    Frustrated... can't find anyone to hire new grad nurses!

    beth66335 replied to Lisa1980's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got a job at a hospital working as a tech before I graduated to get a foot in the door and now I have been hired to be their one and only new nurse. It isn't a place I want to stay but the ER I want...

    beth66335 replied to mrsmom79's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have heard of this trick but my best advice is if you were getting a lot of application/assessment type questions ( those are the harder ones) and it shut off at 75, you passed. The A&A...

    beth66335 replied to Goldeeloxx's topic in General Students

    If you haven't started clinicals yet then hold on! Once I started clinicals we all had to help each others so friendships formed faster. Plus, in clinicals you sometimes have amusing things happen...

    beth66335 replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    Your still passing, so it's not over until it's over and you do have time to do things differently. It sounds like you are already feeling better about things and that will help a lot! Good Luck to...

    beth66335 replied to sarah38's topic in General Students

    Don't panic, when you graduate and get a job you will still be learning for about a year. Nursing school just gets you the book-learning base to go to when you start to use your nursing process on...

    When I took the Red Cross course in 2003 it cost 800.00, but I got hired for a job before I finished, because of the reputation of the quality of the course done through the Red Cross, so I thought it...
