  1. I'm a NICU nurse!

    LETRN replied to aerorunner80's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good for you! That is

  2. Hesi Complaint Phone number

    LETRN replied to jgg765's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ditto. I think the level of pressure students are experiencing because their programs are requiring it to graduate is the fundamental problem, in conjunction to the school's program not preparing...

  3. Horray! Job Offer in the ER

    LETRN replied to TheEmmyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it's sad that people are whining on a celebratory post. To the OP...congratulations! I also was hired in the ED and start June 1st, we can celebrate

  4. Nursing School GPA

    LETRN replied to spritez's topic in General Students

    I can't comment on GPA for Master's program, but I think the old adage of C equals RN is outdated. In this job market, grades DO matter no matter what people say. When my class applied for limited...

  5. Class of 2010!! let's hear you!

    LETRN replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate with my BSN on May 14th! It's been one long hard road :yeah:for 2010

  6. what is a good age to be done with school?

    LETRN replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    I graduate on the 14th at age 27...so I guess that's the perfect age I'm so glad I didn't rush into college after high school. I would have picked some random career because it sounded good in the...

  7. Can you begin applying for jobs before you actually graduate?

    LETRN replied to hera78's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It varies state to state and system to system, but in MO graduate nurses are allowed to practice if they can sit for NCLEX within 90 days. We started applying at the end of February, were interviewed...

  8. New grads and Jobs

    LETRN replied to AF Nur's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. My nursing school is through a local hospital...not to mention the hundreds and hundreds of clinical hours we've completed over the past 4 years, and they still don't show preference to its...

  9. Job as New Grad?

    LETRN replied to Jess_Missouri_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Spfld, and our internships start on June 1st...we began applying and interviewing at the first of March. I can't really comment on whether it's difficult to get a job if you wait, but I do...

  10. NO REPLYS

    LETRN replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in General Nursing

    I try to respond to MO posts that I can offer insight on...but I live in Spfld and know nothing about

  11. Graduate Nurse starting salary? All feedbacks welcome!

    LETRN replied to Pugwawa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm also in MO in a smaller city and our starting pay (with BSN, without differential) is $17.75. I've heard that STL is starting at

  12. Three-part strategy should ease nurse's student-loan debt

    LETRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are a lot of threads about the pay difference, but in my area they pay BSN prepared nurses $0.50 more an hour. The final cost of my BSN program was

  13. Hesi Exit Exam-RN exit exam

    LETRN replied to MaresRN2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took it yesterday and passed with a 1015. It was difficult and I was sure that I bombed it because I was uncertain on so many of the questions. Don't stone me, but I did nothing to study...we...

  14. Would you go to the live NCLEX review?

    LETRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the HESI exit today and scored a 1015. Our school's policy is that we do not have to attend the live HESI review for NCLEX if we score over a 850. I still plan on studying on my own, but am...

  15. Would you go to the live NCLEX review?

    LETRN replied to LETRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly? Nothing. We never received so much as a review book beforehand, even though we shelled out a ton of money for the 'program.' I really don't know how I did as well as I did...I was shocked...

  16. Best State for New Grads

    LETRN replied to Kelliqua's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I live in SW MO and the market for new grads here isn't too bad...all of my graduating class that wanted a job has one. The hospital in which I got my job has an internship program with 16-20 weeks...

  17. Who pinned you?

    LETRN replied to missbutton's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My convocation is May 13th and we can decide who we want to pin us. Although I had many good instructors over the past 4 years, no one has really stood out as someone I want to choose...so I may just...

  18. New RN w/$99k debt - Pay Off Plan

    LETRN replied to sozo's topic in General Nursing

    I would imagine it is either this program: http://www.hrsa.gov/loanscholarships/repayment/nursing/ or this one:

  19. Hospitals not hiring LPN's???? What's ur input??

    LETRN replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    The hospital in which I work stopped hiring new grad LPNs a while ago. Supposedly it is because on an adult medsurg floor there are so many IV push drugs that have to be given by a RN, it becomes...

  20. can an unlicensed nursing assistant empty foley's?

    LETRN replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a patient care tech doing everything that certified NA's do, which includes emptying foleys. It's not exactly splitting atoms, after

  21. In your opinion, what is the hardest class in nursing school?

    LETRN replied to believeallispossible's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a weirdo, because I didn't have too much trouble with adult med-surg or pharm...my hardest class was Theory and Research. This was partly because I had an idiotic advisor who didn't catch that I...

  22. New RN applying for Jobs

    LETRN replied to NursieN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you establish any kind of rapport with nurse managers while on clinical? I was recently hired in the ER (I graduate in May) and I know that I stood out to be chosen to interview because I did a...

  23. Is your facility currently hiring new grads?

    LETRN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    LETRN replied to MrRockerSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    never mind! I just read your post about finishing up

  25. Does anyone have difficulties delegating tasks?

    LETRN replied to MU2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am terrible at it as well...and I also graduate soon. I think part of my problem is that I have been a CNA/PCA for the past several years, and don't feel qualified just yet to be giving orders,...
