    Accelerated BSN and low GPA?

    cracklingkraken replied to bostonbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would research the hiring requirements at hospitals (if you want to work in a hospital), as some are requiring new grads to have BSNs. But ADN programs tend to be more cost efficient and quicker...

    Am I nuts?

    cracklingkraken replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Clinicals start this week!

    cracklingkraken replied to Goose2015's topic in General Students

    I learned to gauge my nurse's personality. I often end up with quiet, reserved nurses and think they hate me but find out that they're just not a really social person. It certainly made me not take...

    If you're relying on the PVT, that is not an accurate indication of you passing or failing. I don't see how you could pass under the suspicion of cheating, as PPs

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I had my surgery done out of country. I don't know about full correction vs. MonoVision, but I had the surgery done on both of my eyes. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes...

    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    cracklingkraken replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    The first doctor I witnessed in a pt's room.. he came in, uncovered both of the pt's stage 3/4 ulcers on his feet, and didn't even bother wrapping them back up. He left it for the nurse.
