I too turned in my notice Thansgiving night after a no win conversation with a DON who does not see the the danger of a new grad nurse she hired who after 2 months orientation is performing like someone who they picked off the street. I've made a choice what battles I will fight. I pray for the safety of the patients , the unit mgr even made the statement do not assign her anyone she can kill . This is sad . Hope it gets better for you .

does anyone have any experience with Travel Max Agency?

I did not have a job before I graduated Dec. 2008 , seemed to me places were somewhat slow to respond , but that could have just been me .I did get a job offer at Jewish in Louisville , KY but declined that one & took a job at St. Joseph in Lexington,Ky. The first day of my orientation on my way home I also got a call from Cumberland Hospital in Somerset , KY. The nurse mgr that called me about this job had just gotten my resume that I had sent in 9 days earlier. To bad the call came after I had already started it offered the Baylor Plan in ICU . I hope this helps you .

JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY , INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY also have online RN-BSN programs

We had ATI also , the scores we had to obtain varied for each test. The comprehensive test we had to have 95% and with each test we could only take it twice ,then you were out. They used these test as a predictor to how you would do on the NCLEX. I didn't see that anything from these test helped me pass the boards Jan. 14.

At the school I just graduated from in Dec. has a "Graduate Employment Services " office that helped students write their resumes. The top of the resume in the center I typed my name address,phone # , email address. Then moved down a space to the left listed schools I had attened , then started with work experience and they had me to include what clinic experience I had , finished with any awards and skills I needed to list. You may find help from online sites or library. Best wishes

I just graduated Dec 2008 and took & passed NCLEX Jan 14th from the RN program .I was told that they are on a "conditional status". I have not went to KBN web site to confirm this.

I just passsed NCLEX RN and I'm 57 and plan on going forward to get my BSN . You are never to old.

Check Mary Brenkenridge,Hyden KY.They have an online course .

I Need Help Also In Math , I'm Going To Withdraw This Week In The Algebra/college Math Course I'm In . It's Mid-term And I Have A F. This Course Is Algebra Which I Had Never Had ,and This Course Assumes You Have The Basics. Anyone Know Of Any Other Math Course I Can Look At To See If The Colleg I'm At Will Accept It . Some Of The Other Students Took Applied Math And Do Not Have To Take This Course. I Do Not See What Graphs Or Angles Have Anything To Do With How Much Meds To Give ,thanks For Any Input.

I FIND YOUR GOOD NEWS ENCOURAGING,I'M JUST GETTING STARTED.BEST WISHES:balloons:

I 'm considering returning to school for RN. I've been a LPN for 10 years.I'm in my middle 50's,but I figure I will work at least another 10 years.I'm considering a college where I can complete all courses in one year but the cost is about $20,000. I'm considering this college due to fact that I will not have to spend a lot of time writing term papers and attend other classes that are just time fillers and I can be out in one year. Any input would be appreciated. THANKS
