2. New Grad RN 2011

   Timeforachange replied to PrynsezNing's topic in Virginia

   I did attend the job fair at Senatar Potomac Hospital but was told upon arrival that it was only for "experienced" nurses and that I did not qualify. Hence, I was not even granted an interview.

3. HELP, ADVICE... anything on getting a job for a New Graduate RN!!!!

   Timeforachange replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia

   My search has been interesting. It turns out that the census has been so low in certain areas at Fairfax Hospital that some nurses had their shifts cut. Some area hospitals (all in DC or Maryland) have posted for new grads and I did get a call from...

5. Which program to apply to (LPN vs RN)?

   Timeforachange replied to chikichiki17's topic in General Students

   Make sure you get your "Request for Evaluation of Transcript" completed and mailed in with your official unopened transcript from GMU. Also include your high school transcript because NVCC would not allow my college chemistry classes as the required...

6. Which program to apply to (LPN vs RN)?

   Timeforachange replied to chikichiki17's topic in General Students

   Since you already have a degree from GMU your best path is to put your application into NVCC. This program does not compete, applications taken and you are accepted until there is no more room (some applicants from the waiting list will also get in)...

   Which med-surg clinical companion is best to add with the Skyscape constellation and Taber's Dictionary? I have been to the Skyscape website and can't figure this out. There is a Disease's and Disorders product and many more. Also, my school ment...

9. Something all OB nurses should know.

   Timeforachange replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am so sorry for your losses. You bring up an interesting point about burials. I had a friend that miscarried at around 20 to 24 weeks (it was many years ago and my memory is a bit fuzzy) in Florida. I remember being very surprised that she was re...

    Timeforachange replied to StudentNurseAbby's topic in General Students

    I just went to Barnes & Nobel and ordered my books. I have 2 sisters that work for the local school system and get an educator's discount (20%) when their card is shown. This works out to be better than B&N membership prices.

    Timeforachange replied to Durian328's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This will definately depend on your school. I have a BS which includes a high level math, biology and chemistry and I was still required to submit my high school transcripts. I was told they needed to see the "basic" level courses which had been ta...

    Princess74 - Have you thought about taking the ELI classes through the community college? I just finished with NAS161 and NAS162 (anatomy, physiology and microbiology) through NVCC. The only time you need to come to class is a lab weekend in Annand...

15. GMU vs NOVA vs Marymount

    Timeforachange replied to lexy3227's topic in Virginia

    NOVA has a great reputation and with your VA Tech degree you will only need a few bridge courses to begin your master's program should you decide to go on. That is my plan. Enjoy your summer and look forward to the beginning of nursing school. I wi...
