1. Filipino nurse: Germany or US

   jessica1993 replied to kf19's topic in International

   You're casting a very wide net here. I can't speak for Germany, but the United States is such a large country. The job market is tougher in New York City than it is in certain areas of Texas. In NYC, I'm sure the nurses are paid nicely, but the cost ...

2. MGH IHP ABSN Summer 2018

   jessica1993 replied to Nursebellz's topic in Massachusetts

   No worries! I found a job two months after I took the NCLEX. My biggest regret was not applying for a job during fourth semester. They've changed the admissions requirements from when I applied-we didn't use CAS and didn't have to take the TEAS for a...

   Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I had downloaded an app, that had the algorithm, but it was pretty overwhelming. Thank you!

5. Please help! ACLS :/

   jessica1993 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I apologize if I posted this in the wrong forum, but I'm having some trouble with ACLS. I'm not registered to take the class yet, so I don't have the manual, but I wanted to review it. I have a few questions. 1) when do you start ACLS-i.e., when doe...

6. Loosing hope

   jessica1993 replied to Mtac32's topic in New Nurse

   Here's some advice: lose the attitude. Youve shown nothing but an awful attitude throughout this entire post. I understand that you're frustrated. We've all been there. However, none of us caused you to not have gotten a job yet. People have been tr...

7. Fees for NCLEX & Licensure--Fingerprinting?

   jessica1993 replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in Massachusetts

   In terms of applying, I paid $430. $200 to Pearson VUE and $230 to the MA BON. You've listed the BON fee and the application fee. They are the same. I was not fingerprinted, but when you submit the application, i believe that they run a background ch...

10. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    jessica1993 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Lol. There's definitely been a combative tone to your posts. But hey, maybe you're not trying to argue. Opinions were asked, and we've supplied them. To some of us, it really just doesn't make sense to not have any RN experience beforehand. Do you.

11. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    jessica1993 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing

    THIS. Plus, those direct-entry APRN programs seem odd to me. Not everyone gets to work as RN, which makes no sense to me. I feel like RN experience should be required. If you haven't worked as a nurse, why should you be an advanced-practice nurse? Bu...

    jessica1993 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Actually, no, it doesn't. Passing the nclex is just the first step. Programs require you to have labor and delivery experience.

    jessica1993 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There's a reason reason why certified nurse midwives are known as advanced-practice nurses: you need the solid nursing foundation.
