NedRN gives good advice. When I was looking for housing, I definitely made us of the links on PanTravelers. I also used Airbnb and Homeaway.com to find safe, affordable, short-term housing.

Recently had to take Prophecy test for travel assignment. No big deal, just pressure to score a passing grade. Very similar to the tests taken in school and definitely easier than the state board exam. Each test is targeted to a specific area of expe...

Thank you for the prompt. I signed with another agency and before I completed the on-line application the recruiter called me. He was everything I believed an agent should be, answered all of my questions, gave suggestions and provided information. I...

I too am struggling to get started in travel nursing. After what I thought was thorough research, I contacted NursesRx. The recruiter only calls me about once a week, getting information out of her is like pulling hen's teeth! I agree with NedRN and ...

I will be accepting a position at the VA on S Columbian Way in Seattle, WA and am looking for safe housing within a reasonable commute. I am single, over 50, and am most concerned about safe neighborhoods. I'm looking at apartments right now up to $1...

One or two bedroom (depends on the price), no pets. As for space, well I can live small if need be, 675 and up would be good. Thank you for your advice, I appreciate it!

Thank you for the info. Can you provide any leads on safe, affordable housing in Snoqualmie? Any suggestions on housing in around Seattle within reasonable driving distance to the VA would be appreciated.

Wow! Hearing about your program makes the one I'm in sound stellar! There is definitely a shortage of qualified instructors, no doubt about that. Our first semester was definitely overkill at my college. Classes were Lectures were Tues & Thurs; c...

Good advice! The school counselors are advising the exact same. Networking is the key!

If your program is anything like the one I am in, they do NOT want you to buy ANYTHING until after orientation. Among all of the paperwork we received at orientation was a list of supplies & where you had to purchase them. Uniforms, stethoscopes,...

If you are currently in RN school or are soon to graduate, you could try applying for an internship program. I know they are competitive but with your good grades and an enthusiastic attitude, you may land one. Just Google nursing internships in New ...

Thank you Horseshoe, I appreciate your kind words. I was a bit blown away by this counselor's attitude. Just because past students had not been able to achieve did not mean that I couldn't! I too have worked very, very hard to maintain the good grade...

]I believe you are absolutely right in all that you have stated and I am only a student nurse! I will be graduating from an LVN program in August & will be applying to the RN bridge program the following summer. I am a distinguished honors studen...

Hey MonkeyMama, I too need the A&P courses and micro before I can apply to the RN program. I talked with an RN counselor at my college before I registered for fall classes, she advised me to take the A&P and the micro in the same semester. I ...

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that one. Not in, or from Abilene. Was hoping YOU could provide some hiring tips to me since you were forthcoming with the info about Austin. I do know the USAjobs.gov website:) has nurse openings in those far out sou...

RN4LOVE how did your internship turn out? Your post is about a year old so I thought I would just check in with you to see how it went. Tell us about it! I'm very interested in applying for an internship once I'm qualified. Congratulations!:)

Oh my gosh! Lovelymo79 you have landed one of my choice internship dreams! Please share w/me how you managed to land that position? Did you have some outstanding credentials as a new grad? I would appreciate any advise that could put me on the right ...

Thank you for that info. At least they are willing to HIRE new grads! I realize the market is being flooded w/new graduates. Do you have any idea what HR looks for on a new grads resume to make ME stand out? I am really hoping to accepted to an inter...

Hey onaclearday! I happen to agree with you. I will be graduating a 1 yr. LVN program in August and although I have signed up for Fall courses to complete my prereqs for the ADN bridging program, I am truly concerned as to whether it will be worth it...

Where are you going to school?

Did you ever find out the info you needed? Nursing application requirements have changed as of 2010. Always a lot of competition. Need to be able to score as close to 100 on Hesi entrance exam as possible (reading & math) only part looked at. GPA...

Hey ijuanabhappy, I was reading thru some of the Texas posts & was wondering how your internship application turned out & if you are working now? I also noticed that you are an 'older' applicant & was wondering if you think your age has ...
