  1. Using care.com to find clients?

    Scottishtape replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in Private Duty

    Try CareSpotter

  2. Employment Prospect in the U.S. and hepatitis B positive status

    Scottishtape replied to ayetoro101's topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago, I was positive for Hep C. I only had it become an issue with one company, so I moved along :) The only solid answer you can get on this is from the company itself. Good

  3. Nursing Informatics to CRNA

    Scottishtape replied to TheBerriGirl's topic in Nursing Career

    Isn't there a debt ceiling with student loans anyways? It would be pretty awful to cap yourself out trying to stave off your current payments, only to find you've screwed yourself out of CRNA school...

  4. Should I Accept?

    Scottishtape replied to chelsie9's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd stay where you are now to get the year of experience and then move to Boise. Good luck and

  5. Should I quit?

    Scottishtape replied to Ldya1492's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like a miserable place to work. I have found that on orientation, things are a lot slower and more boring than when you're on your own - obviously. What you described isn't orientation. It's...

  6. Just finished an interview

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

    It really depends on the facility. I've had a lot of places take my personal information (ss card, license, etc)and then not call back. I think it might be one of those... they like you so they're...

  7. I'm excited right now

    Scottishtape replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors University

    Congratulations!

  8. What are my chances of getting into NIUs program for fall 2016

    Scottishtape replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in School, College Programs

    Nobody here can tell you what your chances are. Apply and see what happens. Good

  9. How Many Points Did You Have?

    Scottishtape replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in LPN to RN

    It depends on who else applies during the cycle you apply. The bar is different each cycle. They take the highest points from the applications received and work down from there. I had a 43 and got an...

  10. Once you work in acute care you can't go back to LTC?

    Scottishtape replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    It's odd, I actually had a very similar situation. I worked LTC for the first year out of nursing school. I got away from it and did nursing in other areas. Once I decided I wanted to go back to LTC,...

  11. Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Scottishtape replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    I'm torn on this one. Morally, I would feel obliged to help. I could never just stand there and watch someone die when I knew there was something I could do to help, BUT with the caveat that I had...

  12. Intermediate Algebra Vs College Algebra

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

    I agree it's subjective. I left intermediate algebra in the upper 90s. It was pretty much a breeze class for me. College algebra, however, was brutal. I was extremely grateful I ended that class with...

  13. How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    Scottishtape replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    The only time I went to the nurse was for yearly screenings. We had the obligatory lice screenings, and the scoliosis screenings. Aside from that, never. My dad was not one to leave work to come get...

  14. How long did you study for the TEAS?

    Scottishtape replied to Salinnax3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have taken it twice. Once 10 years ago before I did my LPN program, and then again this year when I decided to apply for the bridge program. I'm not even going to lie, I didn't study AT ALL for...

  15. If you accepted nursing offer then decline, can you reapply next semester?

    Scottishtape replied to 2bNurseMom17's topic in General Students

    Your best bet would be to speak with one of the nursing admissions counselors to find out exactly how that works at your school. At my school, supposedly, there is a separate person who goes through...

  16. Should I learn martial arts for psych nursing?

    Scottishtape replied to Wanderer RN's topic in Psychiatric

    This. In our facility, we were trained on the MANDT system. It taught us how to deescalate the patients, as well as do take downs if needed. We were also given a specific class dedicated to self...

  17. Can they do this?

    Scottishtape replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    Agreed. Explorereb: Believe it or not, there are many people who actually own up to their mistakes and work to fix said mistakes, then make a plan to ensure those mistakes don't happen

  18. Hitler, an ICU charge nurse, receiving morning report

    Scottishtape replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hitler just said, ".. by throwing me some shade when I give you an

  19. I guess nursing is a no-go (??)

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

    I would note that these boards are a place for people to come and blow off steam when they're frustrated with their professional (and sometimes personal) lives. These are thoughts and feelings that...

  20. ADN-FNP Help!

    Scottishtape replied to mlbrn71's topic in General Nursing

    UCF also offers a NP program that doesn't require a

  21. Single Mom and want to start nursing school

    Scottishtape replied to hazelnut830's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to have at least 15 posts before you can send a PM. She can send you one though

  22. Single Mom and want to start nursing school

    Scottishtape replied to hazelnut830's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I went to nursing school (LPN program), I was a single mom. My daughter was 2 at the time. I went to school Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm, and once clinicals started I had to hit the hospital the...

  23. I need some help with statistics

    Scottishtape replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    Ah, well, flash cards maybe since there's no

  24. I need some help with statistics

    Scottishtape replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    We had a ton of calculations and number crunching in my Stats class. Maybe it varies depending on

  25. I need some help with statistics

    Scottishtape replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm sorry. The only other thought then would be, does your school offer a free math lab with tutoring assistance? I would definitely utilize that as a resource if it's available to
