  1. Cool PRN Job ideas

    StarryEyed, RN replied to 3ccBolus's topic in General Nursing

    I have a per diem job with a blood bank at their mobile units as an RN. As my interviewer told me "It will be the easiest nursing job you will ever have". Seriously, I sign off on quality control...

  2. Forced to come into work on day off

    StarryEyed, RN replied to deletethisaccount's topic in General Nursing

    Judging by all the new grads trying to get a job, I can bet that they've got tons of ppl wanting that job. The hospital just does not want to hire more ppl or new grads and they would rather strain...

  3. Question re ACLS

    StarryEyed, RN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why I stated that I didn't just memorize them (for the sake of passing). I suck at memorizing and I actually learned the information and the rationales and the reason why the rhythms look the...

  4. Question re ACLS

    StarryEyed, RN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why everyone is saying you won't be able to pass ACLS without having all the rhythms down. Granted you will need to know quite a few to pass, but its not anything you cant learn in...

  5. Getting married during Samuel Merritt ABSN program?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to melevang's topic in California Nursing

    Are you applying to the regular BSN or Accelerated BSN? Lots of our classes only met once a week and some teachers said if you miss a day you get docked a half letter grade automatically. Some of the...

  6. NG jobless for 8 months, is there hope?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    Lizzie, you should call Mollen ASAP! They have made calls to applicants right away after applying. I didn't wait for that. I called them immediately the next business day and they hired me. Many...

  7. Pinning Ceremony Keynote Speaker

    StarryEyed, RN replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    My class also selected our (favorite) professor who had connected with us all on a deeper level than just teacher/student. He was amazing and I dont think any of us will ever forget him. We also had a...

  8. NG jobless for 8 months, is there hope?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the same boat as you. However last week things turn a turn. I was accepted to a RN Internship/Volunteer program, I got hired with Mollen Immunization Clinics to give flu shots, and interviewed...

  9. Should I Take the Chance/Sacrifice?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not older, but I had to make a similar decision. I started dating an absolutely wonderful guy in Nov 2008. About a week after our first kiss I got the call that I was accepted to the nursing...

  10. Dear well-meaning friends and family members: the rantings of a jobless new grad

    StarryEyed, RN replied to R!XTER's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had to deal w/your last 2 full paragraphs but apart from those I feel JUST llike you! "Oh that's great you're a nurse, you'll always have a job" Umm NO! "Oh I know so-and-so hospital is...

  11. Define the terms: letter of eligibility & ATT

    StarryEyed, RN replied to darcicat's topic in California Nursing

    I registered on pearsonvue before I got my ATT. I think I even paid the $200 before that. When i finally got my ATT I got freaked out that taking the NCLEX was that much closer so I procrastinated a...

    StarryEyed, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I've always been interested in helping out w/the bloodmobiles. I came across a position for an RN on a BloodMobile and wanted some information from this community on experiences working for the...

  13. RN Bloodmobile duties

    StarryEyed, RN replied to StarryEyed, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Vampiregirl, thanks for the info! I'm actually really excited about the chance to possibly work on a blood mobile. It's an on-call position so I think it's perfect for me so i can continue to search...

  14. Anyone use JoAnn Zerwekh books for NCLEX prep

    StarryEyed, RN replied to Elleveein's topic in General Nursing

    same here. I figured either I pay $499 and pass the first time. or i fail and get all my money back. I didn't even read the entire purple book that Kaplan gives out. Nor did I finish doing all the...

  15. CEUs for RNs in SoCal

    StarryEyed, RN replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    No prob :) I'm in the same boat... Still without a job. Unfortunately I took boards just before my birthday this year making my license valid for only 14 months since the first time around its valid...

  16. CEUs for RNs in SoCal

    StarryEyed, RN replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    Classes like PALS or ACLS give you lots of hours. I got 16 hrs from each of those two classes. I got an addition hour from attending a Society of Pediatric Nurses meeting because they had a guest...

  17. Resume/cover letter help for a "lower" position

    StarryEyed, RN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I've been on the hunt for an RN position for so long now and it's getting frustrating. I want to be back on the floor with patients, helping them. In the meantime, my bank account is getting...

  18. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    I really liked the program. I know some of my classmates might disagree, but I also think it has a lot to do with your attitude. They told us that we need to be flexible and it's really true. I know...

  19. How many of you got into nursing school with the first try?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to heartbeats's topic in California Nursing

    I only applied to Samuel Merritt University's ABSN program and got in on my first try. I even applied way past the deadline (oops). My problem was that i was too scared to apply anywhere for fear of...

  20. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    StarryEyed, RN replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    I will only say what I saw while I was in nursing school in Sacramento. Some hospitals (for example UCD) have made a goal to have all their RNs be at least BSN educated by a certain year. UCD said...

  21. What would be a better route: ADN or Entry Level MSN

    StarryEyed, RN replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California Nursing

    I had to make this choice over a year ago, too. I had a BA in Spanish and wanted to do nursing. I ruled out ADN because looking at the accelerated 2nd Bachelors programs and entry-level masters...

    StarryEyed, RN replied to AloeBlox's topic in California Nursing

  23. Nclex feb 20 2010

    StarryEyed, RN replied to mval637's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can do it. Make sure and rest before your exam. Everyone from my class who took it so far said to take the day before the exam off from studying. I did that (as hard as it was). I walked discovery...

  24. questions wrong

    StarryEyed, RN replied to jnw8606's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The way it's been explained to me and from what I have read, the test is essentially looking for you to start averaging 50% right/wrong. Have your teachers shown you the graph of results for nclex? as...

    StarryEyed, RN posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi, I have applied to Samuel Merritt and was wondering if anyone who already knows the process could explain it all to me. The admissions process, any interview required, notices of...
