I recently applied to this program and have an interview there this coming week at the children's hospital. Has anyone gone through this program or currently work there? I'm just interested on some insight into the facility and/or program from person...

lmdr1088, it really is nuts how fast apartments fill up here! I couldn't believe it. I had been told they had 2 openings in April at one complex at the beginning of the week, and by Wednesday that week they were filled! It was nuts how it worked out ...

Congratulations! That's so exciting, and I'm glad that I have a connection with someone that will be just starting out there too! I will gladly give you some advice! I am originally from Illinois (about 70 miles west of Chicago), so I had to make th...

Oh my goodness! I didn't even get a notification about your response to this! That's awesome that you got an offer! I was offered a position in their NICU and I start next Monday, April 6th! What unit did you get an offer for?

Hello! I didn't see one of these for the coming year. I figured I would start one to get a conversation going about it! I applied for the UW Madison Nurse Residency Program for the January 2015 start. I'll be a December 2014 graduate with a BSN. Is a...

That's super exciting! I was actually supposed to start Monday as well, but getting Illinois to transfer my license has been a bit of a process to say the least. I always get so excited to hear about others being able to start in the specialty they w...

I'm really excited to be starting soon! Dream come true! I'm going to be in Iowa at University of Iowa Children's Hospital. Kind of a ways from home, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. :) That's an awesome idea, and I would love to participate! ...

I am a new grad nurse (December 2014), and I will be starting in a level IV NICU the first week of April. I took NRP and STABLE the summer before my last semester. I also became a student member of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses and the ...

She just emailed my classmates back. She can't push anymore through just to push them through. Do the certification verification form. I will send you both the letter you need to send.

UPDATE! The quickest way is to do the process how I did it. Private message me if you need assistance! She is seriously a ray of sunshine in the behemoth called IDFPR.

Well, I am an atypical case, but my license was posted today. I will tell you what happened. I had started paperwork with Wisconsin for endorsement because I had a job prospect in Milwaukee. I was then offered the job in Iowa so I needed to start th...

I have my bank alerting me to when they cash my check. Hopefully it will be today. Keep us posted!

Still nothing today for me. I plan to call tomorrow and see where it's at. Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised tomorrow and see it on the BON website. I have my fingers crossed for the 3 of us!

The only thing I could think of to explain it could be that the "traffic" of new license test takers was lower in the last week of January than the first week of February. Honestly.... I'm just grasping at straws. The girl that took her test the day ...

KLayco, I am on the exact same time frame as you. I took it on the 5th, and received my letter on the 9th. I sent it in that day. I have called numerous times to see where they are in the process since classmates of mine took it the week before me ha...

The Pearson Vue trick worked for me as well. I just took the NCLEX-RN yesterday, 2/5, and it turned off at 75 questions. I've been a ball of nerves! I tried the trick with an old gift card and it gave me the good pop-up. I then checked with Continent...

Has anyone heard from anyone that applied for the NICU position? I haven't heard one way or the other yet. I applied for the Resource Team as well, but they didn't select me for an interview for that one. I received that email earlier this week.

I'm still waiting to hear back. :/ What position are you interviewing for?

I don't necessarily have pointers for writing the letter. I would say to just be honest about what your short- and long-term goals are in the nursing profession. A few girls that are in the semester behind me (graduating this upcoming May) applied v...

I know! I hope so, too, for both of us. I just want to know. I hope you get it also! Good luck!

NICU. I do know that the person in my class that interviewed for OR was offered a job.

IIovcanada, what unit did you interview with?

I'm so excited for you guys! Congratulations! I still haven't heard one way or the other. :/ We'll see.

One of the five in my class, the one with the interview in ER, said she heard back already. Offered the job. The rest of us four have still not heard one way or the other. Hopefully in the beginning of the week we will all hear something! She said Su...

They mentioned in our informational session that they had applicants from 15 states apply/getting interviewed so it does not seem like there is a preference as far as in-state/out-of-state. There were a lot of Wisconsin students there that I met, but...
