  3. Job market for new grads in NO?

    abigrace posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Does anybody know what the job market is like for new grads in NO? Would a new grad who did not do clinicals in the area (and therefore does not already have a foot in the door) stand any chance in...

  4. Have you ever een a CNA FLOATER?

    abigrace replied to sentiboi's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was a float as a CNA at a hospital, and I really liked it. It was great for me because I was going to start nursing school soon, so it was a wonderful way to get a lot of different experience. The...

    What are some good questions that I would need to ask when looking at hospitals to work at? Things like nurse/patient ratio, scheduling, benefits, etc. Is it okay to ask about salary? What are...

  9. Going back to school for a nursing degree. Good idea?

    abigrace replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    I know it stinks to start on pre-reqs without knowing whether you'll get in to a program or not, but, that may be the best way to improve your chances. Accelerated programs with pre-reqs tend to look...

    abigrace replied to Scooter5's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I was just about to post this exact same question! Any other opinions out there on these two? There is only about a 20-30 dollar price difference, but no need to pay extra if Master is not...

    abigrace posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When in the nursing school process do you start studying for the NCLEX-RN...buying the study books, doing practice questions, etc.? I know early is good, but if you don't know anything yet, it...

  13. "New Grad" or "Experienced"

    abigrace posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've heard a lot of hospitals are only hiring (or it's easier to get a job for) experienced nurses, as opposed to new grads. Are you only considered a new grad for your very first nursing job? How...

  14. A few licensing questions...

    abigrace posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can I take the NCLEX-RN in a state other than the state from which I received my BSN? Would it be better to take the test in the same state, and then transfer the license to the other state? What is...

  16. CNA Courses in Abilene Texas

    abigrace replied to avahsmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, just apply anyway. I'm sure some people who apply there are already certified, but the majority of the people who work as CNA's there also get trained there. When someone from human resources...

    abigrace replied to avahsmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Welcome to Abilene (soon)! I live in Abilene and will start my CNA class in a couple weeks at Hendrick Medical Center. The way it works there is they hire you as a CNA, then put you through the 2.5...

    abigrace replied to novanurse05's topic in General Nursing

    I'm applying to an accelerated BSN that does not require Chemistry (even though I had it in my first undergrad degree-ugh!), but I'm not sure if you're looking all over or just in your area. Are you...

    abigrace replied to phluteloop's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Or maybe I can help...I see you said you've tried Nike. Have you tried the Shox? I know they make all white ones, and the shox I have are very comfy. They are squishy in both the heel and ball of...
