   lauramrob, I only had an hour and a half to spare! Inwas resigned to just waiting until the next rotation, but the last thing came through! I am passed out. Vandyrn27, thank you so much for your offer! Did you go through the NRP as well?

   SICUMINurse, are you coming from MI? If so, what region? I'm from MI originally and have been daydreaming about going back.

4. My first 100 days on the job: Week 3

   pre-nurseshan replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I graduate in December, and while I didn't expect it, I loved my ICU rotation and I've begun thinking I might want an ICU position after graduation. I'm curious how you're adjusting to your new living...

5. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2016

   pre-nurseshan posted a topic in Tennessee

   Today's the day - applications are open! I've been looking forward to applying for this program since before I was in nursing school - I can't believe it's finally time to apply, and almost time to graduate! Join me as we go through the nail-biting p...

6. Scripting sounds patronizing

   pre-nurseshan replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Yikes! The only thing is, scripting and active listening can become second nature, especially when a person is stressed. I can see how the particular script she chose was inappropriate in the context, but maybe that's just the way she talks?

7. Someone got a $25K signing bonus at a hospital in OH?!

   pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Ohio

   Well, it's reassuring to hear that signing bonuses still exist in some places. I thought they only had those in North Dakota! I'm still pretty skeptical about the details of this story - I asked her to clarify with her source and get back to me. If t...

   Esme, what a scary experience! I'm so glad to hear that you're on the mend! Take good care of yourself and may God bless you!

9. Someone got a $25K signing bonus at a hospital in OH?!

   pre-nurseshan posted a topic in Ohio

   Surely this can't be true, right?! This was third hand information, but someone just told me a story about selling their house to a new grad nurse in OH who used this supposed $25K signing bonus as a down payment on a house. I was in disbelief, but I...

    Now that I go back and look at the website again, I see that they have an interest in integrative health, which is a passion of mine as well.

11. Mercy St. Mary's of Grand Rapids, MI "New Grad Action Day"

    pre-nurseshan replied to CSUNgrad14's topic in Michigan

    I may be. I currently live in TN, but I am from MI. I'm starting my last semester of my BSN this fall. I have debated moving back home for some time, but it's scary as a new grad nurse to walk away from the place where you've made connections, if you...

    pre-nurseshan replied to CSUNgrad14's topic in Michigan

    Ha, now I can't remember if I had any specific questions! How competitive was the application/acceptance process? What is "New Grad Action Day"?

13. I passed my NCLEX first time in 75 questions! Here's how I did it

    pre-nurseshan replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! May we all have such a smooth transition out of nursing school! Can I ask, how did you feel about your retention of the program content after you graduated? Did you feel like you remembered all, most, some, almost none of it?

    pre-nurseshan replied to CSUNgrad14's topic in Michigan
