1. Johns Hopkins 2017 DNP - Advanced Practice

   ez_rn replied to WolverineRN's topic in NP Students

   There's a shuttle in mount Vernon. There's lots of shuttles because of safety. On every corner there are cops. Driving from my friends to JHU went from really nice, to sketchy as hell to sketchy to JHU.

2. Johns Hopkins 2017 DNP - Advanced Practice

   ez_rn replied to WolverineRN's topic in NP Students

   My friend said that if you look at the map as a clock face, there's an area between 12 and 1 that is considered safe. He lives in the amount Vernon area, and it's fairly pricey.

3. Johns Hopkins 2017 DNP - Advanced Practice

   ez_rn replied to WolverineRN's topic in NP Students

   I applied for the DNP-CNS, and got my acceptance on Friday. I also got into a local state school... I interviewed early March, but applied by 1/1. There was issue with my recommendations getting into the system, however. I haven't gotten my official ...

4. New Graduate nurse moving to Denver

   ez_rn replied to Nurse924's topic in Colorado

   As a new grad who moved here in 2014, I moved for a boy too. It took me almost a year post graduation (I took some time off between graduation and taking the NCLEX). It took me LOTS of applications, and one random person to have a connection at a hos...

5. ER Nurse pay Denver

   ez_rn replied to tabitha1979's topic in Colorado

   As a new graduate, I started making $24.78/hour, not including my BSN differential ($0.50/hour) and nights/weekend differential. My facility paid $1/hour for certifications as well. Moving facilities, I jumped up to about $26.75 with one year of exp...

6. Swedish Medical Center

   ez_rn replied to IVNinja300's topic in Colorado

   I know someone who does, but not a critical care area. She likes it... But they've had some turnover since the issue with the tech possibly contaminating and stealing drugs. Or so I hear.

7. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

   ez_rn replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

   Exactly. If I went in knowing the test results werent available for 6 weeks really, and paper test, or just that I didnt have the small satisfaction of getting the results almost immediately through the trick that has been around for YEARS, then I wo...

8. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

   ez_rn replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

   I should clarify, when I say freaking out.... I mean stressing internally. I wasn't supporting the whole call and complain thing.

9. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

   ez_rn replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

   I am just saying that the whole experience is different. Just like it will be different for those graduating next year too. Sure, some things are the same, but things are different too as this is an ever evolving profession. Lack of acknowledging tha...

10. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    Ive never wanted to vomit more in my life.

11. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    ez_rn replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

    While I get that seeing those of us complain about 48 hours and what not, this test is completely different. Its not, I need 60 or 80% to pass. Its not scantron. Its adaptive and so not very standardized. And, the simple fact that theyre making us w...

12. Children's Hospital Colorado RN Residency: August 2014

    ez_rn replied to X-Nurse14's topic in Colorado

    I'm starting to get a bit discouraged.... I feel bipolar over here! All sorts of excited and hopeful, then not so much. Lol

    Grats! And good luck! Which areas did you request?

14. New grad in Colorado Springs

    ez_rn replied to x28y31's topic in Colorado

    I was told by one of the hospital systems that you can't really apply there (unless it's a new grad position) until you have your license. Out of curiosity, I applied to a local hospital and was denied almost immediately. (I didn't know they looked ...

15. Children's Hospital Colorado RN Residency: August 2014

    ez_rn replied to X-Nurse14's topic in Colorado

    Having an optimistic look at things is always a great idea. I know that so many of us are really hoping for positions like this, and I wish there was room for everyone. As bad as I want a position like this, I am excited for those who may get the ...
