  1. Nj License By Endorsement

    momof2nurse replied to JOHNNYDRN56's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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...

  2. Jobs in N.New Jersey

    momof2nurse replied to fawnsternurse's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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...

    momof2nurse replied to colleenrnsw's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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...

  4. ATI testing NCLEX indicator?

    momof2nurse replied to BabySweetpea's topic in First Year After Licensure

  5. Does home health ever take new grads?

    momof2nurse replied to SoundofMusic's topic in First Year After Licensure

    momof2nurse replied to MB37's topic in Florida Nursing

  7. Why so many hospitals closed in NJ?

    momof2nurse replied to abbaking's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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...

  8. "Big Money"

    momof2nurse replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    momof2nurse replied to kellyo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  11. Veteran nurses antagonistic

    momof2nurse replied to dhammond3's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. Application for licensure in Ohio

    momof2nurse replied to jaylynn67's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Whatever they ask. My application (FL) was very specific in saying what details you need to include. I found the state board of nursing website very helpful. Here is what you need to fill out; I got...

  13. Application for licensure in Ohio

    momof2nurse replied to jaylynn67's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Don't listen to the lawyers. I have spoken to reps from the NCSBN and I have spoken to people who have been through it. If you do not disclose it, and they find it, they will turn down your...

    momof2nurse replied to labrador4122's topic in Florida Nursing

  15. Application for licensure in Ohio

    momof2nurse replied to jaylynn67's topic in Ohio Nursing

    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...

    momof2nurse replied to IsseyM's topic in Operating Room

    What areas are you grad nurses from? Around here (tampa bay, fl) there's no way they would hire a grad nurse for the OR. The OR is my dream, but I've been told to do med-surg first for at least 1-2...

  19. new grad, cant get hired

    momof2nurse replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    ALL travel agencies require experience. Think about it. When you're a travel nurse, you're expected to, and I quote this from someone else, "hit the floor running". We as new grads can't do that, we...

    momof2nurse replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey Nursing
