  1. Is it worth it at this point?

    Hi all! I graduated from an NP Program about 4 years ago. There were delays from my school at graduation due to COVID and a cyber attack. I then had personal tragedy which caused me to be unable to afford to test. When I finally could afford to test,...
  2. NNP clinical placements?

    Is there any place where I can find help with getting an NNP clinical placement? When I applied to my program, the website said it helps with placement. However, they only help with placement within the state. My home facility has a new grad NNP and ...

    Thank you everyone for your responses.
  4. Student nurses and deposition

    Can a student nurse be called for deposition?
  5. Hospitals not accepting entry level nurses, new grads. What to do?

    Summerlin hospital had just posted SEVERAL new grad positions for their med surg floors maybe 2 weeks ago. Last I checked however, they were already taken down. Set up job agents for the hospital job boards to email you when a job with the term "new ...
  6. Advice please!

    I'll spare the exact details because its a long and very specific story that would probably get recognized on this site. I am a new grad nurse working in a hospital as ancillary staff. I have done 3+ years on the unit I work. Since receiving my RN li...
  7. Benefit of NCLEX in Arizona vs. Nevada

    It does not matter what state you physically take the NCLEX in. It is where you have your results sent to (for your RN license) is what matters. If I wanted to take my NCLEX in Alaska, I can do that but my license would be for nevada since that is th...
  8. landing an ICU job

    Never assume that because you work in a unit that you will be able to move into an RN position in that unit! I had a few classmates that worked ICU as CNAs but were told they had to work 2-3 yrs in med-surg first. Granted, they had a guaranteed job w...
  9. Phone interview vent

    Thank you all for your replies. I am trying to stay positive since its a position I really want. But, I am aware that my chances of being one in hundreds is slim. I truly hope that they weren't serious in saying that they were interviewing hundreds, ...
  10. Phone interview vent

    Today, I had a phone interview for a new grad position in a very respected hospital. I've been very excited for this interview because it is in a specialty that I love. However, now I am not feeling so good about it. They were running late in callin...
  11. CNA @ CSN?

    I went through the program 4 years ago, so it may not be as relevant as someone who went through more recently. I didn't feel it was very hard for someone who had finished almost all the prerequisites for the nursing program. They are very strict on...
  12. Suffer through or quit?

    Thank you for your replies. It's been a rough week for me. The frustration with my job at the hospital is growing now that I've gotten a taste of RN work. I can't scale back my hours, but I'll hang in there.
  13. Suffer through or quit?

    I have a dilemma. Through nursing school, I have worked in a hospital setting as a tech. My manager assured me through school that I would start as an RN when I passed boards. I graduated in May and passed my boards in June. Now, I'm being told that...
  14. Hospice nurse orientation

    Thank you all for your replies! I waited it out to see how things would play. Apparently, the person I followed isn't on the "team" that I will be on, but she was supposed to show me the basics of the visits. My manager has been very supportive this...
  15. NRP required BEFORE hire?

    Thanks for the responses. I was freaking out because of that. I wasn't able to find any open classes in my city when I posted this, but I found someone who will do a skills check-off for me if they do offer me the position :-)
