   The challenge!

2. what to say?

   KatieIowa23 replied to power99's topic in Recovery

   I agree with BedPan76. Just tell the truth. I think people will look up to you for that and respect you.

3. The annoying classmates

   KatieIowa23 replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel your pain. You have every right to say something since it is really interfering with your ability to learn. Those students sound obnoxious and probably won't make it through Nursing School. Good luck!

4. Prayer Request!!

   KatieIowa23 replied to raidermom's topic in School

   Done!

5. Austin/Seton Questions

   KatieIowa23 replied to oregonlive's topic in Texas

   Yes, there are other start dates later than the June date that you could apply for. I believe as a new grad RN you must be hired as part of the grad residency program.

6. Dell Children's

   KatieIowa23 replied to abbabask's topic in Texas

   Thanks for your reply. I'm surprised they are not hiring because the website looks like they are hiring new graduates for June. They even have a Nurse Residency Program. I believe other units that are part of Seton are hiring.

7. Current job market in Austin Texas for new RNs?

   KatieIowa23 replied to AvenueQT's topic in Texas

   I am in the same situation and graduating in May. From what I can see on the website, it appears that Seton is hiring new graduates for June. They have a Nurse Residency Program. You may want to call them and inquire about it!

8. Students that cheat

   KatieIowa23 replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

   I agree with PrettyLadie. Jan obviously has cheated her way through school, meaning she probably hasn't ACTUALLY learned any of the material. This will come back to bite her when she is working as an RN or goes to take her NCLEX. She will suffer con...

9. New grad jobs: When to apply?

   KatieIowa23 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

   In my opinion, If there are job postings already and you are graduating in May, go for it! Better to apply earlier than later because some jobs become "unavailable" as soon as there are a certain amount of applicants. You don't want to wait. Many job...

10. Are there enough "New-grad" positions in your area?

    KatieIowa23 replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Students

    I'm from Iowa and the situation isn't good here either. I know of May 2008 and December 2008 graduates from my College of Nursing that haven't found jobs yet. The current economic situation isn't looking good for new Nursing grads despite the nursing...

    KatieIowa23 replied to abbabask's topic in Texas

    Does anyone know if Dell Children's is affiliated with University of Texas or another academic institution? What are the other Children's Hospitals in the Central Texas region?

12. About Saunders NCLEX study guide

    KatieIowa23 replied to HeatherTN's topic in General Students

    Definitely go with the Comprehensive study guide! I'm using it and it's great. It's definitely worth it.

13. did questions in saunders what other study tips does anyone have?

    KatieIowa23 replied to jewelsgirl24's topic in NCLEX

    Does anyone know what qualifies as a "post"? For example, does my reply to this thread count as a "post" or do I have to start a new topic to have it count? I too am starting Suzanne's plan and I'm working on the 15 legitimate posts. I was just confu...

    KatieIowa23 replied to justme1972's topic in Post Graduate

    The University of Iowa College of Nursing graduate programs no longer require GRE scores.

    KatieIowa23 replied to Cayis's topic in NCLEX

    It doesn't matter what number number of questions you get. You're chances of passing are the same no matter what the number is! Best of luck!
