  1. Washington State RN Temporary Practice Permit

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yes, I think you are right about the temp being so that you can work until your FBI background check clears, since that is the part that seems to take the longest. And yes, the interview is with a...

  2. Colorado New grad with no interviews after searching since Aug 2013

    UCAFblue replied to hwngrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I graduated with my BSN in May 2013, and am just now starting to get interviews with hospitals 6 months after graduation, though they are all outside of Colorado. I've submitted hundreds of...

  3. Too quiet to be a nurse?

    UCAFblue replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    Your instructor was completely rude and insensitive, as everyone else has pointed out. I think it is her, not you, that needs to re-evaluate whether or not she has what it takes to be a nurse. One...

    UCAFblue replied to ADEcstatic's topic in California Nursing

  8. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It *is* very discouraging, KNB3715!! After applying to almost every single state, I still can't get any call backs. Even having a compact state license doesn't seem to be an advantage as all the...

  9. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks for your response NicuGal!! Even if the person had a senior practicum/capstone in NICU, you wouldn't look to see if they had NRP? I know it's not quite normal RN experience, but it is...

    UCAFblue replied to tat_nurse's topic in Texas Nursing

  16. Christus Spohn Corpus Christi

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in Texas Nursing

    I appreciate your reply itzvalerie!! Even if they are reducing benefits and everything, it would still be far better than the no benefits and no pay I get now being unemployed. Also, the experience...

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse1130's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took my NCLEX today and got 75 questions. Your Kaplan scores look great and are overall better than what I had - and as long as the PVT is accurate, I passed. I'm the EXACT same way with SATA...
