    Hi all! I've started this thread for those of us who have gotten the good news and have been accepted to start the nursing program at Truman College in Fall 2012! If you are still waiting to hear, I...

  2. No luck finding a job; just want some advice

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for your input! I don't think I'm using the job as a vehicle to get to baby. I look at it more like they are parallel dreams and getting them on the same track is proving difficult. My...

  3. No luck finding a job; just want some advice

    Katja508 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi guys! Background: I just graduated nursing school with my ADN on Friday (5/9/14) and plan on taking the NCLEX as soon as possible. So, I just got the email 3 days ago telling me that I didn't get...

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know you guys are right. Waiting until I'd qualify for FMLA was the original plan. But I also thought I'd have a job I could start in June so I could start ttc this year. It's just so hard!...

    Oh! I didn't notice either! Haha! Good to know we have some time but I don't know how much longer I can hang in there! I'm so anxious! MswalkerRN: Do you know if all the people that were 'being...

    Katja508 replied to amichelle1126's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man! She did say there were only a couple of recruiters so that it might take awhile. I'm not sure if we'll get a call that sets up a phone interview or just the phone interview our of the blue!...

    Hear anything, amichelle? I called (I couldn't wait!) and they told me I was still being considered but that's really

    That's great news for you! Good to know they haven't made any final decisions yet. Crossing fingers I hear something soon,

    Were you able to reach

  11. SSM Futures

    Katja508 replied to amichelle1126's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I just called the number in one of the emails that (I think) is the main HR number. It will usually patch you through to leave a message. I left a message with my name and said I was wondering...

    Katja508 replied to amichelle1126's topic in General Nursing

    Have you contacted them since you submitted the resume? I called about 3 weeks after and was told I was still being considered and that they were still going over applications. That was about 3 weeks...

    Haha! This is so funny! I've been putting the same thing in google for the last 3 months trying to find SOMEONE in the same boat as me! I finally found you! :) I got the same email and going through...

  14. Who is hiring newly licensed RNs in Missouri right now (2014)?

    Katja508 replied to amber_energy_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be following this post with interest since I'll be graduating with my AAS in May and moving to St. Louis right after. I've already submitted a couple dozen applications but, of course, have heard...

  15. Incredibly nervous about finding a job in St. Louis after graduation. Advice?

    Katja508 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi there! I'm a bit of a planner and I've been planning for the upcoming 6 months for about 4 years now. Now that the time is here, I'm freaking out a bit. I'll be graduating my ADN program in May,...

  16. Nervous about the after graduation unknown!

    Katja508 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi there! I posted this in another forum, too, but thought others may be going through the same, here! I'm a bit of a planner and I've been planning for the upcoming 6 months for about 4 years now....

  17. Nervous about the after graduation unknown!

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in General Students

    Nurse2b9742: Oh, I've heard the opposite! Apply early and often! I do feel pretty silly, though, having to fill out forms as not graduated and no license. That's why I feel like I'm being filtered...

  18. Nervous about the after graduation unknown!

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the reply! The move to St. Louis is family-related and was always the longterm plan. We could put it off and likely will if neither of us can find jobs before we'd move. I'm...

  19. Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ah I see! I thought I saw above that you also had D? It's really tricky not to be able to use names! We'll have to think of nicknames for everyone! :) The booklist that I got in my email (not on BB)...

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Sorry, meant reading list! Someone has it posted above. The Med-Surg is Lewis but you only have to look up the study tips part on the site. So for those of you who don't have the book yet:...

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I went home after the first orientation and got just the Craven and Med-Surg books! Now the booklist from D came in and I'm scrambling to get the rest in time without paying bookstore prices! Ahhh!...

  22. Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi everyone! Just got back from orientation! I just wanted to update everyone on what I learned about the Skills Lab. There WILL be skills lab the first week. I spoke with one of the Truman people...

  23. Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in Illinois Nursing

    That's what I'm worried about! I always get my books from Amazon or similar. If we're only given a week to get them, we'll have to pay up! I called the Continuing Education department on Friday but...

  24. Accepted into CCC Nursing Program: Truman College

    Katja508 replied to Katja508's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What is happening?? Was this skills lab even mentioned before this? And are we expected to go every week? I feel like this is kind of getting out of control with them adding and changing things every...
