  1. Patients testing Covid positive AFTER admission

    This is definitely reassuring, thank you. I was a tech before the pandemic and there was a time I spent a whole day in a patient's room and 2hrs before the end of my 12 they told me the patient had...
  2. Patients testing Covid positive AFTER admission

    Thanks for this. I'm a new grad and I start my ER residency in September. I was hoping we would be in a better situation by then, but it's not looking too great. I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared. Working...
  3. Am I on the right track?

    Hi All, I am a new grad, graduating in a few days. I have been lucky enough to have been offered a position in a community hospital ED's residency program. It sounds like a really great opportunity....

    This is great insight and reinforces what the previous posters have mentioned. Thank you so much for the further
  5. How far out is NCLEX-RN scheduling? May 2020 COVID

    There's like nothing in July anywhere except Norwalk, CT. Absolutely nothing in August anywhere. There were 2 other locations in northern CT I did not look at though. There was 1 location in Brooklyn...
  6. How far out is NCLEX-RN scheduling? May 2020 COVID

    I just received my ATT today and scheduled my NCLEX. Was not expecting such an experience. Be prepared to snatch whatever date you can. It was either I take it tomorrow, in 2 weeks (which I'm not...
  7. What the heck LOL IDK this doesn't give me good feelings about the rest of the program
  8. I got a call from HR last week and missed it. They said they wanted to discuss the status of my residency application. Have been trying to call back ever since, left voicemail messages, and no...
  9. Am I on the right track?

    That's fantastic, that's exactly what I want out of a residency/fellowship. Thank you! I'm so
  10. Am I on the right track?

    Thank you for your input! Would you mind sharing your experience completing the ED fellowship? Did you "see it all"? How was the learning curve? Did you feel the fellowship really helped in...
  11. Hi, I think it's a mix! When the recruiter called, she asked what I would be interested in. I asked her what was available and she said anything. They're still working out how many new grads they're...
  12. Valley Health Fall 2020 New Grad Nurse Residency

    Hey there, I believe they have sent out offers already. I did my second round interview about a week after we sent in the video interviews, and received an offer around 4/20. Sorry you haven't heard...
  13. Am I on the right track?

    Great point! Thank you. This calms any reservations I had about the experience I would obtain from this position. Glad to know I'm on the right track
  14. Am I on the right track?

    Great, thank you so much for the insight! I am so excited to start this
  15. Am I on the right track?

    Thank you both so much for your support and input! I completely agree with both your points. I've heard many times that the ED can be too intense/too much for new grads. A community ED may be the...
  16. Hi! I applied in February and was offered a
  17. I applied and received an email with a few questions asking about my interests. It said to reply to a different email with my answers, but I never heard back from the person. It's about to be 2 weeks...
  18. Rutgers ABSN Summer 2019

    Sorry, I'd like to make a correction here for anyone else depending on this info. I believe my first day of clinical did actually start Week 1. It's the health assessment lab that started Week 2. But...
  19. Rutgers ABSN Summer 2019

    Definitely complete that ASAP, it can take some time for your background check to come in and to get your bloodwork/titers done. However, don't freak out if you don't have it completed by orientation...
  20. Rutgers ABSN Summer 2019

    Clinical starts Week 2, but you won't actually get to the hospital until like Week 9. It's all classroom stuff for the first 7ish weeks. You don't have to wear your uniforms for the classroom stuff...
  21. Rutgers ABSN Summer 2019

    The only thing that could really suck is worrying about getting to clinical on time. And if you get a clinical location very far away, like down south, it'll suck. If you want housing options, feel...

  25. Rutgers University Spring 2019 ABSN

    I don't think they would look at them. During my application process I thought I read somewhere that said not to send them in because they will not look at them. And if this is the case, it may be...
