  1. Facility refuses to give raises

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to baygrl11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If there's not some kind of contract related to working for them in exchange for the certification, then you have ZERO obligation to stay there. Businesses do not care about their employees. Don't...

  2. Nurse Practitioner vs Nurse Anesthetist?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to CA_new_grad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need evidence to say that having nursing experience makes NPs better at their jobs? It's basic common sense; with more experience in the medical setting you're going to be a better

  3. Associates in biology

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to ashelly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why get a bachelor's in biology if you know you want to be a nurse? Make sure you take all of your prereqs (A&P 1&2, Micro,

  4. Nurse Practitioner vs Nurse Anesthetist?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to CA_new_grad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if you have the option to go straight into an NP program, many will caution you against this both for your and your patient's sakes. With no experience working as a nurse you're just not going to...

  5. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to BioChic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any good place to work should train you, especially because they'll know you're a new CNA, but never be afraid to ask questions. It's better to ask a """stupid""" question than to do something to harm...

  6. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to BioChic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds like a horrible experience. My CNA class was not run that way at all, and it was also a six week course, similar to yours (with the exception that we actually were in class and clinicals...

  7. What job to get while in nursing school.

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Alicia95's topic in General Students

    Being a CNA is pretty much the best job you can do to prepare you for being a nurse. It is different than being a nurse itself, but you get to be around nurses, see what they do, and even pick their...

  8. Research Proposal Topic

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to nelsheyn050787's topic in General Students

    It's the same thing. Coming up with an idea is part of the research process. Sometimes it's even the hardest part, but coming up with your own ideas is a good way for you to get engaged in the...

  9. How many programs are you applying to?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One. My local

  10. Research Proposal Topic

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to nelsheyn050787's topic in General Students

    Part of the research process is... doing research about topics. Just look more into something that crosses your mind, and you never know if you'll end up really liking the topic, or finding another...

  11. What should I be doing before the NCLEX?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    How long are you going to be studying for the NCLEX? Perhaps if you study for just a few weeks and then pass you could get a job before your residency starts? Also, you might have to lie in order to...

  12. Two Lab Courses at Once

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to miss_xtine's topic in General Students

    Seeing as how you have previous exposure to chemistry, it seems you'll probably have it easier in that class than most people. Should be fine to take

  13. Nursing School Essay

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to samnwill23's topic in General Students

    Definitely agree with Emmjayy, the point of this essay is to sell yourself to the people reading it. You don't want to give them any reason to doubt you being a good applicant. Stick with only...

  14. Got accepted but having doubts on nursing?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    I would suggest using your CNA certification before counting nursing out. Being a CNA is a great way to see what nursing is really like. Why do you think nursing is not for you? Is it just a feeling,...

  15. Respiratory therapy or biology degree

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to akcw1981's topic in General Students

    Generally the hard sciences are not kind to people with only a bachelor's degree. A bachelor's degree in Biology only skims the surface of the entire field of biology. If you stop at a bachelor's...

  16. Post your TEAS scores here!

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to School.RN.forever's topic in General Students

    92%. I took AP Chem and Calculus in high school, so that covered almost everything I was tested

  17. What to do with combative residents?

    Zyprexa_Ho posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not a nurse, but I wonder what a nurse should do for this under some conditions. If the resident is A&Ox3, do you call the police if they are combative? If they are not, do you just try to...

  18. Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be interested in the correlation between people who have become nurses recently with regards to their length of being an RN and the number of BSN nurses. I suspect that there are plenty of nurses...

  19. Loan Max Amount

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to carlra's topic in General Students

    If you're going for an MSN, you should be eligible for Grad PLUS loans which cover the total cost of

  20. What to do during pre-reqs

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to wvickroy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $1600 is a lot to pay for a CNA course. I payed around that, but I was pretty

  21. What to do with combative residents?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    bump....

  22. Repeating classes for better grades?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Quota's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, there are some schools which only consider your highest grade, but even if they are not going to those schools, getting an A in a class that you got a B or C in will raise your GPA a bit, which...

  23. senior practicum & my mental health

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Students

    Perhaps talk to your doctor and the disability advocate at your school to get an

  24. Getting into nursing school

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to masmarcam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A CC can be accredited and the credits still not transfer to another

  25. Mental Health Act- Evil necessity?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to RNewbie15's topic in Psychiatric

    I may be wrong, but I think in the US involuntary admits can refuse treatment unless it is an emergency. Or maybe that's just the case in my particular
