  1. Where did you find financial aid when you decided to go for the 2nd degree in nursing

    0402 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    Combo of GI Bill and loans (old GI Bill barely covered anything from my first year, so I have significant loans from that year, but the post 9/11 GI Bill covered quite a bit my 2nd yr). I have a...

  2. In need of child care

    0402 replied to geminidiamond's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried sites like sittercity.com or care.com? I know people have found good nannies through those sites, and I'm not totally sure, but maybe they have a section for people looking for a...

  3. RN jobs in Virginia

    0402 replied to racknroll's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks for the computer help- I switched to Safari and there were all of those listings. =) It apparently doesn't like Chrome, either. I live in FFx Cty, too (with 3 small children), and I...

  4. New RN License Validity

    0402 replied to CaliRN74's topic in California Nursing

    No worries- I had the same question when I saw my expiration date, too.

  5. New RN License Validity

    0402 replied to CaliRN74's topic in California Nursing

    I believe the way they say it is that the first one is good for one year and then expires on the last day of the month after the one your birthday is in. Let me see if I can find the link: Renewal...

  6. RN jobs in Virginia

    0402 replied to racknroll's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What's wrong with my computer then? Weird, weird stuff. I've been wondering how there has been nothing out there for so long (and someone I work with said she saw the same thing). Stupid

  7. RN jobs in Virginia

    0402 replied to racknroll's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Pretty crazy, though- if you go to the INOVA HR webpage and just put in nursing as the category, with no other limiting factors, you get zero matches. None at

  8. Results confused? PVT trick accurate???

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

    It took 16 days for my results to post. Apparently my school was very slow at sending out transcripts, and they won't post until your package is

  9. Patient Care Facilitator role?

    0402 replied to Kilika421's topic in General Nursing

    We have a position in our hospital called a Clinical Care Facilitator. To me, they sound a lot like CNLs with a different name, but they are new on my floor, so I'm not totally familiar with...

  10. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

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

    I understand some of the hostility towards nurses that were actively recruited from other countries just because hospitals feel they get "more bang for the buck," if you will. However, I'm not really...

  11. DC Area Job Opportunities

    0402 replied to Conan the Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had no connections anywhere, either. I didn't even go to school here (I went to school in San Diego- about as far away as you can get), but we moved here on my husband's orders, so I didn't really...

  12. Parking at WHC

    0402 replied to 53127's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely walkable- I'd say about 1-2 minute walk to the hospital (though your specific unit might still be several more minutes once you're inside; it is a pretty big place). I'm not really sure...

  13. Parking at WHC

    0402 replied to 53127's topic in General Nursing

    We have a parking lot for employees. Cost is $25/mo. We are also allowed to park in one of the garages after like 3pm or something, so most night shift people park over there. Personally, when I...

  14. Just moved to DC in Dec looking for a job with no luck yet.

    0402 replied to RNBSN88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's definitely hard- I know what you mean. My husband got back from deployment in April, I graduated in May, took the NCLEX in June, 4 days later left CA and got here in mid-July. We have 3 little...

  15. Just moved to DC in Dec looking for a job with no luck yet.

    0402 replied to RNBSN88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Military to medicine never suggested working as a CNA when I talked to them- that's BS. The only thing they really offered me was a job as CPOE "assistant" or something like that. I guess it was a...

  16. Just moved to DC in Dec looking for a job with no luck yet.

    0402 replied to RNBSN88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Looks like Sibley also has some RN I jobs

  17. Just moved to DC in Dec looking for a job with no luck yet.

    0402 replied to RNBSN88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you contacted Military to Medicine? (militarytomedicine.org) They help vets and spouses get jobs. They didn't necessarily help me get the job I have now (graduated in May and PCS'd here in...

  18. How many of you do rotating shifts? Day and night?

    0402 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    We rotate, and if I'm understanding the way we schedule correctly (I just got off orientation, so next scheduling period is the first time I actually get to put in my requests), we can't even get one...

  19. I don't want to be "clueless" when I hit the floor

    0402 replied to momuv4qtz's topic in General Nursing

    The least discombobulated people I knew right out of school were people that did a year long externship during school and then got hired onto the same floor. They had been getting to know the layout,...

  20. Started new job - how do I bring up time off for vacation

    0402 replied to NewPaltzRN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, you cannot get any PTO until you've worked there for 90 days, even though you are accruing it. They joke that if you are going to get sick, plan on doing it on day 91 or

  21. LVN or BSN - San Diego - Help!

    0402 replied to janettezp's topic in General Students

    Many of the cc nursing schools in that area are wait lists, and they generally run about 3 yrs long (I believe all of the ccs in SD county are wait list; not as sure about the OC). I have heard that...

  22. Cop to Nurse resume questions

    0402 replied to bds165's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest challenge is taking those skills and experience and "translating" them. I think we had a class on it in TAPS, but I can't remember back that far. =) I did the best I could...

  23. Cop to Nurse resume questions

    0402 replied to bds165's topic in General Nursing

  24. Working nights with a family?

    0402 replied to scrubbee's topic in General Nursing

    I actually see my kids more when I work nights. If I do days, I'm out the door at 0545 (before they get up) and the earliest I'm home is 2030-2100 (after everyone is asleep; I occasionally see my 7...

  25. Fastest way to learn spanish?

    0402 replied to USMCseng's topic in General Students

    i dont think you answered the op's question nor did you give the rest of us insight to how we can go about learning it I clearly said at the beginning that I think the best way to do it is a combo of...
