You have to actually put in legitimate credit card info then submit. You get an actual charge or insufficient funds message = you failed. You get the old message saying "you have already scheduled blah blah blah" = you passed.

So I'm applying for a new grad job with VCU Health Systems. It has an optional field to paste in a resume and another for cover letter. Should I go ahead and create one? Or just leave it be? I already entered my entire employment history, professional organizations, etc, on other pages. Like I said, its marked optional, but sometimes "optional" doesn't mean optional. OTOH, I dont have a resume or cover letter typed up.

Yes you need both. Applying for a job without a resume (especially in a professional field) requires a resume. A cover letter just shows that you are putting forth the effort of writing one because you are interested in that particular job.

You get the old message saying "you have already scheduled blah blah blah" = you passed. Yeah, exactly. I had to enter my cc info and hit submit (scary -- it really looked like it was going to charge me!) but then I got an error message saying I already scheduled. I've yet to hear confirmation of this trick from someone who failed, though. NCLEX has a pretty high pass rate (I don't know of any classmates who failed) and I wonder if Pearson's changes last year were meant to address this and if everyone now gets an error message for the first 48 hours after taking the test or something. Anyway, I passed!!

You need at least one token dude on each shift to help with boosts, reach things on the top shelf in the equipment room, and to take a punch from the M1 holds. But seriously, not saying it should be that way, but in my experience, all other things being equal, male nurses definitely have a bit of an advantage at hiring time. Maybe it's because we're still a novelty, maybe it's the patriarchy, I just don't know.

So the nursing order in my province just announced that the pass rate of the english licensing exam was of approximately 48% versus 79% on the French version. I pray that they hire a competent translator before I write mine next September, cause right now the English media is probably about to poo poo itself.

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:So, just started my ASN/ADN program yesterday. It's at a private institution which isn't ideal but I'm really not complaining at all. It's an accelerated program and I have to do all the sciences You got in so they think that you can make it. You have to study as much as it takes to pass. For some of us this is 3-5 hours per day some not. You really need to re align your study habits with your goals. I was a lovely terrible student before nursing school and now I am over a 3.0 because I put in the time. Make a study group and carve out times each day that are dedicated to no nonsense studying.

(already did anatomy but 5 year limit, bleh) luckily I have all the gen ed poo poo knocked out. Only went there once thus far but I actually quite like it a lot more than I thought I would. Teachers are nice and surprisingly passionate.

Blargh, I'm stuck waiting for my instructors to get back to me about whether they are interested in giving me a clinical reference for my job application. I need 5 professional references, 3 of which need to be supervisors or clinical instructors. I'm sure I can get enough, I'm just eager to get on to the next step of the application/interview process, which can't proceed until I get the references...

djfooboo posted:This semester is going to be brutal. Third week and I already am stressing like it's finals week For my program, which is a 2 year ADN, the worst semester is the 3rd by far. We had so much poo poo going on from day one, it was absurd. This semester I looked at the calendar and was like "nothing but the occasional 1 day clinical until April, HOT drat!!" Of course, in april I get to drive an hour and a half one way to my clinical site twice per week, 6:15am to 3:30pm

3rd semester was also the most brutal for my BSN program. 4th is apparently two classes crammed into 8 weeks, then 6 weeks of only practicum, so I think I can deal.

This is 4th Nursing (6th overall), It's Med Surg 2, Psych, and Research. My other semesters there has always been that one class with a lot of assignments, but this semester all 3 classes and their associated practicums have assloads of assignments and presentations.

See my program has like 2 years of pre-reqs so its kinda silly that its a 2 year degree  But the program itself is divided into 4 "core" classes, (NUR 111,112,216, and 217) one per semester, with additional classes throughout (NUR 100, 226, 245, 254 and Pharmacology which for whatever reason isnt an NUR class)

Haha, I've got a Facebook style "it's complicated" relationship with a girl in my class. We tried dating, but dating during nursing school is an exercise in frustration. So now we're just friends who go out to lunch/dinner once in a while, and I make her lunch every clinical day. So yeah. Actually that whole thing is kind of confusing. E: I graduate in May

I am a drat good cook if I do say so myself. I've done chicken parm, falafel, coq au vin, and a variety of epic sandwiches, usually with some sort of homemade sauce/dressing. I made us roast turkey with stuffing and cranberry horseradish sauce for our clinical the day before Thanksgiving
