPA Question

    WookieeRN replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    ABSN are a lot more competitive than traditional BSN or ADN programs depending on the school. I would definitely expand your search to ADN programs as

    ?? HH hiring process and shady company?

    WookieeRN replied to ljapri3's topic in Home Health

    Yikes. So many red

    Help please I am wanting to get my RN online

    WookieeRN replied to caseylynn2002's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with PP, if your LVN credits didn't transfer it looks like you will need to start from square 1. As of right now, and hopefully forever, there are no completely 100% online nursing

    Another GPA Question

    WookieeRN replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    Agreed. Just look at the Low GPA threads around Allnurses. It's the same story, different day. Listen, I was one of those people before I got into my program. I am NOT trying to kick you while you're...

    Another GPA Question

    WookieeRN replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    Here is the thing with nursing schools and minimum GPA: an overwhelming amount of students applying have way above the minimum GPA. Minimum GPA =/= Acceptance. You will want to be competitive with the...

    Thread spinoff: denied time off and vacation approval notice

    WookieeRN replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Then it's completely absurd! I agree, this seems excessively spiteful on management's

    Thread spinoff: denied time off and vacation approval notice

    WookieeRN replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I really don't codone calling out but when you found your own coverage like OP mentioned, then management says no AFTER you've booked, etc it kind of says a lot about the management. I could...

    Help! I look young!

    WookieeRN replied to hella_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm in the same boat. I'm 27, but a lot of people have a hard time believing that I've even graduated high school yet. It also does not help that I'm only about 5 foot 2. It really does not help...

    Looking for Nursing schools in California that accept International students

    WookieeRN replied to l0saC08's topic in General World

    Jack2014 hasn't posted since May 2014 so you might be out of luck on that

    Was my professor out of line?

    WookieeRN replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I think this is very common of nursing programs, and most of the time it's not because they want to make their students suffer. They can't give everyone a pass on the attendance policy, otherwise they...

    Overpayment

    WookieeRN replied to FloridaGatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes for the other person, but this is exactly why honesty is (usually) the best

    Was my professor out of line?

    WookieeRN replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    You said you wanted to be an honest nurse, yet when people give you honest opinions you get upset. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. You are in the wrong place if you want hand-holding...

    What is it with nurses showing up late!

    WookieeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but according to others we aren't thinking about what other people are going through (or what causes them to be late). I don't care, just show up on time and there won't be a problem. There...

    Was my professor out of line?

    WookieeRN replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I think the only inappropriate thing was asking if you were Catholic. That was seriously of left field and not related to the conversation whatsoever. Are you doing poorly in school? Borderline...

    One year old while in school

    WookieeRN replied to JTmom915's topic in General Students

    You just have to schedule your time. My mom did it with a 9mo old, a 3yo, and managed a household too. Get a 24/7 calendar and manage your time

    New Grad jobs in NJ/NY?

    WookieeRN replied to toeknee33's topic in General Students

    Your moving into a tough, tough area. I think summer residencies would already have been posted/filled by now but I think you would have a better chance getting any sort of job in NJ over NY. Not the...

    Overpayment

    WookieeRN replied to FloridaGatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely keep a record of communication (hard and electronic copies) and put the money aside somewhere where you won't touch it. I've heard stories of things like this coming back to haunt...

    HELP! failed pre-reqs

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

    Retake them somewhere else. I would aim for As, bare minimum. Very few people get into nursing school with the minimum GPA these

    What is it with nurses showing up late!

    WookieeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't understand how people don't feel embarrassed or ashamed at being chronically late. Don't they care that people will most likely consider them unreliable? Does people thinking that about...

    Able To Work Business Hours?

    WookieeRN replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    You're lucky the program is accommodating at all. Many programs won't even take into consideration if someone can't get a babysitter every Tuesday. I agree with RNsRWe: you are looking for a Holy...

    For-profits, most likely, but you will pay out the wazoo and be buried in debt for the rest of your

    Other student needs too much help

    WookieeRN replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    Is helping her affecting your schoolwork at all? I just noticed that it seemed like you are taking an awful amount of time out of your day to help her, so I was wondering if you felt it was hurting...

    California taxes

    WookieeRN replied to DM74LA's topic in California Nursing

    That is absolutely ridiculous. Now I don't understand everyone wanting to run to CA to work for higher wages when you end up making just as much as you would in the South once taxes are taken out. How...
