Hi everyone. I just graduated from my ADN program in June, and I've only managed to land one interview--for a really competitive oncology residency program--and I won't find out if I've been selected for at least another week. Meanwhile, I'm actively...

I just got a call yesterday about the oncology residency I interviewed for last week, and they offered me the position!! I couldn't believe it! I'm the luckiest new grad ever.

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I'm brave enough to go introduce myself in person, but I did manage to find the email address for one of the nurse managers at a hospital I've applied to. I sent her a note explaining my interest in working on her...

Thank you both for the responses and for validating my intuition. It's really helpful. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that I'll miraculously make it through the HR screening process!

For those of you currently in the program: how much time do you spend on schoolwork outside of class? Is it horribly stressful to work full-time while in the program? I just graduated from my ADN program in June and I'm hoping to work while I complet...

I will be graduating from nursing school in June, so I've been slowly putting together my resume. I'm wondering if it's appropriate to include care for sick family members... Over the last few months I have been caring for my FIL through his throat c...

Thank you for the quick response! Where would I put it on my resume? And how would I title it?

Thank you for the advice! This really helps.

Hi! I am in the process of applying to RN to BSN programs and I am really worried about writing the personal statement because I fear that what I have to say isn't unique enough. Here's the prompt: describe your professional plans and goals. What ins...

Thanks. I feel totally overwhelmed too! Where is the "skills checklist"? The module says it is on Canvas but I can't find it!

Are we supposed to wear our uniforms tomorrow?

Ok, thank you! Wow, I am so nervous.

Is our first day Sept. 23rd or the 24th? According to the calendar, it look like we start on the 24th, but I want to be 100% sure. Anyone know?

Congrats to those of you who got your letters!!! Mine came today too; I'm in for fall! Couldn't be more relieved and excited!

Oh, wow! Congratulations Danielle!!!!! I can't wait to check the mail tomorrow!

I'm totally with you guys. I've been so anxious about this letter! Every day after I check the mail and it's not there I feel so defeated, like it's never going to come! And then I start worrying that something was wrong with my application or they l...

Nope, I didn't apply anywhere else! I really want to go to Bellevue. I'm getting pretty worried now that they cut 18 places from the program though!! It probably would have been smart to have a backup plan. Congrats on getting into central!!!

I'm pretty sure that they send an actual paper letter through the mail. By the way, I called last week to find out when they would send the letters out and apparently we should have them by the end of this month or the beginning of May. The suspense ...

Anyone know how many people applied this year?

Swalken, is that really true? That is just terrible! BC should really have made an announcement about that. Chie did email me to tell me that my TB test results needed to have the mm induration on them, so I had to go back to my doctor and get new ...

Do all of you have your applications and documents submitted? I just finished getting all of mine together and I plan on bringing them in on Tuesday. I can't stop worrying that I made a mistake on my application or that my immunization records are no...

Thanks, ccchristine5! The questions on the test are very similar to the practice tests and ATI study manual. The reading section is pretty straightforward; it gives you a short passage or paragraph and you answer questions about it. The math section ...

I took the TEAS yesterday and got a 93.3%! I bought the ATI study manual and online practice tests over the summer and I think they really helped. Anyone else take it yet?

I will be applying this year too! I bought the ATI study manual and the online practice tests. I took one of the online tests today and scored pretty well on everything but the science section. There was a lot of chemistry on it, and I haven't taken ...
