Hello everyone! I'm looking into beginning to study for the PCCN. Bought the mometrix PCCN exam secrets already (honestly just because it was the first thing that popped up when I typed in PCCN on amazon at 3am and had good reviews). It seems like theres a lot of people here who've used the Nicole Kupchik review books and course and liked those too. I'm trying to decide between purchasing that course or purchasing the PCCN review course through AACN since it's cheaper but can't find any reviews on if its worth it or not. Can anyone speak to if one is better than the other? Should I just splurge for the Nicole Kupchik package with review course and study guide/question books? Thanks!

Mine did too ? Oh well.. better luck next time I guess lol. Two more new grad spots opened up so I guess I'll shoot for those now! Med/Surg and Emergency, in case you haven't seen yet! Good luck on the job hunt!

Maybe they're planning on starting in September or later in August then? Hopefully we hear some good news soon! Good luck to you ?

Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone has applied to the Surg/Onc PCU position for Aug/Sept. My application status changed to "Referred to Hiring Department" over a week ago.. starting to get antsy! Anyone know what the timeline is like after the status change? Or the likelihood of actually getting an interview?

Has anyone heard from mother-baby/postpartum at all??

My status still says "under review" and I haven't gotten any emails yet either.. going to try to remain hopeful in the meantime ? Sucks though

Hi everyone! I also applied as an external candidate! Hoping for any position except oncology! My application just changed this afternoon to "under hiring manager review", so my fingers are crossed for some positive news soon. Good luck everyone!

I was also postpartum for my practicum, maybe I’ll call tomorrow to inquire if they’re hiring this year if @sjtdavis doesn’t know! It’d be nice to know one way or another..

Mine preceptorship was in Mother-Baby/Prenatal, but they said they'd also consider me for ICU since I did extra hours outside of school in the Burn/Trauma ICU. I'd prefer the ICU, but we shall see!

Yeah I just did some digging in another thread for the people who applied for the spring 2019 program and it looks like they all route at once and then you can get a call anytime between now and either of the program start dates.. so maybe not until October ?

Hi everyone! I also applied to the residency program for this fall! Mine just switched to "routed" today! Keeping my fingers crossed for a phone call now ? Also curious to know if they all switch to routed or if its on an individual applicant basis.. a little confused by the top part that says "This page displays current job status of each recruitment and does not necessarily reflect the status of your application." Kinda makes it seem like they all switch at once, but who knows. Also, when I spoke with nurse recruitment prior to applying, they said they base the unit you're "applying" to on where your senior preceptorship was.

Hey @Mursthetics can you possibly also send me more info on how you managed to endorse over to CA so quickly!! Originally from CA, but in an ABSN program in Maine and will graduate in May. I will be taking the NCLEX here in Maine hopefully in mid-June so that I don't have to wait as long to sit for the exam. However, everything I see says it will still take 2-3 months to endorse over.. so I'm very curious in the process you went through! Any advice is appreciated ? Planning on applying for the UC Davis residency program application period that opens in May!

Is it worth it to pay the extra $100 and apply for the temporary license, as far as timeliness goes, for licensure by endorsement? Provided you're able to do the LiveScan fingerprinting. I'm going to be transferring my license from ME to CA in June and would like to start working/applying for jobs as a new grad ASAP and just don't know if it's actually worth it or not.

Hi angief11, they told me that it was about $70,000 total for tuition! Of course I'm sure there are other fees too so that's not the total cost but it took me like 2 weeks just to get that info from them.. I'm not sure what the actual total cost is though. Hope that helps a little bit at least!

Hey! Congratulations! Ryan had the same problem with the page so I'm not sure what's wrong. Try this link maybe it'll work.. I also made the group open so maybe that will help. Log into Facebook | Facebook "University of New England ABSN Class of 2019" is the name of the page, there's only 3 of us so far! You can also just add me as a friend if you want! My name is Haylie Henderson!
