  1. applying to nursing programs with low gpa

    Buyer beware replied to angiedee123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes this sounds right. Today as opposed to olden times it is challenging to find the right balance between school quality and affordability. To give some historical perspective, in the past nursing...

  2. Pre req

    Buyer beware replied to kattyg59's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Katty. Are you new to academia? If you are, why rush this thing by even taking two courses at a time? You are already working full time so why kill yourself. The one at a time approach will help you...

  3. Nursing School Debt

    Buyer beware replied to Cwcox01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will cut to the chase. 80K in student loan debt will ruin your life. Lets say you go to nursing school and come out with 80k in loans at 3.4%. Do the math. You'll be a humping nurse not a brain...

  5. Galen - Louisville, KY

    Buyer beware replied to Chelle_nc7's topic in General Students

    Chelle, Two things about Galen. One is that they are kind of expensive. Two is that they tend to stalk you all over the internet if you just look at them. So they do not play hard to get at all....

  6. post masters FNP online recommendations?

    Buyer beware replied to beth8881's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You might not want to consider South University online for your NP. They have a graduation rate of 2% as published on (collegescorecard.ed.gov). The for-profits tried to suppress this informative...

  7. Failed first semester

    Buyer beware replied to Nurhope's topic in General Students

    @Nurhope. What school are you attending?The answer to this question will figure into what your next step may be. Perhaps you need remediation in some areas and the school threw you to the sharks...

  8. better future opportunities as NP or CM?

    Buyer beware replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, I think whatever you do you'll have to work full time with the patient demographic in some capacity to pay the NP school loans back. There's just no way out of that reality. So...

  10. Any Kaplan FNP students?

    Buyer beware replied to thankful2banurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi Debbie, I did a few simple calculations based on the numbers you quoted or were quoted to you. It works out to around $625.00 per credit hour and this is probably the going rate for graduate NP...

  11. Union bias/discrimination.

    Buyer beware replied to Caring professional's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I think there's a need for clarification about the situation you find yourself in. I will say this about unions. They have done a pretty good job in getting nurses where they exist appreciable...

    Yes, lots of rest. Plenty of hydration. Strict adherence to the food groups. Durable Power of attorney. Health care surrogate. And, of course, last will and testement. And I almost forgot, prepaid...

  13. Terminated after giving resignation notice

    Buyer beware replied to rn0817's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is called being vindictive on your nurse manager's part. At your previous job level/grade of employment, 2 weeks is the standard amount of proper heave-ho time unless there's some hospital policy...

    Buyer beware replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    That may be because you're located in some woodsy area that may not have quite the glamour of a place like say, downtown

  15. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    Buyer beware replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and those shortage (allocation) problems are usually located in the garden capitals of the U.S. like East L.A., Downtown Baltimore or possibly even rural Kentucky. (cue banjo

  17. What do I do if I don't get into a nursing school?

    Buyer beware replied to Lk1999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If community colleges are out of the question I think I may know who may be behind this point of view. One can only guess at which for-profit may be lurking. Probably one of the cookie sponsors that...

  18. Can't apply to Chamberlain just yet

    Buyer beware replied to NesIam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like Chamberlain is giving you good advice to stay in community college and get your prerequisites as cheaply as possible. I think you should know, and I don't mean to offend or hurt you in...

  20. Whistle blower/terminated

    Buyer beware replied to CaliGena's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OP: I'm not sure what identifying details you posted prior to reading your post that may have benn expunged by the moderators, but as the post stands now it appears generic enough and as such I don't...

  21. Quitting while on maternity leave

    Buyer beware replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

    OP: This approach or technique or good idea is the oldest trick in the book. I think Hitler's then wife Brunhilde may have used it in the olden days of nursing. But seriously, find out from HR what...

  22. Forgetting to chart?

    Buyer beware replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    OP: In matters such as this it's always best to look at things in perspective. Was the auditor right there asking where was the weight on this newly admiitted, fluid restricted CHF patient? If so,...

  23. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    Buyer beware replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    OP: There hasn't been an honest answer to this question in at least the 30 years that I've been behind the stick. Always a nursing shortage never a nursing glut despite the constant importation of...

  25. I'm a Man, Can I be Successful as An OB Nurse

    Buyer beware replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I will say this and I mean no offense to my brothers in nursing who happen to be gay. And I will admit that maybe even my perview is limited in this regard. But I don't believe I have ever seen a male...
