When I graduated nursing school in Dec. 2012 I did some interviews and decided to take my first job in Psych. I decided to do that because I wanted more experience on how to deal with those patients because I was frustrated in nursing school how ever...

I really want to work in NICU or PICU one day but at the hospitals in my area they don't take new grads at all. I am also having problems getting hired on at the children's hospital here as they seem to hire from the local schools first. I was think...

The main place I've been looking at that is willing to hire me does mainly vents which is why I was looking at them. SDALPN I would actually love to work at a Dr's office but they unfortunately are not willing to hire unless you have 1-2 years of exp...

I take my NCLEX RN Friday afternoon and kind of confused on what else I should be studying. I am finishing up the HURST review book for the 2nd time tonight and have been doing at least 50 questions a night over the past week. I know tonight should b...

There's not going to be an October cohort they merged it with June.

I graduated in December and took my first RN job at a state mental health facility in February. When I couldn't land a L&D or NICU spot anywhere I decided I wanted to try mental health for at least a year or so. Well, now I'm finding myself never...

When I went there was 5 of us and 3 people interviewing. They had us fill out a paper that asked questions like your weakness, strength, where do you want to be at in 5 years and other similar actual interview questions. The interview it self took 1 ...

You have to be enrolled in an NCLEX review course or have something similar to it. They accepted one of my classes this semester for the NCLEX review course as thats all we work on in the class. If you have a similar class you just need to have the p...

I actually just got a reply back. Children's ED is full, 1 spot left in NICU, and Children's acute still has spots open.

Does anybody know if there is anyone we can contact to see if certain units have filled positions or started interviewing yet? Has anyone by any chance heard anything about NICU, Children's ED, or Children's Acute Care?

This isin't a question about ED but how do you like working for Scott & White? If I remember right you went to MSU right? I go there and we had a girl interview for ED yesterday at Scott & White! She said it seemed totally different from the...

I know someone who doesn't even have an interview for OR until next week and she said they were scheduling some for after Thanksgiving as well.

Finally got to finish my phase 2 of the application today. Hopefully its not to late and I still have some sort of chance...

Did you have to ask to shadow or did they want you to shadow?

Have you heard anything back from them since your interview?

Has anyone heard from NICU or Children's ED yet?

Yah someone from Human Resources told me all the applications (besides Med-Surg) is only open for October and some of them require longer contracts than others depending on how long the internship is. Med-Surg almost always takes applications and the...

Oh well hopefully there just going over other applications and you'll get a call back. Luckily Med-Surg doesn't go through the same deadlines as the other internships so its always a possibility later. Med-Surg is not my first choice either so I'm ho...

They actually allowed you to do a phone interview? I got a call today for a med-surg interview and the lady stressed that it was very much preferred that I do an on campus interview with them. I'm 4 hours away, and maybe I'm much closer than some of ...

No I haven't heard anything from the Children's ED and I've also been routed for awhile. But I have heard that some departments like to wait until after the applications have to be turned in to actually call anyone. I don't know how accurate that act...

Hey everyone I am also applying at Scott & White. So far I have applied for NICU, Children's ED, and Children's Acute Care. I also applied for the ED, just because I always wanted to work there and I do enjoy it, but since I'll be living in Austi...

Go buy the book "Calculate with Confidence" or just use dosagehelp.com

I have to agree there is no reason why med math should be a class at all. Its pretty simple math and I know at all the schools around here you have to have college algebra before getting into the nursing programs. I do think maybe if the students are...

We actually have to purchase all of our lab supplies. A bag that comes with everything we will need for all of our nursing labs is about $200. We get those 3 items you mentioned (plus a whole lot more) in our bag though. Maybe the school is just tryi...

Ive used many digital textbooks for my nursing classes when they are available and worth the price. I try to use coursesmart.com as then I can use it on anything (computer, phone, ipad, etc).
