I graduated last December actually. Woo Hoo! :) The schedule was always different each semester, but it was usually one day of clinical, 3 days of classroom. Clinical days were 8am-3pm. One classroom day would be all day long, like 10-5, but the ...

I did choose a regular 2 yr program. I still felt the pace was fast, but I liked having a more spaced out schedule so I had plenty of time to study and do papers, etc... I knew myself and the pace I needed to learn. Another thing to always keep in...

I got the schedule about 2 weeks after being accepted into the program. I think it was sometime in mid-June. It was pretty much classroom all day everyday until 4pm. it was a while ago so that's all I remember. All I know was the schedule, along ...

Thank you guys SO much! After much consideration, I've decided on days. This is what the nurse manager recommended as well. Also, sleep is PRECIOUS to my health and happiness! I am not a night owl whatsoever, and I think it would really screw with...

Anyone work or heard anything about Somerset? I don't know what to think about signing a 2 year contract. I understand they want to retain people, but what if you're miserable? They also start new grads on 5 days a week. Seems like I'll have no ...

:nurse:Hey- New grad here. I have an interview coming up at a Dr office and not sure what to do if i'm offered the job. Hospital jobs have been slim pickins in my area (NJ).......... How does the salary usually compare with hospitals? Any advice? Th...

I am a new grad, wondering if anyone else has signed a 2 year contract. I understand they invest money and time in you and do not want to lose people, but 2 years seems like a long time if you are unhappy. What are the consequenses of breaking one ...

No union at this hospital. They told me in the interview that this is a good thing......is it really good not to have a union???

Any night nurses out there? I'm interviewing for a hospital today that starts new grads on 8 hr shifts, 5 nights a week. It's the specialty area that I really want, but I was sort of looking forward to only working 3 days! On the other hand, I thi...
