Does anyone have any recent information (within the past few months) regarding where DSN is in their NLN accreditation process, i.e., have they reached candidate status, or has anyone heard from administration or other students about when they are ho...

thanks a lot for your input. i will look into those options.

Hi, I work on a specialty neurology floor out of state and I have found a couple of neuro rn jobs at california hospitals, jobs that i think i would get a call back on if i were currently in state or had a license. i live in a nursing compact state, ...

also, as a follow up to my question, i am interested in knowing: 1. if there is a saturation of experience candidates for jobs in cali (bay area), and they don't want to bother with an out of state person as opposed to 2. if they have a more hard an...

can anyone tell me what the nursing market is like in nyc right now for a nurse who is NOT a new grad? is it much better than for new grads? and is it much better than it was in the summer of 2010? i have 3 years of experience working med surg in a ...

Hi, I am considering a move with my wife from out west to NYC. I have about 1.5 years RN (BSN) experience working in a step down unit at a large urban hospital. I know this is very broad, but since I don't know any RNs in NYC, I have a few ?s: 1. ho...

thanks for your response. so was the market much better a couple of years ago?

Sorry if this is an oft-repeated question--I don't know how to see related threads until one is already posted. At any rate, I am considering moving to Portland in January 2009 after I graduate with my BSN in Denver. Can anyone speak to the new grad ...

that would be nice noodle, if that is the case. i don't see how the nlnac will change their acceditation process to fit the bon's desires. unless that would be the board's way of saying "if you can't get it done by 2010, you're out of luck." i might ...

bfrdncr41, i am not too sure what most of the students have done about health insurance, maybe someone else will answer this as i have a special situation regarding my insurance. however, i saw your question about denver health and i wanted to tell ...

cu's hospital does not hire dsn grads at present. cu says it is because dsn is not currently accredited (even though every other hospital in denver, including the level one trauma centers, hire our grads), but we have been told that it is a political...

or PCTs, or any kind of nursing support personnel?

for us we took both pediatric and obstetric in quarter 3 of 7. i heard they were considering revising the order of the rotations and classes, but i doubt they've changed peds yet, if they will at all.

Would any SRNAs tell me how much time you spend on an average week for: a) the primarily or entirely didactic semesters, and (b)the more heavily clinical semesters? How many hours outside of class per week do youv spend studying, preparing for clinic...

Can anyone from OR tell me about what type of new grad atmosphere there is for ICU prospects--MICU, SICU, CVICU, neuro...all types of adult icus/ccus. i live in denver and will get my bsn at the end of 2008 and am considering portland. it looks like ...

I wasn't implying in any way that there should be some cap on the amount of study time that an SRNA should have, or what would be acceptable for me. In fact, if I get into school, I look forward to handing the program a "blank check" on my time, beca...

the instructors are not that way at all. in fact they are very down to earth and approachable (to varying degrees, like anywhere else) and most of them love to help students out and love students asking questions, discussing, etc... so don't worry ab...

probably a dumb question, but if someone would indulge me: what are "bread and butter" cases, as they are called in crna job postings?

thank you very much kristiepdx. your comments have made me feel a lot better. my experience has been the same in denver, that a lot of application will get you a long way, but it's great to hear someone say the same thing about portland.

i don't think you necessarily get stuck on nights as a new grad in denver. it seems to be some of both, to be honest. if you have any more info on portland, it would be greatly appreciated, bearitto. i think i am in the same position as you if i lea...

ps if you know anything of portland i would greatly appreciate it. i might stay in denver but i might be in portland.

i take it you are graduating in a month? like i said i've gotten some success applying for nurse externship positions, since i won't graduate for almost 8 months. i don't know what kind of specifics you feel comfortable getting into--with regards t...

Can anyone from OR tell me about what type of new grad atmosphere there is for ICU prospects--MICU, SICU, CVICU...whatever. i live in denver and will get my bsn at the end of 2008 and am considering portland. it looks like i would have at least one o...

i'm am a bsn student in colorado right now. i can't say that i have perceived a difficulty in getting employed as a new graduate, at least in the denver area. my cohort of 20 is eight months from graduation, and i would say that 6-7 of us already hav...
