  1. NIU 2016 Nursing Admissions

    I had a 3.8GPA, a 110 on the Accuplacer (I believe they only require a 75) and only one outstanding prerequisite at the time of application. However, I turned down my seat and decided to prepare for medical school instead. Good Luck!!!
  2. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    I don't think there is a myth that PA's can do more, if anything there's a myth that PA's are inferior to NP'S...Which seems to be perpetuated by some arrogant nurses.
  3. NIU 2016 Nursing Admissions

    The only prereq I have to complete is English 2. I am actually happy I was selected for the Spring and not Fall, as this will give me time to put some things in perspective.
  4. NIU 2016 Nursing Admissions

    I am a transfer student.. I was accepted for the Spring 2017 semester. Date on the letter is March 30th
  5. NCLEX after 9 years

    Looks like it died out about a year ago.
  6. Question from a doc on NP education

    It needs to be a standard across the board. Online schools with flimsy clinical requirements should not be tolerated.
  7. coming soon to a hospital near you

    Too funny!
  8. NIU 2016 Nursing Admissions

    How is Dekalb, Il ?
  9. I'm not a babysitter!!!!

    Oh wow, are these types of situations common?
  10. Another reason unions suck!

    Fair? Is what you pay to ride a bus. I don't expect fairness from profit-driven corporations and seeking such is why a lot of nurses are in the position that they're in. Furthermore, I've never worked a job because I needed to, so I don't fear being...
  11. Another reason unions suck!

    You don't need a union to negotiate, bargain or to ask for what you want. He may not get it, or he just may :) either the way, you don't know until you ask.
  12. Confronted about charting at patient's school

    Why is the school assuming that you are writing about things other than nursing? Something just doesn't seem right. Were they recently sued,lol ?
  13. Another reason unions suck!

    It's your career, your life and the decisions you make should be about YOU. Nursing is a business! Hospitals, nursing homes, etc will always look out for their best interests and you should look out for yours as well. Some people will say it's unfair...
  14. Confronted about charting at patient's school

    The school is F.O.S
  15. African American patients - a cultural question

    I don't think personality traits have anything to do with race. However, there is another common denominator.
  16. Home births gone wrong

    Curious to know how home births are safer than hospital births?
  17. If I can't get to work safely then I'm not going, as my safety is also important. Sorry, I'm not going to risk my life trying to clock in.
  18. I agree! It's not right! If she legitimately could not get to work because of the weather then she should be allowed to use her PTO. The reason why hospitals get away with crap like this is because nurses don't seem to stick for themselves. Just see...
  19. Can a Criminal History Stop Me from Being a Nurse?

    Why is it that when someone has a criminal conviction, but goes a long time w/o incident people like to attribute it to luck. Couldn't that also be said for those who don't have a criminal conviction...that luck has prevented them from getting caught...
  20. Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    Can't we say the same thing about being a PA instead? Isn't that also insulting to the PA profession?
  21. Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    How far along are you in the nursing program?
  22. Why Is It So Hard to get a CNA job?? HELP!

    Symphony of Crestwood in Crestwood, IL is hiring. And they do hire newly certified CNA's.
  23. Not getting it as nurses- the view

    Im not sure what you mean. You're basically saying her "Joe" story may not be true. Fabrication is lying. However, I get that you're saying it's just hunch.
  24. Not getting it as nurses- the view

    So all this is over a lie? Wow.
  25. Scrubs with mis-matched colours

    Oh it's great that you're allowed to choose your own color. We had to wear navy blue...no other colors were allowed. Does anyone know why nursing and CNA schools require students to wear scrubs to class?
