    BeccaznRN replied to NurseSN45696's topic in Government, Military

    Job market for a new grad or experienced nurse? If you are looking as a new grad, expect slim picking everywhere. You will have a greater chance picking up a new grad position in rural areas (if this...

  2. Who is hiring newly licensed RNs in Missouri right now (2014)?

    BeccaznRN replied to amber_energy_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is the reality of the job market in STL: https://allnurses.com/nursing-first-job/help-new-grad-901536.html My best advice is to look at rural hospitals or non-acute settings. It was said that BJC...

  3. L&D nursing an NICU

    BeccaznRN replied to cxe008's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, it's possible! I started as a new grad in L&D - after my first year, I was cross-trained to float to our NICU to take stable grower/feeder assignments. This is how I discovered my love of...

  4. UMSL vs Chamberlain

    BeccaznRN replied to chuchi89's topic in General Nursing

    That is where Chamberlain gets their students - those that don't want to wait. You'll get into Chamberlain right away, but it will cost you WAY more than a traditional school. Chamberlain is owned by...

  5. Tactical Nudity and Other Fun Aspects of Deployed Army Nursing

    BeccaznRN replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    I had to share with my hubby (a Seabee) what you wrote - I got a big grin and a fist pump in return! =) Thank you for your sacrifices, and stay safe over

  6. Job Market for New Grad RNs in St. Louis?

    BeccaznRN replied to bostonRN2013's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can go wrong by coming with your hubby to Scott. Nursing job markets are tough everywhere, but I truly think you would be able to land a new grad job much easier in STL than in...

  7. Best Nursing Program in STL?

    BeccaznRN replied to courtney.lee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an UMSL graduate and have nothing but good things to say about the program - NCLEX pass rates are very high and faculty is top-notch. And although it's not super cheap, it IS one of the more...

  8. Moving to STL

    BeccaznRN replied to nlsRN2012's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome! I am actually in Germany right now - I have a military husband that I tool around with. This is most likely our last tour, so we're going out in style by traveling Europe. We're...

  9. Moving to STL

    BeccaznRN replied to nlsRN2012's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome! St. Louis is a fabulous city, and an added plus if you want to be an urban dweller is that by working at Jefferson Barracks, you will be going against the traffic if you are working daytime...

  10. Any former L&D nurses out there?

    BeccaznRN replied to airwin.rnc's topic in Pediatric

    I agree! My clients are all voluntary and they really do put in the effort to become better parents and improve their situations. It's nice to see them in their own settings and to have interactions...

  11. Any former L&D nurses out there?

    BeccaznRN replied to airwin.rnc's topic in Pediatric

    My story is nearly identical to Monkeybug. I started as a new grad in L&D, transferred to NICU, and now do home visits for families prenatal through age 3. My current position was mostly for...

  12. military spouse Germany

    BeccaznRN replied to odos's topic in Government, Military

    Jobs for spouses in Germany are tough to come by. I'm in Stuttgart and I lucked out by getting a job within three months of arriving, but I'm with the New Parent Support Program. I briefly attempted...

  13. CA Nursing License via Endorsement from Missouri

    BeccaznRN replied to tsipareht's topic in California Nursing

    I dug this info up from an old post of mine (because my memory is NOT that good after six years): I graduated from nursing school in Missouri on Dec. 16. My school sent all of my application forms,...

  14. CA Nursing License via Endorsement from Missouri

    BeccaznRN replied to tsipareht's topic in California Nursing

    TheCommuter is spot-on. I graduated from UMSL - applied for RN licensure via exam through the state of California without ever getting a license in Missouri. Very easy

  15. Current Student. Questions for experienced nurses :)

    BeccaznRN replied to ama3t's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was also wondering what DOMA is. In my opinion, certifications such as NRP or ACLS are not helpful for new grads to stand out at hiring time. It seems as if everyone gets these certifications to...

  16. Lactation consulting

    BeccaznRN replied to weamish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did my education through UCSD extension (VERY highly recommended). What exactly is turning into a nightmare with your

  17. Nursing with a felony???

    BeccaznRN replied to Jaclyn9's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You may want to check with the school you are interested in and the Missouri State Board of Nursing to get answers directly from the sources. Here's a link toget you started:...

  18. PCS orders Air Force Wife

    BeccaznRN replied to panchie2me's topic in Government, Military

    Overseas employment is extremely difficult for experienced nurses and next to impossible for new graduates. You could always arrange contacts with the medical facility at Misawa Air Base to get...

  19. military wife, pre-nursing student

    BeccaznRN replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, most (if not all) schools in California are impacted for the nursing major, meaning the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of spaces available. Each school may vary, but...

  20. military wife, pre-nursing student

    BeccaznRN replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    Funny, Jilly! It's so difficult for military spouses to attend nursing school because it's not a program that can be completed online and there's usually some sort of waiting list involved. I think...

  21. military wife, pre-nursing student

    BeccaznRN replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    My situation was similar to JillyRN's - I opted to return to my home state and stay with my parents to finish up the final two years of my pre-licensure BSN while hubby stayed behind. He was...

  22. Need help with how to round on unit as manager......

    BeccaznRN replied to enzati's topic in Nurse Management

    My last nurse manager would consistently come in 1-2x per week at 5:30a to see us night shifters and spend a little time talking to each of us informally on the unit (NICU) to see how everything was...

  23. Need Help ASAP California RN'S

    BeccaznRN replied to Frank91898's topic in California Nursing

    Agreed. Especially when you won't be able to continue your education and will be stuck with a dead-end ADN degree. I suspect that this is a for-profit school.....my entire BSN education was about...

    BeccaznRN replied to KaylaNelson07's topic in Government, Military

  25. Military Spouse RN

    BeccaznRN replied to tortorRN's topic in Government, Military

    I am a RN with a military spouse that just started a three-year tour here in Germany. I will go ahead and say that it is VERY difficult to find jobs overseas for any spouse in any field. It's not...
