1. Do you NEED a study group to get through nursing school?

   FutureMSN replied to Student2017555's topic in Student Assist

   There are pros and cons to both. So always be open. This doesn't have to be an either/or way of life. I've never used a study group before, but my first semester of nursing school I joined one because people told me I NEEDED one. I found pros & ...

2. Not enjoying being a PCT

   FutureMSN replied to OliverElio87's topic in Technicians

   I know the feeling. I'm PCT/nurse student. I've noticed that certain units I love because the RNs work as a team with the PCTs. I dislike the units where they do not. It makes for a longer, harder shift for everyone and it's a shame. I also work a n...

3. Top New Grad Candidate Rejected from New Grad Residency

   FutureMSN replied to WhenInRome's topic in Career Support

   I'm thinking it could've been your attitude at the interview. You probably came off as entitled and you may not align with the values of Dream Hospital. The good thing is, there are other jobs out there.

4. Student Nurse negotiating on pay after graduation.

   FutureMSN replied to V4LGBO's topic in General Students

   Nurses tell each other to not negotiate and then wonder why they're paid so low smh. OP, you're only wanting $1.50 more. Ask for it. The worst they can say is no. But at $18.50/hr, I'd move to a state that pays $10 more on average to start. Higher co...

5. What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

   FutureMSN replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

   Very good for you. I know a nurse whose boyfriend broke up with her while she was in nursing school and conveniently came back on the scene once she graduated and proposed. Could be coincidence; could be well thought out timing. Sharks are out here....

8. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   FutureMSN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   I know a number of RNs who shop constantly and buy luxury cars etc. Then when they became NPs they traveled several times per quarter. Nurses buy luxury items all the time. Some have families and some don't. When I graduate, my focus is paying off my...

10. did any of you share your first job offer on Facebook?

    FutureMSN replied to mixtapern's topic in General Nursing

    My future first nurse job will be in the age of social media. People do it all the time. I don't share any specifics about work or school. I don't let anyone from the web have an opportunity to mess up my money or an academic goal I'm seeking. I tell...

11. Congrats to all Fall RN 2016 Cohorts!

    FutureMSN replied to FutureMSN's topic in Illinois

    Thank you! I was not notified of my ranking score (like 1st or 2nd...) but you can count your scores from your pre-req grades on your own. A is 3 pts, B is 2 pts, and C is 1 pt for your pre-req sciences. I got As and one C for all of my pre-reqs. I ...

12. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    FutureMSN replied to Sykadia's topic in Men

    From what I've seen, female nurses can automatically assume that male nurses are gay. This is unprofessional and inappropriate for them to do. I've met male healthcare workers who have been concerned of the female nurses thinking that way about them...

13. NP/Crna vs MD

    FutureMSN replied to FutureNurseKelvin's topic in General Nursing

    I say it all depends on how much of a life you want during these years, if you want to bring in an income during these years, and what you're okay with if you don't make that final goal-which is doable. I went through the same thoughts. I was PharmD...

    This past Saturday, I just received my acceptance letter into the RN program at Moraine Valley CC. I'm so excited. I screamed and cried lol. Studying for TEAS, taking pre-reqs, and deciding on schools to apply to (and which pre-reqa they needed) dro...

    I started my prereqs this past spring. I'm 34 and will be 35 next month. I'm on the fence as to finishing my prereqs this fall or spread it out for next spring. Everyone in my courses who have A/Bs in the classes including me have went from full time...
