Hey guys. So I'm in my first year as an RN, BSN in a town five hours from home. I'm living alone for the first time ever in a good sized apartment (~800 sqft). I'm really wanting to find an Australian shepherd puppy, but I'm not sure what to do duri...

I'm living about 20 minutes away from my hospital so prices aren't as expensive for more sqft. Also, I have yet to find a reputable breeder without insane prices for puppies so I haven't gotten my puppy yet. I still want to find a puppy but probably ...

Go with your school policy definitely. I wore a pair of white leather Nikes for school. I now wear either my older nike running shoes I don't mind getting dirty or my pair of black converse. I'm trying to figure out if I should find a new pair of sh...

Is the onboarding portal giving anyone else an error message? I've been getting it for a couple days, but want to make sure I'm not the only one before emailing them.

Yes, neuro or spinal were my top choices for the adult surgical track. However, I really wanted pediatrics originally.

I also found out my placement and I'll be in the Neurology/Epilepsy unit!! I'm super excited and cannot wait!! I was getting a little nervous about everything, but being placed in neuro has eased my nerves quite a bit and honestly I cannot wait to be...

The links for direct deposit setup and parking are either not working or telling me access is denied. I also can't access the on boarding portal anymore for some reason.

Is anyone's links for all the on boarding stuff not working or showing that access is denied for some things?

@ madRNBSNfer Are you planning on getting a roommate?

If you have a multistage license, you should be able to practice in TN for 90 days and just have to fill out the primary residence form. Call the TN BON tomorrow and they should be able to direct you in exactly what you need to do.

I originally thought I was because my license is in Georgia, which is in the enhanced Nurse License Compact, but because my primary address is in Alabama my license is single state only. However the endorsement for TN requires you to fill out their a...

I was able to fill out the application and everything in one day. It took some scrambling around town, but it's definitely worth it. When I called the TN BON they said it takes about 6 weeks for everything to go through....so if you get it done quick...

Pretty sure I want to live with someone too. Coming home to only my pets on hard days and not another person would get quite lonely after a while. I definitely would like to live close enough to walk or use public transit, but right now I don't think...

The NCLEX is a national test so it does not matter what state you take it in. You can also apply to any state board of nursing. Just contact that board of nursing first to make sure what their procedure/policy is.

Hey everyone, New RN here who could use some advice on preparing for my first job! I graduated 2 months ago and passed my NCLEX last month. Now I have about a month and a half before I start my first job as a real live nurse! Since passing my NCLEX l...

I got licensed in GA first and am now having to be endorsed by TN. It takes 6-8 weeks for the endorsement to be processed. You might as well go ahead and get licensed in TN if you are for sure going to work in Tennessee. It will definitely save you l...

I've started looking online right now. I'm going up there next week and sitting down with an apartment locator and will hopefully find my apartment then. Unless we get added to the "Facebook group" that is apparently happening and then I'm just going...

Has anyone heard anything about a timeline for when the Facebook page will be created? I was told "in October" during my interview. I'm starting in November and am kind of getting slightly antsy about where I'm going to live and whether or not I will...

Georgia is part of the enhanced Nurse License Compact. I think I should be good for the first 90 days. I just have to figure out the process for it being endorsed by TN. I emailed them yesterday and am waiting to hear something back. Are y'all plann...

Anyone know when they are making the Facebook group? Also, does anyone starting in Nov know what we need to do if our license is in a state other than TN? I have mine currently in GA and need to transfer/get it endorsed by TNBON.

If your offer said Float pool, that may be an option for that track. I would just email Mrs. Fargo and ask just to make sure!

I don't believe the float pool was an options for the NRP. The "Tracks" they offer are basically just a group of units that are similar to each other. During orientation, we do rotate to the different to get a better idea of which unit we fit in with...

I was called the day after I interviewed and was offered the position for the Adult Acute Surgery Track. They emailed me the full offer either later that day or the next day and gave me a week to decide if I wanted the job.

Reviewing meds/materials, buying supplies, etc? Stuff like that......or if anyone has found any neat/interesting articles about starting the first nursing job

Those of y'all who have accepted an offer, are y'all doing anything to prepare for the job?
