2. Online CRNA Programs

   Royal_RN replied to ZackFlightRN's topic in SRNA

   To my knowledge, you will not find a single CRNA program that is mostly online. At most, some programs have the first semester or two with mostly online courses if they are front loaded (carry-over benefit from COVID times). That means maybe 4-9 mont...

5. Sick of hearing there are NO jobs?!

   Royal_RN replied to Royal_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I appreciate your feedback. The reason I posted this was to seek other points of view as well as discuss what seems to be more or less whining (for lack of a better word), rather than valid complaints. To elaborate, many of the "complaint posts" I se...

   Royal_RN replied to Royal_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the feedback and yes...saturated would make much more sense, wouldn't it! I tend to agree that it may be hard to move out of state. I moved out of state as well and my employer offered a delayed relocation stipend. Regardless, my though...

7. Sick of hearing there are NO jobs?!

   Royal_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Am I alone or are there other nurses out there, new and experienced, sick of hearing newly graduated nurses say there are no jobs out there, especially now during COVID? I just saw another post on LinkedIn of a new graduate RN complaining (in disguis...

12. Duke New Grad Residency Summer 2020

    Royal_RN replied to Royal_RN's topic in Job Hunt

    I interviewed in January and actually received my offer by email from the recruiter by the end of the same day. I did not apply to the CTICU however, so every unit may do things differently. Also, based on what I've seen, people receive offers within...

    Royal_RN replied to Royal_RN's topic in Job Hunt

    Very nice. Best of luck! I interviewed/shadowed in January and really enjoyed the whole experience, especially the shadow component. I would think of some questions not only for the interview, but also for the floor nurses. The nurse I shadowed was v...
