  1. Enhanced Nursing Licensure Compact

    fitRNpic replied to NurseBETTYjo's topic in General Nursing

    I too would like to know what is going on with this. I currently work in KY on my WI

  2. New Grad NICU Support Thread

    fitRNpic replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have applied to positions in Pediatrics, PICU, NICU, SCN, Nursery, and OB/LDRP. I haven't had any luck with any of

  3. New Grad NICU Support Thread

    fitRNpic replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I know this thread is basically for New Grads in search of information about NICU, but I want to know if there are any hospitals out there that hire inexperienced nurses into NICU? I graduated in 2007...

  4. How long does it take to get a job in chicago:(

    fitRNpic replied to lifein08's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I graduated from nursing school in 2007 (BSN). I have applied to every hospital in the Chicago area, including the suburbs, and still have not received an offer from any of them. I've had interviews...

  5. November 2010 Air Force Board Selections

    fitRNpic replied to w2cross2blue's topic in Government, Military

    So, talked to my recruiter today. Most of those that were/are alternates are being called to see if they are still interested and if they would accept certain COT dates. Recruiters were also sent a...

  6. Air Force Nursing Boards 2011

    fitRNpic replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    "I was led to believe by my recruiter that only RN experience and hospital experience counts. I will check again." Hospital experience counts if you are trying to apply to a specific specialty...

  7. Air Force Nursing Boards 2011

    fitRNpic replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    Any experience as a nurse counts. It does not have to be all hospital experience or all experience as an RN. LPN experience counts. It's just that the military does not accept LPNs, so they must get...

  8. November 2010 Air Force Board Selections

    fitRNpic replied to w2cross2blue's topic in Government, Military

    Wow, it has been a really long time since I have written anything here. I have been passed around to different recruiters since this all started. The one that took me to my interview was moved to a...

  9. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I was told by IL MEPS that the physical is only good for 1 year. I don't see why/how it would/could be good for 2 years. As for the letters of recommendation, I have done these twice already: Oct/Nov...

  10. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't given up and will not give up, but my nursing journey thus far has been ridiculous! I went to nursing school specifically for neonatal intensive care and have worked in every area of nursing...

  11. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    To answer your question, the first recruiter I talked to in March 2008 went back to her old job in March 2009. So I had to deal with a new recruiter that was taking her place. He was more interested...

  12. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I would have rather heard that I was an alternate vs being told that I was on the non-select list. At least as an alternate, you don't have to re-submit your packet to the board again. As a...

  13. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    No tips to give at this point. The issues that everyone has been facing in the civilian world has finally caught up with the military and they just don't have the positions right now. They selected a...

    You can't send a PM until you have more than 15

  15. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Not at all. And I am sorry if I came off the wrong way. I am just so frustrated with everything . Throughout my whole life I have had nothing but bad luck with everything. When I decided to go to...

  16. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    But in past, they had taken all candidates, whether they were the best or not because they didn't get very many applicants. Because of this god-forsaken economy, we have to compete with those that...

  17. How to make your packet Competitive for Board Selection

    fitRNpic replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    There is another thread on here near the top called "Air Force October 2010", you will find selects and non-selects posting here. So far, not looking very

  18. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Still would have been nice to place all of us as alternates instead of making us re-apply and force us to compete with all of the nurses that will be applying in the near

  19. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    What I don't understand though is if this is the case when it comes to alternates, then why weren't all of us selected as alternates in case a position does become available at a later date instead of...

  20. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I just spoke to my recruiter and I am on the non-select list! I have been waiting for 2 years for this and to not be selected is very disappointing. He said that they had 8 applicants for 1 NICU...

  21. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I know this is an older post, but was going back through this thread. I live in Illinois and my Chief Nurse Interview was in Ohio! Definitely had to travel pretty far so I feel

    WooHoo Congratulations!! I hope that I too am a selectee! Would be awesome to find out this week so if it was good news, could be shared at Thanksgiving! If not good news, I'd rather wait and find...

  23. NEW GRAD - MADISON

    fitRNpic replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Nursing

    I have applied for those positions at Mercy and never get a call or anything from them. Plus, as much as I would love to work in this area, I don't have any "experience" so am not usually chosen for...

  24. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not saying that experience doesn't carry much weight, but how is a newer nurse supposed to get any experience if no one gives them a chance or "the time of day" to prove to them that they too...

  25. Air Force October 2010

    fitRNpic replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    My situation is completely different. I am 29, prior service Army MP, I received my BSN in 2007. I have been trying to get into the Air Force since spring of 2008. That is when I first contacted a...
