Hey all! I am going to be graduating December '09 and I was wondering how early I should start my job search. I know a lot of people are having trouble finding jobs in my area. If you guys have any...

I used to work at Applebee's my first couple years of college. I made pretty good tips. I hear Logan's is a good place to work as well. I also worked every shift. Day-time, nights, weekends. If you...
In Alabama we have had some cut backs as well. I know of one hospital that has instituted a hiring freeze and is also cutting jobs. The jobs that are being cut are not in patient care areas though....
There is no set number of points to have. It varies each semester and depends on how many people apply and how many of those people have higher points. The cut off is never a set number. What they do...
When I applied for Fall 2007 I was told we would get our letters around the first couple weeks in July. Waited and waited. It took forever to get it because they were having some trouble deciding who...
Has finding a job for a new grad been a problem for a long time, or is it just an issue at present? I will be graduating *hopefully* December 2009 and possibly moving because my boyfriend will be...
Does anyone who is already in the nursing program at Jeff State have any study tips as far as for the ERI? I don't have trouble studying for lecture exams, but the ERI is what caused me to fail one of...
If you do fail the exit ERI and it's your first failure in nursing, do you then have to retake the last semester? Or do you have to start over from the beginning. I've heard something about people...
Well, my first semester we took the calculations ERI and we got our results in a few days (they did it paper and pencil - not online). Then when they were going to schedule the people who needed to...
That's at Jeff State? When was the policy changed? I'm actually 2nd semester. Taking peds to be exact. I failed the nutrition in the spring, which when I took the practice test I scored way above the...
If you know what the first unit you are covering you could read over that chapter in the book. Our school also has math tests the first day of each semester, even the first semester, so a lot of...
Hi! I'm a new member, though I have been looking around the site for a while before I joined. I'm a student at JeffState and I should graduate December 2009. I love this site because there is a lot of...
I know I have seen this question in various forms, but my specific question I haven't seen anywhere, so I was wondering if anyone had an answer for me. I am currently a nursing student in Alabama, but...
Oh, you are completely right. I was asking my mom about this because she has worked in a pharmacy for 20+ years and when I read her the question and told her the choices her reply was "codeine with...
I agree that hopefully they will change the pass/fail aspect of the ERI. I ended up withdrawing from a class because I failed my 2 attempts at the test, but I was passing the class. I had a teacher...
I actually learned a lot by doing care plans - once I figured out what a care plan entailed. A lot of people complain about them, and I agree, it is a lot of work especially with all of the other...
I am in micro now. Actually about to end the semester though, my teacher was great. I took her for a&p 2. I would recommend her. If you want to know who it is pm me and I'll let you know. She...
