Yes, I did it’s LTC for me ? Definitely the better choice for me as a newbie I need other nurses to run to if I need it until my skills are perfected and my confidence is solid. I would have considered the Private Duty position if they had offered a better new grad orientation like suggested like 3+ months

This position was for a trach & vent patient. The agency offered no new grad program, just one day orientation and 6 hour training with an experienced nurse at the patients’ home. Something I should have never considered in the first place. Thanks so much for the advice

Yes! I actually start my BSN program this fall. I declined the Private Duty job offer due to my lack of experience and have accepted the LTC position. So far so good, I truly feel that it is the best choice for my career. Thank you for the advice

Thanks so much for the advice I am forever grateful for this community! I am on day 3 of orientation at the LTC and it was definitely the better fit for me as a new grad ?

Hi Nursing community! I am a new grad RN, searching for my first job. I have received two solid offers one in LTC and the other Private Duty. I have worked LTC as a CNA while finishing prerequisites for nursing school so I am familiar with the environment, but I’ve been out of the field nearly 5 years, therefore, I’m extremely anxious about the patient load, veteran nurses, gossip, etc. I was shocked to get an offer from the Private Duty Agency especially without any experience and I’m intrigued by having just 1 patient for 12 hours. My ultimate goal is in the Geriatric field as well as Hospice or Palliative care. My question is what job should I accept???‍♀️ Have any of you gone straight into Private Duty and loved/hated it? Should I gain more experience first?? Is this agency setting me up for failure????

Have you all received acceptance contracts yet? I haven't received mine yet, but emailed the selective admission's admin. I am about to log into facebook and find you all on there

Lansing mail takes the longest

I did not get a letter in the mail....I really wanted to confirm my acceptance on paper, but Im still celebrating!!!! Congratulations all I will see you at orientation wootwoot or chat with you on facebook once thats started

I start this fall and had 128 points so you all must have gotten in!!!!!!! Woohoo Im shaking. My mail man hasnt come, but I checked my email as soon as I got out of bed

I got accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am crying tears of Joy!!!!!! I cant wait to meet my nursing family....my house is sleep you are the first Ive told I cant believe it

Yes I will be checking my email after midnight....Ive been doing so out of habit....and will stalk my mailman who shows up anytime between 930 and 1130am 👀.....I want my letter hand delivered 😯 I am super nervous....this wait has been torture for us all.. I hope we all receive great news as well.....it would be great to put a face with your usernames, but if I dont meet you this year I will see you next year. Best of luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No emails have been sent to me either, from the initial email that was sent a couple months back it looks like June 1st is the expected day to hear anything.. . next Wednesday will be the day I pass out....hopefully from pure shock of reading congratulations...

I haven't heard anything yet...no mail... I am growing impatient too wasting my life on Facebook to pass time:wacky: that's me going nuts.....June 1st cannot come fast enough I just want to know already....I am expecting the worst hoping for the best it's just stressing me out. I saw that math 112 won't cut it next year either..... and I just took it not even a year ago....I hope we get good news. I hope I get to meet you all soon
