    Kids, Working, and Nursing school?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to MirandaB123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it, but you likely will need help from others. Your spouse will bear the biggest burden of helping and then if you have extended family/friends, from time to time you will have to lean on...

    MiladyMalarkey replied to MiladyMalarkey's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for this advice especially, I think going solo on my own in the beginning is probably going to be one of the more anxious times of the transition & I'll try to keep this mindset as I...

    Apple-Core is right about the points. I'm sure you are already a great student, just keep in mind as the semester nears an end, 1 point very often as A-C said makes a difference between pass &...

    Only you know if it's a good place to work. You made a mistake & have vowed to learn from it & sounds as if they are gonna allow you a second chance. The prison comment is a little over the...

    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    Well I empathized with what could've been a crappy experience for you. But now.... "According to my nursing journals" Well that interview wasn't a "nursing journal" now was it, it was real life, real...

    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    The way I look at it, even if I really want a particular job I applied or interviewed for, I will still cast my net wide and keep applying and interviewing no matter what. My take is, I'm out here...

    Thinking about starting pre-reqs this month.

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

    It depends on the school program you choose. My college was about 2 years pre-reqs & then 2 years of nursing school, so 4 years total. I did a concurrent ADN/BSN program. If you get an ADN,...

    Anyone in Maricopa CEP Program that take/took NUR104AB class?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to potatoz's topic in General Students

    Also kinda weird such a time gap, wonder if your instructor is teaching another class during that time? All our 104AB's were either right before or right after

    MiladyMalarkey replied to potatoz's topic in General Students

    Feeling like I made the wrong decision by getting into nursing

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Rickettsia_typhi's topic in General Students

    I'm betting many people and many a nurse (who like their job) feel the healthcare system is broken or at least could use vast improvements. You are not alone there. Politics and money always get...
