Hello! I'm a newer nurse with about 5 years total experience. Most relevant would be 2 years on a busy med/surg/onc floor. I've been in Oncology Research for the past 9 months, and have an interview for an OR residency in like 2 weeks. I'm super nerv...

I know exactly what you are going through. It is a TOUGH market out there for new grads without a BSN. I'm also a diploma program grad. I have been working in home care for a year since Feb 1. It's definitely not where I want to be, I have been enrol...

So I have been in a home care type setting job for 11 months now, I have been trying to land a hospital position since October 2013, I have had 3 interviews in this time (1 being the current job I have now). I recently updated my resume to the below ...

Hi all, Wondering if there are any applicants to Abington Memorial Hospitals Dixon School of Nursing for the 2011 year? I originally applied for 2010 early decision, but ultimately was placed on the waiting list. Because I wasn't accepted for 2010,...

Mind if I ask which hospital?

PA (phila area) Graduated ADN 9/4/13 Passed NCLEX 9/23/13 Started real job searching in October '13. Got 1 interview for an OR internship - didn't get it. 2nd Interview Jan 2014 for home care/independent living - began working Feb 2014. I've applied...

Hello! I need help with my resume. I am still a "new grad" per se, but I finally have RN experience to add to my resume, but am not sure how to word it. I graduated from a diploma program in Sept, got licensed in Sept also, but it took me until Janua...

Not quite sure- I believe it is a type of program that may offer jobs to some of the candidates at the end of the residency. I have to ask all of these questions during the interview.

I am a newly licensed RN in search of my first job. I graduated a hospital based program in Sept, licensed in Sept also. I've been applying to jobs left and right, with no responses whatsoever. I just recently (last thurs) applied to a Graduate Nurse...

I have an interview for an OR graduate nurse residency on Tuesday. I've had my license since Sept and have applied to numerous jobs with no call backs. Everyone wants experience. This residency is only $15/hour and would be a hefty paycut from my cu...

Ah the dreaded, "experience preferred", yet no one is willing to give the experience. It is the same for every area, not just NICU. I'm in the same boat (NICU my first love), but I can't get any call backs for any RN job in this area (PA). Very disco...

Couldn't have said it better myself. I am a career switcher with a family to provide for. I went to a hospital based diploma program (most clinical hours around) in the Evening/weekend option. Graduated in Sept, licensed in Sept also - I am applying ...

I went to Dixon - i'd say stick with Temple and get the BSN done. Every hospital says BSN preferred. I'm 2 months after passing the boards and this job market is BLEAK (and that's putting it nicely).

This is probably a silly question. I am a newly licensed RN - still looking for employment. I have a 5 year old who will be entering Kindergarten in Sept 2014. Besides help from family members, how are you able to get your kids to and from school on ...

depends on your situation...there is a small window you have to still be hired without a BSN right now. I myself went ADN for two reasons, I had to work full time, so I needed an evening/weekend program. The ADN program I went through also had more c...

I've been to visit the NICU a few times with my daughter - also I shadowed one of the nurses during my clinical rotations for 1 day. Thought maybe I could leave my resume with the receptionist or something. I've had my license for a month now and I'm...

Hello all - old thread but I searched St Chris and this came up. I am really trying to get in the NICU over there as a new grad (Dixon diploma program). I have applied online, but I feel like that is so impersonal. I also sent an email along with res...

Hello everyone! I just took NCLEX on Monday 9/23 and have received my license! I went to a diploma program (2 years). I plan on starting BSN in January. I am the Mother of a former Micropreemie who will be 5 in a few weeks. Since her birth, I have k...

So I am finally prepared to apply. I live in a major city and am applying to a well known Children's hospital (they have 2-4 open NICU positions). They have the option to apply online, but I am thinking maybe I should try to call the hospital, ask fo...

congrats on your acceptance!! come join our facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=...49204305140837

I can't vouch as to which school is better per say, but if you look at NCLEX pass rates, Roxborough has 100%, whereas Dixon has 92%. But, you also have to take into consideration that only 53 students took the nclex for Roxborough, and 106 for Dixon....

I'm there! I sent a request- but it does't look like a group? Did you just create a new facebook user, or an actual group? The group would allow all members to post on the wall, create discussions, etc. But if it is just a fb user page you won't ge...

I paid the acceptance fee yesterday, just want to make sure I am on top of things. I've been reading the FB group from 2012 and there is A LOT to prepare for before the classes even start. I've filled out my fafsa for 2011-2012, now I am just waitin...

I got my letter today!! I'm still in work, but Fiance opened it for me---I GOT IN!!!!!! So hoping you all hear the same great news- let us know. And Jen- I am for sure interesting in getting a little group together- we are def going to need each oth...

oh boy, that must have been a nail biter when ya looked at the envelope lol i am going nuts, first thing i ask my fiance when i get in the door is "wheres the mail??" its bad. i think i may even be too scared to open the damn thing. Good luck to all...
