  1. Updated pay rates local hospitals

    St Marys new grad pay $29.25/hr. Evening diff $2.45. Night diff $3.45. Weekend diff $3.75. So far not much has changed with the merger with Trinity. We were informed 2 weeks ago that they are NOT doing a wage freeze, so everyone will receive a wa...

  3. How long for RN license in the mail?

    Are you a new nurse, first license in CT? If so, when the state approved your license request, you should have received an email that said when they mail them out. For me, my email stated licenses are mailed during the 3rd week of the following mon...
  4. NVCC Nursing 2015-17

    I also just graduate. I already took the NCLEX and passed with minimal prep on my own. I think the program prepared me well for the NCLEX. Semester 3 is the hardest. If you get "difficult" clinical instructors the first year, just enjoy being pus...
  5. Quick Results on a Sunday?

    I took my NCLEX on Friday. I read somewhere that quick results are issued 48 business hours after testing, but have read in other spots just 48h hours. Has anyone gotten quick results on a Sunday before?
  6. NVCC Nursing 2015-17

    It is so much easier to get them through the uniform store because they will sew the patches on. I know everything seems a lot right now (fianancially) but the uniforms really aren't overly expensive. Also-if you are in a major bind and really can'...

  10. Capital Community College Admission Decision

    Yes, sorry! I meant April-not March!
  11. Capital Community College Admission Decision

    They will open a link once everything is uploaded. They usually post an announcement that the link is up. Previously we were able to search "nursing" in mycommnet and get the link before they officially released it, but I think they changed that la...
  12. Capital Community College Admission Decision

    The community colleges do not send out their own decision letters. The Board of Regents will post in mycomment at some point in March (usually in the first 2 weeks). It is different each year. They stopped sending letters through the mail 2 years ...
  13. List of level IV NICU's

    Albany Med in NY and I believe Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, Ct is as well.
  14. Amazingly well put! I hope some of the writer's hospital administrators are on here and will read this. I wish the administrators at my previous hospital could read this! They are quick to point a finger at the people on the floor doing the work, ...
  15. How To Answer The Most Common Nursing Interview Questions

    At the end when you have the opportunity to ask questions, some of my nursing instructors said to ask about the turn-over rate on the unit and the reasons for it (termination, promotion etc)...I feel like that is not a good question to ask. What are...
