    sweetER replied to jabwemet's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my NCLEX-RN this morning... 75 questions and two hours later I checked Pearson Vue and got the good pop up :). Now just have to wait two days for my quick results. SO glad that's

    sweetER replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in Emergency

    So glad you asked this! I am a new grad starting my orientation in ER soon and was wondering about this as well.

  5. I'm in my first semester of my BSN, not sure if I can do it.

    sweetER replied to brielle776's topic in General Nursing

    You're not alone. I just graduated with my BSN, but there were many times I felt completely overwhelmed by all of the things I had to do- multiple (hard) tests in the same week, papers due, clinicals....

  6. Trying to get hired....

    sweetER replied to germanshep's topic in General Nursing

    I live in north Georgia, and I agree that it is much easier to find a job in a more rural area. I went to a school right outside of Atlanta proper, and while many of my classmates did find jobs (most...

  7. I got an ER job! Now, reading/other suggestions please?

    sweetER posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi all! I am a new grad nurse as of three weeks ago, and I got the call yesterday offering me a position with a level II trauma center ED that I interviewed with. I accepted and I start in a couple...

  8. New grad L&D interview help?

    sweetER replied to sweetER's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I asked what the process was for orientation (as in, did it include any classroom time or not), if the preceptors they used were specially trained for being a preceptor, what problems they had...

  9. New grad L&D interview help?

    sweetER replied to sweetER's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. New grad L&D interview help?

    sweetER replied to sweetER's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For the L&D interview, I scheduled my shadow day that Friday the same week of my interview, and then heard from them 2 weeks later. For my ER offer, it took 3 weeks after the interview, even...

  12. Rash from hand sanitizer?

    sweetER replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree with the above post. Studies have shown hand sanitizer to be just as effective as washing with soap. Neither sanitizer or soap stay on your hands and provide lasting germ...

  13. New grad L&D interview help?

    sweetER replied to sweetER's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It went well, and they offered me a job. I decided not to take it for a number of reasons, though it seemed like it would have been a good place to work. I have been since hired to a level II ER and...

    sweetER replied to RescueNinja's topic in Emergency

  15. Commuting.....Need advice!!!

    sweetER replied to DIVA-RNMOM24's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated and got an RN job 20 minutes from home. Until I start there, I am still a tech at a place 50 minutes from home. I thought when I took the job that I could handle 50 minutes easily and...

  16. how to follow up after job application?

    sweetER replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wait about a week after I apply, call the nurse recruiter (just call the general number and ask for the NR if you don't know their name), and usually get a voicemail. On my message I say, "Hello, my...

  17. Interview on Wednesday

    sweetER replied to RescueNinja's topic in Emergency

    I don't know about the first question, but for the second, I always keep it to what school I went to, that I finished with honors, I worked at this place for x amount of time and what I enjoy about...

  18. Employability of new grad nurses in Georgia

    sweetER replied to ladymarfee's topic in Georgia Nursing

  21. are people seeing movement in the nsg job market?

    sweetER replied to hbgwan's topic in General Nursing

    I think things are definitely looking up. I was prepared to be looking for a nursing job for at least a few months when I graduated (last month) due to the experiences some of my classmates who had...

  22. Got the job only because of who you know?

    sweetER replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I know several of my classmates who did get jobs because of who they knew, but most of the ones who got jobs got them because they worked as techs at the hospital before graduation. As for myself, I...
