Great point to bring up! I have been thinking the same question. I feel like my volunteer experience is just as lengthy as my other experience. We want to get some recognition for it, right? Any other advice from experienced nurses would be helpful.

I got a call back and interview next Thursday. I have been searching since December 2010 and had few interviews. I have applied to endless residencies all over CA. I'm not sure what stood out on my resume this time. I feel like it's pretty good, but ...
I think it's okay for you to ask advice on this forum despite the other comment. It's a place to ask questions and feel comfortable. Of course, use your best judgement. Or ask another nurse you feel comfortable with. Yes, ultimately ask your supervis...
Jeremy and others, How did your ER tech interview go? Any tips? I have an interview coming up and would like to prepare if possible. I am a nursing student with no prior medical experience. I got selected from a group of others to come back for a sec...

peaceofmind8, Wow, you got into the USF MSN program! I would take that offer over all of them. If that is your long term goal then go for it. Hopefully, the economy will be better by then too. I am not sure what your clinical experience would be like...

Sorry you feel like you are being tormented. I think it is extremely rude for students to text, IM, and use Facebook during lectures. I see this is in my program. I'm like, really...you need to IM her sitting two tables away and post comments on FB o...
Get the Hesi Comp Review for NCLEX-RN. It comes with software that includes practice exams. Pharmacology in particular. Or ask other fellow nursing students if you can borrow their CD. I'm sure someone has it. I felt like it was pretty indicative of ...
I was chosen as an alternate for my accelerated nursing program. I was freaked out too. Some of the people that were accepted I question how they even made it. Four people dropped out in the first month. I ended up getting accepted. I did have to sac...
Yes, I have wanted to go to NYC or SF. I came from SF but in school elsewhere. I know it's hard in both places! It really sucks knowing there's a chance I don't get to go back home to where I love. What a bad time to be in nursing school!!!!! I am a...
Yes, your situation is tough. I don't look down on you for having to quit. You are doing what you have to do to survive. On a side note. Is it still really tough in the Bay Area for new grad nurses. Pretty non-existent??? I am in nursing school now ...

Does anyone know if they are offering 2010 summer nursing externships at Mt. Sinai or NY_Presbyterian Hospitals? I have seen them posted on 2010 postings, but there flyers reflect 2009. Thanks!
