  1. Did you sign a contract for your first job?

    Violet08 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was just wondering how common it was to sign a contract to stay at a hospital for a certain length of time if they hire you as a new grad. There is a large penalty for breaking the contract. Did...

  2. Did you sign a contract for your first job?

    Violet08 replied to Violet08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I signed the contract. The other nurses with experience in orientation were really surprised that we had to sign. Just to be clear, this is a contract just to be hired as a new grad. The hospital...

  3. I dont get it! Critical thinking questions are whipping me.

    Violet08 replied to Amybeth56's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. Did you sign a contract for your first job?

    Violet08 replied to Violet08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There is not a sign on bonus. I don't really have a choice about signing the contract, the job offer is contingent on signing and I don't have any other offers. I am not that concerned about it,...

  7. Staten Island- What hospitals are my best bet as a new RN?

    Violet08 replied to Violet08's topic in New York Nursing

    SueNYC - Thanks for clarifying for me. Hospitals in NJ are hiring some nurses but they are favoring internal applicants or nurses with experience or have new grad programs that want a BSN. I did...

    Violet08 replied to Natik79's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Violet08 replied to Violet08's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  12. Has anyone here ever taken an anatomy class online?

    Violet08 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I took A&P I online. I got an A, but I did not like the course and really don't feel like I learned as much as people who took it in person. But I don't generally like online classes. The labs...

    Violet08 replied to Violet08's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, sorry if I wasn't clear. I live in NJ now and have a current NJ license. I was hoping to expand my job search into Staten Island, since the NJ job search has been unsuccessful so far. Thank you...

    Violet08 replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    I just want to point out that different states, hospitals, and schools have different rules about what nursing students can do. We were NOT allowed to start IVs or give IV push meds ever in clinical....

  15. A little dismayed...

    Violet08 replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    I can relate to you! I hated clinical because I felt like I didn't learn anything. I spent a lot of time waiting around for the instructor to check my meds with me or answer a question. We did...

    Violet08 replied to nuttynurse74's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    Violet08 replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    Does your program have a med-calc book required? Maybe you could get that early and practice. I really did not find the math portion of nursing school difficult but many students did. We lost quite a...

  18. Any Jobs in Ocean or Monmouth Counties for New Grads?

    Violet08 replied to Jersey Nursing Girl's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    My advice: Get a job in one of the hospitals as a nursing assistant or a PCA. Keep the job until you get a job as a nurse. The hospitals in do prefer experience and a BSN but the have been hiring new...

    Violet08 replied to acceleratedstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear that your entire group failed. I would be surprised if they would let that many people not graduate. I imagine that they may adjust what score they expect based on the difficulty...
