Yes, I received my BSN in May of 2011. I did the 12 month accelerated program, never doing that again! I felt like I had to cram everything in that year. Took the boards in a month and a half and passed on the first try. I'd say it was worth it in th...
I just read that you resigned from your job. How's the job search going for you? I'm afraid no hospital will hire me because I was terminated in such a short period of time.
I know exactly how you are feeling. I was terminated without warning. I was still orienting and I brought up a safety issue to my supervisor. I was also passive when I was pretty sure I was going to be terminated, feeling like I could have done more ...

I do want to go into public health someday doing public awareness campaigns and providing care in underserved areas. I am very interested in world health and epidemiology. I know that it's important to have that one year's hospital experience since t...
No, this was not an issue of discrimination. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit by saying I had to work 10x harder to stand out as a male nurse. What I mean is providing genuine and compassionate care doesn't always come naturally for me. I know that I ...

Hi, I hope things have started to look up. I have recently been terminated from my first nursing job at a major teaching hospital. I was told that I don't have to be given a reason for termination since I was still on probation as a new nurse. I know...
Thank you for the words of encouragement :-) May I ask what field of nursing you're in? I am questioning whether bedside nursing is for me. Don't get me wrong, I love doing all the care required of a bedside nurse, just sick of the politics that go o...

Hi, I can relate to your post on many levels. Definitely went through all the stages of Kubler Ross grief model. DABDA!!! Now I know this happened to me, I am not the only one and definitely won't be the last. All this free time has allowed me to ref...

Okay cool. Are you from the area? I'm from NYC. Are you looking into campus housing? I plan on living in Hillside, I think we have to apply separately for summer housing...so annoying!

Has anyone submitted their deposit to Binghamton already? I am waiting to do that this week and I was wondering if you got more information regarding on-campus housing and course scheduling. The acceptance letter was quite generic...agree?
Due to financial issues, I have decided to release my seat as well. I just got accepted to another accelerated nursing program and will be going there instead. Good luck waitlist hopefuls :)
