I, somewhat, feel your pain. I'm sorry that this has happened to us but it makes me accept things better knowing that this could happen to anyone, and also that I'm not going through things alone. I traveled out of the city to take the test (I'm sti...

Hey Tolerant Girl! I also took the NCLEX this morning and am pretty sure that I didn't pass. The computer definitely found my weakness and kept shooting those types of questions back to me. I wish I was being modest, but I'm pretty sure it didn't go ...

Nursegirl: I would just go ahead and take the pre-req's anyway, they won't go to waste. Even if you do not get into the program you will still need them to complete your BSN, anywhere. My class had about 24 or so. We started out at 27 but lost 3 of t...

Nursegirl: I came through NKU's Accelerated Nursing Program! Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any specific questions about the program.

Has anyone else noticed that there aren't many NP programs offered in Charlotte? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but all I seem to see is FNP programs. I am interested in Peds and would eventually like to be an NP who specialized in Peds o...

Thank You!!! I looked at all of those schools that you all recommended. ECU has an online Pediatric and Neonatal, but the other schools don't. I'm not too sure that I would be willing to commute a couple of hours (each way) to and from school in anot...

I've been offered a NICU job at a hospital in Charlotte, but would like to go back to school eventually. Thank You for responding

Hey Michigan to Texas, I, too, applied to several GN positions and actually came from out of town to attend the career fair at Baylor. I haven't heard anything yet either. There were soooo many people there. Two of the people that interviewed me were...

I know it is! So you mean to tell me that they only hire from within? Nursing shortage my @ss. She then went on to tell me that I could apply for an externship and then apply for a residency. Why would a Dec grad want to work as an extern for skimpy ...

I spoke to a Grady recruiter and she said that you had to already be an employee in order to be eligible for the residency. Have you heard otherwise? It kind of didn't make too much sense to me but I said ok!

I applied for a Critical Care Fellowship and the recruiter called me back within 2 days or so. She just let me know the steps that I needed to take and just let me know some more things about the program. She said that New Grads can apply to any RN p...

Check a few threads down. There are quite a few posts relating to this topic. Good Luck!

I've heard that too about Nationwide. I spoke with Ohiohealth today... Have you tried Grant?

I second EVERYTHING she said above! Excellent facility...and I, too, have heard the "hiring freeze" buzz

Smiles & Prayers you are awesome!!! I can't wait until you post some more so allnurses can increase your status and we don't have to hijack anymore threads! I've heard that Parkland is a wonderful place to work but they make you sign on for 2 yea...

I've been wondering the same thing. All I know is that I have called Emory and the recruiter had a recording saying that they were not taking any new grads. It may have changed since then but this was only a few weeks ago. I called Grady and for thei...

I found it! I applied for L & D and NICU @ Parkland! How long did it take them to get back with you? Do you know how many openings both units have? Are they putting a heavy emphasis on GPA? Do you think me being an out of state applicant will hur...

Did Baylor do any recent pay increases? That's a big difference considering that these hospitals are in the same area. I haven't heard from Parkland but I defitely applied. I've heard many good things about it.

Got it! That was a creative way to reply back...I never would've thought of that. Thanks for the info. I heard that Parkland just raised their new grad pay rate, so good for you! I applied online at Parkland and haven't heard anything from them. I'm ...

Hey there! I live in the Cincinnati area and have heard quite a few people talking about the online CNM program (not specifically what you asked). I have not heard any bad things about it. The only thing that I have heard was that it was slightly com...

Yes I do graduate in December! I tried to get a head start on things too but the recruiter told me to apply a little later. I began applying right before this Fall semester and they had GN Internships listed for September. I had to wait until the Jan...

Britt! I'm considering the '09 internship also! Maybe we'll meet someday! When do you graduate and which specialty are you looking into?

Well good luck to you! That is a GREAT sign! I'm about to fly out of state to a job fair because I've heard that they hire on the spot. They said IF I get hired, I'll be reimbursed for it. To fly somewhere to meet with 4 managers is wonderful! What s...

QueenCityNurse, Quick question about the 90 day thing...is this 90 actual working days or is it 90 days from the time you start? You have been a great help...like a huge one! I was getting a bit discouraged. Does Presby pay more? If so, do you know h...

Louise99, Do they make you sign on for a certain time period upon accepting the nurse residency position? If so, how long?
