  1. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    flyersfan88 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They will likely tell you what everyone else here already has--focus on one step at a time, and take the extra steps to beef up your resume. 6 months of new grad experience does nothing to set you...

  2. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    flyersfan88 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    While you may "know people" who got in to CRNA school on their first or second try with minimal experience, did they all fail out of nursing school on their first try too? Should everything go exactly...

  3. New Nurse, what did I get myself into...

    flyersfan88 replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I find it absolutely insane that you were never shown equipment or ANYTHING for that matter before you were thrownn on to the floor. I'm feeling spoiled with my residency program. Good luck and keep...

    flyersfan88 replied to ColorfulStethoscope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In addition to what everyone else has said, your preceptor is not the only person you're allowed to ask for help. If you're sitting down to chart and have a question about the emr, I'm sure another...

  5. **POLL** New 1st Year RN Salary

    flyersfan88 replied to Bell13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ....anyone else feeling incredibly sad and broke after seeing their check after taxes? LOL part of me wonders why I didn't just stay waiting

  6. Pending NJ License

    flyersfan88 replied to cxe008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NJ is notoriously unproductive and horrible. A drive to the BON may serve you well, however nothing is guaranteed. And you can apply without a number, but I can't think of anywhere I know of in my...

  7. Opinion on job opening/interview.

    flyersfan88 replied to Java_Wench's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At the hospital I got hired at....they told me I'd hear in 48 hours. 2 weeks and several unanswered emails later, they finally offered me a job. Follow up, but be

  8. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    flyersfan88 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I think that brings us back to the point where they shouldnt be doing that in a hospital in the first place for this

  9. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    flyersfan88 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Um.... yes. I think there is always the option to not have sex. People think they need a lot of things. Needing to have sex in a hospital room where people are coming in to take care of you is not...

  10. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    flyersfan88 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I have to put a halt on doing my job because you just HAVE to have sex in a hospital right now at this very moment in time? You're there to be treated, not to get off on voyeuristic fetishes....

  11. My Very Special Snowflake

    flyersfan88 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My VSS is about a new grad who just took the NCLEX. They stressed about it for MONTHS and used Kaplan AND Saunders AND ATI AND Lippincott and it is their DREEAAAAAAMMMMMMM to be a nurse. But lo and...

  12. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    flyersfan88 replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The extreme sense of entitlement and the amount of analyzing each and every tiny little microscopic detail is literally making me sick. However, I do envy your life, as your parents must have given...

  13. Need advice about first RN job, TN, PA

    flyersfan88 replied to lilliebelle316's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So what you're saying is that it's just like any other city. The market is brutal here. Abington Health system is supposedly doing a lot of layoffs, Jefferson hasnt been hiring nurses in god knows...

  14. Would it hurt me if I get a retail or minimum wage job while looking for an RN job?

    flyersfan88 replied to StayingHopefulRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Absolutely NOT. This could not be more wrong. Why would you ever think that as a new grad that no experience in ANYTHING is marketable? The unit manager at the hospital I just got hired at was so...

  15. Would it hurt me if I get a retail or minimum wage job while looking for an RN job?

    flyersfan88 replied to StayingHopefulRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I live in the area as well, and worked as a server through school, and will up until next week, since I'll be starting my first RN job in september. Employers eat up my restaurant experience. Working...

  16. When to start applying to New Grad Programs

    flyersfan88 replied to manatee17's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Depends where you live. Generally, in my area, hospitals will toss your app unless you have a license number on it. I'd see what the general consensus is on that in your

    It's awful. Be persistent.... but don't expect things to be easier here, especially immediately outside NYC and

    flyersfan88 replied to kieran07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Absolutely. I mean, pretty much the only reason I got this job was because back in May a friend of a family member forwarded my resume to someone. Even then, it wasn't until the end of July where...

  19. Follow up? Let it go?

    flyersfan88 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So this situation I'm in went from positive to strange really quick. I'm thinking at this point to chalk it up to a loss and let it go, but I figured I'd get some input first. And sorry, this is a...

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm excited to say that they did indeed call me and offer me a position this afternoon! Guess I just needed a little exercise in patience!

  25. Nursing License Application Timelines

    flyersfan88 replied to winniegirl92's topic in General Nursing

    If anyone has any additional info on PA, I'd really appreciate it. I applied for endorsement about 2 weeks ago for both temporary and permanent licensure, and nothing has updated on either checklist....
