First off, I'm graduating in May with a BS in nursing. And I'm planning to apply to both Columbia and Cornell. Although I have a lot of good things about Cornell from this website, I haven't seen many posts about Columbia. I actually called both o...

Im a fairly new GN in my second month of fellowship. I have two great preceptors and all the unit nurses (well, almost all of them:lol2:) are great and are welling to offer help. Two month into the program, I'm not as reliant on my preceptors as mu...

You have my greatest blessings sistersweet. Go out there tomorrow and take the NCLEX by the horn.

Just want to share my good news to everyone at AN and to those who will take it soon/waiting for their results, good luck to all of u. Anyway I took my NCLEX on Wednesday (7/18) and found out this morning that I passed. It's the greatest feeling in...

I graduated from nursing school in may 2007 and just started on a new job (well, technically i'm in a 3 month fellowship program). Between nursing school and my first degree I have accumlated ~$70,000 in loans from nelnet and sallie mae. Now, i'm t...

grnmtngirl, I took my on wednesday and just found out that I passed this moring...so I 'll just tell u what i had on my exam. I had 75 Qs with lots of priority and teaching/education Qs. I had only one "check all the above" question which I'm prett...

You're not my mommy are you? 'Cause my name is Jayden too...lol I was in the same boat as u (just found out I passed this morning). I also had 75 Qs and I walked out of there nauseated and with a HUGE H/A. I had a lot of priority Qs and lots of tea...

I know 2 ppl who got all 265 Qs and passed. Hang in there and best of luck to you.

Tried to search the answer to this question on allnurses but didnt really get the definitive answer I wanted to hear/see. I think I already know the answer to it but just want to hear some expert knowledge to reassure myself. 1) As a nurse, are we ...

Ella, I'm glad that you like Marymount...but what made you transfer from NOVA to Marymount?? Marymount is super expensive and quite frankly the nursing program doesnt even worth half of the tuition they charge. Having said that, the quality of the...

Thank you all for your insightful replies. This just made my decision a little bit easier;)

Thanks CT Pixie. Although Im just a new grad or rather will be one come May, if you need any information about YNHH, you are welcome to PM me. And I will update about my interview.

Still very excited right now. Let be start from the beginning...I decided to apply to YNHH based on the rave praises I heard about YHNN on allnurses. And the waiting began. Let me tell ya, I must have checked my e-mail 3x/day hoping they would giv...

You pay $60k for a semester of nursing??? Holy crap and I though my school was expensive at $10k a semester. Have you tried applying for private loans such as Salle Mae?? If you need more information, give the financial office at your school a try...

Hi all, I'm a male nursing student set to graduate on May 07 and am currently planning to start applying for jobs. I have done some research on this website on the topic of interview clothing. I would like to wear a nice suit to an interview b...

From the information I have gotten from other posters on this website, their wage is pretty competitive. If I'm not mistaken their starting wage for GN is ~$28. Not bad if you ask me. But as far as the work environment I wouldn't be able to help y...

thanks for the advice whitecap1. I think I will stick with just the dress shirt and dress pants. I can't imagine hospitals would turn me down just b/c I'm wearing a suit.

Cant anyone give me some advice??

I'm set to graduate in May 07 and YNNH is one of the hospitals I'm considering working for since I heard a lot of props about their ICU fellowship for GNs. As for salary, I'm not sure about the ER but ICU GN gets around $23-$24.

Hi all, Like most of you in this section, CRNA is my dream job. The truth of the matter is, it's one the main reasons I want to become a nurse. But unlike many of you, I don't have a stellar GPA that can wow the crowd. Yet, I still have...

Thanks Quiet1. I will take your advice into consideration.

I'm very surprised. Could you share more about why they did not accept you. Did it have more to do with the "politics" rather than your qualifications??

Thanks Xeno. Good to hear that since I'll need every cent to pay off my huge debt I accumlated for nursing school. BTW, does anyone know if it is hard for new grads to find, say, ICU positions in CT?? I know places like Boston and Las Vegas are not...

This is one of the best nursing sites on the web and over the past year I have learned quite a lot from everyone. And I'm so excited that I'll be graduating next May with a BSN degree. Naturally I have started to ponder where exactly where I want t...

This is a question is not related to a patient but to myself. So, last month I went to my local health department for an x-ray to update TB for my school (my previous PPD was already positive). The results came up negative. I then went ahead and se...
