  1. You Don't Really Need Chemistry For Nursing, Do You?

    LessValuableNinja replied to smalli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe dual enrollment means OP is getting college credit for them, in which case they will matter to grad school and some employers. The nurse residency programs around here look at GPA, but I am...

  2. Last semester!! :-)Any tips??

    LessValuableNinja replied to Psalm 23's topic in General Students

    If you haven't started looking at nurse residencies, do so now. In most areas, the good ones have closed applications long before

  3. Is my past going to mess up my future?

    LessValuableNinja replied to mooreo7611's topic in Texas Nursing

    Look on the bright side: some others didn't care back then and have DUIs or felonies on their records. That impacts the process more than a poor GPA. So, congratulations on only having a poor GPA!...

  4. confused

    LessValuableNinja replied to JamPoteto5's topic in General Students

    Nope. Just once. You can only take it a second time for extra

  5. Telemetry/Med Surg Residency

    LessValuableNinja replied to rubyrouge's topic in General Nursing

    Telemetry can mean a lot of things. Sometimes it means, "most of our patients belong in an ICU." Sometimes it means, "Anal fistula who has chronic, controlled, asymptomatic afib." It's like a box of...

  6. Program accreditation

    LessValuableNinja replied to girodriguez's topic in General Students

    Here's my perspective. I can't find on the CCNE website the answer to the question of what happens if you graduate and then it's approved by CCNE. However, an RN to BSN degree can be had quickly, and...

  8. Program accreditation

    LessValuableNinja replied to girodriguez's topic in General Students

    Which program? I'm curious enough to do

  9. LPN to RN online

    LessValuableNinja replied to Lishbee's topic in Excelsior College

    There's an entire section devoted to the school. Have you tried looking

  10. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    LessValuableNinja replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to the search box and type "old" and "age." Someone asks some form of this question at least once a week. The short answer is "no." The long answer is also

  11. Hardest class in nursing school

    LessValuableNinja replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I definitely believe that you should not snowboard on the cardiac telemetry

  12. online post MSN PMHNP programs

    LessValuableNinja replied to RNfor918's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A good starting point is the APNA page. They have a list of PMHNP programs. It is horribly outdated (still refers to aprn certs that no longer exist) and half the links are broken, but most of the...

  13. How much training and work in other areas did it take you to get a job as an ER nurse?

    LessValuableNinja replied to laschai's topic in Emergency

    Addition to what PsychNP2Be said: ED nurse residencies are becoming the norm, at least in my area. To be hired into most major EDs, you need either ED experience, or to be accepted into an ED...

  14. Bad driving record

    LessValuableNinja replied to chwcbesteph's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A suspended license will probably not qualify as a good driving record. Just be honest and talk about how it made you reflect and so on. It may or not prevent hiring. If you haven't taken a defensive...

  15. Bundling sciences together?

    LessValuableNinja replied to gpsswartz's topic in General Students

    Depends on you, your school, and the professors. If you get the four most difficult professors in the state, that could be very difficult. Some people like difficult, though. Ratemyprofessor can be a...

  16. Bad at bio and chem love anatomy

    LessValuableNinja replied to marissas_14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will find that nursing school is "not that difficult" in each piece of information, but difficult because of the massive amounts of information. In my undergraduate program, it wasn't very unusual...

  17. Last semester and applying for jobs

    LessValuableNinja replied to Adrienne.Russell's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Former sales guy tip: Sometimes you can google their email and/or name + business and find their direct line. Some also list their phone number on their LinkedIn page, and recruiters are all (the vast...

  18. Last semester and applying for jobs

    LessValuableNinja replied to Adrienne.Russell's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had the same situation, and I think it's common. It's best to contact the recruiter and ask how they want you to respond. My experience was that they told me to answer

  19. HELP! stuck

    LessValuableNinja replied to kittygraamm's topic in General Students

    There are tons of examples online.

  20. Prison nursing vs jail nursing

    LessValuableNinja replied to tanna898's topic in Correctional

    Following because I'm also curious about the answers. I've only done jail, not

  21. When did you apply to the BON?

    LessValuableNinja replied to lyssa_in_mi's topic in General Nursing

    Way ahead of time. NCSBN has guidelines, but it really depends what SBON you are applying

    You won't have any trouble finding programs in Texas. There are a ton. A list of approved RN and LVN programs is available at: Texas Board of Nursing - Education Programs This page also shows pass...

  23. Should i even go back to nursing again?

    LessValuableNinja replied to Lannister123's topic in Nursing Career

    Perhaps it's time to consider options that would be more to your learning style? It doesn't sound like they were willing to teach you, or that they did it in a way you didn't

    LessValuableNinja replied to Tbmingo's topic in Government, Military

  25. Kaplan study question

    LessValuableNinja replied to Beccaz07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan is imperfect. I don't agree with the rationale. However, the point they appear to be trying to make in this case is that all CKD medications should be discussed with a prescriber. While that is...
