5 twelve hour shifts can be expected in most programs, and there are some programs that have out of town clinical experiences that will require weeks away from home. Seriously if you have to ask this question than it sounds like your wife would rathe...

Relocate, if you can't then you may want to reconsider going into nursing

Option 3: Go to dental school Becoming a CRNA generally takes 7-8 years. 4 years for a BSN ~2 Years ICU (you need at least 6 months to a year before you can begin applying so by the time you actually start crna school you'll have close to 2 years n...

This is inaccurate. You can still change floors/situation, you just can't quit without penalty. Right now as a new grad you are useless. You cannot manage any patients on your own. You will need to be oriented which means that whoever decides to h...

It's a business decision. Why spend the time and resources to train a new grad just so they can go back to school or to another hospital, especially the ICU. You won't get any sign on bonus as a new grad in GA, those days are gone. Hospitals are tire...

You should focus on finding a job post graduation and not on some silly student in your class.

There are several non-bedside positions that do not involve bodily fluids.

Cry me a river...........................

1. when did you graduate? may 2010 2. do you have a bsn or adn? bsn 3. are you still looking for work? no 4. if not, how long did it take you to find a job? i worked as a nurse extern 6 months prior to graduation, hired by same unit. 5. if you don't...

This information is wrong. You will have to disclose this to the board when you apply for a nursing license. Prepare a letter explaining your circumstances and how you have learned from this experience and provide proof of expungement. If you fail to...

I was in a similar position. This is a business decision and you have to do whats best for you. Jobs fire people all of the time, so remember that loyalty beings and ends at home. Don't listen to any of these other new grads that can't find jobs, mak...

10% of getting a gn position is hard work and dedication. 90% is working as an extern during school, networking + timing. You may have worked harder but pehaps they worked smarter by building relationships prior to graduating.

Of course not

Acceptance rate and NCLEX scores are unrelated. As far as Darton goes, many try, fewer get through, and those that finish do well on boards.

After reading several threads related to job markets being oversaturated with new grads + weak economy leading to a lack of jobs, the first thought that comes to my mind is....."Well move already!" The program that I am completing is in a rural area,...

Call me crazy but if they stuck around longer would it do the exact opposite....less openings??

Good for you, some people are threatened by new grads and say things like "You need to work the floor, and get experience first" I have heard this from critical care nurses, case managers, etc... Ignore them, some people want you to take the same lon...

What's wrong with giving folks a second chance? Perhaps the anger should be directed at the Florida Board of Nursing and their ridiculous 15 year ban policy.

Thanks for sharing, I graduate in May and I am still not sure if bedside nursing is for me. At least you figured out what you wanted early in your career, good luck!

I will be emailing my representatives right away!

I think Children's healthcare is still accepting applications, medical center central georgia is also hiring externs (1 hour south of Atlanta), you just missed Grady's extern program I think they start again in the summer.

If you're interested in finding another job, don't put it on your resume. Anyone telling you otherwise is just giving you bad advice.

Our school ties ATI score to progression for almost every couse. Even courses like nurse leadership. So if you get an A+ in the course and clinical, but you scored below a level II (two attempts) on the ATI then you receive an F for the course and a ...

Is anyone else's program tying the ATI exam to progression for each course? Our school is not only using it as an exit exam, but they are failing students regardless of the course grade and clinical grade if students do not meet level II proficiency....

If you were in my program, you wouldn't get a chance to sit for NCLEX. Our crappy school ties ATI score to progression for almost every couse. Even courses like nurse leadership. So you could have gotten an A+ in the course and clinical, but if you s...
