I'm a new nurse grad (as of May, 13, 2012)... currently studying to take my board exam. On my breaks, I view blogs... trying to find out if its realistic to apply for Trauma: entry-level. I believe most hospitals are reluctant to higher any new grad...

:unsure:Sorry in advance for commenting on this page, since what I am about to say isn't relevant entirely. This is the only discussion available under my search to learn more about Flight Registered Nursing (FRN). I'd like to speak to CFRN's out the...

If you are taking the time to read my thread, thank you. I am currently a nursing student in a post-bac accelerated BSN/RN program. Its a 16 month eat-breathe-sleep scenario. I have had a lot of time to figure out what I really want out of life. Most...

I had to reply to this thread immediately when it was sent to my phone. I have to say you are all spoiled. I work for two high caliber hospitals in Los Angeles and only make $32 per hour. I work hard hours to bring home what I believe a nurse should ...

Great news to share with regard to Page 1 and my request for info on Trauma. I just landed a Trauma RN job, full time, nights... with a Trauma Level I hospital on the east coast. I have no previous experience working as an RN... only EMT. I'm excited...

My initial attempt to start this discussion was to specifically gain perspective on how RNs of any walks of life have arrived at their desired trauma careers. An attempt to understand the steps that others have taken, to attain a trauma nursing roll....

Here's what I suggest. - Business Analyst for the healthcare sector - Project/Product Manager for the IT medical industry - Medical Sales There are plenty of entry level positions for these job titles (ONLY IF they are related to the medical/health ...

I just read all your threads, which deemed themselves VERY helpful. Thank you! I googled my question and this is what popped up. My question being can non-nurses (recent nurse grads) take ACLS and cert in it. Reason being, most ER tech jobs require t...

Ok... let me help. When you say you are not sure what your options are... first question that pops in my head is... how long have you been looking into accelerated BSN or MSN programs? Most people who choose to head this direction have done ample res...

@adyal2003: Did you get your 48 hr. PASS/FAIL response yet (in order to confirm the trick; which we all know is 200% right)? If you did fail, I can tell you the steps to rescheduling another exam immediately... so you don't sit there sulking like I d...

@ applyingbsn: i just got an alert now regarding your post. i noticed the date is april!!! so, i am not sure if any of what i am about to say will help. it's probably too late. i have graduated and i am currently studying for my board exam. my genera...

Thank you kindly for taking the time to answer my blog. Nobody has ever answered my requests for information on this particular topic... I appreciate the information you provided. I am still studying for the board exam... in the mean time I will loo...

TrisenRN THANK YOU SO MUCH for finally answering the question we all needed answers to... at least those of us who are biting our finger nails and freakin out over failing. I get that these posts are old... but I recently took my NCLEX-RN and failed....

I paid the ~$8 and failed NCLEX-RN (1st attempt). Took my exam 2 days ago with 260 questions and 9 minutes on the clock. Asked me the SAME QUESTIONS over and over again: forgot conversion of oz. to mL. I studied my butt off... 8-12 hours per day sinc...

I know these posts are outdated... but I am wondering if anyone can give me more thorough steps on how to re-apply for NCLEX-RN for the state of MA. Thank you.

Congrats! ...I had the option of testing sooner, but I didn't want to... just feel so nervous about it... :/ Glad it worked itself out. Best wishes.

Jamie - I just graduated too (May 13, 2012)... and I received my ATT on the 22nd of May... had originally put in paperwork around the 16th I believe... my other friends put in paperwork on the 16th too but still haven't received their ATT... so be p...

I admire your perseverance. I was told today that my GPA is too low... I had already done the MEPS, and all the paperwork... what was left was my GPA calculation... Funny thing is that my GPA is a 3.1 (nursing)... but when you count previous transcri...

I am on my last semester... feel free to ask me questions.

There is construction going on at Lincoln... its very loud at times... The recent cafeteria serves food for lunch and din... Very limited selection... Plan to eat out a lot when you live in Lincoln.

El - I am currently going to this school for nursing. And I appreciate your effort in depicting the programs... however, I disagree with most of the comments. This is an extremely difficult school and with the huge influx of recent students, it has b...

I'm revisiting this thread to share: I was wait listed from USF... sadly. I moved for a 16 month BSN/RN program in MA. If you were rejected or wait listed from USF and are still trying to get into a good nursing school, I would be willing to share my...

I'm new to allnurses.com! I've been following the threads for the USF CNL 2011 cohort... Question: What types of loans are you considering, if you are in need of financial support? I've been looking at so many different options via banks... all of wh...
