  1. How important is your g.p.a

    chaxanmom replied to shynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Source please. I googled and found nothing at all to back this up. It's actually pretty common to ask for.

  2. Nursing Research Experience??

    chaxanmom replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    Getting a post-bac IRTA at the NIH is really competitive but if you can get in I'd highly recommend it! I did an IRTA internship this past summer (as an undergrad) and it's a fabulous

  3. JHU vibe?

    chaxanmom replied to mollysdirtysprocket's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I went to an orientation for their graduate programs and they were more than welcoming and very eager to help you out. I really liked the environment myself. It's expensive and they understand that...

  4. For all GN's starting in ICU or CCU, I have a question

    chaxanmom replied to Guest321574's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did do a search a few days ago for threads about interviewing. I didn't find a lot specifically for new grads in ICU but there's a lot of general type questions that I thought were helpful.

  5. For all GN's starting in ICU or CCU, I have a question

    chaxanmom replied to Guest321574's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have no idea but I'm looking forward to the answers! I have a MICU interview on Friday! I did two practicums at another ICU in the same hospital though so hopefully that helps! It's actually a...

  6. How important is your g.p.a

    chaxanmom replied to shynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The hospital I am interviewing with asked for letters of reference from clinical instructors specifically. That could be very helpful if you struggled in the classroom but shine in the clinical site....

  7. How important is your g.p.a

    chaxanmom replied to shynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a 3.91 in a BSN program but the reason I asked wasn't to make you feel bad. Sometimes people who do well in prereq's hit a brick wall when they start having to deal with NCLEX style questions...

    chaxanmom replied to shynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. How important is your g.p.a

    chaxanmom replied to shynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It depends where you want to work. When I spoke with a nurse recruiter at Georgetown the first question she asked was what my GPA was. I'm not sure I would want to work at a hospital that only cared...

  10. many questions about ISU LPN-BSN

    chaxanmom replied to momnmotn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Summer classes totally depend on how many people request that class so it depends. Yeah you can definitely take more than two classes. I generally take 3 but my first semester I took 4 (transition,...

    chaxanmom replied to live&love&heal's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The only one I had any problem with was the peds one. The developmental stuff has always bored me so I don't bother studying it. I barely scrapped by on that test but got high 90s on the other

  12. National Naval Center New Grad Job

    chaxanmom replied to runmommy1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I have. I got turned down because I don't graduate until December and the opening is for immediate fill. There is only 1 new grad position open right now so it's not for a group of new grads. Might be...

  13. many questions about ISU LPN-BSN

    chaxanmom replied to momnmotn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You take your exams wherever you can find a qualified proctor. Libraries and community colleges are good places to look. I did all mine at a community college. Find a proctor you like because you will...

  14. National Naval Center New Grad Job

    chaxanmom replied to runmommy1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the additional info. I always wondered about that.

  15. National Naval Center New Grad Job

    chaxanmom replied to runmommy1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Does it say that somewhere? I've just heard it rumored that in military or VA facilities spouses get preference and wasn't sure if it was true. I'm not sure what having a year's experience has to do...

  16. Hospitals in MD

    chaxanmom replied to runmommy1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hopkins still hires new grads in specialty units. Right now there are long wait lists though so you'll still need to find another job to keep your skills up while you

  18. George Washington Hospital New Grads...?

    chaxanmom replied to futurern123's topic in General Nursing

    I was able to track down a recruiter (took me forever!) and their next new grad application period opens early December. I was surprised by that. I graduate in mid-December and if I'm still job...

  20. Applying at JHH

    chaxanmom posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Ok, I have what may very well be a dumb question but bear with me. On the application page it says there are generic listings for all the units so you only need to submit one application and they...

  21. Shady Grove in Rockville

    chaxanmom replied to nursprl's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'll be a new grad in December and won't be applying there despite living about 5 minutes away. I have a friend who was an ICU nurse there. She hasn't said anything particularly horrible except that...

  22. Do you regret getting your LPN-BSN or RN online

    chaxanmom replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hmm...good question. In some aspects I'm definitely glad I went with online. Flexibility of not attending class is awesome. Being able to pick my own clinical sites has been awesome. I do miss having...

  23. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    You just have to get the CSMs elsewhere. Ebay, other students, etc. Do you have access to your ISU email account yet? There are always students selling their old modules through

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    As far as what tests are CLEP, which at Dantes, etc. and where to take them. Look at the sites specifically for those companies. They list which tests they offer and a test site
