  1. I need some advice please!!!

    0402 replied to MMDearing's topic in General Students

    I am a military wife as well (and based on where you say you might be stationed, I'm guessing we're both Marine Corps wives), and I just graduated from nursing school. I used my own GI Bill, so for...

  2. Getting ready to graduate - question about resumes

    0402 replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    I came from a totally different field, but I did not put my clinicals in lieu of work experience. Personally, I was in the Marine Corps, and while I didn't do anything healthcare related, there are...

  3. Priming and spiking?

    0402 replied to RNashley86's topic in General Students

    I remember the first day we were in the hospital and our instructor and the RN giving us the tour kept talking about Is and Os, and I was so confused. I kept trying to figure out what it could be....

  4. RN Jobs: INOVA Fairfax Hospital

    0402 replied to racknroll's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't know where you live, or if DC is within your commuting distance, but Sibley just posted 2 new grad positions (ortho and med/ surg), if you're still looking for a job. WHC still has their...

  5. CNA and GI Bill

    0402 replied to SBSN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you already enrolled in the BSN course and using the GI Bill for that? I would think that if you are, and the CNA course is not offered through the same school, you could only go to one school at...

  6. For CA NCLEX-RN takers

    0402 replied to sunshine999's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It took me 16 days to see my name on the BRN website. I didn't know it, but my school was very slow in sending out transcripts, so that was the reason for the delay. I did pass. I had a few...

  7. Do I need a BSN or will a MSN do?

    0402 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just graduated in May from a Master's Entry Program (I have a BA in Spanish), and I do not have a BSN. I did not have any problems getting hired- I just explained our program and how it

  8. Carseats for premies

    0402 replied to nicunana's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The Chicco Keyfit and Safety First Onboard start at 4lbs, but I don't work in a NICU, so I'm not sure how many more babies that would help, with the extra pound. I have heard from techs that these...

  9. New Grad RN (civilian)and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton???

    0402 replied to mommalumps's topic in Government, Military

    Camp Pendleton does not normally take new grads (military or civilian). Exceptions can be made, but it's usually on the military side. Balboa (like Bethesda on the East Coast) has a new grad...

  10. pre reqs

    0402 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely depends on the individual school, as well as where you're coming from. I already had my Bachelor's when I started my prereq's (in a foreign language, so no science background), so I had...

  11. A question to new grads...how satisfied are you with your new salary ?

    0402 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    New grad position I just got is around $27.60/ hr or so (plus differential for evening, nights and weekends). I had a bit of sticker shock, due to my classmates (in San Diego, though) making around...

  12. -How long did it take you to find a job as a new grad?

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

    Technically 3 months after graduating, but from the time I started applying, it was one month. We just moved (across the country), so I was really worried, because I have no connections in this area...

  13. Seriously, where are all the jobs!!

    0402 replied to racknroll's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Inova had one RN 1 position open up in June, and I was told they had 650+ applications for it. Have you looked in DC, also? We just moved here, so I had no connections in the area, and my timing...

  14. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    0402 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CA seems to be pretty slow right now. Remember that they don't work the first 3 Fridays of the month, and they only update their online system once a day, which bring it current to the day prior, so...
