It is a tough program. Not sure how the classes are designed now, but on our first semester for the part time track we had Fundamentals on Tuesday nights, and on Saturday we had two classes the...

I am sorry SugarPie, it is tough when one tries hard. I have yet to land my first job and I graduated one year ago. I think most here on allnurses will recommend not to put the job down on your...

I think the LPN route is your best alternative, like most have suggested. I know community colleges have a very competitive program because the tuition is low and so a 2.50 GPA will not be good...

Here in South Florida, we have Barry University and they have dorms. I think also Florida International University do as well. Miami Dade college offers the ADN and then the BSN, but they do not...

Definitely do not do accelerated. MDC is great, the only problem is that they do not help you out much in getting a job after graduation like some schools. The job fair they had this week I...

What is a "Letter of Admonition"? What can one possibly do in our off time to get in trouble with our license?

The OP is correct, there is help out there, there is no shame in grabbing the helping hand. YOU MATTER! Sending lots of hugs and love.

Thank you for this post. I am one of those people, my dharma (calling) has always been to be a nurse, a caregiver. I am compassionate and caring. I was unable to pursue my dream when younger, but...

@ pre-pre-nurseshan because you dealt with patients and hospitals now are very geared to customer service, I would definitely put it there. I was an ophthalmic technician, so I am putting it on my...

I know. We are told to keep hydrated but yet we do not have to pee...LOL....well, my bladder is weak, so if I do not go, I will do it on myself...LOL...so I must, I must, go the loo.

How about hiring more nurses, decreasing the not so safe patient ratios? That would make more sense. Unfortunately it is all about saving cost for what I read here at AN, so the higher ups can get...

This is an excellent question that i wished someone would answer. I want to start getting ready the things that I will need on my new job.

Yes, it seems to always happen, you get a job and boom, everyone wants you. Let us hope I get that call. So anyone has any suggestions to add on my notes?

Kristek, thank you so much for your encouragement. I am applying everywhere, but so far only to full time positions, however I am going to change that as well. I interviewed with the recruiter...

Thank you IsisC. I had an interview today, it is in the hospital I want, not necessarily the unit though, but as you said is experience. Most likely the night shift and I am not that either, I am...

So awesome, congratulations :yes: I cannot wait for that to be me soon. I must admit I am so scared...as times goes by I am forgetting what I learned. Thank you for reinforcing that there will be...

When you have pre-existing condition, one has no choice but to get it and hope, my quote is not that high, but they are charging me for the past three months, while I checked at the beginning of this...

@ sweetlilwolf, I have shied away from part time because I need full time for the insurance, so I relate to your situation. I got my letter today for Cobra and well...wow, I think maybe your advise...

@ uthscsa2011, I am sorry that you were not able to find work (by the way if that is you on the avatar, you are beautiful). I will be honest that no matter how positive I stay, I am human and have...

I agree that is D. Also, remember to not read into the question or to add more information to fit in the answer that you think it is. If there is only one thing that you need to do for this...

I am sorry for the font size, I tried to decrease the size but I was unable to.

Hello my fellow nurses. I graduated last year, took my boards on August and passed on my first try - so proud of that :) , and I have been looking for a job ever since. Though I am jobless I...

I am in Florida, South Florida to be more exact. I graduated last April and took my boards on August. Been looking for a job ever since. I have only gotten 2 interviews and only as a favor to my...

The OP asks "Where will these facilities find their new workforce?"... they will get them from other countries like they used to up to a few years ago, because us new graduates are getting tired and...

This is a really good post. I was laid off (from a non-nursing job, but medical related) five months ago, and shy of two and a half weeks from taking my boards I have used that time to study for my...
