    "The" nursing program could be any of thousands. Mine usually consisted of 20-30 questions, but every program is

    Sour Lemon replied to Kimmie70's topic in General Students

    I've had plenty of calculations tests, but they were specific to my school. Is this some sort of national

    Stressed out new nurse

    Sour Lemon replied to Babynurse1992's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know you well enough (or at all) to know what's right for you. Just be aware that leaving your first job right after orientation won't look so great to potential employers. Apply at various...

    BA degree in Psychology but want to get into Nursing

    Sour Lemon replied to S_S90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not possible to get an initial nursing degree online. As for requirements, you should check out a few programs you may be interested in and see what their requirements are. Most have lots of...

    Having issues with being a "babyfaced" nurse.

    Sour Lemon replied to Ash2016's topic in General Nursing

    You say people "bully" you and "cut you down", but I don't see any specific examples. In any case, looking young is marvelous. I'm finally starting to noticeably age now that I've reached past 40 and...

    Embarrassing question

    Sour Lemon replied to SEP3000's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered asking your BON? Most have "morality" requirements, but what that means can be interpreted in 1000 ways by 1000 people. Go straight to the source. Whether allowed, or not, use...

    Premed or nursing?

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

    You may want to visit student doctor network (if you haven't already) to see how realistic medical school might be for you. It's unlikely that a stranger could predict how much is "too much" for you,...

    To educate or not

    Nurse with Felony Charges

    Sour Lemon replied to rebeccam0022's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would definitely use a lawyer, and even then be prepared for possible difficulties. What your crimes were matters. How long ago they were matters. Even if you get into a nursing program, you may not...

    Scary Nurses

    Sour Lemon replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    It's not. They're actually out there. I've come across four in about seven years, so it's not a common occurrence. It does happen, though. We even had one that would leave the hospital to "buy...

    Minority

    Sour Lemon replied to Dion327's topic in General Students

    There's no need to call yourself an "African American nurse" or a "male nurse". You'll simply be a "nurse" when the time comes. Good luck in your

    patient abuse in psychiatric nursing

    Sour Lemon replied to julesjameson3333's topic in General Nursing

    The patients I work with are not abused. It might be worth considering that people who are "forced out" rarely have good things to say about the places they're forced out

    Scary Nurses

    Sour Lemon replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    I've known a few "scary" nurses. One lost her license for something non-nursing related, two got fired (eventually), and one was so scary that she was allowed to continue in whatever way she wanted...

    Drug testing

    What is it about this stuff that makes people wiling to risk everything? Throwing your education and hard work down the drain would make it even more difficult to sleep. It's impossible to predict...

    RN to BSN Interview

    Sour Lemon replied to Lhorn808's topic in General Nursing

    That's a lot for a stranger to write out for the sake of completing your homework assignment. And on an anonymous site, people may be reluctant to give out the name of their school and completion date...

    Sour Lemon replied to nohseungjin's topic in General Nursing

    Don't bypass safety measures, no matter how behind you are or how sure you are about whet you're doing. Don't feel intimidated "bothering" patients with their treatments and medications. Just let...

    I have no experience with this type of situation, but I'd stay come to a full stop right now with the marijuana. I've read and heard that the CA BON is very slow when it comes to responding to...

    I blew off studying, went to Disneyland instead, and still passed on the first try. Maybe I should write one of these, too? I have no idea what I ate for breakfast, what kind of snacks I had, or how...

    WGU Pre Licensure- no prior degree

    Sour Lemon replied to emilyjay's topic in Western Governors University

    Why would you need a prior degree? A Prelicensure BSN program is for people who are not already RNs. The alternative would be a ASN to BSN program for people who are already Registered Nurses, but...

    That's very unorganized and difficult to read. Breaking it up into paragraphs might help you get more responses. Anyway, the two main issues (from what I can tell) are capability and cost. I don't...
