    Affording Nursing School

    Sour Lemon replied to Courtney5245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Grants and loans can be used to pay bills, as well. The best way for you, personally, to handle your finances depends on your individual

    Sour Lemon replied to Anaica789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My answer is YES ...or maybe NO ...I guess it depends on what you're trying to get accepted

    How to address 10 year absence and other ?

    Sour Lemon replied to Cricket183's topic in General Nursing

    It looks like you've been thinking and asking about this for quite a while. There's probably no "perfect" way to do it ...just get out there and do something. Adjust your approach as you go along,...

    Your location is of number one importance ...unless you're willing to move absolutely

    Resume after quitting.

    Sour Lemon replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't add it to a resume, but you might be required to list all jobs held on the actual employment application. I'm not sure I'd risk lying about it (by omission), and I certainly wouldn't launch...

    5 things would have detered nurse from killing

    Sour Lemon replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    What I gather from this article is that she loves to hear herself talk. In some cases, just not giving these people an audience or "fame" would probably deter

    Skin condition

    Sour Lemon replied to Mkw2018's topic in Infectious Disease

    The internet is no place to diagnose a skin condition. As some skin conditions can be quite serious, she should probably see a doctor sooner rather than

    ADN vs ABSN in San Diego area

    Sour Lemon replied to Guest1091889's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Southern California is saturated with new graduates, so the higher degree would probably be more beneficial if you want to stay in that area. What kind of nursing you'd like to get into also makes a...

    Reaching out to potential hospitals while still in school

    Sour Lemon replied to KaylaRM's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think that's probably way too soon in most cases. Would you want to hire someone who might graduate in a year, might pass boards sometime after that, and might still want the job? I wouldn't. You...

    Sour Lemon replied to 1fly's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You'd have to check with each individual board, but they each seem very interested in things like this. I doubt you could just hop over a few states and carry on as if nothing had ever

    Staffing

    Sour Lemon replied to Pam3yrs's topic in General Nursing

    The sad reality is that people see nursing homes as places old people go to die and they're funded accordingly. There are very nice places out there, but you've got to plan well and be financially...

    LPNs in the ER

    Sour Lemon replied to amandab13's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This varies greatly from state to state. In Texas LVNs could do quite a bit. In California they are very

    Sour Lemon replied to Newnursejm's topic in General Nursing

    This depends entirely on your employer. Some love to stamp "DENIED" on everything and some are quite

    Personal Illness - Reason for Nursing

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

    I think it's more than fine considering your illness is manageable and doesn't affect your scholastic or work ability. I'd only advise that you make everything sound very positive. Don't talk about...

    help!? Which job do I take?

    Sour Lemon replied to KJRNBSN921's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    If you've always been interested in a higher acuity, it makes sense to go with the tele position ...that's assuming all else is equal. I'd rather be "stuck" in a good place than have "opportunity" in...

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

    Most hard sciences require a lab which can make one class feel like two classes. Anatomy, chemistry, and microbiology are three that come to

    a & p & english 101

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

    If these are people who know you personally, you might do well to consider their advice. I'm not sure what English 101 is. If it's similar to English Composition I, it may involve writing several...

    New Grad RN in Hawaii?

    Sour Lemon replied to Zil888's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to visit Hawaii, but I would hate to have to find a job there. There is a Hawaii section of the site. I think you'll be creating quite a challenge for yourself by moving

    Sour Lemon replied to turtle14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most people pass on their first try and a lot of people who pass feel like they failed. It' not over yet! Wait for your results. Good luck. I hope your premonition is

    high school student aspiring to become a nurse

    Sour Lemon replied to ianwalsh15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every nursing school has different criteria, so no one will be able to give good answers to your questions ...but most nursing programs require college prerequisites to be taken before their nursing...

    Peer to Peer Review/Feedback

    Sour Lemon replied to blc00's topic in General Nursing

    Even in situations where only positive comments are allowed, this type of thing doesn't go well. I can only imagine what a train wreck it's going to be with negative

    CNA: Stuck between great Nursing Home job offer, and Hospital potential offer.

    Sour Lemon replied to ferminm94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know if you've gone to your interview yet, but if you haven't, I would advise that you not mention any of that drama. I would also focus less on your "maleness". Just be a CNA, not a male or...

    PDN... did I commit career suicide

    Sour Lemon replied to AshAveAinRhy's topic in Nursing Career

    Nurse residency programs are typically reserved for new graduates. If you're not accepted to one, you might be able to negotiate for a longer orientation due to your change in specialty,

    Question about getting a license endorsement for another state

    Sour Lemon replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    You can have a license in both states. I had one in Texas and California for a while. A license cannot be transferred. Employers won't care which states you're licensed in as long as you're licensed...
