    stargurl2006 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all! I graduated from an NP Program about 4 years ago. There were delays from my school at graduation due to COVID and a cyber attack. I then had personal tragedy which caused me to be unable to...

    stargurl2006 replied to sheenmarie26's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Summerlin hospital had just posted SEVERAL new grad positions for their med surg floors maybe 2 weeks ago. Last I checked however, they were already taken down. Set up job agents for the hospital job...

  6. Advice please!

    stargurl2006 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll spare the exact details because its a long and very specific story that would probably get recognized on this site. I am a new grad nurse working in a hospital as ancillary staff. I have done 3+...

  7. Benefit of NCLEX in Arizona vs. Nevada

    stargurl2006 replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It does not matter what state you physically take the NCLEX in. It is where you have your results sent to (for your RN license) is what matters. If I wanted to take my NCLEX in Alaska, I can do that...

  8. landing an ICU job

    stargurl2006 replied to cd365c's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Never assume that because you work in a unit that you will be able to move into an RN position in that unit! I had a few classmates that worked ICU as CNAs but were told they had to work 2-3 yrs in...

    Thank you all for your replies. I am trying to stay positive since its a position I really want. But, I am aware that my chances of being one in hundreds is slim. I truly hope that they weren't...

  11. Suffer through or quit?

    stargurl2006 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have a dilemma. Through nursing school, I have worked in a hospital setting as a tech. My manager assured me through school that I would start as an RN when I passed boards. I graduated in May and...

  12. CNA @ CSN?

    stargurl2006 replied to armywife808's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I went through the program 4 years ago, so it may not be as relevant as someone who went through more recently. I didn't feel it was very hard for someone who had finished almost all the prerequisites...

  13. Suffer through or quit?

    stargurl2006 replied to stargurl2006's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you for your replies. It's been a rough week for me. The frustration with my job at the hospital is growing now that I've gotten a taste of RN work. I can't scale back my hours, but I'll hang in...

  14. Hospice nurse orientation

    stargurl2006 replied to RNmommynk's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you all for your replies! I waited it out to see how things would play. Apparently, the person I followed isn't on the "team" that I will be on, but she was supposed to show me the basics of the...

  15. NRP required BEFORE hire?

    stargurl2006 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am not sure I am posting this in the right place. I am a new grad nurse and I had an interview for a nursery/pp position within the hospital system that I work for. During the interview, the charge...

  16. NRP required BEFORE hire?

    stargurl2006 replied to stargurl2006's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the responses. I was freaking out because of that. I wasn't able to find any open classes in my city when I posted this, but I found someone who will do a skills check-off for me if they do...

  17. Question about applying

    stargurl2006 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok, so I just received my RN license. As I'm looking for jobs to apply to, almost all (99%) of the job postings specifically require experience and/or state "no new grads." Do you still apply for...

  19. Question about applying

    stargurl2006 replied to stargurl2006's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    stargurl2006 replied to ksw1978's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work on an inpatient pediatric floor as a CNA and unit secretary. Most of the parents of complex medical kids are very hands-on in the care of their children. Usually the trach kids stay at IMC...

  22. Babies and nursing school

    stargurl2006 replied to brazooke's topic in General Students

    I would tell you to wait! It is so hard. My daughter was 16 months old when I found out I was pregnant (during my winter break after first semester). Second semester went okay. I took my mental health...

    stargurl2006 replied to fasnv's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm a cna & I chose to go straight to ADN. Here, the entrance requirements for the LPN program & ADN are pretty much the same (save for a few gen eds). I had already done those gen eds while...

    stargurl2006 replied to helloporcelain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked up until the day I delivered my daughter as a CNA in LTC. I am now 8 months pregnant with my second as a CNA in a hospital. Very doable. Not easy but
