   Agreed nurse1959 why would they keep our applications down the last minute if it wasn't some sort of lottery system. But if that's the case why not tell applicants that? On the other hand myself a coworker in my unit and someone else from my hospital...

   shippoRN replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

   Been watching this thread for awhile. I found out that someone from my hospital already got accepted to the program so I don't think I'm getting it. Just wish they would tell me I'm denied and put me out of my misery.

7. Lost my dream job

   shippoRN replied to shippoRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks to everyone for your responses and your support. So if you had told me four and five years ago when I went to nursing school that nursing would change so drastically i would not have believed it. Right now experience doesn't matter anymore. Ho...

8. Lost my dream job

   shippoRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Tomorrow i go back to work after a well deserved vaca, and I dread it. During my break I got to interview with my dream hospital, for a dream position after two years since graduating trying to get an interview at this place I finally landed one. I p...

   shippoRN replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Relations

   what i wish i could say would get me banned from allnurses

10. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    shippoRN replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Not quite sure if you will need a scientific calculator, but i'd say to plan as though you'd need one. Start saving so that when class starts if your professor says you will have to get one you will already have the money to go buy it and if you don'...

    shippoRN replied to shippoRN's topic in New Nurse

    Thanks for the replys, i have friends in other hospitals trying to help me out. All i can do is hope something comes through. It's tough having an associates (or BSN) with no experience in my city. I really appreciate the support, my family doesn't u...

12. First year nightmare...

    shippoRN posted a topic in New Nurse

    I don't know where to begin, I don't like to sound like I'm a complainer especially since things are soooo hard for other new grads out there especially in my state. But my frustration is beyond human limits. After one year of struggling to get a job...

13. New grad fired 2x- now what?!

    shippoRN replied to heartbrokenRN's topic in New Nurse

    Be honest, tell them what happened, don't put the blame on your preceptor nurse, but just give your side of the story and then follow it up with what you learned from it so that you don't make the same mistake twice. You can either rise and meet this...

14. Was it everything...

    shippoRN replied to Adrienne6's topic in New Nurse

    I didn't think i'd be waiting a year to start working in a hospital setting and getting my career started, but it took exactly one year. It was the worst year of my life but i prevailed. I didn't think i'd be spending six months of my job hunt workin...

15. Looking for advice esp. if you are a nurse in the NYC/NJ area

    shippoRN replied to Sadieanne7's topic in New Nurse

    I empathize, I also spent an entire year post graduation looking for a job, I only just got hired to a city hospital last month and began my orientation the other day. I suggest looking at craigslist see if you can get into a clinic, home care or LTC...
