  1. Staff Recognition

    I think most will take an honest thank you over crap they won't use so go with that for now. Maybe help on the floor when it's crazy chaotic? That'll make the biggest impression. Regardless of what...
  2. Ivy tech LPN - RN Transition summer 2016

    We have our orientation towards the end of March, I believe the 24th. However our drug test HAS to be done by 3/1/16. We also had to pay for our background check and register online to submit our PE,...
  3. Ivy tech LPN - RN Transition summer 2016

    I have. What a job ad says, and what employers actually require can be different. I'm not trying to ask for specific employer names, just in general kinda curious how many places in IN are requiring...
  5. Is LinkedIn Necessary?

    I really think it depends on the area. I have gotten quite a few inquiries from HR from a variety of places so I think it'll be helpful if jobs aren't
  6. Culture considerations- pacemaker

    There are certain religions that are against nearly all medical interventions. Look into those as
  7. Failed my TEAS exam

    If you didn't meet the minimum requirements then there is no use in applying. Study what you did poorly on and try taking the TEAS again. Then apply to your school for nursing next
  8. Crushed.... Failed exit exam 2nd time today

    You need to figure out why you are failing. Is it the questions themselves or the pressure freaking you out. You won't pass without figuring out the issue and then correcting the
  9. relationship on the rocks due to NS

    Sounds like he needs to grow up. It's not like you're going to school for 6+ years. If anything it seems like his work schedule is what eats up your time together. I'd stick with school. Either you...

    I was hoping someone else got their letter today.. Then I remembered no mail today.. lol Maybe my campus sent them so early due to their deadlines. My drug screen and payment for my background check...
  14. No prerequisite lvn to RN

    I can fully understand not wanting to spend the $$ or time taking prerequisite course when you are anxious to get your nursing education done with, but I don't know any reputable ADN or BSN program...

  20. More important to lay low or fit in?

    You can be friendly with everyone, without becoming best of friends with any particular person or group. You can be the one to initiate a study group for everyone. Just know that not everyone takes...
  21. The waiting is the hardest part!

    Waiting is tough, but if you get busy enough with life, you won't even think about it. You have quite some time to wait, so either start going hardcore with school, pick up extra shifts at work,...
  22. unfair treatment by professors

    I too had a terrible professor recently. She is a VERY smart person, and a very nice person, however she was not a good professor, not to mention English is not her first language so sometimes she...
  23. Balancing Work and School

    Things aren't going to get an easier once you are in the nursing program. Only you know if you can afford to drop a day of pay. Everyone is different with what they can
  24. Failed General Chem...

    I think I am a fairly intelligent person, and I struggled badly with Chem. I did mine online for 16 weeks. I ended up with a C. A chem class in 4 weeks is insane! The shortest class my school offers...
