Hey! I'm in the GN program with an ASN. However, I do have a BS in a health related field. I also know another with an ASN with no other degree that is in the program. There is hope! :)

I also received my ASN in Miami. I haven't done BSN yet but I just relocated for my first position because I didnt wanna be in Miami anymore lol. To get a job in Miami you need to network, be on top of the recruiters, go to open houses (Mt Sinai has ...

I haven't heard of UM hiring a lot of new grads lately and when I did clinicals there last year they said they usually prefer to hire new grads from UM school of nursing. On the other hand, Mount Sinai will hire new grads onto the OR and other floors...
I spent $0 after I was done with school. Our school gave us Kaplan and also provided an ATI content review. I only did Kaplan's question trainer and I loved the content review with ATI (Kaplan's was soooo boring) and didnt think ATI's questions were ...
At the end of the day if something happens to that patient, the RN is still accountable. RNs delegate but they are responsible for the work they delegate because they are overseeing care for that patient. At least that's how I see it.
I am the same way! My body constantly fights with me to stay awake at night, so night shift is perfect for me. I'm not an introvert per se but I am very focused on my work so night shift also helps me stay focused on my patient without the extra dist...
IDK much about the topic but you should look into Nurse Licensure Compact in the NCSBN website about the multistate license. I'm not quite sure how it works but it sounds like something that could be beneficial to you
I already relocated from Miami to Orlando! I already like it a lot more, less traffic, less rent money, and I live 25 mins from Disney World . Other options would be Denver, CO or Boston
That is how it was at my last job (not as an RN but at a hospital), so what I did was that I requested to work the night before the holiday and the night of, I don't know if that is an option for you.
If you miss a patient and someone else gets it go with them and see where they get it from and what technique they used. I was a phlebotomist for 3 years and when I had little experience this helped me gain little pointers and I was able to use the o...
That is how FL pay for nurses is across the board. The offer I got from FH is comparable to hospitals down in Miami (where I live) although cost of living is more expensive where I am.
For now try looking in other settings if your situation is tight (ie clinics, LTCs, etc.) until you can get what you really want. I know how tough it is because I spent months and countless applications looking for a job and finally got this one and ...
I've seen many clinic type jobs for LPNs on the internet; however, it probably depends on the location as well. I would look on one of the job sites to see what LPN jobs are available in your area. Keep in mind that when you finish your schooling the...
The way it works is that a recruiter interviews you and then they send their applications out to each department according to your preferences. Each department then picks the GNs they want to interview. If I'm not mistaken the posting is still up for...
I know how tough it is (havent been on this side that long) lol. Phone interviews can actually be a blessing (you can put yourself in a place you feel more relaxed and no one can actually see how nervous you are) but keep in mind they also do in pers...
@Deepbreath I honestly believe it has a lot to do with timing. I had applied to other positions outside of the GN program and my rejection email informed of the date when the GN program was going to open. I applied on the first day! Also, it is a len...
