1. Rutgers Accelerated Program - Testing out of certain prerequisites

   LoriNJ replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in New Jersey

   I'm fairly certain you can take them at a community college. At least one person I went to school with did that. But if you have questions about what will transfer, why not give the school of nursing a call to be sure. This way you won't waste your m...

2. 14 month accelerated BSN program @ Rutgers/Newark

   LoriNJ replied to MinteScrubs's topic in New Jersey

   When I went through it 2008-2009 the program was based out of Newark. We did have one semester in New Brunswick though. I don't know if they have changed it since then.

3. Graduate Nurses-- any luck on jobs?

   LoriNJ replied to MeggaRN's topic in Pennsylvania

   Most of the hospitals I was applying to out of the main state I had my license in wouldn't consider me unless I actually had their state's license. The NJ endorsement process is a pain. It is expensive and time consuming like you said. (I got my PA l...

4. Florida to Philly

   LoriNJ replied to untamable07's topic in Pennsylvania

   Hey there, I'm a nurse in Philly and my boyfriend is currently looking for a teaching job here as well. It took me about 6 months to find a nursing job here, though I was a new grad. I think your prospects as someone with experience are definitely...

6. Is this where to start?

   LoriNJ replied to tlt24's topic in New Nurse

   I definitely agree, go for it! A "new grad" just started on my floor- she had been working as a clerk in the hospital since nursing school graduation and she is doing great, even though she didn't do floor nursing for a year after graduation. If you ...

7. Losing your skills?

   LoriNJ replied to ErinJane's topic in New Nurse

   I definitely understand where you're coming from, I worked for 4 months in a department store after graduating from nursing school while I was job hunting. I really felt like I wasn't going to remember anything. I tried to read up on general ideas if...

8. So who got a job and how?

   LoriNJ replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in New Nurse

   I can't say that any of the traditional job hunting methods helped for me. I was looking in a new city where I had no connections, so networking wasn't really accessible. I would apply online and fax/mail resumes and always followed up and it got me ...

9. Automated Email after and Interview and Shadow?

   LoriNJ replied to LoriNJ's topic in General Nursing

   So as it turns out I was not supposed to receive the automated email! I called to follow up and get feedback and I was told that I was still being considered for the position. Fast forward a week and I was offered the job! I am so thankful and very g...

11. Endorsement PA->NJ

    LoriNJ posted a topic in Pennsylvania

    Anyone know how long the process typically takes for a PA to NJ endorsement? I have a PA license and looking to get NJ. Thanks!

12. Shadowing post interview - Is this a good sign?

    LoriNJ replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I sent a thank you note to the three people that interviewed me and then a separate one to the nurse that let me tag along on my shadow day. I feel like it couldn't hurt- they did ask the nurse I shadowed with her opinion about me and sending a nice ...

13. Should I apply for a license in every state I'm trying to get a job in?

    LoriNJ replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in New Nurse

    That is a really good question! I just applied for a license in another state to see if it will increase my chances of getting an interview. I had called nurse recruiters and a few hospitals basically said they wouldn't even consider me without that ...

14. Automated Email after and Interview and Shadow?

    LoriNJ posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was thankful to finally have an interview after months of job hunting, and thought it went well because I was asked to shadow the next week. I had my shadow day on Wednesday and now (Sunday night) I got an automated email saying they have found ano...

15. Shadowing post interview - Is this a good sign?

    LoriNJ replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ooo I'm hoping that being asked to shadow is a good sign cause I got asked the same thing after my interview last week! I had my shadow day on Wednesday, hope to hear back soon. Keep us posted!
