    CAL05699 replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are several hospitals in Oregon and California hiring new grads this summer. You may have missed the July internships for some of them, but I know that Rogue Valley in Medford is still

  2. Can a new graduate be a hospice RN?

    CAL05699 replied to fireball78's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am a recent grad and am also very sure that I am interested in hospice. I have been a med tech at an inpatient hospice facility for several years. But I decided to spend a year on an oncology...

    CAL05699 replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I got a confirmation email within a few hours. However, I canceled the interview this morning since I had gotten another offer. So hopefully they will extend the slot to one of

    CAL05699 replied to patricianyc's topic in General Students

    I just finished my accelerated BSN in May and I didn't want to learn anything the last semester, just do as little as possible and get out. It's just a normal reaction to studying so hard for so...

  7. really annoying day in clinical

    CAL05699 replied to Isitpossible's topic in General Students

    That is really sad that your instructor had that attitude. I understand the problems of talking about your instructor with someone else at the school and the possibile repercussions, however, if...

  8. Is anyone else out there currently in an Accelerated BSN program?

    CAL05699 replied to chichi11's topic in General Students

    In my accelerated program (which I just finished), we covered med calculations during our first semester in basic nursing skills. We had to get 100% on a test to start clinicals, but we got several...

  9. Just Visited a NS: Impressions?

    CAL05699 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    I would trust your instinct and gut, which is telling you that this is not the place for you. I would instead go to a community college RN program . . . unless there is a reason why you really

  10. HELP, ADVICE... anything on getting a job for a New Graduate RN!!!!

    CAL05699 replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I have a Georgetown BSN and can not find a job. I can't even get an interview. You never know what things are going to be like in a year when you are done with your program, however, I would not...

  13. May 2009 OLD grad, called 17 hospitals today...

    CAL05699 replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds bleak, I now. But it isn't you at all, just the awful situation. Several of my classmates that graduated last year (from Georgetown in DC) went back home to Mass. to find jobs after...

  14. Georgetown Accelerated BSN Fall 2010

    CAL05699 replied to JoeNurseRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Something did happen -- a couple of the December 2009 grads bailed out. I assume WHC is trying to come up with something more

  15. As a new grad should I seek critical care experience first?

    CAL05699 replied to ErinN.'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been told that it is easier to start with critical care and "work down" (though I don't think it is downward at all). But right now, I think that you should take any job that you can

  16. How far would you commute for a hosp job?

    CAL05699 replied to krstxn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the nice words about the Winchester hospital. Hopefully they will give me a call. I actually have neither lived or worked in a rural community before and I think I would enjoy giving it a...

  17. Georgetown Accelerated BSN Fall 2010

    CAL05699 replied to JoeNurseRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Probably in my cohort (we graduated recently), we had at least 30% of the class as direct entries. The majority of them are anesthesia so are off doing their prerequisite year of critical care. Of...

  18. Georgetown Accelerated BSN Fall 2010

    CAL05699 replied to JoeNurseRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi everyone, I am a recent grad of the 2D program. TLM is correct that during the first semester, there is only one clinical day. However, all the other semesters have two clinical days. Also, for...

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

    CAL05699 replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My last final is tomorrow and my pinning is May 21. Although given the effort that I am putting into this last final (I am completely brain dead and unmotivated at this point), maybe that is...

  20. Old grad = no job = depression

    CAL05699 replied to Jane_Diagnosis's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Jane, I really feel for you because I am also thinking of going back to my old profession, at least for a while. It would at least put some money on the table and make me feel useful. But it just...

    CAL05699 replied to krstxn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow Lunah you are a step ahead of me! I just applied there a few days ago, after having read about those jobs on this website. It is actually 60 miles for me because I live toward that direction...

  24. Old grad = no job = depression

    CAL05699 replied to Jane_Diagnosis's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in the same boat. There is just nothing out there in my area. And I mean anything -- LTC, nursing home, hospital, home health. I am just graduating now, but have been looking for a job for six...
