   What about Crystal Run healthcare? I know they hire new grads. My friend works at one location and loves it. She is hoping to be able to use some of the CRH experience when she begins applying to acute care settings. And there are multiple sites in O...

4. I Passed Nclex-RN!! Advice for test takers

   alih713 replied to laynaER's topic in NCLEX

   I don't really have any area I'd like to specialize as of now...I'd like to finish all of my clinical rotations first before I make a decision. I am a float NA at a hospital by me and I really love OB, NICU, and the Cancer Center. As a student I real...

5. I Passed Nclex-RN!! Advice for test takers

   alih713 replied to laynaER's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for the advice! I believe the biggest change is going to be adding the "check all that apply" questions...that's all I've heard. Nursing school is definitely tough, but I really love it.

6. Frustration & No RN Job Opportunities

   alih713 replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in New Nurse

   Two of my friends, who graduated May 2009, were able to get FT jobs by Sept 2009 after passing the NCLEX. They both live in NY. They both previously worked as nursing assistants at the hospital where they were hired also...that may have played a part...

8. Is it really that hard?

   alih713 replied to EbonyBorn2Succeed's topic in General Students

   Yes, it's hard work. But if you REALLY want to be a nurse, and you're self-motivated, hard-working, etc. then you can do it. I would suggest talking to other nursing students that are in the same program for any specifics to your school. Good luck!

9. Anyone know about Sullivan County Community college RN program?

   alih713 replied to Davidrn2010's topic in New York

   You have to take the TEAS exam...I believe you need to get an 80 on the exam. If you already have a degree, however, you do not need to take the TEAS. Talk to the director of the nursing program about getting in to the program. You can not take any o...

    alih713 replied to laynaER's topic in NCLEX

    Congrats, Amber :) I still have another year left of nursing school, but I'm already nervous about the nclex!! I have been practicing with the ATI discs and review books that my school gives us, and I think that has been boosting my confidence. I am ...

11. EMT and Micro?

    alih713 replied to JM5NA's topic in General Students

    I think it's a great idea. I actually took A&P1, A&P2, and Microbiology during 3 summer sessions. If you like fast-paced classes, I think you would do fine! Good luck :)

12. Do you ever sit and wonder.....?

    alih713 replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    How about the students that cheat?! I just don't understand it. Luckily, my instructors have been cracking down on the cheaters during exams

13. Frustration & No RN Job Opportunities

    alih713 replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in New Nurse

    Volunteer at a local hospital/nursing home...apply for NA jobs (if you've completed NUR 1)..get involved, and network, network, network! :) That's the best advice I could give.

15. Do you ever sit and wonder.....?

    alih713 replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    Hahaha this is a funny one! I go to school with about 40 other students. I would say that about 25 out of the 40-ish think they know EVERYTHING there is to know about nursing. They even interrupt the instructors at times! It's ridiculous.
