h hello everyone! i am a brand new rn (passed the nclex 2 weeks ago), and i am thinking about subscribing to a nursing journal or two. i would like to hear your opinions/reviews of the different journals out there (ajn, nursing 2011, nursing made in...

hey everyone, i am a new rn and i just passed my nclex 2 weeks ago...my name recently showed up on the nys office of the professions site (op.nysed.gov), but it is not yet appearing on the nursys.com website. i am wondering if this is normal, and if ...

Hi everyone, I moved 300 miles away from home for a really great hospital job as a new RN grad (ADN). I had been job searching for over 6 months, and this job was the only callback/interview I got, so when I was offered the job, I took it! I am from...

Hey I know how you are feeling, I had to move to upstate NY for a job..BUT i did go to a job fair in White Plains, and i was told that VNSNY is having a new grad program...applications start in february, also I know stamford hospital in CT has a new ...

Here is my "brain" FYI- LDA is "lines/drains/airways" any foleys, IVs, JPs, vac dsg. etc.. Tele times are times that i need to print and scan a tele stip https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvvvFoD7v6skdGs2QjBVTU1qMEtfM2d6ZnZ2TlhILVE&hl=...

Hey I just moved to Rochester for a new grad rn position, make 22.50/hr.. it goes up to 26/hr after your first year.

hey guys! i finally got a job! it's in rochester which is about 5 hours away from where i live now... i was wondering if anyone out there knows of any nice neighborhoods where i could possibly find an apartment. any input will be greatly appreciated ...

you asked what to do: don't give it a second thought. do a great job like you have been doing, this professor is miserable and likes to make herself feel important by telling her students that they are not good at nursing after seeing them in clinica...

ITA with this! If you don't have it already go and get it...use the cd in the book for the nclex the questions are very similar. You can usually find cheaper, lightly used ones on amazon.com or half.com

if you still have your a&p textbooks...go back and look through those. understanding the gas exchange process for respiratory and the pumping action of the heart are essential. and definitely know all the parts of the heart (chambers, valves, ves...

every area is different, but there are areas that are not experiencing a nursing shortage. there are 8 nursing schools in the small county i live in that are pumping out new grads every year...so there are more than enough people graduating to fill t...

P.S. I have no prior healthcare experience.

Rochester baby! I'm a new ADN grad and just got hired there. It's a big move...but getting my first nursing job is worth it (especially during these times). Best of luck

Happy ER Nurses week !! What I am confused about though is... my friend told me she got gifts at work this week because it is Pediatric Nurses week! LOL anyways....Thank you guys for doing what you do!

it's really tough for new grads out there...especially adns =/. i am an adn new grad...i got a great job, but i am moving 5 hours away for it. if you really want to do nursing then go for it. i suggest you get a cna or tech. job part time just to get...

dear aheartsaverrn, i am so sorry that you are having such a terrible experience and were made to feel this way. as new rns we have to brace ourselves for the criticism that inevitably lies ahead...but while there are people out there that want to br...

thank you so so so much for the info :redbeathe! the only time i have ever been to rochester was for my interview at rgh, and i was a little worried because the hospital did not seem to be in the greatest area (the hospital however, is beautiful!). i...

it is really tough out there for us newbies. i agree with the above post that there are not a lot of great new grad orientation programs out there, which is disheartening. i finally landed a job but am going to have to move for it because in many are...

i know this is an older post but i am wondering the same thing. i am a new grad and will begin on a vascular surgery stepdown in november. if anyone has any information to share about this type of unit, it will be greatly appreciated! :redbeathe

i have to agree with everyone here and say..there is no nursing shortage. it is extremely hard for new grads to get jobs (i know b/c i am one!). i remember my first semester of nursing school and being terrified as well. stick it out for one semester...

i agree! an icu opportunity for a new grad is great! you can do whatever you want after that!

It is an unfortunate situation. Luckily for me though, I have finally landed a job in a hospital. It's 5 hours north of where I live...but hey I'm willing to relocate if it means starting my career. I read the posts on here about new grads that have ...

I'm a CC ADN new grad and it's almost impossible for us to get jobs. Everywhere I see "BSN required/preferred", especially for the new nurse residency programs. I have actually head nurses say that we (ADNs) have more experience with clinical skills....

i'm going to rochester general. i was looking in the brighton area as well... thanks for your help!!

the op.nysed.gov site is new york's "office of the professions" site... you can use it to confirm that someone has a license. i think employers use the nursys.com one... it's so confusing! anyways my name just showed up on the nursys.com website this...
