   How can I succeed as a new grad RN?

   Preemie 2 RN replied to decotes's topic in NICU

   Just thought I'd bump this thread as we are always having new grads starting in the NICU :) I have read this thread before, and even posted in it a few years ago. I still haven't landed a NICU job but I am still trying my hardest and will never give...

   Brookhaven College Nursing Program Fall 2014

   Preemie 2 RN replied to mydreamistofly's topic in Texas

   It most likely will be at Methodist Dallas. I had most of my clinicals there. I bought a rollie bag and then never used it. I usually ended up just bringing the textbook for the class and a notebook to take notes on. 1st semester I did print off the...

    I work for a DFW pediatric private duty/home health agency and am a new grad. I make $25/hr for a very basic case. If I were to care for a trach/vent pt (after receiving trach/vent training) I would be paid more. I am happy with my case and pay thoug...

    You do not get to pick anything. They will email you sometime over the next few weeks with your schedule and with that you will register for the class sections they tell you to. Just try and relax right now and enjoy your summer :-)
