1. Knoxville Area Jobs?

   violettn replied to violettn's topic in Tennessee

   Really? No Knoxville nurses? That's okay though- I finally had some luck and have some interviews scheduled. If anyone else is job hunting around Knoxville, I highly recommend Covenant Health. The recruiters have been awesome- they are great about...

   I recently graduated from an ADN program and got my license, and I will be moving to the Knoxville area soon. I have not had much luck with job hunting so far- does anyone have any advice for finding a job around Knoxville? I have applied with Cove...

   Does anyone know about the pediatric RN Internship program at LeBonheur Children's hospital in Memphis? Like how to apply, qualifications and all of that. I will be graduating from an ASN program soon and I would LOVE to work there someday, but I h...

4. ASN OR BSN

   violettn replied to mmartin94's topic in Tennessee

   Thank you boyfactory! That is really reassuring :-) And here I've been freaking out about it...you'd think I would know better than to rely on the rumor mill for accurate info. My dream job would be to work at LeBonheur and I was absolutely crushed...

   violettn replied to healthnut84's topic in Tennessee

   I took micro at Southwest and had a great experience. It's not an easy class by any means, but our class size was pretty small (about 20 students- I took it in the summer) and the teacher was great- very one-on-one. I don't know about U of M, but I...

6. ASN OR BSN

   violettn replied to mmartin94's topic in Tennessee

   That's probably what I will end up doing. I plan on really really trying to find a job after graduation, but if I don't have any luck after a few months of job hunting, I'll go ahead and start on my BSN. I really need to be working though... pay th...

7. ASN OR BSN

   violettn replied to mmartin94's topic in Tennessee

   I will be graduating from an ASN program in December, and that had been my thinking. I figured I would get a job and then continue my education, but I'm starting to wonder if I made a big mistake and should have just gone straight for a BSN. I ...

   violettn replied to violettn's topic in Tennessee

   Well $35 isn''t too bad- I was thinking it'd be a lot more. Thats actually cheaper than any of the other things. I'm taking the "CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Health Care Provider or Lifeguard" class at the red cross- http://www.midsouth...

    violettn replied to violettn's topic in Tennessee

    Same here! I think I have a pretty good chance of being accepted, but you never know... SWTCC was the only program that I applied to, so if I don't get in I'll be absolutely devestated (I'm sure everyone feels that way too) But yeah- November is tak...
