1. Too early to ask about relocation assistance? Being flown in for interview.

   HelloRose posted a topic in New Nurse

   After a phone interview, the hospital is flying me crosscountry so I can have an in person meeting with the manager and do some job shadowing with the nurses on the unit. I have no illusions that this is a sure thing, but the recruiter suggested tha...

2. Parkland Internship June 2012

   HelloRose replied to hnielson37's topic in Texas

   For the residencies, the application is just the one online, right? Am I correct in that there's no way to attach a cover letter? It seems like an awfully light application... How can I make this personal?

3. Anyone needing a job....

   HelloRose replied to mom35's topic in Texas

   I don't know if you'll ever check this again but if you do, could you empty out your Pm box? I'd love to chat with you more about working at the hospital!!

4. parkland critical care and trauma internship

   HelloRose replied to ssamnisk's topic in Texas

   Can you really only apply for one of the internship/residency positions? I'm interested in both OR and ICU but don't want to get myself on the naughty list for applying to both. Also the online application is very spartan. I can't even attach a cover...

5. Mayo Clinic Summer III-2011

   HelloRose replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

   I'm so upset. Summer III was the reason that I pushed myself since I started NS -- when I learned about it, I thought to myself "This is what I want to do!" I had a solid application and excellent GPA, and thought that I'd add diversity to the progr...

6. Air Force Nurse Corps

   HelloRose replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government

   Hello everybody, I'm a BSN student graduating in May of 2012 and am seriously looking at the USAF as my future. Problem is, nobody in my family has a history of any kind of military service so I have no clue about military life, let alone nursing in ...

7. Mayo Clinic Summer III-2011

   HelloRose replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

   My mom works tele and I had some classmates on that unit last semester so I have some insight. Its a very interesting place and you will learn a lot about all the rhythms -- my classmates know much more about cardiac than I, who worked on a surgical-...

8. Mayo Clinic Summer III-2011

   HelloRose replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

   I overnighted my application to them yesterday. My school fails at getting official transcripts out (submitted request on December 6 and I'm still waiting) so I sent it with an older transcript and my unofficial to show the grades from my last semest...

9. ATI assessment and testing modules??

   HelloRose replied to misslisa's topic in General Students

   Our school requires we pay for our ATI modules and tests each semester. It's worked out to being over $110 each semester so far, and I'm just finishing semester 2 of 6. It's a steep price to pay, especially since the only reason they added the progra...

10. Bay Area Nursing Programs

    HelloRose replied to jamie0110's topic in General Students

    Evergreen Valley College is also lottery. A friend of mine from SJSU was rejected at SJSU so she applied at EVC and got in on her first try. Then again some people wait at EVC for a few years, so your experience may vary. SJSU has no waitlist or lott...

11. International Edition textbooks

    HelloRose replied to HelloRose's topic in General Students

    Thank you everybody for your expertise! I think I'm going to go for it -- if the book does happen to be missing some pages, I'll just ask my friends if I could borrow their books for an hour or so. I also sent the seller an email asking about the pic...

12. International Edition textbooks

    HelloRose posted a topic in General Students

    Hello! I have the opportunity to purchase my MedSurg book for 1/3 of what my school is offering the bundle for, but the catch is that it's the international edition. That means it's softcover and can't be resold in the US (I think). My medsurg book i...

13. How long is nursing school?

    HelloRose replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about SFSU, but SJSU is a "5 year" program. That's means it's minimum 2 years prereqs, 3 years nursing classes. The nursing semesters are typically less than 14 units each, so it's not a terrible class load. They dropped their accelerate...

14. 3 years to transfer?

    HelloRose replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in General Nursing

    I was pretty much a straight A- student with a few A here and there. Since sjsu is impacted, they take three factors into account. 1) GPA of the 5? Prereqs (anatomy, physio, chem, english, and micro). 2) gpa of last 30 units 3) teas score. That way i...

15. 3 years to transfer?

    HelloRose replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new admit to the SJSU nursing program, and the undergrad coordinator told us at advising (when many of us were just starting our prereqs) that "You need a lot of A's, and very few B's." You need a minimum GPA of 3.0 to even submit your applicat...
