My class had a facebook page (it was a group with the "secret group" settings - so unless you were in the group, you couldn't even see that the group existed, let alone comments made in it). It was extremely helpful. We'd go to each other with questions, share study tips, etc. Just be very, very careful about what you post. You should never discuss tests or test questions in the group. Everything else is fair game. It's a great way to bond with your classmates as well as keep in touch after you graduate! My classmates continue to stay in contact on there and we frequently post job listings for those looking for jobs.

that's a HUGE help! thanks!! I'm going to be living in the Naperville area, so most of those would work just fine. I'll give it a shot and see where it takes me, thanks!

Thanks so much for all the feedback! I never dreamed it'd be such a struggle to find a job after nursing school!

I'm starting to apply for nursing positions (will be graduating with my ADN in May) and was wondering if there are any hospitals you know of for sure that are only hiring BSN RNs? Since the application process is rather lengthy for many of these hospitals, I'd rather not waste my time if they aren't going to hire me anyway. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! If you all know of anywhere that definitely hires ADNs or new grads that'd be a big help as well! Thanks! :)

I am also graduating 5/11 in New York and will be applying for my Illinois license! Looking for the same answer as you. I hope someone can help!

This is wonderful! Thanks so much for the fantastic tips!!

Thiazide diuretics can cause hyperglycemia

Thank you SO much!! I don't finish until May, but I saved everything you gave for when I'm ready to start studying for the NCLEX! This is great information and I will try and incorporate it into my studying during the school year as well. THANK YOU!!

I know this is probably a really silly question, but I just want to be sure. I just got a job in a pediatric office. Am I supposed to wear my scrubs there or change into them once I get there? Or does it not matter? Please let me know! It's my first job and I'm really nervous. :imbar
