    Wow, that's incredible. I would have about 150 job offers right now if that were the case for

  2. What will you do after floor nursing?

    JeanettePNP replied to Blouis's topic in General Nursing

    I had all kinds of ideas for what I was going to do "after" floor nursing... but for now I'm having trouble even getting into floor nursing to start with. So all those grand plans will have to

  3. Memorial Sloan Kettering- interview help

    JeanettePNP replied to mcpnurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you a new grad? How did you get called for an interview? Did you apply online or in

  4. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    JeanettePNP replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    No, I don't regret going to nursing school. I hate, hate hate the job search process though and I feel like quitting. No more sending out apps, no more cold calling, no more waiting for the phone to...

  5. New RN salary in Doctor's Offices

    JeanettePNP replied to sayang87's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you should answer the question honestly. If you really wouldn't consider anything lower than $26, then say so. You could also say something like "I'm looking for $26-27, but I'd consider...

  6. New RN salary in Doctor's Offices

    JeanettePNP replied to sayang87's topic in New York Nursing

    Right now I'm in NYC and making about $20/hr at my non-nursing job. I thought switching to nursing would give me more career opportunities and better pay. But for now I'm sticking to my old job. I'm...

  7. Excessive nursing applicants everywhere!

    JeanettePNP replied to ready2getoutofCT's topic in Maryland Nursing

    This topic comes up periodically, and honestly I don't think some people have more of a "right" to be nurses just because they've wanted it for longer or feel they have a bigger heart. The way the...

  8. Calling Unit Managers Directly--good idea or not?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is it a good idea for job-seeking nurses to call unit managers directly to ask for a job? Or show up on the unit they want to work at, resume in hand? I guess you have nothing to lose -- the worst...

  9. To the unemployed new grads... what ARE you doing?

    JeanettePNP replied to BigB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a job as an editor that I kept throughout nursing school, and I'm still doing that. I also started doing more blogging and more creative writing. I volunteer once a week in pediatric LTC and...

  10. Calling Unit Managers Directly--good idea or not?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are making the assumption that what worked for you will work for everyone, and anyone who doesn't try the one thing that worked for you is "wasting their time" and "doesn't really want a job."...

  11. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    JeanettePNP replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    Last year my school's pass rate was 86%, which is around the state average. The stats for this year aren't posted yet, but a lot of students in my class opted out of having their results reported to...

  12. Notes for new graduates

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think it's so ridiculous to be reluctant to call unit managers directly. they tend to be busy and may not welcome your call. But I'm going to make a separate thread about

  13. Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

    JeanettePNP replied to strawberryluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly I'm getting a little tired of the onslaught of posts asking why we need to know this or that to be nurses. Heck, if it's too much trouble for you to learn there are hundreds of nurses ready...

  14. Was it hard for any of you to learn the organ systems & functions?

    JeanettePNP replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's great that you're pre-studying even before registering for the class. That's what I did; I must have read the A&P textbook at least 3 times before class started and got A's in all my...

    Can someone explain the criteria for a winning article? Is it based on reader votes? Who chooses the

  16. Nurses: If jobs were equally abundant in America, where would you most want to work?

    JeanettePNP replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    Mid-Atlantic states.. Virginia or North Carolina. Somewhere coastal and beautiful. Friendly relaxed people, south but not deep south, low cost of

  17. New Grad Dilemma: Best experience for 1st time position only in hospital?

    JeanettePNP replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

    Some experience is still better than no experience. You may have your ideal job in mind and certainly you should pursue pursue it, but if you can't get a hospital job it's better to take some other...

  18. Notes for new graduates

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It really depends on where you're living and like I said in the OP, not everyone has an identical situation and can expect taht what worked for them will work for everyone else and vice versa. Many...

  19. Just started with agency now banned from regular hire

    JeanettePNP replied to newtress's topic in Agency Nurses

    I wonder the same thing... what nurse recruiters are doing these days to earn their keep when they're more focused on keeping applicants OUT than bringing them in. However, they also do the hiring for...

  20. What is the least amount you would work for as a RN?

    JeanettePNP replied to K.Jamison, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I make about $20/hr now at my non-nursing job (which i will keep until I find RN work, and maybe even after if I can only find part time.) I would have to be compensated at least $25-30 to make a...

  21. Do I have to take History to be a nurse.

    JeanettePNP replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I always hated history in high school... but as an adult study of history grew on me, for the reasons sharpiemom explained. So many of our current issues/crises have their roots in the past. For...

  22. Notes for new graduates

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A lot of new grad residencies have that 6 month expiration date... and want you to start applying when you're in your last semester of nursing school. I missed a few deadlines for programs that...

    JeanettePNP replied to linguine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did 2/3 while in school. Won't say which. Oh, and I assisted with the

  24. Nurse residency-should this be mandatory?

    JeanettePNP replied to linguine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Right. And if we were assigned a patient that had some disease process we had not covered yet, that wasn't accepted as an excuse for not knowing what to look for or not knowing their meds. Example, my...

    JeanettePNP replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats, soon-to-be-not-jobless-new grad!!! I had a nurse recruiter express mild interest in interviewing me for a possible opening in January... but not letting myself get my hopes up yet. Maybe the...
