3. Who else is a 2-year RN new grad at a Magnet Hospital??

   indreams84 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Just thought I'd see who else is all in a new RN program at a magnet hospital? I was only 2 of 16 nurses hired on at a level 1 Trauma/Teaching hospital (Froedtert, Milwaukee WI) that has a 2 year ADN. Seems as though the other 14 couldn't beleive me ...

5. Anxious about upcoming Nclex Rn exam,Need suggestion

   indreams84 replied to pinky26's topic in NCLEX

   Kaplan, Kaplan, Kaplan. I passed on first attempt and it was Guaranteed. Though I would caution to be very serious about studying very hard and thorough before 2nd attempt as I believe the % passing drops another quarter (at least in WI)..in other wo...

6. New Grad - ICU or L&D

   indreams84 replied to wobbles007's topic in General Nursing

   Um, no one knows what you would truly enjoy except YOU. Those are such two different areas that there is no comparison. Advice from people who don't actually know you isn't going to be very helpful. You just have to try one area, if you find yourself...

8. New Grad positions, is anyone in WI hiring?

   indreams84 replied to settinggirl's topic in Wisconsin

   As a recent new grad who was a nurse intern at kenosha memorial hospital aka kmcc, I can tell you that interns make about 14 an hour and then 23.75 as a GN/RN. I would recommend united over wheaton/aurora personally though as I found the staff and pr...

    @ luv2b_a_nurs, I was a Kenosha graduate with experience in a critical care unit as a SNI. I was told that this is a reason I was considered over other 4 year nursing grads.

11. Nursing school students problem.is it racism???

    indreams84 replied to finegirl's topic in General Students

    Actually you sound like the racist one here. Its minorities that come in with an attitude and defensiveness that feel 'persecuted' that tend to fail (at least acouple did in my program)....I think that as a male in nursing, I am considered a minortiy...

13. Do you like ER or ICU better?

    indreams84 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Emergency

    I disagree....I worked in a CCU as a student nurse intern and we had a former ER nurse that was always on TOP of the code situations. Not to detract from ICU at all, as I intend on going back once I get my 1 year experience as a brand new ER GN :) bu...

    indreams84 replied to alli521's topic in Wisconsin

15. Moving to MKE, how's the market?

    indreams84 replied to BeckiRN's topic in Wisconsin

    I graduated with my ADN a week and a half ago and have a friend who got hired STRAIGHT INTO their SICU with NO prior acute hospital experience ..pretty happy for her. She must have blown away the manager, HR, etc. or had a great resume. I sent an app...
