Hi, Can someone please tell me what is the starting salary for a new grad at UVA? I am going to an open house that they are having in Philadelphia next week. Thanks.

I too can't understand why you are focusing on the negative comments instead of the positive ones. There are a lot of people cheering for you. Whether we passed the exam on the first, second, or more tries, we know the anxiety that comes with prepa...

Congrats! so good to hear good news.

Best of luck. It definitely sounds like good news.

So, what are the hourly rates for new RNs in nursing homes? Are they pretty close to the rates offered by the hospitals? Thanks.

Thanks Betterme for the advice. I will go there and hand it in person because email is not working for me at all. I really want to work there. Do you think they're still hiring?

Thank you so much! I think I would enjoy working with the elderly but I am a little cautious because I k eep hearing that I should start my career at a hospital. It's good to know that you can work at a LTC and be happy at your job. Do you know a...

Congratulations!!

Thank you so much everyone!!

Which states are the best for new grads to be in?

nursingbabyJ, I just sent you an email.

It's at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

I've only finished 1 quarter of nursing school. The only thing that I wished I had brushed up on was physiology. They don't really review that stuff, so it would have helped to be more familiar with where everything is. Some of the NCLEX review books...

Thanks hiddencat and Jerome FJ. From the orientation, we hear so much of how intense this is and not planning for anything. It 's good to hear that you guys are able to have a life through this.

Thanks lill ms mommy.That is pretty encouraging. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed without school and I wonder if it's realistic to add something else to the equation but it's good to hear that you did it with 4 of them and working part-time. Congrats o...
