RN7776

Was this program posted on the website ever? I am shocked it exists I never even saw it.

Not discouraging...encouraging....you arent facing the toughest challenge. You WILL get in somewhere....don't worry about that part.

Take your Zyprexa. Thanks.

Higher education is about patient care...not about dotting Is and crissing Ts Let me reference: Sx (suction), AOx3, c with a line over it....heck if I reference every nurse grammar shortcut I'd be Bill Gates.

Congrats...these stats are affirming my case. Theres 3 million RNs in this country and if 10% are APRNs do the math....thats a tons of APRN nurses. I am not suggesting every RN pursue masters heck half the RNs i know could care less but perhaps BSN f...

Sometimes, getting a BSN, MSN etc will protect your job, keep you relevant etc. Would someone with a BS in Accounting or Finance rest on their laurels? no. Why would a nurse stop at an associates degree. "A degree does not "keep you relevant" YOU kee...

Your rhetoric indicates your indeed in the category of the people that would purport to make be a bazillionaire.

With some sort of fortitude, the "older nurses" would have gone back to school for MSN or beyond and be away from the bedside as a masters prepared nurse or better yet, AT the bedside. Not for nothing but, if I had a dime for every ADN nurse who ref...

I can confirm this after meeting with USAF, Army, Navy recruiters - all of them before graduation. They pretty much don't want new grads and the ones they take don't get nearly the incentives they used to get. For example the Navy used to offer 20-30...

Unemployment is common unfortunately...or thousands of applicants for hundreds of new graduate residency program positions.

Theres a rumor that there are thousands of applicants for a few hundred spots. This program is almost like applying to the California lottery lol.

Ok so, our primary care doctors (MASSIVE SHORTAGE) PAs or nurse practitioners can handle #1 (wait NPs ARE RNS), pharmacologic care? (i suppose you dont know about infusion nurses?)... If you are in denial that home health - the ultimate realm of the ...

In case your unaware, there is a system called Medicaid - pays $50 billion in claims in NY and $20+ billion in California. Sure reimbursements may be cut and cut again, but what sense does it make for lets say, an ER to take no reimbursement? They wi...

No disrespect at all meant here...just a joke. However I digress....theres precious few verticals in the business world where people can work into their 60s and 70s like nursing. Its one of the things that attracts people to the career...that being s...

This is all true...I am a data guy. The data simply doesnt support a sustainable "overabundance" of nurses. Quite the contrary...a RADICAL/awful shortage is looming large. Its not going to be funny. Check out the birth rate last 100 years: http://ww...

In and out of a ABSN and passed NCLEX. The BIG challenge is finding the first job trust me.

I am a recent, employed, male new grad...you catch more bees with honey than infighting really. As far as accepting lower wages for orientation - I don't agree with that at all. People constantly use the terminology that RN schools are "pumping out n...

I am trying to endorse my license from NY to Arizona, and the requirements on the website list either 960 hours or refresher course OR "advanced nursing degree" in last 5 years. However, they neglect to define what an "advanced nursing degree is and ...

How can you people seriously encourage someone to kick unemployment in this economy? If they want to know why you were cut loose just say cutbacks...whats the difference. btw - "That said, because of laws regarding defamation (which is slander or lib...

I am a new graduate nurse. After I passed NCLEX, I applied to roughly 300 jobs....no callbacks. To be honest, rather than waste my time looking for the elusive hospital floor position, I feel rather liberated. I have decided to work two part time job...

I'd worry more about employment picture with an ADN right now. Locking down 1+ yrs in critical care is no cakewalk. They usually won't take ER...they want solid ICU experience infusing vaso-active medications. This isnt something that is easy to get ...

Thanks : ) I hope more people take a good, solid look at home health! Hospital jobs aren't growing. Another area of growth is Hospice....for obvious reasons. People are living longer but there is a big population in the baby boomers that will need lo...

Getting into Critical Care directly out of RN school is VERY tough these days....not impossible, but be ready to be patient that could take months after you graduate. Only way to get an "in" is to CNA or precept on a floor before graduation....even t...
