   They can't *ask the reason why you're prescribed a medication but can ask for a copy of your prescription, is what I

2. Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

   EmKayy18 replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

   It genuinely sucks that the politics of it all have to get in the way of someone who truly wants to help people. I knew ageism existed of course, but apparently it's more of a serious issue than I...

3. Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

   EmKayy18 replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

   Very true and something to seriously consider. It's easy for me to forget jobs are harder to come by in some places because where I live (central Florida area) is quite the opposite. Theres a huge...

4. Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

   EmKayy18 replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

   Wow! What a pessimistic crowd on this thread! Here to offer a different perspective. I watched my dad go through RN school at the age of 45 (ish?). He had an MBA and was successful his whole life,...

5. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

   EmKayy18 replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   It took me so long to finally get where I needed to be to apply (granted I also took two years off school) but totally worth it! Just finished my first semester in the RN program. Focus on getting all...

6. do schools do random drug tests?

   EmKayy18 replied to alinkastar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Yeah, you legally would never be forced to explain anything. They cant for reasons just proof via copy of your script but I highly doubt anyone would question it. Nothing to be ashamed about,...

7. Discrimination Application Question

   EmKayy18 replied to Smill204's topic in General Students

   Have you ever felt affected by ageism? Where someone has treated you differently or downplayed your abilities specifically because you're younger than them? This was an issue for me when I became a...

8. help! please! GRIEVANCE LETTER/APPEALS PROCESS

   EmKayy18 replied to nursingSTU123's topic in General Students

   I know that my program has made it clear from day 1 that there is no such thing as rounding in nursing school. We need a 78% (in both exam and coursework separately) to pass and 77.99999% is failing....

   Thank you SopranoKris, I appreciate your detailed response and well wishes! I will actually be starting my second semester in nursing in January. In my program, our first semester included Intro to...

10. Embarrassed and depressed

    EmKayy18 replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

    In no way should you ever feel like a loser for doing what you have to do in order to better yourself. The ONLY way a guy living with his parents would ever turn me off dating wise, is if he was just...

11. Failed anatomy and low GPA

    EmKayy18 replied to cashpiper's topic in General Students

    I know community college has been presented as an option a few times already on this thread, but I thought it was worth mentioning the possibility of declaring transient status as opposed to...

12. Grade confusion. Help pls.

    EmKayy18 replied to guest935762's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's crazy unprofessional. But at the same time accidents do happen to everyone. Still, I don't see how you could be held remotely responsible for what is clearly his mistake and I'm sure your...
