  1. Tips for a neurodivergent and mentally ill student?

    I have ADHD and ASD and i had a long history of academic failure under my belt when I decided to go to college and then to pursue nursing. I had luck making things as tactile and visual as possible. I got a part time job as an open lab tutor so I got...
  2. Psych interview coming up!

    Did you get an offer?? :)
  3. Psych interview coming up!

    I would talk about the grandmother with dementia and even the suicidal brother, as long as your examples show experience with psych issues and not co-dependence. I did mention family experiences in my interview, and I think it showed that I had a fam...
  4. new grad... base pay/jobs?

    I was offered a few jobs this summer before I found the right one for me, and all of them in central NH seemed to pay around $21-22/hr for a new grad, based on full-time. Dartmouth Hitchcock pays $25/hr to start, but it's further north and has a much...
  5. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    The OR position was the one I initially phone-interviewed about, but then they thoughyt I;d be better in psych (I have a lot of crisis counselling experience). The OR would be exciting, I think. It sounded like great pay and they have an on-call apar...
  6. Psych interview coming up!

    I'm a new grad with an ADN, and I just scored a full-time psych nurse gig/residency program. For the interview, be prepared to talk about why you are interested in the specialty, as well as to describe the RN's role in psych nursing, and also be read...
  7. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    After my phone interview, I got an email to schedule an in-person interview the next week. She had mentioned they were looking to fill the last few spots, but I accepted another position at a hospital closer. Good luck to the rest of you, though! Hop...
  8. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    They did finally contact me for an interview a couple weeks ago, but I decided on another position. They told me they had "most" of the slots filled at that point.
  9. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    My phone interview was just last week. Nothing back yet, but it's only been a few days. I waited at least two months just to get the phone interview, too. Not a very speedy or clear hiring process, is it?
  10. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    Did you ever hear more back?
  11. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    Now the site says this: DHMC is no longer accepting applications for our 2012 New Grad RN Residency Program. Please check our postings late fall/winter 2012 for 2013 NRP programs. I hope that means they are actively processing the applications the...
  12. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    I have applied as well and have heard nothing. Even after sending a follow up email to confirm they have everything they need, no response at all. I did hear a rumor that another girl in my program who applied DID get a phone interview. That's all I ...
  13. This thread scares me. I'm a single mother of two, and I worked my butt off for a year just to get accepted into the RN program, which begins this fall. I need a job that will pay decently and allow some flexibility for parenting (I plan to long days...
  14. What do you do in your spare time or days off?

    I'm in school still, but between that and raising two kids as a single mom, I have a busy schedule. But once a week, I go ballroom dancing in town, and during "down time" with the kids, I practice my (newly purchased) ukulele and we sing songs while ...
