  1. How much did you earn your first year?

    I responded to this post a couple of months ago when I didn't have a job. I have one now! yay! I'm working at a surgery center in the Bronx, NY and I'm making $33/hr. I don't have health insurance for 3 months so not as much is getting taken out of m...
  2. How much did you earn your first year?

    I live in NYC, so I think because of the cost of living here the salary is more. Unfortunately, I'm not working yet because most of the hospitals here are either on a hiring freeze, or they're looking for experienced. The one hospital I interviewed ...
  3. New Grad Job Blues

    I'm in the same positions as you. I see this post is from November. Have you been able to find anything yet?
  4. Nursing Grad still looking for a job

    Thanks for the advice, inland18mempire! I have been able to call some recruiters, and I've left messages. Sometimes I think they have a number for external calls and they just let it go to voicemail. They never pick up. It's hard to get the hospital ...
  5. Nursing Grad still looking for a job

    Luckyfortune, Thanks for writing! Actually, I was thinking of moving to SF after I graduated. Because I had some minor surgery I decided to delay my move. I was hoping to move some time later this year. I really love SF and have been there a lot in t...

  9. Graduation Day

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had my final on Monday night. We had to wait for hours afterward and then one by one we went into our prof's office to find out if we passed or failed the class. I was shaking so bad! I went in and when she showed...
  10. Hesi Exit Exam-RN exit exam

    I just took mine yesterday. It was a requirement to take before graduation but it didn't matter what you got on it. We took it 2 days after our final so I can speak for myself that my brain was fried! I got a 749 and I was trying not to fall asleep d...
  11. 3 hours of studying per class hour???

    I agree with those who have replied that it depends on the kind of person you are, the professor you have, and how you do on the 1st exam. I have worked a full time job since prerequisites. This past semester was my last and it was the hardest. After...
