    Low GPA acceptance - Holy Family/Drexel/Gwynedd Mercy

    WookieeRN replied to KCarb's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm pretty sure Drexel is a minimum 3.0 GPA and Gwynedd, too... What did you apply with the compensate for your

    Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

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

    The only grief I get from family members is clearly routed in jealously, and they are family members I really won't care about when it comes time to cut them out of my

    What was your acceptance letter like?

    WookieeRN replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    Mine was an email. I got it while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in

    My exam

    WookieeRN replied to llashaundtx2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you want definite results, you'll need the wait until you can do Quick Results or otherwise get your result. Btw, the trick takes you to the credit card page regardless of whether you passed or...

    Will NCLEX ever REQUIRE BSN???

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

    I think you need to check your facts before posting something so obviously unresearched. Many states besides NY and PA hire ADNs, like more than a few of the 48 other states in the nation? Also every...

    Does pharmacy technician experience count for nursing?

    WookieeRN replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nope. Only counts toward pharmacy tech experience once you get a pharm tech

    Watts School of Nursing - January 2015

    WookieeRN replied to WookieeRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes, I did make it tonight. I agree it was sooooo short! At least I won a water bottle out of the

    I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    WookieeRN replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why the instructors didn't try to enforce the professional dress code policy by immediately sending the violators home. Problem solved--hopefully for their sake they get the...

    Influenza

    WookieeRN replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    I actually haven't gotten the flu since I was 8, so I am going on 19 years without getting it, and I've never gotten a flu shot. I must be one of the really lucky

    Asking for salary raise.

    WookieeRN replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Just don't say "if you don't give me a $1.00 raise I will quit." They will very likely say, "there is the door. Don't let it hit you on the way out." They aren't doling out raises because many clinics...

    CNA with own apartment?

    WookieeRN replied to Courtneyjamesw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You may find that a lot of apartments will expect you to have a job as well. I've lived in 3 so far and they've all required me to be currently employed. They'll ask for recent pay stubs to prove your...

    What is the draw to nursing these days

    WookieeRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, 1000x yes! Any thread where the posters mentions that nursing, being a nurse, or working in a specific specialty (always seems to be Ob/gyn for some reason...) is their dreaaaaaaaaaaam I...

    Why am I starting out making 19 an hour?

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

    What area of the country are you in? That wage isn't too surprising if you're outside the northeast or an area like SoCal. In the southeast I think that's a pretty average wage for a new nurse. You...

    What is the draw to nursing these days

    WookieeRN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I really think the outrage at the new grad job market is by people who really did not do their research before they entered their program. I see a lot lately mentioning the "nursing shortage" which is...

    Will I ever get accepted to nursing school? How?

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

    I've seen people on here say they've driven 2 hrs one way just to get to lecture! I agree a big step is going to be getting a drivers license in this

    Where do all the nursing students who keep getting rejected end up majoring in?

    WookieeRN replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    I've known quite a few that have ended up in psychology or healthcare administration
  17. WookieeRN

    Will I ever get accepted to nursing school? How?

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

    I will be honest with you: I did not have a 4.0 when I applied to nursing school. I was way below that, and I start the first portion of my program in 13 days. It is possible. It takes a lot of hard...

    Anybody approved for SSDI for fibro?

    WookieeRN replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have a friend whose husband has fibromyalgia. They have been trying to file for SSDI for about two-ish years. They keep getting denied but have been trying to do it without a lawyer. They're biting...

    Paying for NP school

    WookieeRN replied to aellisrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed. I cannot justify that kind of debt for myself! I would like to eventually go the NP route in the future, but not at that

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

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

    I bet people would still post topics about it, unless there is a rule that they are all referred to the the sticky and the new thread is immediately closed. I wish we could just ban PVT threads...

    Clinical social worker vs RN?

    WookieeRN replied to Healthcare102's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, I am pretty sure it is the opposite. I know many social workers, and they find the work draining, the working conditions are pretty lousy (and stressful), they see far more disturbing things...

    WookieeRN replied to WookieeRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Is everyone excited for the meeting next Thursday! I wish I would've known I was getting my picture taken during my meeting with the Watts coordinator at UMO because I was a MESS. Hope I don't have to...

    It will also depend on what type of visa you will be coming over on. Not all visas authorize you to work in the

    Please I need some advice on a decison....PA or NP?

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

    Most PA schools I've seen have required a minimum of 500 hours of direct patient care to even apply to the program, some were even as high as 1000+. I was told that CNA, CMA, RN, LPN, EMT/para, AT,...
