Qtp2t RN

I am an Army Reserve Nurse. I serve as a member of a Combat Support Hospital. Nurses take on differently roles in different settings based on the branch of the Military. I don't see mention of the Army Reserves in your post, but if you would like inf...

Wait a minute, Ajax! I'm an Army Reservist, who took the $50K Loan Repayment bonus 3 years ago (Feb 2010, to be exact) and was boarded for LTHET in Nov 2012. I got picked up for USAGPAN and will make the transition to Active Duty this Spring in order...

Hello, everyone! I've been lurking around here for the past 6 weeks or so, hoping to see more posts as it neared time for the board to conviene. Were any of you granted the required dual acceptance by Northeastern and the Army/LTHET? I have yet to ...

Hello, cjpol, vtrobinson, and chudder! I'm an Army Reservist who's been accepted by Northeastern Univ, but OML'd by the Army for LTHET. I'm unsure about whether I'll be joining the USAGPAN class beginning Summer 2013 or Summer 2014, but either way, I...

Hi everyone!! I have my first interview as a new grad RN this Wednesday for a telemetry position. I graduated from nursing school back in September and passed NCLEX at the beginning on December, but have had no luck at all in getting so much as a ca...

Hi Everyone! Can anybody tell me what new grad RNs are getting paid in Princeton or the surrounding areas? I'm familiar with the new grad pay rate for many of the Philadelphia area hospitals, but am clueless about Princeton and have expanded my searc...

Hi all, Can anyone provide any information at all about St. Mary Medical Center's orientation or new grad pay rate, or even about the work environment? The campus is gorgeous, but I really know nothing about the hospital but that it's one of the few ...

Hi everyone!! I have my first OR interview as a new grad RN tomorrow for a position in a 6-7 month OR training program at a local university medical center. I just received a phone call from the nurse recruiter about an hour ago requesting the inter...

BTW, AllAngelsRN was right about the new grad pay.

Hi NHurleyRN, I believe Princeton is still hiring. They keep their employment page pretty up to date and there are plenty of postings for RNs at the moment. Check out https://jobs-princetonhcs.icims.com/jobs/intro. I honestly do not know how difficul...

Hi puddingpie! Yes, I'm still at Princeton and it's great! I'm currently only in the didactic portion of my training and will remain in the classroom for another 4 weeks, then it'll be time to being learning how to apply all that new knowledge during...

Wow! I just realized my last post sounded like I already plan on leaving this job at the end of my contract. Lol! That is absolutely not how I intended it to come out. I was told by some of my coworkers today that if I can make it in Princeton as an...

Thanks, AllAngelsRN! I've decided to accept a position in the OR training program. On Monday, I will be asked to sign an employment contract promising 2 years of employment following completion of the Periop 101 training course and at least 4.5 month...

Congratulations, 4Jen, RN!!!! Isn't that such a great feeling!? Enjoy it and treat yourself. You worked hard for this! :anpom::dancgrp: :anpom: ~Cathy :heartbeat

Hello Everyone! Let me preface this by telling you that I am a New Grad RN. I took up nursing school as a 2nd degree student (previous degree is a B.A. in Foreign Languages and International Business) after spending 4 years in sales, marketing, and ...

Thanks whykiki0103! My reasoning for going through telemetry is that I really don't see myself spending the entirety of my career in the OR. With this being the case, I'm afraid it may not be my best move to go directly into the OR as a new grad. Thi...

Thank you for your reply, subee. My biggest fear is that I would eventually decide that I wanted to be a floor nurse and would have difficulty transitioning, or even worse - difficulty in finding a NM willing to give me the opportunity to make that ...

Thanks, MamaCheese! I about fell on floor laughing when I read your comment about being able to program a VCR! :chuckle The interview went really well and they called me less than 2 hours after I left to offer me the position. My biggest concern is ...

Nothing yet. Still keeping my fingers cross. Just trying to keep myself occupied and hoping they put me out of my misery on Monday. :wink2: The waiting game is the worst part of this whole process!

Thanks, darimom! Yes, things are tough, especially in finding someone willing to take a chance on a new grad. I'm truly sorry to hear that you are having such a problem getting in to the unit you had hoped for. I'm sure that's very disheartening to h...

Hi NocturneNrse & whykiki0103! I just wanted to thank you again for your words of encouragement. I had my interview at 10am yesterday and it seemed to go extremely well. I interviewed with the hiring manager only, and it lasted for 2 hours! She g...

Hi PlaneFlyerRN & LaurelRN08! I just wanted to thank you again for your suggestions. I had my interview at 10am yesterday and it seemed to go extremely well. I interviewed with the hiring manager only, and it lasted for 2 hours! She gave me a tou...

first of all, congratulations on your pregnancy!!! i had a friend in nursing school who was about 2.5 months pregnant with her 2nd child at our graduation and was having an awful time getting through that last quarter of the program. she had terrible...

I would suggest buying 2 sets of scrub pants, 2 scrub tops, & 1 lab coat. You will have clinical 3 days a week throughout most of the program. One set is never enough, & 3 is overkill. By the end of the program they will be faded, stained, &a...
