A lot of the GN programs expect you to have a job lined up in your last semester of nursing school so you have something to start when you finish. I would start now because it is going to get...
I sincerely recommend getting the blue Saunders book and getting the HESI book. I am not sure if it was one of the books enclosed in your box but I can get the exact titles if I need to. Those were...
Ahh I am getting my application together to apply for Summer '08...anyone else appying that is on here? I am going to retake the NAT on Monday and I have 185.88 points...If I do not get in for...
You can wear whatever. I know people in the past have worn the same color so that they know they are from allnurses.com. Target has name tags for a $1 if you guys wanna do that lol. I know I...

I don't know what the situation is going to be like in October because the nurse managers I talked to are all sure that with the flu season coming, jobs will open up. But I think it is going to be...
This same thing happened to me, and the nurse manager told me that if a position does open, she would let me know. Hint: Go on about how you have always wanted to do NICU and you feel like you belong...
Ahh okay, thank you!! I think I had the teacher you had for my 1st term =). But anyways, ask around, because I would hate to throw them away. See if anyone needs an extra one (I know some people...

Sorry if my post was not up-to-date. I bought one, used it for my 25 BP on ppl and then it now sits on a shelf. That was a waste of money to me. But if you need it more now, then buy one by all...

I would not get a BP cuff if you know someone that has one. You only use it for Health Assessment for about two weeks. I would not get the lab coat either. It was a waste of money as most people...

The pants, which I recommend you do, you can get from anywhere. Popular ones in my class were ones with slits at the bottom and some of the girls had flare style ones. I don't know if you will all...
I thought about doing that but the cost of doing it just to turn around and get my RN outweighed the benefits. You more than likely won't get a job as an LPN in hospital, probably more like a LTC or...

I had three careplans. And they did not grade them that hard. But I had a careplan Nazi 2nd term so my careplans are thorough so I really do not know about how strict they are with them. Some of my...

I am in my last semester now I think 2nd term, Adult Health I was the hardest. Term I just has a lot of time consuming activities and it is also the semester where you have to have the most community...
I was wondering how long between actual graduation and sitting for boards. I want to try to get a job by October and my graduation is August 17th. How long was it for you and how far in advance did...
I will be graduating with my ADN next month and I had the same concerns. I actually went to talk to a magnet hospital in Jacksonville and the key words in an interview are that you plan on continuing...
I am going to be one of the team leaders for my class this week and I want to make a good impression. Does anyone have any tips for new nurses, as far as what to do when you first walk into the room,...

I personally think it is stupid that they do not consider outside counties. What other program do we have to choose from, except SJRCC and private colleges in the area? I know I would want a nurse...

I would rather go the community college route but don't want to wait another year to apply again (didn't get it for fall 09). I know FCCJ's deadline for fall '09 is not until June 1st. And you can...
