I was in FL when I applied for licensure by endorsement, so when you request the application, the Board sends you instructions for if you are out of state. I got fingerprinted for free at my local...
Yeah there's no nursing shortage in NJ with hospital closings right and left. I've been looking for a job for 2 months now here (north/central areas) and I've gotten no luck. There are hiring freezes...
Well I requested the application packet in the mail since I was in FL at the time and same thing with the hard copy they sent, it said continued on reverse side, but there was nothing. So I don't...
I think it's variable. I scored high on my ATIs and passed NCLEX no problem, but someone I knew who scored as high as I did failed and two people I knew who failed the ATIs and had to retake them both...
You know, it's crazy, but schools should really inform their students about job prospects BEFORE graduation. I graduated thinking I would be interviewing hospitals and places, picking the right one...
I've heard good things about Tampa General. Two students I went to school with were both techs there during school and now both of them are in the ICU internship program and loving it! Also, it's...
Where are all their patients going to then??? I don't understand how so many hospitals can close without new ones opening. How can the remaining hospitals take over that load? This is crazy! I'm...

I gained 15 lbs in nursing school. I went from being a healthy, thin girl to a bloated, chunky girl. I haven't started working yet (not getting started on that here) and am stressed out by that and a...

Where in FL are you? I'm in Tampa Bay and both USF and SPC offer the BSN program and I've seen requirements for both and I don't remember ever seeing anything about personal liability ins. Did you...

I'm not sure about OH, but here in FL, they tell you if you do not disclose what happened, and they find it out, they will most likely turn your application down. It's best to be honest and...
