First of all, the accuser has to have some kind of proof that you didn't chart the vitals. Most hospitals have cameras in the hallways for the safety of the patients/staff/visitors. If you documented the vitals then there should be a computer/paper trail. If there isn't then you didn't do it.

Kudos to you for choosing oncology. There's most likely tons of books out there that you can read, sorry I can't recommend any. But I think hands-on will definitely teach you a lot. There's a lot of things that cannot be taught by books such as empathy and patience. Good luck!

Prioritization is the top category with NCLEX. So if you got a lot of those and it shut down at 75, then you most likely passed.

What you need to do is speak to the head of the residency program and explain your situation. If they cannot work with you then there goes your answer. You worked hard for your license.

Endoscopy M-F 8a-430p, no holidays or weekends.

Hi there, First all of all, not all nursing fields have to work holidays and weekends. However, with that you have to sacrifice something such as working 5 days a week. Considering you're pretty much a new nurse, there are certain things you have to "suck up". Nursing is not a job for the thin skinned. Patience and determination goes a long way. You're young and have time to start a family. Find a nursing position that makes you happy then start a family. And meditate :)

I suggest start taking some pre-reqs for a nursing program. Easy ones such as sociology, english, psychology, nutrition, etc. Do well on those and it'll boost up your GPA. There are some programs out there that only ask for 2.7 GPA. I attended Montefiore School of Nursing in Mt. Vernon. It's a 2 yr Associate's program (about $25k). I've got a few suggestions if you do decide to take up nursing there (you can email me). They only calculate the necessary pre-reqs to get a 2.7 GPA. So the rest of your "silly" classes won't matter. You can take the rest of the pre-reqs while doing the program, however, A&P 1 & 2 are recommended to be taken before the program because it'll be too hard to juggle the work. If you really want to become a nurse, don't even waste your time with any trade school. Good luck! By the way, I work at Jacobi :)

Hi there! I took the TEAS n the science part was a mix of life science to A&P. Basic stuff we learn in high school. Not so sure about Kaplan.

Thnx for info!

MY DAY 0!!!! LOL

Hi there! Can u tell me more about chamberlain when it comes to prices, how long to complete 1 course, etc. thnx in advance

Hi there! Jacobi starts w/ $69K for RN ADN. It's a city hospital. So it might be higher for you cause you have a master's. Good luck!!!

to those who got accepted, Congrats!! to those that didn't, don't give up! I'm a MSON graduate and anyone can ask me questions and I'll try to answer it as best as i can. Good luck everyone!!!

Hi there! Day option: lectures are 2x/wk, clinicals 1x/wk, lab's 1x/wk, there's 2 lab options which are held after lecture (a 3rd one if the class is big, if not it's used for open lab to practice skills, ). the day starts at 9am and the lab after that. Clinicals are 7a-4p w/ 1 hr break. hope that helps & good luck!!!

Hi there. The entrance exam's now Kaplan. I'm graduating from MSON this wk. the program is rigorous. No social life n u can manage ur time right u can get some sleep. The program's on the pricey side compared to community colleges. But I don't think it's as competitive as community colleges because of the people trying to get in. People might not want to owe a lot of money so they opt for the community colleges but that's added stress cause u have to compete with hundreds n hundreds of applicants. Once u do get in whatever college u choose, I advise to take it one exam at a time. N focus, read, understand the etiology. There r dozens of resources online that u can use to learn. Either visual or audio. Good luck!!!
