  1. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    I asked for clarification when I was there today. They said that there are 2 steps to the clearance- the first is getting cleared to attend orientation (1 PPD, physical exam and I think one more...

  2. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    I interviewed with the mgr from med/surg pulmonary, but he said he didn't have any openings, so all I know is med/ surg. I'm definitely going to ask about doing the 2nd PPD and fit test during...

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    I have to get my PPD read tomorrow, and then I have to do the whole process again next week. I have to do my fit testing, but they only do it on Tues (from 4-5 or something) and Thurs (from 10-11),...

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    I had my physical yesterday, but I have to go back 3 more times (tomorrow and then twice next week), and I have to go to my dr to get cleared because I fx my foot last month. I did just find out...

  5. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    Make one more post- I think you only need 15 to be able to PM someone!

  6. Can I withdraw acceptance of an offer??

    0402 replied to B*moreRN's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    They told me I had to be doing it in Internet Explorer on a PC (we're a completely Mac household, so that was annoying), but after running an update on a friend's PC, I got it to

  8. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone that started in July, and she told me 100%, they did not have a specific commitment length. I guess they could have changed it for this start, but I know as of then, they did not have...

  9. Advice for those new RNs looking for jobs

    0402 replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would research the hospitals in your area and learn when they post the job listings for new grads that would be starting in Jan/ Feb. Where I am, many of them actually post in Sept/ Oct/ Nov, even...

  10. Can you give a flu shot wrong?

    0402 replied to Toad38350's topic in General Nursing

    My poor daughter got one incorrectly 2 yrs ago (last year, she did the mist). She was only 5 at the time, but apparently the nurse assumed she was going to move (which she did not do), so she...

  12. Should I take the job?

    0402 replied to BeSweet's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked at MWR/ MCCS (I'm not sure what service you are)? I recently saw that at the base we just left, they had an opening for an RN, but it was a little more "out of the box" type of job....

  13. 12 hour shifts vs. 8 hour shifts

    0402 replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone done 2 -12s and 2- 8s? I think that, for me, with 3 small children, this might work out well, but I'm not sure. There is the drawback of 4 shifts per week instead of 3, but I think it...

  14. Balancing school with motherhood & a deployed husband.

    0402 replied to ashleighannb's topic in General Nursing

    I have done this twice during my journey through prereq's and nursing school. I was doing my final prereq's when my husband deployed for 7 months, and we had a 3 mo. old, a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old....

  16. Sentara RN program graduate

    0402 replied to miss_smartie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It's also important to look if a program is fully accredited. There are many programs that will allow you to sit for the NCLEX and become an RN, but they are not fully/ regionally accredited and...

  17. Help, what's up with this?

    0402 replied to studentnurserachel's topic in Government, Military

    Where is the next closest recruiter? I would talk to another Army healthcare recruiter (even if they're not nearby, I would call). Just because one recruiter doesn't want to help you, it possible...

  18. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    0402 replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    We were told that all professors/ instructors will be addressing using Dr/ Prof/ etc unless they tell us otherwise. Almost all of our classroom instructors had a PhD or DNP, so that was easy. In...

  19. Are there any jobs?

    0402 replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Are you applying in DC, too? I live in NoVA, and I have gotten 2 interviews for new grad RN residency/ programs (and 1 job so far), both in DC. It's about 20 miles, roughly, to either hospital from...

  20. Kaplan College, Student Loans??

    0402 replied to Pouneh's topic in General Nursing

    Unless something has changed drastically in the last month or 2, Kaplan in SD is not regionally (WASC) accredited (yes, you can sit for the NCLEX, though). If I was paying $864/ credit for an...

  21. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still waiting for CA to verify my license so DC can issue mine. I saw today that the CA BRN was nice enough to cash my check, but they still have me listed as San Diego and DC still has me as...

  22. How to get a job?

    0402 replied to Katieroo522's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the area you're in. In some places, they won't really look at you until you pass the NCLEX and have a license. In other places, they put up job openings now for jobs that start...

  23. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    0402 replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know nothing about this specific program, but there are MEPN programs that are not NP programs. They are usually Clinical Nurse Leader programs, and their graduates have an MSN, are RNs but do not...

  24. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. They gave me a number to call and after about 300 attempts and one last update to Acrobat, it finally worked. When I called HR earlier, they also just...

  25. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

    0402 replied to natchan23's topic in General Nursing

    You might still need it, since there are people that get the vaccine but do not end up with a positive titer (only thing I can think of). They didn't tell me anything about vaccinations or anything...
