  1. quintiles

    wetzoo replied to jenniebethrn's topic in Research

    If you can get in at Quintiles, I'd recommend just starting there. Fantastic upward mobility (supposedly within 2 years, you can move to a clinical research associate position), and the training you'd...

  2. Non-nursing jobs

    wetzoo replied to LithEruiel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Clinical research organizations like PRA International, Quintiles, Parexel, Convance, etc may hire new grads as entry level clinical research associates, but those positions are rare/few and far...

  3. Are jobs becoming more available

    wetzoo replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Care to share some of these tactics? I'm sure these unemployed new graduates would love to know where these readily available jobs are and how to get

  4. What kind of non-clinical jobs RN new grads are getting?

    wetzoo replied to mybabies2000's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Clinical research organizations like PRA International, Quintiles, Parexel, Convance, etc may hire new grads as entry level clinical research associates, but those positions are rare/few and far...

  5. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    wetzoo replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm positive that it's not only young nurses that make bad interview mistakes....? If you find these new grads so challenging to interview, or in your words- "arrogant" and "privileged" , change...

  6. KCMO Hospitals, St Lukes

    wetzoo replied to estubbs07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad and I'm actually interviewing for a position at St. Lukes this week. It took about 3 days after applying to get the call. I don't remember seeing any openings for NICU or L&D, but I...

  7. If you hate being a CNA will you hate being an RN too?

    wetzoo replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    And why do you think that being a nurse would change any of

  8. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    wetzoo replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand what you mean by this. In order to get to those higher level questions, you must first pass basic level questions. If you kept getting basic level questions wrong, then you would...

  9. Need advice on leaving current job

    wetzoo replied to casnee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do your best not to burn any more bridges. I know that some people might be of the opinion that they would have been angry no matter what how you gave your resignation but you just really never know....

  10. Ever wonder...

    wetzoo replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    As I already posted, a general lack of communication was her problem. As well as her dismissive demeanor. And again, had she simply said, the pharmacy was working on it, there wouldn't have been a...

  11. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

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

    I can speak from very recent experience that finding employment as a new grad is, indeed, tough. For me, getting interviews wasn't the hard part. The hard part was beating out the other 5-7 people...

  12. Anyone familiar with MU's Accelerated BSN Program?

    wetzoo replied to RH-CentMO's topic in General Nursing

    PROS: The program is extremely diverse. My class had so many different personalities and I loved getting to interact with them. Reputation. Having the Sinclair School of Nursing on your resume helps....

  13. What do I do after my clinical instructor told me I will never be a good nurse?

    wetzoo replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Simply put- use it as fuel, and prove her wrong. It's amazing the things you can accomplish in the face of adversity. I have a previous degree, and was told this in gentler words in my first semester...

  14. Ever wonder...

    wetzoo replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    It was already an hour and 1/2 late, and a simple, "I ordered it, and pharmacy should have it up asap" OR any communication at all would have been nice. But the "eyeroll'' emoticon was a nice

  15. Ever wonder...

    wetzoo replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't. It was pharmacy calling her to tell her that his antibiotic was ready, hence it being "oh perfect!". Regardless, if that were the case, a quick, "I apologize but there is an emergency in...

  16. Ever wonder...

    wetzoo replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    YES. My father was in the hospital a couple of months ago. I'm not a fan of this hospital in the first place, but he insists on going there for his doctor. He called the nurse, she came in, and he...

  17. Discrimination, discrimination.. Tell me what you think.

    wetzoo replied to MaravillosaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    While this may be true in the hospital you work, I think that claiming that discrimination in the hospital setting is "rare" is a gross generalization. Unless you are hiring people all all around the...

  18. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    wetzoo replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I agree. Not to mention passing the background check for boards, and getting employment. Honestly, I really don't know how such an arrest would be perceived, but I'd say that the peace of mind of not...

  19. Second Degree BSN--afraid past will haunt me

    wetzoo replied to finally a path's topic in Nursing Career

    For the accelerated program I attended, you had to have at least a 2.8 overall undergrad GPA to be considered. I've seen 3.0 for other ABSN programs. Nursing courses would not be considered in this...

  20. The reverse end of "my preceptor hates me"

    wetzoo replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with this. Problem

  21. Willing to come to snow new grads there are jobs here.

    wetzoo replied to mentalhealthRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're in KS?I live in KC and applied for a local residency program. I was told 20 people were interviewing for one position. "Hiring 14 new grads" sounds great on paper, but not so much when there...

  22. shorter time, bigger debt...smaller debt, longer time

    wetzoo replied to i_luv2_care2013's topic in General Nursing

    Go straight for the BSN. In the current job market, you have to look as competitive as possible, and that would be the person with the higher degree and the most

  23. Working with student nurses

    wetzoo replied to LisaRN1105's topic in General Nursing

    Same. When I did my internship, nurses on my floor regularly encouraged interns to delegate to the techs (I was even told one time to, "no offense, stop acting like a tech"). As a senior student, you...

  24. Truman Medical Center Nursing Residency Program

    wetzoo replied to skinandbones's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried University Hospital in Columbia, MO? I graduated there, and decided to move back to KC based on personal preference, but everyone in my class who stayed in Columbia found employment...

  25. Truman Medical Center Nursing Residency Program

    wetzoo replied to skinandbones's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to you. Hopefully it went well. I had a phone interview before the residency deadline (which was surprising) but I haven't heard anything as of yet. I was told that onsite interviews were to...
