I don't see why the instructor is evaluating you on heresay.

My school didn't allow you to give meds without an instructor right there to cosign.

Include it but put the dates that it will start and end. Most likely recruiters might not even look at your resume right away so it might still be sitting on their pile of papers at any point in time, even weeks or months down the line. So you want t...

I'm guessing from your post you are in the Cleveland area? The hospitals are definitely competing to find BSN nurses. I know for a fact that at least a few of the major hospitals have goals that state they want a high percentage of their nurses with ...

You need to meet with your profs. Go through your tests question by question and find out what you are doing. Are you changing your answers right to wrong, are you misreading the question, did you not study in a way that will help you with the test? ...

Anyone have any tips or tricks on getting patients to void during a voiding trial? Or even just after several high bladder scans? I would prefer not to IC if there are other ideas.

Why don't you just go into an accelerated BSN program to start with. There are several in the area. Baldwin Wallace, CSU, a few others.

I had already applied and been hired for my position (pending NCLEX passage) before graduation. I graduated, went on a two week vacation to the UK, studied a little for the NCLEX, finally got permission to take the test, passed NCLEX and then started...

Sending you PM!

I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't really study that much in nursing school. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BSN from a very intense accelerated program. Don't let other people make you think that you have to study 24/7. In fact it might be...

Just curious. Does your non-union hospital share pay grades for an RN (BSN) and based on experience and MSN or certifications?

I had a bachelors and a masters in another area. Went into a 12 month accelerated BSN program (it only had 3 prereq classes), no experience working in health care. Graduated this fall and was getting interviews and a job offer before I graduated. I w...

Did anything irregular or strange happen during your testing?

Went to a 12 month accelerated BSN program, started in August 2016 and graduated August 2017. I took the prereqs (AP 1, AP 2 and Micro) in May, June, July 2016, right before I started the program. I had not taken any kind of nursing or anything befor...

Do I get a discount if I provide my own scalpel?

Apply somewhere else. I can imagine if this school is going to give you such a hard time that perhaps as you move along in the nursing program that they would have more issues.

I went to a private school, a little less then $35000 for a 12 months ABSN all inclusive including books, uniform, ACLS, PALS, KAPLAN course, and HESI course. The school has a NCLEX pass rate of 95%

I feel like there are some people are are really extroverted who see introversion as a weakness that needs to be fixed, which it definitely is not.

You have to figure out if you are one of those people who can change their answer and usually end up right or if you change it to incorrect. For me, I usually change from incorrect to correct, but I know others are not that way. To thine own self be ...

Find something you have in common and talk about that.

And as they say in Pre-K.....you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

I did my preceptorship in PACU. You see all kinds of cool patients with different procedures and develop awesome assessment skills. I had docs wanting to show me all kinds of things and took the time to explain alot like how exactly he was doing a ne...

It sounds like you need to figure out your priorities. You need to get your own things in order before taking on any other responsibilities.

Have you gotten any feedback from the schools as to why?

The school cannot make a clinical site take you if they don't like what is on your background check. So any school, this one or the next one has the duty to say that based on your criminal history you MAY not be able to complete the required clinical...
