  1. When did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

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

    This is going to be odd, but I didn't know I wanted to be a nurse until my first set of clinicals in nursing school. I became a CNA only because I was a single mom and in the town I lived in, that was...

  2. How Many Points Did You Have?

    Scottishtape replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in LPN to RN

    The results are in! I was placed on the alternate list for Spring, but guaranteed a spot for Summer!! If I don't get a seat for January, I'm guaranteed to start in May!!! Good luck

  4. New CNA offered a job pening level one background check

    Scottishtape replied to noey86's topic in General Nursing

    Background checks and employment checks are different things. If you have no criminal history, then you'll be fine on passing the background check. If you've been hired dependent on only the...

  5. How Many Points Did You Have?

    Scottishtape replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in LPN to RN

    You'll have to have all your immunizations, physical, CPR (which you have), and we'll have to get the background check redone to the tune of $190. If I get in, I'm going to see if we can get around...

  8. How Many Points Did You Have?

    Scottishtape replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in LPN to RN

    Congratulations on getting in! Thankfully I have all that stuff ready to upload since I had to get it all done for UCF a few semesters

  9. AZ License renewal but living in KS! :(

    Scottishtape replied to joyfulwellrichwise's topic in General Nursing

    We were stationed at Ft. Riley for a few years, and when my license came due for renewal (from MO), I just renewed my MO one and used that on post. They didn't make me get endorsed in KS. I don't...

  10. Nurse Guilt

    Scottishtape replied to Nursemicky's topic in General Nursing

    I had "nurse guilt" when I first started out. I always wondered why I wasn't deeply affected when one of my LTC patients passed away. I was sad, sure, but certainly not affected the way I thought I...

  11. How Many Points Did You Have?

    Scottishtape replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in LPN to RN

    I just got an email from Valencia. I had emailed them a few days back to see if they would confirm whether they had actually received my application (I mailed it in). Anyways, they just emailed saying...

  13. LVN to RN or Psych Tech to RN?

    Scottishtape replied to jelly08's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you need to do some research to really understand the differences between LPNs and RNs, as well as the rigor and requirements associated with each program. LPN programs are not a walk...

  14. LVN to RN or Psych Tech to RN?

    Scottishtape replied to jelly08's topic in General Students

    I'm confused. If you feel you aren't ready for a nursing program, why is an LVN program on your possible to do list as a replacement? That *is* nursing school. You have to do your pre-requs (in most...

  15. How to File a Complaint against BON

    Scottishtape replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is what I was wondering as well. I know with the military moves we had, I had some general mail issues. I wonder if they did try to notify you somehow and it got misdirected? Also, I would be...

  16. Help!!!

    Scottishtape replied to ChrisB718's topic in New York Nursing

    If I'm understanding you properly, it appears as if you don't have many options available. It sucks to have to retake classes (been there done that), but that's what you'll have to do if you want to...

  17. AA vs AS

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

    I don't have any insight on the AA vs AS, but I in your post, you said you saw some people just do the pre-requs and then transfer to University. My advice revolves around that part. I got my AA at a...

  18. Need Advice

    Scottishtape replied to amandapanda2011's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, let me say I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa. I do know what it's like taking care of an elderly sick relative and the stress that can place on you. Secondly, you're stuck for right now. The...

  20. Gift for a nurse.

    Scottishtape replied to wearyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely agree with the giving acknowledgement when it's due! I will say though, I've had 3 different patients have flowers delivered to me at my workplace to thank me and I loved it. I don't get...

  21. Fetal demise

    Scottishtape replied to IamSecond's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a stillborn in 2008. For *me* it was my own personal hell as we'd tried for YEARS to get pregnant with her. Pretty much everything anyone said to me went in one ear and out the other. The only...

  22. I NEED AN ANSWER!

  23. Should I drop A&P I?

    Scottishtape replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad you found out you passed! I still wanted to throw this out there though: When I began my college algebra class, I was really intimidated because math didn't come easy to me. I scored a 42% on...

  25. Am I Too Old to Start School?

    Scottishtape replied to michelegie's topic in General Students

    I definitely don't think you're too old to go back to school. I went to nursing school with a good friend who was 52 when we started. She graduated just fine and has been working as a nurse ever...
