  1. New RN's...do you have a job ?

    gunrock replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's a PDF so you might need to download a PDF reader...if not, go to google and search for "UPENN Guide to Nursing Residency", it should be the first link / on the first page and you should be able...

  2. Hiring Process

    gunrock replied to mscariRn's topic in General Nursing

    Generally speaking, HR & Nurse Recruiters are your best friend when it comes to the hiring process (in any job). Give them a call and see what they normally do; they shouldn't have a problem...

  3. New RN's...do you have a job ?

    gunrock replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Going along the lines of what Priomo said above.. Not sure if this has been posted yet, but check out UPenn's list of new grad residency programs:...

  4. Where do you find new grad nursing jobs in VA?????

    gunrock replied to LoveNursing4ever's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What about UVA? I don't think that's been mentioned yet. They have a new grad cohort starting in Sept and October, there are PLENTY of RN Clinician 1 positions online right

  5. New grad taking ACLS course??

    gunrock replied to nurseypoo87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was told by numerous nurse managers / recruiters that ACLS is not something they look for and that it's not something they expect new grads to have. Their reasoning was, since ACLS is a perishable...

  6. Possibility of Undergrad working in the ICU towards becoming CRNA

    gunrock replied to fmiller007's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Columbia has a direct entry CRNA program. It's VERY competitive, and you still have to do 1 year of work in an ICU in between your BSN and CRNA, but it's an...

  7. Prerequisites for BSN

    gunrock replied to Rock34's topic in General Students

    Pre-reqs will depend on the school you're interested in. You'll have to do the leg work to check out the programs you're interested in and look on their websites / give them a call. Most likely you...

  8. Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

    gunrock replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats on the job and NCLEX! Why not live in the city? Baltimore is a great city with a lot of diversity and there are plenty of nice areas within the city limits. If you're thinking about living in...

  9. New RN's...do you have a job ?

    gunrock replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There is hope! Just landed a job in an ICU as a new graduate, will graduate in a few

  10. How many semesters is your program?

    gunrock replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

    "4 semesters", 2 of them are abbreviated for two summers...a little over 13

  11. ACLS

    gunrock replied to kujomonster's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone with a CPR BLS card can take ACLS, whether or not it will be useful is another story. It's usually a one or two day course depending on who you take it through. Just search "ACLS (your city)"...

  12. Housing near University of Maryland, Baltimore

    gunrock replied to love-d-OR's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm going to venture and say that most people who are saying so many negative things about Baltimore, have really never lived here and if they have lived here never gave it a chance. Baltimore has...

  13. Tell me about using your iPad for school

    gunrock replied to studentsara's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would save the money and not get an iPad. The majority of the people in my program do not bring laptops (I would say maybe 10/150 bring them). They are great and fun, but like you said,...

  14. Stethoscopes?

    gunrock replied to luvnhim's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The Master Cardiology is overkill, especially for a nursing student. Save your money and get a Master Classic II. Yes, a master cardiology is great (my brother who is a resident in Cardiology) has one...

  15. Bay Area New Grad Programs in 2011

    gunrock replied to nicrn7's topic in California Nursing

    From my understanding UC Davis does not have a formal new grad program, rather it's unit dependent. They do have "new grad" jobs though, I've seen a few go up pretty often recently. This all info from...

    gunrock replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    gunrock replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats and thanks for answering my questions! Good luck sweetie85! Are both of you graduated and licensed? I'm just curious since I'm still in school, and won't be done until July. So I'm just...

  18. Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

    gunrock replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Pokytrokyt, thanks for the info! sorry for the late reply. For everyone that has applied and gone on to interview, what was your timeline like? From applying to hearing from the recruiters to actually...

  19. UCLA New Grad RN SUMMER 2011

    gunrock replied to studystudy's topic in California Nursing

    That's really odd that people have different choices, here are the choices that I have available on my screen (including L/D) MICU/Ronald Reagan UCLA Cardiothoracic ICU/Ronald Reagan UCLA Liver Tx...

  21. Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

    gunrock replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Pokytrokyt, I looked briefly on their website and don't see any openings under nursing jobs. Did they take the one you applied to down?

  23. Help/advice??

    gunrock replied to Tigger101770's topic in General Students

    There are plenty of people who suffer from anxiety and depression who make great nurses, don't feel like you're alone. The worst thing you can do is not get help, especially if you feel like it would...

  24. Accelerated BSN Program help

    gunrock replied to lotsofsunshine's topic in General Students

    Like many of the people who have posted before me, don't let anyone / anything discourage you. I graduated from a UC, with a fairly low GPA (just barely higher than yours), and I was accepted into a...
