That's AWESOME. So glad to hear it worked out for you. I agree dealing with mom/baby is definitely better on the other side of the labor/delivery process ;-)

I understand you were advised to discuss it, but I agree with Soprano that if the statement is supposed to be about why you want to attend that program I don't think I would bring attention to the WDs until it came up. Alternatively, if you feel t...

I don't know how much this will help, but I have a friend that did this for one school year. It was all over the board. Sometimes she would know she was working certain days to cover days off, etc. Sometimes she was called the night before, some...

My husband is hospitalized frequently and it is usually he that "outs" me or it just comes out because I know someone or they remember from a previous visit. I have not ever pushed it on anyone nor do I try to use to intimidate or get preferential t...

I still remember my orientation for nursing school when the program director said that "many of you have been straight A students and as nursing students you will become B/C students because you will have to learn to think completely different then y...

It truly just comes down to what your HR Dept decides at that time. I've seen people leave 6 months in and not have to pay back a dime and others leave at a year and have to pay back their prorated amount. I believe when the time comes if the hospi...

There are things such as the hand sanitizer that can cause false positives and many unreliabilities with this test that are coming to light. There is a SAMHSA bulletin regarding this and many studies in place regarding different issues that have ris...

I'm not sure how this much will help answer your specific question, but here is what I can tell you. ..... Every school has different rules and there may be some ways to raise your overall gpa based on the rules of your school, but your cumulative gp...

1. I agree with the previous poster that if you had no feedback regarding this issue at any point in the semester until the last week that you should begin with your classroom instructor and work your way up the chain of command to ensure that there ...

You are very welcome! I wish you all the best and I'm sure you will make a great nurse!

Thanks Tasha92337! I look forward to hearing about your success!

There is an association with a website dedicated to nurses that work primarily with HIV patients, but they also dedicate their time to nurses with HIV. There is absolutely no reason why your status would preclude you from nursing school or the profe...

You're very welcome. I think it's great that you are so excited to get into the program and am happy to help you! I've been in the medical field for ten years and a RN for four years. I worked in home health for more than half of that time includin...

For letters the rule is you use a comma after the salutation in personal correspondence and a colon in businesses or professional correspondence. Dear Uncle John, Dear Sir or Madam: Professor Smith: Dear Mr. Smith, (if a personal letter) Dear Mr. Sm...

You are very welcome! Good luck!

Also, I realized I don't read your first response. ...for the area maps shaped like a triangle without knowing what x they wanted you to solve for I would assume you would need to apply the formula A= 1/2bh (area equals one half times base times hei...

Glad you are having some success with your practice tests. I know the time issue adds extra pressure, but try to focus on the problems instead of the time. ... easier said then done lol. Here are a few things that may help refresh your memory on s...

I know the LPN school in our area uses the TABE test for the general education testing. Whatever your test is Google free practice tests for that test name and do as many practice questions as you can. Math problems you don't understand try looking...

I'm sorry to hear that, I wasn't really thinking about how much things vary from one area to another. Where I am in FL home health, private duty, and case management jobs are always hiring and hospitals are hard to get in to. In any event, compa...

I fully understand where you and the other posters are coming from. The one thing I would like to add is the one thing that is great about nursing are the diverse options in how or where to use our skills. I've worked in private duty nursing as wel...

Most of the students from my program tested between 2-6 weeks after graduation. The last poster explained it perfectly. Regarding applying for jobs most new grad positions these days require you to have already completed this process before they wi...

I agree that persistence is key, but I would also keep in mind that human resources doesn't always go the speed we do. Have they even posted the position yet? If not I would wait until mid next week and then give a call to follow up again if you st...

Your very welcome. When I was in a position to hire those are the things I would consider when deciding on someone without specific experience. Also, discuss any specific clinical skills that you are comfortable with that willl cross over. Many of ...

Do you have any personal experience with a special needs child such as a family member or friend? Or any personal experience with children at all, maybe with younger siblings at some point? If so, I would suggest you draw from your personal relatio...

I realize this is an old thread, but asopko if you are still around and working for corporate I would really like to connect with you.
