  1. 2.5 GPA and Desire to go for FNP

    Scottishtape replied to JanetFNP2b's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm so sorry. *big

  4. 2.5 GPA and Desire to go for FNP

    Scottishtape replied to JanetFNP2b's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What was the reasoning behind this advice? If you take more coursework, the additional As (hopefully) add to your cumulative GPA, thus raising it. Is this 2.5 only for the pre-reqs? I had a rough...

  5. 2.5 GPA and Desire to go for FNP

    Scottishtape replied to JanetFNP2b's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My advice is to take some more course work to get your GPA up. Any school that will accept you with a 2.5 is not a good school in my opinion. Also, you're not a FNP, so your username should not say...

  6. invalid Hesi question or just tricky

    Scottishtape replied to the-needle-pusher's topic in General Students

    I think it's a legit question. Keep in mind that these tests are not meant to figure it what you would do in specific situations per say. They are designed to see if you actually know the...

  7. Work as a Nurse technician or with my bachelors

    Scottishtape replied to Jonsushi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. PCT experience isn't as powerful as people make it out to be. Plenty of new grads get great jobs post graduation with zero experience in

  8. Financial Aid Help!

    Scottishtape replied to hcurry1's topic in General Students

    Outside of outside scholarships/grants, your only other option is to get some kind of work. I already had an associates when I went into my bridge program, so I couldn't get any loans. I ended up...

  9. Male student nurse long sleeves under scrub top question

    Scottishtape replied to rhoads22's topic in General Students

    We have a guy who has a full armful of tattoos. He got this white sleeve that goes from wrist to shoulder, in the same material that's used for workout gear. Worked like a charm for him. ETA: The...

  10. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    Scottishtape replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Reason I was given was because the doc didn't want to have to go down to the med surf

  11. Need help with HW!

    Scottishtape replied to Nursing_excellence's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're missing humor, because situations like this aren't funny. And, normally burn patients are given

  12. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    Scottishtape replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh. My. Dear.

  13. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    Scottishtape replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Had a patient roll into PCU with a red toe. That was it. No other hx. A red toe, in a PCU bed. MRI done, nothing. Blood cultures, clear. Pt requested to have the toe amputated....AND THEY DID. She...

  14. Care plan for postpartum patient

    Scottishtape replied to Bunny92's topic in General Students

    Consider a psychosocial nursing dx for her admitting. Just becauae she didn't have anything physically wrong, doesn't mean there weren't a hundred different emotional/family related things that were...

  15. How much do you make?

    Scottishtape replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Woah!

  16. Transferring an LPN License

    Scottishtape replied to kristenthenurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I endorsed my license to FL. It was a painless process. Download the application, pay the fee, and wait. Mine only took like 3 weeks to come in. Florida Board of Nursing >> Licensed Practical...

  17. Passed nclex and still no job

    Scottishtape replied to Nicks29's topic in Florida Nursing

    There are a lot of opportunities in Central Florida hospital wise. I already accepted a PCU position at one of the hospitals and I don't graduate until next week. I dont know if relocating closer to...

  18. What is a reasonable starting salary to expect?

    Scottishtape replied to dinobiceps's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yep. This happened to me too, except I went the opposite direction haha. I went from the Midwest to FL and took a pay cut. Womp womp. Now it's better, but it hurt in the

  19. What is a reasonable starting salary to expect?

    Scottishtape replied to dinobiceps's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I live in Orlando. Brand new RN's are at $21-22/hr for the hospitals in Orlando. Since I had the LPN experience, I was privy to the pay scales at different years of experience. One hospital was...

  20. A stye in your eye *semi-vent*

    Scottishtape replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Although I know it would be hard, considering the circumstances, I do think it would be good for you, her, and your unit, if you sat down and talked to her about the situation so you can move on from...

  21. Nurse parents which shift do you like better?

    Scottishtape replied to stehrn816's topic in General Nursing

    I have four kids (1 teenager, 2 in elementary, and 1 in daycare). I've done PRN, full time nights, Mon-Fri, and day 12s. There were aspects of each that really worked for my family, and others that...

  22. Need Help!

    Scottishtape replied to guest716's topic in General Nursing

    My advice: 1. Get a job. 2. Change your username. You cannot call yourself a nurse when you are not, in fact, a nurse. 3. Explore the student forums of this website to see what other people did in...

  23. No Orientation for a Shift?

    Scottishtape replied to Newgurl17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's about right for all the LTCs I've ever worked. I did 7-3 shifts, and there was always a gap for 3-11. They would pull me and have me work 3-11 even though I had never been oriented to that...

  24. Break contract in order to have healthier and safer life?

    Scottishtape replied to nursemama14's topic in General Nursing

    Is your hospital affiliated with any physician offices or home health? My hospital system is, so if I needed to, I could transfer to one of those. Maybe you could transfer within the company that...

    Scottishtape replied to s.wheeler's topic in General Students
