    Legalities in Flight Emergencies

    Sour Lemon replied to MNRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't watched the video, but my interpretation of what you wrote is: Do - Come forward, give your credentials, and state ways you might be able to help, "I'm a new nurse. I have no critical care...

    How do I deal with clinical sites treating students like garbage?

    Sour Lemon replied to PaulicusFrumkinius's topic in General Students

    It sounds like a place with limited space, and quite possibly "issues" in the past with nursing students. Even with no students around, our station can get so full that working nurses have no place to...

    CA bvnpt processing time

    Sour Lemon replied to Rerat59's topic in General Nursing

    True, but on the bright side you get to skip actually going to nursing school. It seems like it would take less time and be less complicated to just go,

    Getting Frustrated with Nor Cal/SF Bay Area Lack of School Options

    Sour Lemon replied to NurseKayeBSNtoMSN's topic in General Students

    If I had to guess, I'd say the cost of real estate is too high. A closer school might be more convenient, but how many "working adults" could afford to attend after property costs were worked into the...

    CA bvnpt processing time

    Sour Lemon replied to Rerat59's topic in General Nursing

    California actually has a separate BON for RNs. The one that handles LVNs (BVNPT) seems to be a little faster. A 26 week wait time means you're doing the equivalency method, right? Have you tried to...

    Sour Lemon replied to vishnu10003's topic in General Nursing

    I think your best bet would be to get back into rehab, get some current experience, and then look to transition. The absence is not a huge issue, and moving to acute care is not a huge thing ...but...

    Being paid $2-$3 an hour to sit by the phone just doesn't do it for me. I'm either working for my full pay, or I'm doing something I

    Sour Lemon replied to vishnu10003's topic in General Nursing

    You could just buy a med/surg book and read it ...but I'm not sure you need to unless your two years of experience were spent hopping around confused. That should have created a pretty stable...

    LPN SCHOOL HELP

    Sour Lemon replied to addien's topic in General Students

    That sucks, but after four years I can't imagine there's any chance you'll change their minds. My nursing program required a HESI exam to graduate. I know one girl who failed it three times, but they...

    LPN to RN online

    Sour Lemon replied to xxsushe15xx's topic in School, College Programs

    I've never heard of an LPN being able to take NCLEX RN just because they've been an LPN for a long time. You have to actually go to (and graduate from) RN

    What are my options?

    Sour Lemon replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should really ask representatives of the programs you're interested in how to boost your chances. Every school is different, so what helps one person get into one program might be a colossal waste...

    Sour Lemon replied to Tiffany93's topic in General Nursing

    Get experience. I think I would have started in med/surg or tele if I wanted to move forward to ICU. Some people start off in ICU and thrive, though. I studied for NCLEX by going to nursing school for...
