   No, I have an ADN. That's why I asked if orgogeek had a BSN because Elmhurst usually puts "BSN preferred" on their job posts. Ahhh! I hope I get a call sometime soon! I'm already starting to pay back my loans.

   sayang87 replied to orgo geek's topic in New York

   I just google searched it and it came up. It comes in pdf format so you can print it out. I just used a spare notebook and answered every question they have there in it. I think that's all you can really do since you don't know what they'll ask. I su...

    My friend had her ppd done by her school but was unable to get there to have it read so they told her to have an RN or her doctor read it. Of course, she thought of me since I just became licensed as an RN in March and she asked me if I could read it...

13. Devastated.

    sayang87 replied to sayang87's topic in New Nurse

    Yes, that's exactly what happened. I wish she just said "I'm sorry, we don't currently have any openings for new graduates with ADNs" and ended it there.... Thanks for the support. That phone call was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back...
