You and I are in the exact same boat. I was terminated on the 6th of Nov b/c the unit was too fast for me. I also relocated to a completely different town for this job, and now, believe it or not, I am having a hard time finding a new position that I am qualified for. Would going through another residency program be possible?

fantastic!!! It made my day

I am currently a senior at UW- Milwaukee (graduating in 41 days :yeah:Yipee!) The program is pretty difficult to get accepted in, but if you do a good job on the essay portion of the application anything can happen. Personally, I think the program is in a state of constant change. (You will be making it better for the next class just like we did.) Overall the program is good, parking is ok...especially if you take the shuttle onto the campus. Most of the professors are great, a few are not. I think that's the same anywhere you go. The big emphasis at UWM is community nursing, so if that is not a field you are interested in, some of the classes and projects may seem a bit boring. The city of Milwaukee is a little rough, there are quite a few robberies around campus, and it really isn't a good idea to go out after dark (I wouldn't take night classes there...) The campus police sends email notices to the students if anything happens and that's the only reason I know about them. I commute and haven't had any issues with theft at all. Good luck with whatever path you choose...

I have a few hobbies that let me vent my creative juices, but I don't think I will have much time for them anymore, I start school in 2 weeks. :) I had better find a way to creatively study.....

Nice to meet you. This is a great site. Have fun exploring!

Signed... thanks for the heads up!

maybe the huge Hepatitis A outbreak that recently happened in PA because of tainted scallions (imported from Mexico) from a Chi-Chi's restaurant. But that's just a guess. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,103757,00.html

Actually it is quicker here to go the BSN route as there is a !!3 year!! :eek:waiting list to get into the ADN program. I will finish school at least a year earlier by going the BSN route. Can't wait to start.... Oh, and my dream job is either L&D or NICU. Looking forward to many more posts on here...so many people, and not all cynical like on the newsgroup. Take care, (like any of you wouldn't.) Jen
