I'm so sorry to hear that heartbroken. That's not fair and it scares me now! Ahhh!

I just got the call for a full time offer yesterday around 3:15pm. That was after a 5.5w wait since my interview. I can finally breathe!

Are you serious? $27/hr for a NEW nurse? Where? And how expensive is living there? B/c I will get less then $20/hr to work as a new nurse. BIG difference. Living is cheap here.

Isn't that the truth! I'm too poor and too lazy to formula feed my kids!

Do you know what they pay graduate nurses in your area? At the hospital where I am going to school pays graduate nurses the same as a start nurse. $19.57. I'm not sure if this is common practice to start GN's off the same as a nurse who has sat/pas...

Can you job shadow an NP? I had to job shadow an advanced nurse so I went to the lady who does my yearly exams...ha. It worked, I got the answers I needed. :)

Yeah, it's defiantly a different situation. Both DH & I are in school together. (He's got a bac in psychology, a bac in criminal justice, a cert in dental tech, and soon RN and his goal is Nurse Anesthetist.) I still am shocked that at the age of...

I have applied to one hospital and only put that I wanted to work on ONE floor. I put application in on a Friday and got a call the following Monday. I had an interview about a week later. (This past Tue) I should hear w/in a month if I got the job....

Yes, it was 8yrs last month. I also turned 24 last month. Married at 16. I'm not what people consider "normal" in any way.

All I know is I went from getting an A in Anatomy and a B in Phys (my 1st B in my pre reqs) and now in Nursing School I average B's at the end of the semester. (I do get some C's on tests) BTW, 79% is failing in Nursing.

lovenandj, I wanted to tell you great job on breastfeeding! I'm all for BFing (wanting to become a LC). I started doing Pre-reqs when I was 7m PG, only going 1 day a week and only took less then a week off school. I haven't stopped school and I'm ...

We currently have 4 students pg in my class. Well one, is a guy so he's not pg but his gf is. The one student is due the week of graduation so she is 30w now and already dilating and ctxing. She is on modified bedrest and I'm pretty sure she won't...

Under $20 for New Castle Pa for a new nurse.

My sister got her about a month ago. She starts this fall at the same school I attend.

At the hospital where I go to school at they are trying to recruit us like crazy! I got a phone call for an interview 3 days after I put my application in. I've already had one interview. I plan to apply at other places also but I don't see why I w...

In my school we practice sub q shots on each other. We also do an IV lab where we get one shot to start an IV on another student. My friend has let me use her as a "pin cushion". And the other day I started 2 IVs on my brother.

I would NEVER get PG while in nursing school. NO WAY. We have a couple pg girls in our class and to hear the one complain about ctx and stuff, ticks me off. Yes, I get ctx are real but you chose to get PG while in school. And then she expects spe...

I've never heard of HESI. *shrug*

I go back to school tomorrow after a week off for spring break. Test on Friday with a crazy week ahead of me. Guess what we did this week? Oh yes, put tile up, played with the kids, had a party for my 3yr old. Everything BUT study...and I'm avoid...

I know at my school we get a TON of clinical time! My school is a Diploma program. We were seeing pts within the 1st couple weeks of Nursing School. It's ALL hands on!

I have an interview on Tuesday. Thankfully my hospital hires a lot of grads. I hope I get a job. My husband is in Nursing School with me and he wants to go on for Anesthesia, so he needs to get into ICU. They will be hiring 1 or 2 grad nurses for...

OB 100% BUT I know I can't get a job there so I have an interview for the Respiratory floor on Tue.

Good Job!!

I'm the same way. I am on the home stretch of Nursing School. (Done in May) So I'm really starting to look for jobs. Most OB units are on hiring freezes or they would rather experienced nurses. I'm on the lookout though and I'm going to apply to as...

Yep, this is our hospital. If someone had MRSA 20yrs ago, too bad, they don't even get swabbed, they are automatically a MRSA pt.
