    Stalking - dropping off resume to nurse recruite/HR without appointment

    WookieeRN replied to nonnocere1988's topic in Nursing Career

    When someone used to come in at my old job asking to speak to someone in HR/a Nurse Recruiter they were shown the door and told to just apply online. I can honestly tell you I never spoke to any...

    Students asking for free money

    WookieeRN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Some people come up with some seriously odd ways to pay for nursing school, I've seen. One girl on here was telling a poster to sell their used underwear on eBay to pay for school. I was like...

    Watts School of Nursing 2015

    WookieeRN replied to BioChick23's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    There is a calculator on the exam for you to use. The math portion is pretty easy. I got a 97% on it and I hadn't taken a math test in years. I don't think you need to get the OK from Watts to apply...

    Students asking for free money

    WookieeRN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    For me it's the same, except I'm a sucker for a GoFundMe that a local dog rescue does every once in a while when they get really expensive vet bills or really tough rehab cases that deplete their...

    Students asking for free money

    WookieeRN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Seriously, people will start a GoFundMe for ANYTHING. One I saw, a couple posted a GoFundMe because they were mad that no one gave them any money at their wedding as a gift, even though they...

    Students asking for free money

    WookieeRN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    I see more of the self-entitlement when said students complain that no one donated to their fund or they didn't get as much as they wanted/needed. I don't pay for others people's education before mine...

    Watts School of Nursing 2015

    WookieeRN replied to BioChick23's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm currently in the pre-req portion at Watts. The HESI was pretty easy. I got an 89% without much trouble, so you needn't be too concerned. They are pretty quick with response for whether or not you...

    Can you have piercings in the nursing program?

    WookieeRN replied to choomtop's topic in General Students

    Honestly, depending on the program, they might require you to completely remove it. You'll have to reach out to your program for

    New graduate without experience looking for RN job in New jersey

    WookieeRN replied to IvoryRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would apply to anywhere and everywhere that might hire nurses. The NJ market is saturated with new grads so you're going up against a lot of competition from them and experienced

    Nursing Interview: Missed Call?!

    WookieeRN replied to emilyjRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm hung up on this BIG red flag: who calls for an interview, leaves a message, but does NOT leave a number to return their call when they ask for a return

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    WookieeRN replied to ms.gin728's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was wondering when Pearson Vue would pick up on this and realize how much potential $$$ they would be missing out on. If this is true, it looks like there will be no more good/bad pop up and...

    WookieeRN replied to RoyalBlue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You won't be able to find a job in the nursing field until you are licensed. There are a couple unlicensed positions you could look at, like the previous posters

    Hesi petition

    WookieeRN replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

    I'm just going to piggyback off of this response because I agree with it 100% and think it brings up a very important point. If you truly do seek change, and do not simply just want to complain, you...

    Low GPA need help finding schools!

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

    I think your best bet would be to retake anything you didn't get an A in to become competitive. I'm not sure what the average GPA for nursing program acceptance is around GA but many schools are so...

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

    Ok, here is the thing. The minimum grade that many nursing schools say they will take in 95% of situations isn't even close to their minimum for what they consider competitive. You'll see many...

    New grads and Social Media

    WookieeRN replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Students

    I barely use most social media. My Facebook is so boring, I don't really use twitter. The only thing I really use more than the others is Instagram--which is about 95% pictures of my dog, LOL! My...
