    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    aw I hope you didn't tell her that. would have been nicer to wish her a happy retirement or whatever, let her think you're a real gem instead of maybe feeling stupid for having said

    Is Age A Factor In Hiring A Nurse?

    Extra Pickles replied to lkellett's topic in General Nursing

    You will never hear anyone tell you that they aren't hiring you because you're older than they want to hire, because that's actual discrimination against a protected class, that being age. You will...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    so the answer to the thief wasn't to tell him he should be thankful he isn't being fired for theft of private property, but instead to tell everyone who used the fridge appropriately that they can't...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    by the time I became a nurse I knew to not put anything into the fridge I planned to eat later lol! student days taught me that people will take anything and everything out of a communal fridge,...

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Because she was already an RN with an ADN before she continued on to the BSN and amass a crudton of debt. She didn't go from Not Nurse to Nurse status, she went from ADN RN to BSN RN. With too much...

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that thanks for the info! I have to say it still sounds like an extremely difficult method to getting loans paid off since even what you're describing isn't going to work for most...

    Bad pop out at 150+Q

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

    You don't know what you're doing with that pvt trick but you're crying your eyes out? Nothing pops out at you lol. The trick is that if you put in your credit card details along with all the right...

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I know about this plan and it might not be exactly what you think. First you have to work for a qualifying government agency, not all government work qualifies. If you are not using the Income-Driven...

    Unconventional hair colors

    Extra Pickles replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a 22 year old who rolls her eyes when we see someone who has Muppet colored hair or hairpieces, says it looks ridiculous. Is she an old

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    For me the shock wasn't that it cost her $60,000 for a BSN, it's that she already had an ADN so spent $60,000 for what usually amounts to about a year or so of completer courses. Starting from scratch...

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    If she did she'd be lying to herself, how do you think it's only a year? She has 60,000 in student loans plus interest. If you can afford to pay off about $70,000 in debt in one year by cutting back...

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    She had a four-year degree completed by 19? Remarkable! I see a lot of posts about Philippine graduates having to do extra classes, take more courses because their BSN degrees aren't considered...

    Did not pass NCLEX, can I apply in another state

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

    The test is national so it doesn't matter where you take it, its the same test. If you want to work in a certain state you have to apply to the board of nursing for that state to sit for the exam....

    Anxious about job market

    Extra Pickles replied to julesjameson3333's topic in General Nursing

    What makes you think 2025 is something magical? People have been saying for ten years now that there are too many new grads being pumped out into the workforce than we can comfortably absorb, and...

    Anxious about job market

    Extra Pickles replied to julesjameson3333's topic in General Nursing

    Specialty nurses who have significant experience in specific specialties, yes. New grads, as you've been told, can have a hard time finding work but it really depends hugely on where you are looking...

    I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    probably would be better to compare apples to apples, not Philippine schools to US schools, but it still doesn't have to cost anywhere near what the OP

    This makes me disappointed!

    Extra Pickles replied to Nursein2017's topic in General Students

    does anyone else think this reads like a really cheezy Dime Store novel????? Reminds me of some of that fantasy Letters to the Editor in sex magazines I used to sneak looks at as a kid. None of it...

    Can I challenge the CNA cert after first semester of RN?

    Extra Pickles replied to RainbowHead's topic in General Students

    the question isn't whether you would be wasting your time and money it's why are you trying to get into the CNA program in the first place. If it's to get a job, you can get working long before you...

    Foundations of health professions associates, is it too good to be true?

    Extra Pickles replied to KZ2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    but the plan you've laid out is still a huge waste of time and money. If you want to be a medical coder you don't need this degree you need a certificate, which is going to cost you a lot less money...

    Extra Pickles replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this is costing you so much because you could have gotten that BSN for a bare fraction of that cost if you had come here to ask about it beforehand rather than trying to get out of it...

    I used to not like nurses but I am so grateful for all of you

    Extra Pickles replied to menot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry I don't understand what the person posting this thread was trying to say. Profiling nurses? What do you mean? You didn't like nurses for some reason and didn't say what that reason was,...
