WookieeRN replied to guest859317's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

It's possible, maybe, depending on where you are. Just remember rent shouldn't be more than 35% of your income (but aim for lower) and you'll want to factor in your utilities to when it comes to your...
What kind of watch?

WookieeRN replied to PoodleLover86's topic in General Students

Nursing in NYC?

WookieeRN replied to LenaH19's topic in New York Nursing

If that is how you perceive negativity, you are in for a rude awakening when you get into the real world of nursing. The advice PP gave you was not negative in the least bit. Also, be aware this is a...
Don't know what to do???

WookieeRN replied to _bobby_leee's topic in Nursing Career

Experiences w/Recruiters (Hospital)

US hospital morgue management

WookieeRN replied to ixiaoniu's topic in Activism, Healthcare

I do believe there is a time limit for when a body must be taken to the morgue, but I think it may depend on a lot of factors and state law. There is no rule across the board for every situation of...

WookieeRN replied to Ceema09's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

All she is saying your use of the English language isn't proper and you're actually saying the OPPOSITE or what you mean when you use double negatives. Example, "my school days are over" not "been...

WookieeRN replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

Those threads are so so annoying, especially when every single solitary person needs to make a new thread about them doing to PVT. I swear they should be banned! Almost every thread demonstrates a...

Anatomy and Physiology

WookieeRN replied to kiken630's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Some schools only allow 1 retake. Some schools allow what feels like a million. Some schools take the grade off the transcript immediately, others leave it on their permanently. You need to do two...
Tuition Questions

WookieeRN replied to kaybee91's topic in General Students

Depending on your age you can get up to $12,500 (I believe) from the government through stafford loans as an independent student (age 24+, married, have dependents, veteran, etc). It is less if you...

Really? Why so Negative

WookieeRN replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in General Students

I have a strong feeling that the reasons why many nurses ask themselves 'WHY did I choose nursing?" or genuinely feeling burnt out really has to do with the employer, more so than the actual job of...
How to renew NCLEX in Sacramento if I have no SSN

WookieeRN replied to charmdelrosario's topic in Nurse Registration

Do you currently have a nursing license to endorse? I saw that you said you passed the NCLEX in 2011, but I assume you did not get a license in CA because you did not have a SSN at the time, correct?...
Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

WookieeRN replied to JB131's topic in General Students
