Anyone that was waitlisted, did you get accepted into the program?

My application status on NursingCas still says verified. Anyone else received interview invite? or status update?

How would I know if my references received an email from NursingCas for recommendation?

Hi guys, these might be dumb questions: where do I put names for recommendation letter and how do I know what school uses to send transcripts? Do I have to pay for these transcripts? Thank you!

I didn’t apply to RFU last cycle. this will be my first time applying. Trying to get in my application as early as I can.

Does anyone know if I upload transcripts to NursingCas before application open date, can I transfer that to my application or should I wait until the application opens up? TIA! I am planning on applying to RFU.

Has anyone heard anything? Is Northshore done sending out interview invites?

Anyone else heard back from Northshore?

Does anyone know how long does it usually take it to hear back from them?

For those who are in school or applying to CRNA school, what type of extracurricular activities did you guys do? What helped you stand out in your application?

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear when I asked this question. I meant to ask do people have 2nd job and if yes, what kind of nursing or non-nursing job? Eveyone on here, I did not ask anyone how to fill my life nor am I sick of my friends. I was only asking if someone had any interesting idea. I was under the impression that this forum is all about helping eachother, not embarrass anyone for asking for suggestions.

??? @NICU Guy Ive never just sat around and I’m bored out of my mind rightnow. And I did all that and I’m still bored.

Hi Everyone, I am a new grad and work full time. Does anyone have any advice on what they do on their days off? I am single and don't have any obligations. Any advice would be appreciated?

Congratulations on graduating and having multiple offers! I'd pick bigger hospital because at bigger hospital you'll get to see alot and gain more experience. With that experience, you can also transfer to ICU. My commute is an hour long and I love the hospital I work at. If you don't have any other obligations, then I'd pick the bigger hospital.

I used to work as a tech where nurses have overutilized their techs. Many times it’s the environment and thinking process nurses have. I’ve had nurses tell me I didn’t go to nursing school to wipe people’s butt or I have charting to do everytime patient had an accident. I’ve worked with nurses who won’t even grab a pitcher of water from across the hall for patients or take them to bathroom while they’re in the room with patients. So I would suggest that you talk to the nurse politely and bring up the concerns. Or Explain how the ED environment is different than Medsurg/psych.

Thank you AGRN 152. Your response was really informative. Usually, when can you take CCRN? I am thinking of getting at least 2.5 years of experience. Also, I have 2nd undergraduate degree in biochemistry, but I didn't do well in my 1st degree. Do you know if schools look at other degrees along with nursing degree?

Thank you for replying. I am planning on shadowing CRNA more than once and hopefully take GRE in few months.

Hi Everyone, I just started working in the ICU as a new grad. My end goal is to become CRNA. I want to apply to DNP programs. Can someone tell me when should I apply to CRNA programs and what are some good resources to study for GRE? Any other tips would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Thank you everyone!!

Hi everyone, i recently started working and after working 13 hours my feet hurt like hell. Any suggestions type of shoes I should buy?

Thank you everyone! I’ll definitely reach out to HR again.

Hi Everyone, this might sound like a stupid question. I’ll be starting my first job as RN in few weeks. My HR recruiter didn’t tell me my shift differential, she said I’ll see it on my paycheck. I’ll be working nightshift 7pm- 7am. My question: does shift differential differ from 7-11pm and 11pm-7am or is it just one differential from 7-7am. The reason I ask because a friend of mine got a job at different hospital and she was told her differential from 7-11pm and 11-7am.

Thank you everyone for feedback! Do you guys have any tips on making earning some money after six months?

Hi everyone, I just graduated and will be starting in ICU residency program. I am thinking of getting a per diem (registry) position to helpout will bills. Is that a good idea? If yes,what kind of places hires new grads as per diem? thank you!

Thank you everyone for great tips! I am in nursing residency program that includes class time and will be given books as well!
