    3rdGenRN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

  5. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    3rdGenRN replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    78%, I don't start until next month though so I don't know if it's got a special averaging rule like the test one

  6. Scholarships for work commitment?

    3rdGenRN replied to notnursezelda's topic in General Students

    3rdGenRN replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    Honestly, I hate to sound like one of "those" students, but I just don't think it's appropriate to schedule students for mandatory meetings during the school break. PLUS I knew way ahead there were...

  10. Holiday Pay-- Anyone else heard of this??

    3rdGenRN replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the OP's frustration is that they are required to work every other holiday and the "holiday shift" that fulfills the requirement is the one that only pays 2hrs holiday...

  18. The best planner/organizer?

    3rdGenRN replied to LPN709's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3rdGenRN replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    Yep I used NV17 and it's still under the 2013 cohort. I don't see how it could be a typo. Maybe the C and the V being next to each other on the keyboard, but 7 & 3 are nowhere near each
