    Help :(

    Extra Pickles replied to alishaH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know a bunch of people have said this to you on a bunch of threads you posted (me included) but you can't ask a general question like that and get a correct answer, or an answer that will mean...

    Extra Pickles replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Correct grammar IS being taught, it's part of standard curriculums everywhere. Whether the student pays attention and learns is a different thing

    Getting Discouraged

    Extra Pickles replied to Jen51685's topic in General Nursing

    oh ok. then you need to change your User Name as you do not have a BSN and can't use that designation. When you get that degree you can plaster it anywhere you like lol just can't do that

    Help!!!I don't know what to do next

    Extra Pickles replied to porterkate1219's topic in General Students

    None of us can tell you what you should do, aside from telling you that you should talk with your academic advisor. Schools sometimes allow, through an appeals process, readmission to a program. You...

    Pearson Vue Trick

    Extra Pickles replied to spoontime's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your instructor meant that if a valid credit card is submitted and not accepted, that usually means you've passed. That isn't want the person posting this thread said. The person posting said they...

    Extra Pickles replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    I really hope you are not talking to the OP. I hope you are referring instead to the NP-wannabe. The OP, the person who posted this thread deserves our support. The other one, not so

    Extra Pickles replied to agj925's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can apply to the board of nursing for any state in which you want to get a license. You have to meet the requirements of that state, and that will vary a lot. Once you have your application...

    While the word formally is the obvious problem I think it's worth noting that the dead man listed in the obituary wasn't currently living

    Getting Discouraged

    Extra Pickles replied to Jen51685's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand, you have a BSN but are working in accounting? Why? Have you passed the NCLEX and are an RN? If you have a BSN already, what do you mean you are waiting to get into a nursing...

    Career day-toddler class

    Extra Pickles replied to Followingfootsteps's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder who on this Earth came up with the idea of Career Day for toddlers. Honestly, what were they thinking???? Use this as an opportunity to make the babes' visits to their pediatrician less...

    Getting around the 18 y.o requirement

    Extra Pickles replied to npaar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every place I've worked has not allowed students younger than 18 to have any patient care or direct patient care responsibilities such as one would have as a nursing student. It has to do with...

    need help getting into school

    Extra Pickles replied to cynthiaedith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wouldn't the way to start be getting a GED? Look into doing that first. Once you have a high-school diploma or equivalency diploma then you can look to see what college courses you can do or what...

    Is 51 yrs old too old to start LVN school?

    Extra Pickles replied to tperkins740's topic in General Students

    People who try to dissuade you because of time investment and expense tend not to know what LPN programs actually are. Most LPN programs are about a year-long with no prerequisites. How long is the...

    I need some peace of mind

    Extra Pickles replied to Amorenz's topic in General Students

    Number of SATA questions means nothing, could be higher or lower. OP look at it this way, you have the minimum number of questions and they seemed hard. Either you did an awesome job and got through...

    Extra Pickles replied to NursingStudent7777's topic in General Students

    Normal and common practice to have it done on the same arm in the same area. If there is any lasting mark of any kind from the first test it is easy to see what the second test looks like compared to...

    Relocated from NYC to Missouri to be denied a license please help

    Extra Pickles replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    OP whether you think any of these responses is positive or negative is irrelevant. What matters is that everyone is telling the truth, or at least they are telling you what they know to the best of...

    Only charting?

    Extra Pickles replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you did say something! Your questions are perfectly normal and it's important to find out that what you've experienced isn't all that there is to nursing. If you didn't ask you wouldn't have...

    Socks & clogs??? - Help!!

    Extra Pickles replied to LM838's topic in General Nursing

    A nursing school that requires students to wear clogs instead of sturdy shoes or sneakers? Strange. Places I've worked have sometimes not allowed nurses to wear clogs at all because of risk of injury....

    Had one of these years ago, former job. We just changed the settings so you could pretty much expect a bomb to go off before it would turn

    Only charting?

    Extra Pickles replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Then (notice the correct spelling?) why are you not in medical school? It's nice that you hold such a high esteem for physicians, but as you are in school to become a nurse, it looks like you don't...

    Dominican College in NY Weekend ABSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Divalish918's topic in School, College Programs

    I think they are a little misleading in that they are calling a 24-month program Accelerated. Anyone who already has a Bachelor's degree should expect to be able to get a BSN in an accelerated 12...
