Hey yall I thought I would start a thread for those of us about to start the ADN program at PRCC! So come in, tell us about yourself and lets get this semester started! Good Luck everyone!!!! Angela

I also see that you said "could have gotten" or what was in the market.. My opinion.. the market isn't strong.. take the job!

Of course I need to make decent money. But I want to be happy and confident with my job. I took $2.00 less an hour, a 40 minute longer drive.. and having to pay my own benefits to get the job in the specialty I wanted. So.. I guess what I make is de...

So on Friday morning I interviewed for my dream job. It isn't the absolute best option for me in the world, but it is in pediatrics and I have always wanted to work in pediatrics. It was my first interview with a nurse manager. Everything else has...

Thank you!

I am a new grad.. and I would say definitely yes. I don't know of any place that has said they wouldn't hire me because I have ADN and not BSN

Okay... so thank goodness God worked it out for me! The Nursing home people were so unprofessional that they didn't get around to officially offering me the job until Friday. The peds position was offered on Thursday. I knew I had to take it.. it w...

Hey everyone. I am a new graduate RN, but I know what I want to do from here on out. Probably because I am 30 years old and set in my ways already. I want to be a pediatric nurse practitioner. So I am here to ask this: What colleges are best for this...

I think I might do that then. I am probably going to get my BSN at a local college here..and work my 2 years in pediatrics. I just accepted a job in peds.. so its all perfect now!

Finally an RN in Mississippi!! Also licensed in Louisiana, but as of now it looks like I will be working in good ol MS!

Glad to know that I am not the only one pondering that one!

Yikes! I understand your dilemma. I really don't know what to say. Personally I would stick with job #3 for a bit longer because of the shortage of jobs out there. But that is your own choice. On a resume, I don't think I would mention #1 and #2, b...

One year SEEMS to be the magic number locally, but who knows right? I am a new grad, so I am hoping that this remains true. My plan is to get a job and stick it out for a solid year then if I am happy stay.. and if not then begin the hunt for a new ...

That was my thought too. I really want the pediatric position!

That is what I was thinking too. I would hate to be that kind of person, but Job #1 has so many opportunities. See the hospital that Job #1 is at is building a new hospital in my town. So my DREAM would be to get a transfer to the local hospital in...

Oh wow.. I would have been miffed too. I guess they think because they are in paramedic school that they are just there for the fun stuff. Where was the instructor? Wow.. I guess you would be the bad person if you decided that they couldn't help yo...

If anyone wants to know new grad pay at Forrest General in Hattiesburg is $20.50 with a $4.25 shift diff. From what I have been told the starting pay is the same ADN or BSN

I went to nursing school with 3 kids ages ranging 5, 7, 9 when I started.. so it can be done. I don't know of any hospitals that provide daycare, at least in my area. I live in the southeast.

I went to a small Community College.. student wise it was the most wonderful experience! We had good instructors too.. nothing more than the usual instructor complaints. I am so sorry that you are experiencing these things. I truly think that you wil...

It looks like I am going to get an interview at FGH.. does anyone know what New Grad pay is now? ADN?

I live far too south of Vicksburg, thanks though :) I am still applying everywhere I can.. still no call backs.. I will keep everyone updated. Best of luck to everyone.

Hey everyone! I am Angela and I am from South Mississippi. I just graduated from an ADN school in May of this year. I am currently trying to find a job. I have passed the NCLEX and I am licensed in Mississippi and Louisiana. I am having a really hard...

No job here yet.. I am licensed in MS and LA.. I have applied from New Orleans all the way to Hattiesburg and I haven't gotten a single call in 2 months.

I also graduated in May.. I live in South MS.. I passed NCLEX and I have a license in MS and LA... I have applied everywhere within 75 miles and I haven't gotten a single call. I can honestly say that I am depressed. I am 3 months away from having t...

yep.. me... at 104... i was thinking that was a really weird number.. but then I thought about the whole adaptive testing thing.. and it makes sense that we will get weird numbers.. and mine for a reason.. i didn't slow down and take my time so i pro...
