SJones, Wow! That's not much notice at all. You've been through a whirlwind recently, then! When did you graduate? Has it been hard to find a job or did the move put a damper in
That's what I don't really get. I don't know. It's hard, in my mind, to grade a qualitative thing like verbal answers to a question... because the grading system would likely be objective. Unless...
I actually asked about the tracks. The Adult track, if selected for it, encompasses all adult floors - so if you're hired on the "adult track," you may end up on the critical care track. You do, I...
Thanks for the well wishes! I just went hunting for a new outfit for the interview and found something! I'm way excited and glad to finally have something to look forward to. I definitely have a...
I think I've put out close to 300 applications and searched surrounding towns. It's really ridiculous. I'm so confused with this market! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to jump the gun by...
I Your comments made me more hopeful. I've been really discouraged out in my area... so I'm really hoping I can get a spot at Vanderbilt :) One of the hospitals just let about 39 students out of...

That website is really useful! I just compared and Nashville COL is considerably lower than Tucson... so that's reassuring. It's crazy when places like California are so inflated when the market is...
Thanks for all your information! I really appreciate the inside track! I'm from Arizona. It's crazy how it's so hard everywhere! My husband's a nurse, too, and he's working about an hour and a...
Really? That's the pay rate? Out here, all the new grad programs start at 24.00$, min. Other classmates of mine started out near 28$/hr. How does the cost of living compare? Does anyone know? Is...
We have a magnet hospital here and they keep only taking handfulls of new graduates. I think we were putting out close to 220 students a semester, with several hospitals having in-house programs....
I heard on Monday, the 28th. We also got my interview scheduled for the following week. I live out of state, so I have to fly in. I'm pretty sure GPA made a difference - the initial interview...
