    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I've actually begun to apply to positions other than nicu, still nothing....yet. As much as I would love to stay close to home, its beginning to look like that won't happen. Now I have to decide...

    VENT.....this really sucks

    WildcatFanRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, I thought I was doing ok. I thought the only thing I had to work on was time management, which would come with time right? I've been on the NICU less than 4 weeks and I was told this morning I...

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The sad part is, because I have to list this on my resume the chances of my getting into another NICU is slim IMO. I'm trying to be optomistic of my chances, but since I'm still considered a new grad...

    Where is the "nursing shortage" still going strong?

    WildcatFanRN replied to Kingfish72's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just started reading this tread. Where in OH is offering such good bonuses? I've been looking since before I graduated in May and still nothing that I would love doing. I had a brief (very brief)...

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm just hoping I can find a place I can be happy at. Though a lot of the places I've been applying to lately seem to want BSN only for their NICU, which doesn't make any sense to me at all. Also a...

    WildcatFanRN replied to Snowii's topic in General Nursing

    yet another thing to add to the list of depressing things this year. I finally have my RN license, but can't get a job. Though I do have a phone interview with one place next

    WildcatFanRN replied to Snowii's topic in General Nursing

    I've tried everywhere I can think of. Though since I eventually want to work NICU I'm trying to apply to places where I can transfer into it. I've run out of places in KY to apply for that. The...

    I took my NCLEX-RN October 29th. I was so nervous I wasn't able to sleep the night before. I got up at 6am so I could get there on time, and I got to the parking lot at 725am. Registration went...

    New Grad thinking of moving to Ohio

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I think it is only in the NICU that they require BSN only. I personally don't know what a BSN grad knows more than I do except how to do research. I do plan to get my BSN, its just going to take...

    I was hoping I'd get a decent bank of questions, I was just surpised to have the kind I did. Mostly delegation and priority and all were common sense based. I remember my NCLEX-PN being like that...
