  1. Experience: Volunteering vs. CNA

    I would do the CNA course because it's hands-on patient care. I think it can also give you an advantage when you start to apply to jobs. For the nursing program I went to, we were required to be CNA certified before. Most of the people in our program...
  2. Need help! Or opinion!

    I would go BSN. Depending where you live, theyre starting to phase out LPNs. If you work in a rural area, sometimes you can qualify to have your loans paid off, too.
  3. Moving to NY after graduation

    Yes, you can take the test in MS. I took mine in NY and I was registered in CT
  4. Grad nurse jobs in ct

    I think they're about the same, but SNFs have rehab/sub-acute sections. Did you try athena healthcare systems? They have a lot of different facilities that you can apply to at once on their website. Also, have you considered volunteering or something...
  5. Moving to NY after graduation

    I went to nursing school out of state and returned to my home state, CT. I got licensed in CT. You can take your test in any Pearson Vue center in any state and still be registered for NY. The only thing is I feel it's to my disadvantage that I'm app...
  6. Im scared out of my mind for Anatomy

    I took A&P online and had to teach myself, which was very time-consuming. Whether you're taking it online or not, I found that youtube has some videos that can explain things in a different way and help you understand the concepts. Lots to memori...
  7. Grad nurse jobs in ct

    Have you interviewed with any SNFs? I talked to the recruiter at Hartford and she "strongly recommended" taking a skilled nursing position to get that patient contact. You could work there and then try for the hospital again?
  8. First nursing interview

    I don't know if you already had your interview, but I interviewed for an RN position on SNF and the interview process was pretty easy. One of the interviews barely asked any questions, but just explained how things worked in their facility. The other...
  9. Free NCLEX questions - Kaplan/3500

    Here are a few links to free questions. One is old Kaplan questions and the other is NCLEX 3500.http://nursing.slcc.edu/nclexrn3500/nursingTopicsSelect.do;jsessionid=EC0CB5BBA8ABBD9C474276381870C726Have fun
  10. Nervous about NCLEX... ADVISE PLEASE

    The NCLEX is difficult to study for. Almost nothing I studied was on the NCLEX - very random questions. However, I thought LaCharity Prioritization and Delegation came close. I found Saunders questions to cover a wide array of material, but felt the ...
  11. Grad nurse jobs in ct

    I applied to the Hartford residency program, and HR said they would forward my resume to the nurse manager. Never heard back from them about it. However, a nurse recruiter from Hartford recently emailed me and asked if I was interested in another pos...
