    Will my gpa affect my overall teas score?

    Sour Lemon replied to Ayumini's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school has different admission criteria. You need to look at the school(s) you're interested in and see what their specific criteria

    Why so many negative nurses in the field?

    Has Anybody Transitioned from Certified Medical Assistant to LPN?

    Sour Lemon replied to MsNewNew4u's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been an MA, but the students in my RN program who had been did have one advantage. They were comfortable working with patients. Beyond that (and taking vital signs), the skill-set seemed...

    Worst day ever!

    Sour Lemon replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Hopefully no one will take notice, it will blow over, and you'll learn something from it. I don't see anything you can do about it besides wait and hope,

    How hard is it to get your first nursing job?

    Sour Lemon replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    The question you're asking is a bit of a "hot topic". Use the search function (top right corner) and you'll find very spirited answers on both sides. It's not something I would do ...especially with a...

    Sour Lemon replied to RNMonkey's topic in School, College Programs

    If you qualify to join the military, that might be an option? Otherwise, it seems like a logistical

    RN license for California

    Sour Lemon replied to aeverett's topic in General Nursing

    You can call, but most people who try to call don't get through. People have the most luck showing up in person. Their site even warns of further delays if you contact them before the expected...

    RN license for California

    Sour Lemon replied to aeverett's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully, it will be soon ...but your failure to send all required transcripts in the beginning may have actually set you way back. 10-12 weeks from the time your application is completed is normal....

    Hcc ADN Spring 2018

    Sour Lemon replied to mairafir's topic in School, College Programs

    "Alternate" means that you didn't make the cut. If some students who were accepted decide not to attend or can't attend (no tuition money, failed a drug test, etc.), then you (or another alternate)...

    I'm Quitting nursing to work in coffee shop

    Sour Lemon replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    The coffee market seems way over-saturated, to me ...a setting sun. I also perceive people who sit around in coffee shops as selfie-taking types. I would not be able to cope, but I do wish you

    How hard is it to get your first nursing job?

    Sour Lemon replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    An MSN for an entry level position is of little to no value. As far as how difficult it is to find work, that depends on how flexible you are. If you're willing to work anywhere and do anything,...

    Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    Sour Lemon replied to Dformola's topic in General Nursing

    Me too. I guess it's easy to see the grass as greener elsewhere, but if elsewhere was such I dream, I would have done that,

    Child Life Specialist vs Pediatric RN

    Sour Lemon replied to futurern118's topic in General Students

    Child Life Specialist is probably one of least secure and most competitive hospital positions out there. And from what I hear, the pay is not great

    Plastic surgeon office Vs. Hospital

    Sour Lemon replied to Kasstg's topic in General Nursing

    The "plum" types of positions you're thinking off may be hard to come by. Most medical offices staff primarily with medical assistants. And the occasional low-stress, no-weekend, no-holiday, nursing...

    Suggestions for direction

    Sour Lemon replied to midgetfeet81's topic in General Nursing

    If pay is not an issue, why not try per diem at the hospital? That's what I do. It allows me a very regular schedule, with very few hours, at a higher hourly rate than I'd get at a clinic. I usually...

    3 Day Phlebotomy Courses - Are they legit?

    MedSpa Nurses...Do Looks Matter?

    Sour Lemon replied to mrm805's topic in General Nursing

    I've never done it, but the nurses I know who have state that it's sales-heavy. I would imagine looks do matter- especially if you have the option of attaching a picture to your application. That's...
