Hello all, I am a new grad that graduated in May 2009 and that lives here in Connecticut. I personally am having a really hard time finding a job. How are the rest of the new grads doing? How much should I be asking for? Ive taken my NCLEX already an...

Hello out there fellow nurse grads. I Graduate here in less than 2 weeks and even though I have put in a lot of applications I have not even got a call back even for an interview. I was told by one of the big hospitals in COnnetiuit (even though I w...

From a newly graduate of a Diploma nurse thank you for your kind words and knowledge. Our class had 100% pass rate on the NCLEX.

The nurse recruiter will not return my calls about the residency program. :heartbeatTricia RN:heartbeat

Its funny you say this since a hospital in my area stated they only are going to hire new grads from ASN or BSN programs no diploma nurses. I was shocked I thought we were the ones that always had the best hands on experience. I guess that is not goo...

Thank you for this article you wrote. It was wonderful thinking that there are still people out there that think that diploma nurses are worth something. I graduated this last may from one of the last 3 year diploma schools left on the east coast. My...

I worked 5 years in home care and 3 years in agency before I went the route of getting my RN through a diploma program. and worked three years at the hospital that I went to school at as an SNI. I as a new grad feel completly comfortable to do agenc...

Well then It sounds like you have your ducks in a row since you shadowed someone...you know I had those moments of walking out of class and never coming back in fact I did that the first time I took Anatomy. She was an awful instructor. I walked ou...

Have you ever taken the type of test that tests your intersts? We all dream of other things maybe raising kids or being a rock star. It seems to me that you would be a good nurse because Ive read some of your other posts and you seem to have a carrin...

im glad you found it funny...when you are studding hard in those really hard nursing classes and you are feeling a little stressed out you can come back and look at this and have a nice lol.:heartbeat and believe me you will have those moments. eve...

Thank you for sharing your story...I really hope things turn around for you and you get your liscence soon. you are an inspiration for a nurse. If my husband gets stationed in Georgia maybe I will be lucky to work with someone like you... you are i...

I hope it is true for you and your fellow upcoming and future nursing students....and I do not eat my young or nursing students...but I know for a fact of people that are still on the waiting list. for Lincoln and warwick. day and evening... I was on...

No whats bad is that ccri misleads individuals and you wait around to get into a nursing program as long as some people do unless you are the perfect little angel with that perfect 4.0 average oh wait you still dont get in. im just keeping it real. ...

boy you really are delusional well go ahead and believe that if you like. let me know in a few years when you finally get in and maybe pass because there is a high failure rate not just in this school in all nursing schools. were i went to school w...

it does not matter on the campus they have a huge waiting list. The night program has a longer list than the day. :heartbeatTricia RN:heartbeat

Im so sorry to hear your experience and your feelings. Personally I would be honored to work with someone like you who cares for the patients as I do. I cherish my CNA's especially if they are as good as you. I get more upset at the other RN's who a...

I disagree with you! I went to St joeseph school of nursing in RI. Which is a diploma 3 year program. We left the program having more clinical experience than any school out there in this area. Also we are regarded as some of the best grad nurse's ...

I believe I can speak with experience that this will not work!!!!! My husband is active duty military and our health care comes from the government (Tricare). You do not get seen when you need to be seen: For example yesterday I called to have my da...
