  1. University of Phoenix- RN to BSN- Good Idea?

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in School, College Programs

    The RN to BSN has no clinical hours that need to be done anywhere. It is all research clinicals. All the "real" nursing hours have been done in the ADN

  2. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good idea! I am doing the same thing. I have an orientation to volunteer, then an interview and if I pass that I can pay ($20-$150) to volunteer. Crazy, I never thought I would have to pay...

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in School, College Programs

  9. What can I do (new grad)

    ilovenursing2009 replied to vnur25's topic in California Nursing

    I agree! It all we can do. Not what we thought would happen after so many years of schooling and people telling us what out great job security, but you have to do what ever it takes. Volunteer, SNF,...

  10. San Diego Nurses

    ilovenursing2009 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in California Nursing

    Once you get as much experience under your belt as you can you will be fine. Being a new grad in SD is awful; I wish I never moved here to be honest. There is nothing here for nurses with less then a...

  11. San Diego New Grad Programs

    ilovenursing2009 replied to mtaylor12's topic in California Nursing

    I forgot to say that it is a good idea to volunteer or get a tech job to get yourself known. Even in this big town it really matters who you know. Did you do your clinicals here in

    ilovenursing2009 replied to mtaylor12's topic in California Nursing

    Do it! Better safe then sorry. I am going to get some today. It is a resonable price to pay for what you get if something

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

  17. New Grads and Clinical Hours

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I totally agree that it is quality of quanity. I am just trying to get an average of the hours people are getting. On paper those hours (as unfortunate as it may be) are what recruiters look at....

  18. Job market prefers BSN , turns away ADN

    ilovenursing2009 replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree! These debates only put divides in the nursing profession. I am a ADN and plan to get my BSN. I plan to because I feel like I need it to get anywhere with a job. Sad. I have looked at the...

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, 20, that is a lot more then I heard were available. That's great! It is so sad that there are so many of us (new grads) that can't get jobs. 600 people for 20 jobs means fierce competition. I am...

    ilovenursing2009 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing
