  2. Phone interview scheduled for new grad position. Advice?

    haunani replied to itri4vt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    haunani replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    haunani replied to Tua15395's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Residency vs. Orientation?

    haunani posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    The hospitals to which I'm applying are about half/half as to their offering either a residency program or a standard orientation for new grads. Is one better than another? If so, why? What would...

  10. Residency vs. Orientation?

    haunani replied to haunani's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wasn't trying to generalize ALL residencies and orientations. I'm well aware that there are differences in facilities and in programs. Of the hospitals I've spoken with, along with the few local...

  16. TC3 Students

    haunani replied to krazylady's topic in New York Nursing

    Actually, there IS a waiting list for TC3. They outright accept 60 each year and put 20 on the list. They generally end up taking 12-14 student off the wait list as originally accepted student drop...

  17. Mercer university advice please!!!!

    haunani replied to Atl_Queen's topic in General Students

    Mercer's financial aid people are fantastic. I didn't go there for nursing, but was actually down at the Macon campus for my engineering degree. They really helped me with

  23. Is there anyone who thinks school is not that bad?

    haunani replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in General Students

    I'm not finished with school, so I hope I'm not jinxing myself here, but in all honesty, I haven't found school to really be that tough. I have classmates who do nothing but read, study, study, read,...

    haunani replied to nocheapones's topic in General Students

    AP1 and AP2 aren't pre-reqs for my program, but most people take them beforehand to get them out of the way. Since I didn't arrive in the state until 1 semester before starting nursing school, I...
