  1. Comparing salaries...

    I'm a new grad starting my first CRC position and was offered a salary of slightly more than 35K??? Is this typical of a new RN with zero research experience???? This is in NC/SC and the entry level pay for new grad RNs is sadly only slightly more....
  2. I graduated in Dec '09... passed the NCLEX in Feb '09... and just landed my first RN position (in research) last week. I began my search last October and only scored one hospital interview in the last six months (that I didn't get)... I'm in NC.
  3. Well... I accepted the job!!! I honestly just couldn't stand to be unemployed any longer (not to mention my student loans begin next month) and I truly don't believe a hospital position is going to open up any time soon... it's just TOO saturated. ...
  4. The 1st check as an rn....yay!!! Or nay!!

    I just accepted my first RN position in NC at $17/hr... I made $17.50/hr as a Tech in Michigan during nursing school.... boo!
  5. Hello I'm a Dec '09 grad who unfortunately, like so many others, has yet to secure an inpatient, acute-care nursing position. Through networking and what I call, sheer luck, I've been offered a position as a CRC. I would be joining a team of CRCs...
  6. Little help for a new BSN grad

    i agree, sending a cover letter will help. in addition to applying online, you could always construct a small portfolio, which should include your resume/cover letter, 3 clinical/professional letters of recommendation, awards/certifications, etc. a...
  7. A totally different career path please

    I agree with many of the posts above. There are so many avenues of nursing, it's not limited to just working med/surg. Although I do believe that kind of experience is a great way to get acclimated to bedside nursing. With that said, not EVERYONE ...
  8. Need some encouragement

    Who told you that you cannot volunteer in a clinical setting? Have you tried your local Red Cross Chapter??? I'm a new grad who has not been fortunate enough to find a job either. So I feel your pain. However, you mentioned that you've had "eight...
  9. Oh, but I would check with the nursing department. Lori used to be the secretary, but I can't remember if it's someone else now and make sure there aren't other requirements.
  10. oops... forgot to add the website... http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm
  11. Yes. You're given so many points for an A or A-... and it depends on how many credits per grade (was it a 3 or 4 credit course). Here's a website with a GPA calculator and you can tally up your GPA with those core classes.
  12. I believe it is. I'm a recent graduate and although I applied a little over three years ago, I'm sure it gets harder and more competitive every year. I'm not sure if acceptance is based on the same criteria, but at the time they only looked at pre-...
  13. CMC New Grad Program

    I actually went to school out-of-state, so unfortunately (to my disadvantage), I'm not at all affiliated, nor do I have any connections to any of the hospitals in or near CLT. I moved to NC in December because of my husband's job. I've gotten to kn...
  14. CMC New Grad Program

    justwandering... did you graduate in Dec or this semester??? I haven't received such a letter, however, I don't understand why they would hold on to my application for three months and not yours?!? Or maybe my rejection letter is still in the mail.....
  15. CMC New Grad Program

    justwandering31- I feel your pain! I just recieved my "rejection" letter from Piedmont. And unfortunately that's the only interview I've been able to score in two months of trying. Did you have an interview at CMC? I applied in Jan and haven't he...
