2. Endorsement Question

   ACow replied to xsmashBSN_RN's topic in Pennsylvania

   I just recently did this but I was licensed in CT. I first submitted on nursys the information they needed. Submitted online application for endorsement out of state. Sent my transcript. And then took a PA child abuse course. I believe that was it.

3. Arrghhh! I let my PA RN license expire!

   ACow replied to MyToeHurts's topic in Pennsylvania

   That is probably the greatest news. I would rob a bamk before sitting for that exam.

4. Arrghhh! I let my PA RN license expire!

   ACow replied to MyToeHurts's topic in Pennsylvania

   You may have to resit the NCLEX. I also have a CT license and I think between 60-90 days if you do not renew it you are required to resit. But call up just incase!

5. Conneticut hospitals and BSNs

   ACow replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Connecticut

   Norwalk hospital requires BSN. I think Stamford hospital does as well but not positive.

6. How Long for CT License?

   ACow replied to PacoUSA's topic in Connecticut

   I think the time it takes all depends on how well the other state's BON works. I just got my PA license by endorsement from CT and it took less than a month. I heard people from other states trying to get their PA license by endorsement took between...

7. What to do before my NCLEX test?? Getting started as nurse in PA

8. Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest

   ACow replied to Whit88's topic in Pennsylvania

   I believe after the orientation you have to work at least a year before you can jump into the critical care residency. Which unlike the new grad one, you may enter at any point in time. At least that was my impression.

10. AL Girl Moving to CT, HELP

    ACow replied to hw19's topic in Connecticut

    Yale - New Haven I have heard doesn't hire new grads often. I heard they post the residency page when they are ready for the next cohort. Greenwich Hopsital, part of the Yale system, does hire new grads. Stamford Hospital has a nurse residency progra...

11. Help! Nursing / Sonography & Transferring Schools

    ACow replied to apugay's topic in Career Support

    When I first applied to universities I was denied the school of nursing but was accepted as a Health Science Major. After a semester you could transfer into nursing, but they also recommended to wait a year because people don't always have the best g...

    ACow replied to loveteenamarie's topic in Career Support

    I just began the job hunt as well! So I don't know how helpful my comments may be. But I did land an interview. One step closer to a job! In my cover letter I had put a little blurb about my professional goal. I know you have how you are planning to...

13. PACU on call

    ACow replied to Bap9762's topic in Career Support

    I was in the PACU for my preceptorship, I loved perioperative care. My only concern with it was what happens if you want to change and go back to a floor? I felt it was its own specialty in which you lose the basic nursing skills (like those lovely f...
