1. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

   SunriseDay posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nurses have an attitude problem. They are catty, cliquey, think they know-it-all, don't care at all what you think (what they say is always right and final), dislike outsiders, newcomers and change, and most of all, rude. I cannot get along with any...

2. Working the same unit you were once hospitalized (psych)

   SunriseDay replied to Ddestiny's topic in General Nursing

   NEVER Disclose. It's NONE of their business, and don't make it their business. Anytime people hear involuntary hospitalization they think "danger to self or others" and/or "gravely disabled." People are afraid of what this means.. it means somebody ...

3. Chem Is Not My Favorite

   SunriseDay replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't like chemistry either, took general chem for science majors, and also got a B... you can still get into programs with that, and for many/most, don't need more chemistry. Organic and biochem is recommended for some programs, though. I've noti...

4. Can I still be an RN if I was in a Mental Hospital?

   SunriseDay replied to pediatricnurse2016's topic in General Students

   Tell NO one. People can complain or report to the BON and it could cause disciplinary action or a required diversion/monitoring program. That could affect your job. In California: Board of Registered Nursing - What is the Diversion Program? On one t...

5. Job Hopper, concerned

   SunriseDay replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in Job Hunt

   I always try to at least do something for 1 year minimum. If I want to do something else or move "up," then I do... Looking at this, 1 year is not very long, but it's also just long enough for a commitment. Maybe apply for other jobs as you wait for ...

6. HESI math

   SunriseDay replied to laura1129's topic in HESI

   What do you mean? I remember I took the HESI on the computer at a test proctoring site at my university. It wasn't on paper. I think most of the answers are selected through multiple choice, but it was 1 1/2 years when I took it, so I would double ch...

7. HESI math

   SunriseDay replied to laura1129's topic in HESI

   My highest score on the HESI was in math and was 94%. I took it Dec '13. I don't think I studied for it... it seemed easier than the TEAS test and I scored slightly higher (I think 84% cumulative). It's nice you can use a calculator for the HESI vs t...

8. Butte College RN Program

   SunriseDay replied to NoelleDavis's topic in California

   I probably will consider applying to Butte's LVN program along with getting on their Butte lottery/waitlist. It typically takes 6 semesters to get into the RN program, and I really should have been on the WL 2 years ago, but didn't apply.. so I am 2 ...

9. Pre-nursing job at a hospital

   SunriseDay replied to mgcampos1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can only think of hospital volunteering... or jobs which will not likely count to improving your chances of being admitted to RN school.

10. Nursing with ocd

    SunriseDay replied to Rnbc1234's topic in Student Assist

    Don't EVER disclose that you were diagnosed with Anything. It can be a life-long death sentence legally, socially, career-wise, and so many other ways. =[ Also, you don't have to agree with what is said to you, unless involuntarily forced, but you ca...

11. I need help. =(

    SunriseDay replied to MissyERnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's good that it is easier. I hope it keeps going well! :)

12. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    SunriseDay replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    I assumed she had talked to him before bc she said "over the year I fell for a medical student"... if she hadn't ever talked to him, just saw him, and messaged, this wouldn't be a good thing and could see how that would put somebody off. Usually you ...

13. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    SunriseDay replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    LOL.. I wouldn't say finding a person on fb and msging them is stalkerish... Otherwise.. I guess I've done it a TON of times! But yeah, as George said, it could be going to the "other" box bc if you aren't friends on facebook, then it goes to that bo...

14. Able To Work Business Hours?

    SunriseDay replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    I didn't know you had car and student loans... but I think student loans can get deferred when you re-enter school? Or am I wrong? There are many federal school loans... I think there's Stafford, Subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans, and some oth...

15. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    SunriseDay replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    Where are these areas? It usually doesn't apply to California public colleges. I'm not surprised by ADNs from O-O-S, but hearing that of state (BSN) programs is surprising. I guess you could get lower grades with an LVN-RN bridge, too... or even an R...
