    Georgetown Online FNP Student Review

    Hey everyone! There isn't much available on a review of the Georgetown online FNP program, so I figured I would write one! I'm currently almost done with my first year in the program and working on my clinical hours. Application process: 1....

    DUKE DNP/MSN Spring 2018

    The Duke email is the outlook address. I haven't heard anything either about registration, just about financial aid. :-)

    DUKE DNP/MSN Spring 2018

    Have you already had your interview, PEDICU? I haven't heard of this, but I wouldn't read too much into it until you talk to her!

    I applied to the MSN in education program. Interviewed at the beginning of August and anxiously waiting to hear back! Does anyone know anyone that has been through the masters program? Any idea how they do the courses? (Scheduled class time vs. recor...

    Kaplan Question Trainers!

    Just finished Kaplan Question Trainer 6. Whew! 200 questions at a time is rough, although I took at 5 minute stretch/water break at 100 questions since I'm planning on doing that if (*knock on wood*) I get over 100 questions. I'm taking the exam June...

    Georgetown University FNP Sep 2015

    Hi there! I'm super excited to be admitted to the FNP program beginning in September. Will likely be doing the part-time option as I'm currently working 40 hours a week. I live in the California Bay Area. Looking forward to meeting everyone and start...
  10. Hey guys! This website has been so great to me over the years that, once I passed boards (which I did today officially - hurray!) and got a job (which I got a month before I graduated) I would put together a posting on how to best get a job in this e...
  11. Hey everyone! Couldn't find a thread started for this yet. Who has applied? Anyone interviewed yet? I have my interview on Thursday! Super excited.

    How long did it take you to land your first job?

    I'm from California. I aggressively pursued new graduate residencies (only applied to two direct-to-the-floor positions) and received a job offer in April 2013. I graduated in May 2013, took boards in June, and started the residency in July. Hold out...

    Relaxing before NCLEX ?!

    I got a massage and a manicure/pedicure the morning of my exam. Best decision I could have made! I went in feeling calm and confident.
  14. Currently in an 18 week Versant program and absolutely love it. From what I've heard from recruiters, it's a great thing to have on your résumé for the future. In these residencies you get a bit of everything regardless of what unit you're on - for e...

    Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    Congratulations on your acceptance! Just think about what you really want. Personally, I went the private school route to guarantee getting in and out as soon as possible. (Granted, my school was a horrible experience overall where we were guinea pig...

    Adventist Health New Grad Program, Central Valley

    Oh, and the interview process was pretty straightforward. I went in for an informational interview after pursuing the program for a while. The interview itself was with three other managers and there were a lot of clinical questions. I think the tot...

    Adventist Health New Grad Program, Central Valley

    The program officially starts at the end of the month, but I just finished up orientation this past week. It's a great place to work for thus far. I actually don't mind living in Bakersfield at all. There are some pros and cons, although I think I wo...

    Failed NCLEX first try, but not understanding the report

    Personally, Kaplan is wonderful for figuring out the areas you're weakest. Do questions in that particular area then use Saunders for any content you're missing - Kaplan is pretty useless for content, IMPO.

    Wait to see with your final results. The pop up may be negative for the CC page (although never for the "good" pop up.) Just wait and get focused.

    Tips and Tricks on How to Get a Job as a New Graduate RN!

    Both of you guys don't have bad or wrong advice and neither is mine. I do wish that you would understand where the post was coming from and, Wish_me_luck, quit trollin' my post and make your own if you think that I'm incorrect. ;-) (Kidding. Althou...

    Tips and Tricks on How to Get a Job as a New Graduate RN!

    Of course! If you can, definitely try to get a job in the hospital you want to work at! Not to be a Debbie Downer myself, but you're going to have to try extra hard to get there, especially as an ADN. In California (I don't know how it works in other...

    Tips and Tricks on How to Get a Job as a New Graduate RN!

    Informational interviews are exactly what they sound like - you're contacting the nurse recruiter, HR director, etc. and requesting more information about the hospital and the job/new graduate program. It's a great way to get a sense of how you might...
