  3. Graduation, Traditional or Not?

    BeccaznRN replied to Tara04's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went the traditional BSN route. We participated in the school-wide graduation ceremony with caps and gowns, and that was it. No pinning ceremony, no all-white uniform, no pictures with the nurse's...

  6. Did any new grads receive sign-on bonuses?

    BeccaznRN replied to carrieprc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It will really depend on your location. Hospitals in various counties of southern California are offering sign-on bonuses ranging from zero to $10,000. I was offered $7,500.

    BeccaznRN replied to RNfromMN's topic in Operating Room

  10. study- cram or everynight

    BeccaznRN replied to momx4's topic in General Students

    At the beginning of my nursing program, I studied every night. As I progressed, I did more cramming. I think that in the beginning students usually need more study time, because everything is brand...

    BeccaznRN replied to j&jmom's topic in General Nursing

  13. Student Nurses in Saint Louis

    BeccaznRN replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

  14. Student Nurses in Saint Louis

    BeccaznRN replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

  20. Feeling Discouraged

    BeccaznRN replied to DarciaMoonz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BeccaznRN replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having something negative on your record, such as being dismissed from a nursing program, will not look good to other nursing schools. Nursing schools want students who will complete their programs,...

    BeccaznRN replied to skyQ's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BeccaznRN replied to cardiac.cure03's topic in First Year After Licensure
