I graduate form my ASN program in December 2019. I am trying do my rn to bsn the summer of 2020. If I take a break, I know I wont be excited to go back. Plus I feel like nursing school will be still kind of fresh on my mind. I'm sure the rn to bsn pr...

They said 24.68. Now I am not 100% certain if this is including critical care pay but that offer is even low for a medsurg nurse. I was thinking maybe 25 or even 26 for critical care pay.

I haven't and neither has the people in my cohort. Tbh I doubt we hear from them this week. Hopefully next week though. Their hiring process is EXTREMELY slow.

Thank you! I'm not sure what my clinical is like for my last semester. Hopefully we do get to choose or if not, I'm on a unit that I will want to work on. I guess I underestimated how early I have to actually start applying to residency programs.
I see a post about Grady's summer 2019 residency program but not one for the upcoming winter. I also saw that the summer application was posted on Grady's site on Feb 15, 2019 which means that the winter application may be up in August or September o...
I am going into my last semester of my ASN program. I currently work at hospital but don't get to really participate in a lot of direct patient care. Majority of the people in my cohort have medical experience (EMT, RT, CNA, PCT, and even nurse exte...
