  2. Took NCLEX-RN Exam today (YIKES!!!)

    EmilyLucille523 replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Whatever you do, DON'T give up. I have a friend who failed the 1st time and on the second one he passed (and was a nursing student who had failed his first time around and came back and graduated)....

  3. Wage Freeze

    EmilyLucille523 replied to island40's topic in General Nursing

    I know that GRMC was on a hiring freeze but now have a few open positions for new grads. U of I is laying off people but I was told that the recruiter was going to hire a few new grads when her...

  4. How long it takes to receive Att, once you submitted your application to state

    EmilyLucille523 replied to eye-sea's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It should take about 3 weeks. I remember though that our instructor told us that if you provide your e-mail address you'll receive your okay to test by e-mail only and will NOT get a paper letter. The...

  5. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    EmilyLucille523 replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Iowa is one of the lowest paying states for nurses (#48 nationally). New grads tend to start at $18-$21/hr depending on where you are hired. They're trying to working on raising the pay but not...

  6. New Grad having hard time getting job. Greensboro

    EmilyLucille523 replied to Volleyjen8's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    FYI...I looked into Randolph at Asheboro and they are already full on their New Grad positions and they said to check back in June to see if there are any openings then (in other words if any of the...

  7. How far would you commute for your first job?

    EmilyLucille523 replied to Guest321574's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Having 2 children myself, I would probably not commute for more than an hour each way. I've done it once before and I felt exhausted by the end of the day and that was at a time when I didn't have...

  8. New Grad having hard time getting job. Greensboro

    EmilyLucille523 replied to Volleyjen8's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I just Yahoo mapped UNC in Chapel Hill and that would be too far for me but I'll definitely look into the Asheboro one. I know that it is really hard to get a New grad position...

  9. New Grad having hard time getting job. Greensboro

    EmilyLucille523 replied to Volleyjen8's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I applied at MosesCones in Greensboro and they told me that they looked at my profile and filed my papers away (in otherwords, not interested in me). High Point Medical Center in High Point, they...

  10. New Grad having hard time getting job. Greensboro

    EmilyLucille523 replied to Volleyjen8's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I applied at 4 hospitals in that area and the only one who called me was Baptist. I was so excited until she said that she had already hired a group of students so I needed to wait until May 1st to...

  11. Iowa - RN Pay

    EmilyLucille523 replied to MidEvil's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals don't really hire LPNs anymore so you're looking more at long-term care facilities. I work at one in small town Iowa and they start at $12.60/hr with no experience. Then you get a $1...

  12. New Grad Internships in NC

    EmilyLucille523 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anyone from the Triad area in NC? I have applied to the New Grad Interships at North Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, Moses Cones-Greensboro, & High Point Health Systems-High Point. Has anyone...

  13. New Grad Internships in NC

    EmilyLucille523 replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you remember what kind of questions they asked you from HR? Is that when they want to know if you are in there for the long haul? Or they ask you want your strengths and weaknesses

  14. New Grad Internships in NC

    EmilyLucille523 replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, Moses Cone told me they were going to keep my forms "on file". Foresyth Medical told me they had over 300 applicants for New Grads and already hired 1/3rd of them, so they're not taking in...

  15. New Grad Internships in NC

    EmilyLucille523 replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry to hear about Moses, but I'm glad you found something. Just out of curiosity. Why did they do a phone interview and not do it in person? I Know how competative it can be but what are they...

  16. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    EmilyLucille523 replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm starting to apply now but the market is bare here (Iowa). Most places have job freezes or are laying off. It's pretty bad. I've been applying in hospitals in NC but have been hearing that it is...

  17. i am kinda in a ackward situation..

    EmilyLucille523 replied to adorblepuppy's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I personally would have gone to work and just wore a mask for the full shift (trust me, I've done it before). It's uncomfortable, but I hate putting excess stress on my co-workers by calling out....
