Thanks for the good wishes! We will be moving from W.V. We've been looking primarily in Texas, though have options in Virginia and Georgia as well. Things are still playing out. As far as D&E, we...

NO reason to apologize. We new grads need and appreciate the sage advise of you experienced RN's.:bow: Regardless of the fact that I have a good amount of work experience prior to nursing, this is...

Dude, you're GOLDEN! You have the power to negotiate because of your ample experience. Us new grad peons just get to take what they offer and deal with it....not that it's really all that horrible.

Yes it can. Sad but true. Why take the chance, Right??

Any suggestions how to make a recovery with a place I REAALLLLLYYY want to work at? I've only spoken with the RN recruiter, no nurse managers.

OK, OK I give... I may not necessarily agree, but I clearly see the point being made. No more asking about pay. :trc:

I know it's "proper" not to ask, but it just doesn't make much sense. I'm interviewing over the phone with these people and some of them are very difficult to get ahold of. When you finally have...

So, why especially in this economy? Why do the tough time make it a more sensitive issue?

Yah....Good ol' D&E. They're not really on my good side right now... Hopefully, issues are being resolved as I type. We'll see this week. Is the Middle Fork out out by Dry Fork? Great fishing...

I externed this summer in the OR and it was awesome. The nurse manager/charge/staff are FANTASTIC. I'll be preceptoring in the ICU this semester, starting very soon, and will be happy to share when...

Let the frustration continue!! Sure I know of Morgantown. I'm in Elkins, aka "Hell-kins". We have to get somewhere warm. We're not from here and miss the sunshine.....

Yep. I think it depends on how your prof's are testing. Mostly from lecture or from the book. No matter what, reading the whole chapter isn't going to do anything but help...sometimes. I have run...

Hey there. My wife and I are looking into Methodist Hospital, S.A.. She was just offered a position in the MICU. Did you end up at Methodist or Seton? We have applications in at Seton too. ...

Thanks for the input. That's the kind of stuff we're looking for. We are about to submit our apps and resume's to Seton and probably St Davids. Wish us luck!

Nice... I'm sitting herein West Virginia, freezing my A@@ off, day dreaming about Austin and getting more and more excited about the possibility of working within the Seton group. Seton almost...

Hey Borta, How did everything work out for you? Did you end up with an interview? Have you been hired? What's happened?

I too am just starting my research into the Seton group. Would you mind sharing the names of those recruiters with me? And maybe why you're so fond of them? Thanks! You can just PM me if that's...
