    Where are pregnant women working?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to SP1019's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm pregnant and now on leave. Not an ideal situation, but my employer could not guarantee no exposure, they did try to place me elsewhere, but still couldn't guarantee no exposure even there. In...

    Looking to get in with Dignity Health as a new grad, any tips?

    MiladyMalarkey posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey there, I'm looking to get into Dignity facility, St. Joes preferably. It doesn't look like they do new grad programs, just was wondering if anyone out there working for Dignity or Joes has any...

    I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'd just think of it this way...imagine yourself 10+ years down the road, you're a veteran nurse & you notice the new grad on your unit is either doing something wrong or in a way that could be...

    2 year waiting list?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Sccm24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went with the MCCD/Ottawa route. At my time then, NAU & Ottawa were the cheapest and you graduated with both degrees the same semester. NAU had more pre-reqs I wouldve had to take, where Ottawa...

    Need some encouragement

    MiladyMalarkey replied to josiahtorres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered trying to start off at a community college and perhaps trying to transfer to SDSU once your pre-reqs are done? Saves you $ and gives you time to work out or find yourself,...

    Considering going for MSN in Administration

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Jena Bauer's topic in General Students

    Do you actually want to do bedside work, get that experience? Just curious if you went into your ADN wanting to be a bedside nurse (first or at all) or looking to go straight to a desk

    Any advice if your boss (an RN manager) isn't willing to work with your school schedule?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    First thing you need to do is actually find out what YOUR schedule will be, dont base things off of other AllNurses schedules. Things can and often do change. Second just ask. If it's a no, it's a no...

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Monique Brantley's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm already a graduate from GCC & an ASU alum(for my first non-nursing degree). I went with Ottawa for my CEP & can not say enough good things...including the lower price & graduating same...

    2 year waiting list?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Sccm24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Work on CEP pre-reqs which I believe it sounds like you're doing. As I'm sure you know by now CEP people aren't wait listed, just apply each round. Obviously once HESI is done, apply immediately for...

    Clinical

    MiladyMalarkey replied to nursingstudent501235's topic in General Students

    Eh, the instructor, unless having a off day sounds like they may be a little off base. Your first day at hospital ever, course you'll be awkward, unsure, all thumbs, etc. Instructor perhaps could...

    I HATE nursing school. Now what?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to namaB's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you just don't like your school or their methods, and maybe rightfully so, it could be crap. But if you leave clinical intrigued, why then do you just wanna quit? You're almost done,...

    Student nurse here. Am i going to be a bad nurse??

    MiladyMalarkey replied to mrnurse543210's topic in General Nursing

    Omg, as I am now learning as a new grad just on the floor...I can now confidently say you are NOT even going to be close to being floor ready right out the gate when you graduate. That's why we have...

    Puppy??

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Ashley Mansell's topic in General Students

    I'd wait. It's not just getting a puppy, it's also having to train it, bond with it, emotionally care for it,

    Possibly quitting nursing school to instead be a PCT/LVN

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Fernanda27's topic in General Students

    Food for thought, LPN programs are almost exactly the same as the first year of RN program, LPNs I believe just do a little extra to cover some topics RNs dont till further along. So the rigor of LPN...

    Feeling like leaving my accelerated program *long

    MiladyMalarkey replied to notsureaboutanything's topic in General Students

    Have you sunk finances into this endeavor, meaning have you taken out loans & how much? It's unclear, are you already in this for profit ABSN program already...how much $ is invested in it already...

    Bad idea to quit after 6m as a new grad for DNP school?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Theanxiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, legit not trying to be a jerk. But, honestly ask yourself, would you want a new NP with only 6 months actual nursing experience caring for you or your loved ones, say after some sort of terrible...

    First nursing job is at a nursing home and on my 2nd day I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Anyone else experience this?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I think most of us newbies feel overwhelmed starting out, I do & so do many others I know & many others who are well experienced now have told me "back when" they were too. With that said,...

    BON - Pending Case Review?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to vmoore1990's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    How long did it take you to take NCLEX? Sometimes, if you test what they feel may be too quickly, they'll review your exam & NCLEX footage to make sure there wasn't anything unusual when you took...

    Is Anyone NOT Going to be an APRN?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    I was one of the few in my nursing graduating class who seemed not to have some other aspiration to go beyond bedside nurse. I am also second career, so I've been around the block a bit and perhaps...

    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may also want to also visit a *nursing* academic advisor who can explain to you what going to nursing school actually consists of. It's not just lecture, but required nursing lab, required...

    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly it sounds like you are trying to figure out what you want to do with your academic career. Your GPA for first year at the university is low. I dont know how you are funding school, but if it...

    Mom with 2 very small kiddos when I went through school. All I can say is your family will find a new normal when you get into the thick of it all. It may be a little chaotic to start off with and...

    MiladyMalarkey replied to OrlandoNursing's topic in General Students

    I know a few nurses who failed a semester, retook in same program and graduated after, passed NCLEX no problem and have been nurses for a few to several years, one is even an advanced practice nurse....
