hi all, i was recently terminated from my rn job at a major teaching hospital. i was let go after working there for only 2 months. how do you move on after this? i was in denial for the first 2 weeks, now reality is setting in and i need to figure ou...

Hello to all my fellow nurses, I am a new RN who is struggling to find my niche. I know most people say to work in a hospital for the first year and then you can go anywhere. What if the hospital is not a right fit for me? Always a struggle dealing w...

Yes, I received my BSN in May of 2011. I did the 12 month accelerated program, never doing that again! I felt like I had to cram everything in that year. Took the boards in a month and a half and passed on the first try. I'd say it was worth it in th...

I just read that you resigned from your job. How's the job search going for you? I'm afraid no hospital will hire me because I was terminated in such a short period of time.

I know exactly how you are feeling. I was terminated without warning. I was still orienting and I brought up a safety issue to my supervisor. I was also passive when I was pretty sure I was going to be terminated, feeling like I could have done more ...

I do want to go into public health someday doing public awareness campaigns and providing care in underserved areas. I am very interested in world health and epidemiology. I know that it's important to have that one year's hospital experience since t...

No, this was not an issue of discrimination. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit by saying I had to work 10x harder to stand out as a male nurse. What I mean is providing genuine and compassionate care doesn't always come naturally for me. I know that I ...

Hi, I hope things have started to look up. I have recently been terminated from my first nursing job at a major teaching hospital. I was told that I don't have to be given a reason for termination since I was still on probation as a new nurse. I know...

Thank you for the words of encouragement :-) May I ask what field of nursing you're in? I am questioning whether bedside nursing is for me. Don't get me wrong, I love doing all the care required of a bedside nurse, just sick of the politics that go o...

Hi, I can relate to your post on many levels. Definitely went through all the stages of Kubler Ross grief model. DABDA!!! Now I know this happened to me, I am not the only one and definitely won't be the last. All this free time has allowed me to ref...

Okay cool. Are you from the area? I'm from NYC. Are you looking into campus housing? I plan on living in Hillside, I think we have to apply separately for summer housing...so annoying!

Has anyone submitted their deposit to Binghamton already? I am waiting to do that this week and I was wondering if you got more information regarding on-campus housing and course scheduling. The acceptance letter was quite generic...agree?

Hey admitted BATS :) Can someone tell me how much the tuition deposit is and how much time you have to send in your response. Thanks!

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you IslandBreeze!!

Due to financial issues, I have decided to release my seat as well. I just got accepted to another accelerated nursing program and will be going there instead. Good luck waitlist hopefuls :)

The wait is OVER!! I got ACCEPTED to Decker's BAT program :) Good luck to everyone waiting to hear!

Thanks for the info !! Yes, i think i will have to call them and find out! I got my packet from Rochester last week. I will have to take out A LOT in student loans if I decide to go to U of R. Binghamton has a great nursing program and I get to save ...

Congratulations Lindsay! It's great to hear that they are finally admitting people into the BAT program. Did you see any changes on your BU Brain after you log in to check your requirements? My page is still the same. Trying not to psych myself out! ...

FIFTEEN!!! That's crazy! Hopefully being a male applicant will up my chances of getting in! Promise to let me know when you hear from Decker and I'll do the same!

Has ANYONE received a letter from Binghamton? I am starting to get anxious! I was told that they're still admitting and we should hear from them real soon. It seems like no one has heard yet! Good luck to all BAT program applicants.

I just got the phone call ! I got accepted into the accelerated nursing program. So excited to start my nursing career!! The fact that I'm a male must have factored into their decision. I graduated cum laude from SUNY Buffalo. Good luck to the rest o...

I submitted my app for the May 2010 BAT a week before November. I've been told they just started to review applications so we won't be hearing from them until end of February. Guess we just have to sit tight and WAIT!!

So....I FINALLY got my letter in the mail today. It's a denial Trying to stay optimistic. I am keeping my fingers crossed for an offer at Binghamton or Univ of Rochester!! CONGRATULATIONS to all who got accepted For those of you who are curious, I...

Word is out that all decisions were made last Wednesday. We should be getting something in the mail this week *fingers crossed* Good luck all!
