Thanks for all the advice everyone!! I'm going to have awesome cheat sheets now!!

I've been having the same problem but I think its the ride home that is causing the headache...

It's been 2 months since I got licensed in NJ and I still can't land a job :'( I've applied everywhere! Nursing homes, hospitals, surgi-centers. Ahhhh!!!!!! Everyone wants someone with experience but no one wants to allow me to gain any experience!...

Also, as a side note. The day that I wrote this post I went to the career center at school to meet with the nursing career advisor. I wish I had done this before because she e-mails me almost everyday about job openings, nurse recruiters names and ...

I don't think soo.... Try calling though. The person I talked to took down my name and told me to call in 3 days and she promised to have it for me. So you can try that... As long as you have all your info in and your fingerprinting they should b...

Wow!! Good for you guys having jobs already!! I'm still job hunting I was just going to say it took 3 weeks for me to finally get my license. When I called the BON, they said that they have a staffing shortage and computer issues and thats why...

Were you able to get your license number over the phone??? It will be 2.5 weeks for me on Monday, I plan on calling the BON then. Hopefully they will have a number for me.

I also did two externships in Peds but the hospital I did the externship in sadly isn't hiring anymore

I worked as a PCT in a hospital about 45mins to an hour away from me so I was hoping to work some place closer. (hence another hospital) But I worked for about one year as a PCT med surg

Hello!! I'm a nursing student and I'm currently in my pediatric clinical. I hate feeling like a bother to the nurses and hounding them for information or things to do. Is there any advice from any of you wonderful nurses on what I can do to be mor...

bernbabybern, I have a 3.1 GPA. Originally, I wanted to go to Vet school and thats why I took Bio as my major but you need at least a 3.5 to get into Vet School and unfortunately I did not make that cut. So, now I'm doing Nursing. Which was alway...

I still needed to take A&P I and II, and Stats. Also, I did graduate until last week and they wanted my dipolma earlier I think.

Hello! The applications for fall 2009 arent due until Aug 15th. SOOOOO.... You probably wont hear anything until late July early August. I applied for the Summer but they pushed my Application back because I was taking too many pre-reqs during th...
