future nurse1

Hi, Can anyone tell me a little bit about John's Hopkins nursing programs in regards to how difficult it is to get in. I've heard people compare it to ivy leagues so that is why I am asking. I am graduating in May with a bachelors degree in English...

I'm not trying to offend anyone or be ignorant by what I am about to ask so everyone calm down. But is it really absolutely ridiculously impossible to find a job as a new grad or does it just seem that way on this website because all the morons come...

Well I already read your original response. You took it down as I was replying to it. I really was not insinuating that all nurses without jobs are morons. I was just asking a simple question. Had I made a statement it would have been rude most d...

I know right. I've gotten more traffic here than all of my past posts combined! Yea I figured that much. I'm not sure what I was looking for here. I think this post was an epic fail lol

I am aware of the situation but thanks for the refresher.

Okay everybody, incase you didn't catch it the first time: I APOLOGIZE for using the word moron and sounding mean. That was not my intent. Obviously it takes a very intelligent person to make it through nursing school. No more attitude lectures. ...

I am aware of these things. I was in no way calling all new grads morons. I was just saying that there were some in the bunch. Actually I wasn't even saying it, I was just asking about it. Anyhow, I guess I will have to be more careful about how ...

Haha thanks a bunch. I was thinking about becoming a CNA before I even started with my prereqs and nursing but an advisor told me that if I really wanted to become a nurse then I should just get a move on it. I will definitely try to volunteer or g...

Well it looks like you did take the time to leave an answer.

Look, I am just a very realistic person. I have been dying to become a nurse for God knows how long. When I come across people that are looking to get into nursing but are doing it for all of the wrong reasons I just want to give them a reality che...

Fair enough. You're right. I knew my wording was going to turn this thread into a heated discussion after I posted it. But thank you for actually responding to my question. I am honestly a very nice person. I get along with everyone and I do fee...

I have to search for new grad success stories whereas the unfortunate stories tend to be on the front page. There is nothing wrong with questioning the job market even though I am still taking prereqs. I wouldn't want all of my A's to go to waste 2...

I don't think I'd go into a job interview talking about all of the morons in the world. Let's be real... I'm not a moron! haha

Thank you for your reply. I obviously didn't want answers from the people I was demeaning. I wanted answers from intelligent nurses.

Well it's the honest truth. People don't need to get their panties in a bunch about it!

Would you say that the majority of new grads stay unemployed for a while? What was your experience with your graduating class? Did most people eventually find work like you did? Were you and your classmates active about finding a job before graduatio...

I'm not calling everyone here morons. I'm just wondering if the majority of people here venting about being unemployed are maybe not as motivated or smart or whatever you want to call it as those who do easily find employment. Do most new grads fin...

Transferlh, I am in a similar situation as you. I am graduating in a few weeks with a degree in English. I have applied to Barry but still have some prerequisites to do. I have already completed some of them b/c I was on a nursing track my freshm...

I am NOT a math person. I'm taking stats right now and got 34 out of 35 on the first exam. It's easy.

Thank you so much for your response! I am trying to narrow down my top 2 choices so that I can fulfill the necessary prereqs. It is so stressful trying to decide which is the best route to go. I'd love to consider a community college for the sake o...

I haven't started applying to nursing schools yet because I am still doing prereqs but I am trying to narrow down my top choices. Are there any nursing schools in Maryland (preferably closer to Baltimore or DC) that have some sort of scholars progra...

Thank you... I'll check it out!

I posted a question yesterday asking about the job market because I have the same concern as you. I'm scared I won't find a job after all of my hard work in nursing school. Someone suggested that I call all of the hospitals in the area I plan on wo...

Thank you for you response! Yea, Miami Dade is a community college. The cost of the program is so affordable and I think that's part of the reason for its popularity. I heard from an insider that the nursing class isn't even all that great this yea...

Hi. Anyone in the Miami/ Ft Lauderdale area know which nursing programs are the least competitive aka easier to get into? I'm thinking that public schooling is out of the question because there are so many applicants. Say I wanted to apply to both...
