   Most are getting Med/Surg type positions, if anything. There are a few hospitals doing residency programs, so if anyone is lucky enough to get into those, they have a better chance at working in a specialty area. But they only run the residencies eve...

   I'm in a tough position because I KNOW that I want ER but as a new grad, I'm just not sure how realistic it will be for me to find a job in the ER. The market here in Portland, OR is pretty crazy for new grads. But, if I were you, I would just do so...

    I am curious, for those that got a second interview, have you already passed the NCLEX? I wonder if they took that into consideration or if they don't mind that some of us are taking it in August. Does anyone know when they are planning the second ...

    ChristyPortland replied to tcbsmph's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know I don't understand the process either. Sasha told me the order of review is not relevant. But obviously it IS relevant if people have already been told they were accepted and our apps haven't even been looked at yet! I kind of feel like we got...
