  2. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They must be emailing by specialty because I haven't heard anything for Peds. I'm playing the waiting list game with two other schools currently, and it's my experience that they won't give you a...

  5. How much do new BSN nursing grads make?

    hi616 replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My cousin who graduated with BSN got hired at a magnet hospital in Chicago about two years ago for about $35/hour if I remember right. Not sure about shift

    The other girl in my interview session was in her mid 20's too since were all on the topic of age and I'm only 21 myself. My view on it is that although I don't have much "life experience" I'm very...

  8. First Interview Peds ER

    hi616 replied to nalaa83's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am finishing up my Bachelor's in Psychology right now :) I would think that you have a much better chance since the position is already at the hospital you work at. For one of the nursing programs...

  9. First Interview Peds ER

    hi616 replied to nalaa83's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't have any suggestions because I'm not even in nursing school myself. But I'm anticipating becoming a Peds NP. I was wondering if you would share with me if you have a BSN or what not and what...

    Yeah way more than PNP. I can't remember if I asked, but does anyone know how/if they are adjusting the numbers to account for

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I totally understand. I spent forever deciding on FNP myself. But you're right, focus on the interview for now! Something to consider is that if you plan on pursuing your DNP, you could always do...

    hopefullady, I've heard that it is multiple times VERY difficult to switch later on. They do have students do it. Most of the students that try to switch aren't approved though. You have to have a...

    Interesting, that's really good to know!

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Torzorz, PNP told me the same thing. But because the coordinators don't make the ultimate decisions she said that she can't give an exact timeframe. Website says early May. Hopefully only a few more...

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, I like how it was so relaxed and conversational. It makes sense for it to be like that because it proves we have good conversational/communication skills which are vital for our careers. What is...

    torzorz, Did you have your interview today! How was it? Also: http://www.nursecredentialing.org/FindaMagnetHospital.aspx I was really surprised to not see University of Chicago on there. They must...

    Hopefullady- I’ve talked with many people about the BSN thing and this is what I can share from their perspectives. The no-BSN issue is most problematic at the magnet hospital level in large...

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I had an individual interview. I'm sure the decision to eliminate the GEP is partly due to the push for all NP's to have DNP's. Its clearly going to take longer than 2015 for that to happen, but...

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh one more important thing to note. The coordinators send all of their remarks about us back to the Graduate College and THEY make the final decisions; not the coordinators. Class size will be...

    hi616 replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The overview session is very informative. The coordinator was very honest about the program. When it was brought up whether or not students were having difficulty getting jobs without a BSN, she was...
