Hey everyone, I know this subject has been talked to death in other forums, but nobody seems to be getting to the point, and I have too much med-surg homework to read to be messing around for hours on these forums! My tattoos were awesome when I was ...

Looking for some experienced travel nurses to weigh in with opinions. I'm considering leaving my full-time position with the hospital I currently work at. Pay (or lack thereof) is a big issue, as well as a lack of trust in upper management. I'm 30 ye...

I'm in my seconds semester of my ASN program (graduate December, 2013) and I'm very interested in working in the OR after I graduate. I've seen the Community Hospital offers a training program for RNs with no OR experience, and the job posting says t...

Apply through the major hospital's websites; sell yourself to the recruiters and the nurse managers... Preach teamwork, communication, and customer service; that's what they're looking for. You don't need to know anybody; my wife is an RN, so is her ...

I like to come back to these threads and give updates; maybe it'll help someone else searching for information. I graduated in December, took NCLEX two weeks ago (and passed), and yesterday I interviewed at IU Health (Methodist) for an OR Internship....

Alright guys, help me out.... I've been trolling these forums for so long, and it dawned on me: I know everything there is to know about how to get accepted to nursing school.... And that's about it! So I got my acceptance letter in the mail over the...

Took the NCLEX on Wed. (I got ALL 265 questions) and I PASSED! I still can't believe it's over... Seems so surreal.

UPDATE: I figured if come back here and post an update. I just took my last final exam on Friday and am proud to say, I AM DONE! I PASSED NURSING SCHOOL! I MADE IT! It was rough, it was long, but it was worth it. I'm a rough dude (deadlift 500 lbs, ...

Hey NC nurses! I'm starting my last semester of my ASN program in Indiana. My wife is an ICU RN and I want to start an OR training program after I graduate in December. We just visited Charlotte for the first time this weekend to visit my mom, and we...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that IU Health was seeking magnet status and wasn't hiring ASN nurses...

OMG; that's genius! Thanks!

I'm trying to find out some information about how much an R.N. makes working in a physicians office vs. working on a hospital. I'm in my 1st semester now, but I'd like to be well-informed before I enter the workforce, and my wife is an RN working nig...

Thanks everyone (almost) for the help. @mclennan - ill def check out TatJacket; thanks for the recommendation @jt43 - yes my school requires me to cover them. @canadiandude - that's about the stupidest ******* comment to an honest question I've ever ...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm in the thick of it now... got a B on my first Fundamentals exam; next one is coming up fast! I bought a digital voice recroder and started recording the lectures to listen to them again over the weekend (doen't mak...

I just took my first test last Wednesday too; the "check all that apply" questions really got me. 10 out of 50 questions were in that format, and I missed 6 of them. Part of you gets discouraged, thinking "this is supposed to be the easy part of nurs...

Hello everyone, I'm currently a SSG in the Indiana Army National Guard. I received my B.S. in Nutrition Science last October, and JUST resigned my AGR position to attend Nursing School (just revived my acceptance letter a few days ago!). I'm in somew...

Probably not. Anderson is a lot closer to my house than Kokomo, so if I get offered a spot there, I'll probably take it. I'm just happy cause I finally know that, either way, I'm going to nursing school!

Kokomo just sent me my acceptance letter; 162.4/190 (originally sent a rejection letter). So exciting!

Got my letter from Anderson. Looks like I'm an ALTERNATE.... 162.4/190.... Fingers crossed!

So yesterday I e-mailed the Dean of the nursing program in Kokomo and she called me about my score. It turns out that the other student incorrectly calculated his/her score. All she could tell me was that no one got in with that score. My score is 16...

So I've been back and forth on the Ivy Tech message boards, but I figured I would get on allnurses as well, to get as much feedback as possible... Here goes: I got my rejection letter from Kokomo Ivy Tech the other day, and many people were posting t...

My percentages in Reading multiplied by.25, English by .25, Math by .20 and Science by .30. I calculated it by rounding to the 10th place, then adding all four scores, and again by adding all four scores without rounding, then rounding the total numb...

Got my letter from Lawrence for the ASN program today... "We regret to inform you......." Better luck next time, I guess. I had an 87 on my TEAS, but a B in A&P 2 and English (161/190). I took them years ago and didn't think they would even trans...
