1. LTAC ? Good or Bad?

   lnt3 replied to krstxn's topic in LTAC

   krstxn I myself was a new grad this past December and took a position within an LTAC and honestly I'm very pleased with my decision. I've learned more than I could've ever imagined. I've worked both the Med-Surg and ICU side of the LTAC floor so at...

   lnt3 replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia

   Haha yeah the drive and traffic sucked but my sister lived in Baltimore so I was able to get by with free rent so it was worth it. As far as books and what not go I would wait. They will let you know what you need. You can actually preorder from t...

3. Marymount Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

   lnt3 replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia

   Overall I feel I got a really good nursing education in the program. I have yet to hear of someone from our class that failed the NCLEX so they definitely prepare you for that. There were some communication issues as some faculty members were new t...

4. Marymount University's 2nd Degree Accelerated BSN Program

   lnt3 replied to lnt3's topic in General Nursing

   nicki 2516 If you start in fall 2010 you will graduate december 2011. I don't see how it would at all be possible to complete the program in 3 semesters. There are too many classes, labs, and clinicals. Your first semester alone I think you have ...

5. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

   lnt3 replied to Tijoux's topic in South Carolina

   I realize it is difficult to distinguish the truth from lies in this situation. Regardless of who's telling the truth, bottom line is you can lose your license in any state at any time for any inappropriate behavior. SC is not unique in that respe...

6. Moving to South Carolina in the next 2 years was wondering about the pay scale

   lnt3 replied to alliemaried's topic in South Carolina

   I was a lucky new grad that just moved to the area after graduating in December and got a job. I know MANY new grads here in the Upstate area that are desperate for jobs. I'm not sure if that's the same for experienced nurses though. New grads at ...

7. Marymount Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

   lnt3 replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia

   I've never heard of the program not going through the summer. Some people inidivdually elect to not take class during the summer but as far as I know the program has always been 16 months. I started in Fall 2008 and had class that fall, spring, sum...

8. accelerated nursing grads

   lnt3 replied to laughoutloud8's topic in New Nurse

   My GPA actually got higher after graduating from an accelerated program this past December. I had a 3.1 with my first undergrad degree. I graduated from nursing school with a 3.67. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I was much more i...

    lnt3 replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia

    lnt3 replied to kt424's topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX yesterday morning and am pretty sure I'm going insane right now. I got shut off at 75 as well and had a TON of questions I had no idea about (meds, prioritization, etc.) I only had one med math question and a TON of select all that ...

    lnt3 replied to HDfatboy's topic in South Carolina

    I just graduated in December and relocated to Greenville, SC about 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it here! I'm originally from Pittsburgh so the weather is definitely an improvement as I'm sure it will be for you over Boston weather too. I was jus...
