  5. Which Mac Air? 11" or 13"

    AnchoredRN replied to Kenna_b's topic in General Students

    13" hands down. It's super light but the screen is big enough where you won't strain and you can have two windows up at once and still be able to read

  7. Calling in treats for unit when home sick?

    AnchoredRN replied to MIRN923's topic in General Nursing

    Not while you're out sick. If you're well enough to be calling in treats then people might question if you're really sick. If you wanted to show appreciation (though I think a nice thank you when you...

    AnchoredRN replied to elenasimona's topic in General Nursing

    I had this happen to me when I took a HS teaching position. I found out the day before the interview but I didn't tell them. I told them once I hit 12 weeks. They were very supportive! Even when I...

  11. AWD vehicle for nurses

    AnchoredRN replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Maine and get where you're coming from. Personally I would wait until you have a paying RN job to get that vehicle. I have a Jeep GC right now and I will be driving 60min one way (30 miles)...

  12. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    AnchoredRN replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    Why do you need someone with you? If you want to withdraw and get away from the program, then why does it matter what she says or thinks of you? You'll never see her again! Grow a pair, face the...

  13. Ethical to take permanent position with plans to leave?

    AnchoredRN replied to hakhama's topic in First Year After Licensure

  14. Ethical to take permanent position with plans to leave?

    AnchoredRN replied to hakhama's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If I were you and you have worked with them before, be upfront with them. Maybe you could work for those 3 months until they can find a permanent replacement. So you'd kind of be a placeholder....

    AnchoredRN replied to steffimiesha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're very welcome! I did half my English BA online and the other half through a satellite campus, so I had to learn the best way to get through online classes. If your classes let you take practice...

  16. Anatomy and physiology online?

    AnchoredRN replied to steffimiesha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both I & II online and loved it. It does take discipline but you have more freedom. What helped me a TON was printing out EVERYTHING that the professor posted so I have it in a binder. Same...

    AnchoredRN replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    AnchoredRN replied to Nikku's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It all depends on where you live. Some places you might make $30 an hour but if the cost of living is high those in a different state making $23 an hour actually make more if their cost of living is a...

    AnchoredRN replied to helpmeimpoor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
