  1. Any other new grads concerned about finding a job??

    Turns out you were right!! I had two offers for job interviews and received a formal offer from one, which I accepted. Now I can focus on graduating and passing the
  2. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    You should definitely report that facility to the BON. I would probably even write a letter to the director/manager of that facility expressing my disappointment as well as the fact that their action...
  3. Texas ADN pay

    PurpleLVN, do you make that much as a new grad, or do you have years of experience?? Never mind, I see that you have 7 years experience, so I guess that plays a part in your salary. $23 for a new...
  4. What's the job market like in Texas?

    I am planning on relocating to Houston after I finish my RN degree next May. It is hard for new grads where I currently live (in the St. Louis, MO area) to get jobs, and I'm wondering if the same is...
  5. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    RN is the acronym for Registered Nurse, however, many people with this title have an Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN). Lutheran is a diploma program, so you won't have the ADN if you go there....
  6. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    There is not much pay difference between a BSN nurse and an RN. Only about 25 to 50 cent difference in pay per hour in some facilities and no difference at all in some others. As someone already...
  7. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    My advice is to work on passing the dosage test. If you haven't already, apply to other schools as well to keep your options open. You might get in if you pass the dosage test. More people than you...
  8. WHAT SHOULD I DO????????????

    What schools, in particular, do not let SCCCs credits transfer?? All accredited and respectable schools in this area do allow them to transfer, so I am curious as to what you come up with. Also,...
  9. sccc nursing program

    What program coordinator are you referring to? All of my instructors, including our nursing director for the RN program, have at the very minimum a masters degree. Some even have doctorates. If you...
  10. SCCC trouble?

    I am in my second year and no I have not. What kind of advice are you looking for? Can you be a little more
  11. Jobs in St. Louis area?

    I suggest that you apply to jobs and do not move until you have landed one. I assume you are an experienced nurse? All of the hospitals have websites in which you can apply, and perhaps your...
  12. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    Well, one of my first year instructors has been promoted to Nursing Director and she is awesome!! I never spoke to the old director (can't even tell you her name), but I think our new director is...
  13. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    I am sorry that some of you have had a difficult time with SCCC. I am in my second year of the RN program. I applied to SCCC, along with STLCC, in August 2007 and got in to both systems on my first...
  14. Wow, I need to move to
  15. There seems to be no jobs for a new graduate nurse

    I'm sorry that you were unable to find an RN job. Did you at least get any interviews for RN positions??
  16. anyone know how many students STLCC takes each year?

    I know that Flo Valley took about 60 last year, because I was 63 on the waiting list and was told that I would get in if three people did not confirm they would attend. I got in, but decided to go...
  17. Definitely contact the recruiter and continue to apply to every position you are interested in. You will eventually get their attention, and contacting the recruiter is a great start. Good
  18. Critical Care Internships for new grads?

    Thanks so much for your reply Raerusse. I am going to visit next March to get an idea of the area I want to live in. I'm leaning towards Kingwood right now, but we'll see. I wish the public...

    Glad to know about the abundance of activities. My kids will love that! Thanks so much for your
  20. California nurses & others who can't find jobs- read this!

    I have contacted my congressman on this issue. I think it is appalling what that hospital administrator is trying to do. I hope he fails to get what he seeks, and decides to put his efforts where...
  21. Critical Care Internships for new grads?

    Thanks for your reply NeoNurse. What do you mean there is a lot to do? Do you mean recreation wise? Also, do you know if it is tough for new grads from out of state to get hired on at the med...
  22. Critical Care Internships for new grads?

    Raerusse, I am relocating to Houston next year. Could you tell me what you think the pros and cons are about living in Houston? What area did you move to? I'm thinking about Katy, Kingswood, or...
  23. night shift workers how much sleep do you really get?

    I work 7P-7A. The most I can sleep during the day after a shift is 4 hrs. I try to sleep longer, but my body just won't cooperate. I'm tired and groggy until the next day when I can sleep at night....
  24. St. Charles Community College

    I attend there and will also be a second year student in August. The program is great, but very time consuming and difficult. Yes, they do have some evening classes, which begin around 4. As far as...
