  1. Rutgers Accelerated Program - Testing out of certain prerequisites

    LoriNJ replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm fairly certain you can take them at a community college. At least one person I went to school with did that. But if you have questions about what will transfer, why not give the school of nursing...

    LoriNJ replied to MinteScrubs's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  3. Graduate Nurses-- any luck on jobs?

    LoriNJ replied to MeggaRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    LoriNJ replied to untamable07's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    LoriNJ replied to tlt24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I definitely agree, go for it! A "new grad" just started on my floor- she had been working as a clerk in the hospital since nursing school graduation and she is doing great, even though she didn't do...

  8. Losing your skills?

    LoriNJ replied to ErinJane's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I definitely understand where you're coming from, I worked for 4 months in a department store after graduating from nursing school while I was job hunting. I really felt like I wasn't going to...

  9. So who got a job and how?

    LoriNJ replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can't say that any of the traditional job hunting methods helped for me. I was looking in a new city where I had no connections, so networking wasn't really accessible. I would apply online and...

    LoriNJ replied to LoriNJ's topic in General Nursing

  13. Shadowing post interview - Is this a good sign?

    LoriNJ replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I sent a thank you note to the three people that interviewed me and then a separate one to the nurse that let me tag along on my shadow day. I feel like it couldn't hurt- they did ask the nurse I...

  14. Should I apply for a license in every state I'm trying to get a job in?

    LoriNJ replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is a really good question! I just applied for a license in another state to see if it will increase my chances of getting an interview. I had called nurse recruiters and a few hospitals basically...

  15. Shadowing post interview - Is this a good sign?

    LoriNJ replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. If not really our passion, how do we play it on an interview?

    LoriNJ posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I'll start this off by saying I don't even have an interview to have this problem but I am curious about this: Hospitals want you to be passionate about them and the position you're applying for....

    LoriNJ replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure
