  1. I wouldn't say anything to prospective employers about this job. Just apply as a new graduate. Don't even mention it on your resume/application.
  2. Oh I know. I'm just saying that's probably the reason they're not willing to overlook small debts that go unpaid. Owing like 50 bucks and not paying it for 5 years makes it look like you're giving someone the middle finger salute.
  3. I can understand why this position requires it. It is common to not be able to get a job with anything having to do with federal law enforcement if you are in any kind of debt. The way they see it you are either: a.) irresponsible and can't be truste...
  4. So, I have an interview at a prison on Monday. The prison is run by a private company, but has a contract with the US Marshals. As such, they have very strict standards about credit history. Apparently, they won't hire you if you have any debt more t...
  5. If a new graduate is unable to secure a hospital job right out of nursing school, which one of the following jobs would be easiest to transition from into an entry-level med-surg position after say, a year of experience in that field: Corrections (ja...
  6. Best online Masters in Nur Education?

    What do you consider best? Cheapest? Most prestegious? One that will prepare you the best for what you want to do? At the masters level, there are a bunch of big name schools that offer degrees at a distance: Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, Vanderbilt, Yale a...
  7. I am a recent grad looking into an acute dialysis position because of the extensive training provided. For acute dialyis, will they want you to live in the same city your job is in so that you can respond quickly to pages when you are on call? I live...
  8. Need advice after losing first nursing job

    That's the official word out of the unemployment office. However, in practice, the vast majority of employees end up winning their appeal, even if the employer disputes it. If there is any subjectivity at all involved in the reason the employer gives...
  9. Need advice after losing first nursing job

    If I were you, I wouldn't even mention the fact that you even had this job and just apply to new graduate residencies as a new grad with no nursing experience. Many new grad nurse residency programs will hire people who got their degree within the pa...
  10. Critical Care in Corrections

    Hello, Are there any subsets of corrections nursing that actually afford you the ability to use your ACLS skills and run codes and work other critical care cases like managing vasoactive drips or taking care of patients with chest tubes, etc? I guess...
  11. Compact State Licensure from a non-compact state

    Thanks for the information. It appears then that new graduates from compact states who are willing to work anywhere have a significant advantage over non-compact state graduates, as they are immediately employable in any other compact state. A month ...
  12. I have a question about the license compact system. The state that I'm currently licensed in, GA, is not a compact state. If I get a license by endorsement in a state that is a compact state (for example, North Carolina), can I then use the fact that...
  13. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    Have any of you transferred credits from a semester-based school to Ohio University when those credits were part of a sequence? Like two semesters of chemistry or physics? My chemistry sequence on the semester system was fall semester chemistry I w/ ...
  14. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I have some questions for you all about the Ohio DARS: Who has the ultimate responsibility for preparing it? Who goes through your transcripts and decides which courses are the equivalent of Ohio University courses? Does your advisor do this? Is it t...
  15. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    If you test out of health appraisal, do you have the option of taking the class if you are not pleased with your grade on the challenge exam? I would rather take the class and get an A than test out and get a C.
