1. My anger

   biomimetical replied to antesignani's topic in Job Hunt

   Oh, absolutely. That, plus a better externship, or maybe previous work experience or a resume that looked better than mine. But I'd absolutely bet on them knowing someone on the inside, too. That's how things work, although of course one might not fe...

2. My anger

   biomimetical replied to antesignani's topic in Job Hunt

   I know how you feel. A lot of my classmates and I applied to the same New Graduate Nurse Residency Program at a hospital that is very friendly to grads from our school. Despite having the same if not better qualifications as my classmates, I got reje...

3. Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

   biomimetical replied to biomimetical's topic in Job Hunt

   Whoa now everyone. I only wanted to point out that discrimination towards ethnic/minority names occurred in the hiring process (and backed it up with sources). Please don't go pointing out that life sucks more for you because you're white or black or...

4. I just can't find a job.

   biomimetical replied to SugarSugar15's topic in Job Hunt

   Curious - are you volunteering? I am planning to go this route myself. Has it helped you make any connections (that lead to job opps)?

5. Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

   biomimetical replied to biomimetical's topic in Job Hunt

   I don't believe anyone would deliberately or blatantly discriminate that way (by tossing a resume strictly based on the name). But in the face of many, many applicants per job, they might narrow the list down per requirements to a smaller pool of ...

6. Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

   biomimetical posted a topic in Job Hunt

   No matter how many self-righteous managers and nurses might deny it, there is still plenty of discrimination against job hunters with ethnic names. All you have to do is Google to find plenty of articles, stats, and studies showing that people with m...

7. 2012 UNF Accelerated BSN Hopefuls

   biomimetical replied to eric813us's topic in Florida

   Hey there, I'm from the 2011 APL program, so I can answer that for you. While the traditional program is slower and includes more classes, many of those classes are things like socialization, nursing science, and nursing ethics. The accelerated progr...

8. UNF Fall 2011 RPL Applicants

   biomimetical replied to KaliAshlynK's topic in Florida

   Aw, you guys are a semester after me! (I started in May, and am in the APL program.) I wonder if you guys have to buy the same stuff that we did? Because I definitely didn't use most of it this semester and wasted quite a bit of money...just sayin'. ...

9. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

   biomimetical replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This reminds me of an article I read in the New York Times about how the market is being saturated with law school graduates - just because a law school exists, or that it accepts you and your money, or that it gives you a degree - none of that means...

    Runnermom - oh man, I totally just saw your post on the JU thread saying you were accepted! Congrats! So now you have three schools to choose from? I was the Asian girl in our interview group. Were you the one with the wicked awesome heels? Readyno...

    Waitlisted! Oh well, UNF - here I come. Congrats to everyone else though! Please let us know if you were accepted!

13. New RN

    biomimetical replied to shorty091985's topic in Florida

    FLmomof5, what school did you go to? I've applied to both UNF and JU but I still can't decide! I've been told to pick the school with better clinicals, but since there are so many hospitals in Jax, it seems students of both schools can get a well-rou...

14. UNF summer 2011 hopefull

    biomimetical replied to FLhusker's topic in Florida

    Hi guys, sorry I'm late to the party. I interviewed at 9:30am in group 4 and was also accepted to the Accelerated program. Congrats to everyone else for getting in too! I'm also waiting for JU's response, as I am still torn between the two schools...

    biomimetical replied to nursism's topic in Florida

    Hi guys, I just spoke with Chris in person today and as of yet letters have not been mailed out. He said that there was an unusually large number of applicants this year so it's been taking longer. Hopefully things will be finalized today or tomorrow...
