RNjan2012

I just found out today I am accepted in the Maryville NP program. :)

Hi everyone, I have applied to Maryville for the Adult NP program and I am still gathering the paperwork for the application packet. I hope to start with the April 2013 class. I would like to stay in touch with you especially once I find out if I get accepted.

I am a brand new nurse in Dallas and that amount is my base pay (I work night shift so actually my pay is $3.50 higher making my hourly salary about $28). My friend is in ICU and she accepted $35 to start in the Dallas area. She has about 5 yrs ICU experience.

Did anyone in the RN to BSN academic partnership take an upper division nursing elective that was NOT NURS 4300? I took NURS 3309 (medical terminology as my general elective). I see NURS 4300 has a prerequisite of NURS 3300, but I don't want to take another class just to take NURS 4300. Do you know if we are allowed to take another 4000 level class besides NURS 4300?

Thanks for the replies. I am thinking to try out the first position since I need to start working very soon.

I am a new RN. I passed NCLEX Jan 31st. I interviewed with a hospital Feb 15th. I was also called from another hospital and scheduled an interview on Feb 23rd. On Feb 22nd. The first hospital offered me a postion. I accepted immediately since the job market is very competitive for new grads and I did not get hired back in Oct 2011 when GN internships were posted. But, I also went to my other interview the next day and they hired me on the spot. Now I do not know which position to choose. The first offer starts March, but the second offer does not start until June. Salary is about the same to start and same distance from my home, but the 1st offer is 8 hour shifts, day shift (without shift diff) and I would have to travel 5 days a week. The 2nd offer is 12 hour shifts, night shift ($4 extra/hr) and I would only travel 3 days a week. Even though the second offer seems more appealing to me, I thought about starting with the first offer because I really can't financially wait until June. Yet, I'm not sure it would be right to work there only 3 mos. What would you do?
