I'm starting with Chamberlain on Monday also. I'm taking NR351 and have 32 credits left to complete. My book should arrive from Amazon on Monday. I still can't log in and it's making me frustrated. I spoke with the Registrar's office Friday and s...

I'm working Thanksgiving. Off Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Working New Year's Eve and day. I'm happy with it :)

How soon should I begin to contact agencies before I start traveling? example: Do I start talking to recruiters 3 months ahead of time? I don't want them to "bug" to long before I'm ready to start. :)

South University does NOT require clinicals. That's not the reason I chose them, but it's a huge perk!

I chose South University for my RN to BSN. I had a TON of credits transfer (more than the average RN). I'm in my first class now (an IT class) and it's going great so far. Taking 2 classes every quarter (part time), I will have my BSN in about 2 y...

My hospital in Columbus doesn't do unit pay, BUT if you're a float nurse hospital wide then you make $3/hr.

ADN currently. Starting classes in 3 days for my RN to BSN eeek :)

Applied and a week later I had an interview with HR. The next day I had an interview with the nurse managers on the floor. They called me on my drive home (only a 7 mile drive) and offered me the job. :)

I graduated in Dec 06 too. In my opinion, I would stick it out 20 more days atleast...then put in your notice (2 weeks or a month, whatever they require)

I didn't get yelled at last week, but I was talked down to. I was told by a seasoned nurse that it is never ok to be belittled. If something gets out of hand with a doc she told me to say, "I do not disrepect you and you will not disrepect me." Ma...

Hooray! Keep me posted! Are you in a LPN or RN program currently?

$19/hr Columbus, GA (I'm getting a $0.50 raise for cost of living soon, YAY) :) +3/hr nights +3/hr weekends

The cost of living (COL) here is A LOT less than New York State or Miami. So $17/hr may not sound like a lot, but you have to take into consideration the COL.

Columbus Regional: apply online ONLY http://www.columbusregional.com/ Doctor's Hospital: not sure http://www.doctorshspt.com/ St. Francis Hospital: apply in person or online http://www.sfhga.com/index.asp No, you do NOT have to work in LTC first. ...

I live in Columbus, but I just moved here 6 months ago. I'm not familiar with the schools here since I graduated from nursing school in North Carolina. The floor that I work on has nursing students doing clinicals from all the local schools. I've h...

I work in Columbus, GA and I (RN) started at $18.78/hr. $3/hr shift diff and $3/hr weekend pay.

I will do doing travel nursing in a few months and my husband is coming with me. We're 24 and 25 yo so he'll be finishing his degree online and maybe get a little part time job to keep him busy. We'll also be taking our dog with us. :) Goodluck!

I didn't apply for a job until after graduation. Many of nursing friends already had jobs lined up and it made me a little nervous. I was in a different siuation because I went to school in NC (friends stayed in NC), but I moved to GA so it was mor...

I live in Columbus, GA (my husband is in the Army). I graduated in December 2006 and I have my RN...I'm working in MedSurg/Ortho and I'm enjoying it so far :)

I've been working 3 months and I've called out twice for being sick (respiratory crap)

I've noticed that many RN-BSN programs require you to have one full year of nursing experience. I've only been a nurse for 3 months. Are there any schools that don't require the 1 yr experience for their online program?

I despised the HESI! I'm glad to be done with it forever and ever :)

I took the NCLEX-RN on Tuesday so I'm refreshing the page on PearsonVue waiting to see if I passed. I had 75 questions and it took me 3 hours to finish. I should know in the next few hours...moment of truth...waiting waiting waiting..................

I passed!!!! Lindsay, RN

Noahj: what time did you finish your test on Tuesday? I didn't finish mine until 1:30 EST so I'm thinking that it will around that time today. Exactly 48 hours.
