  1. Seattle Children's/Evergreen/UW residency?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks Jcranmore. Seattle Children's has residencies, I wrote to a recruiter to find out, but I'm not close enough to having my license yet to apply. You have to be ready to work within 4 weeks she...

  2. Think of moving to Florida after graduation, is it as bad as they say???

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Taylo806's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're welcome. I don't know anything about nursing homes. I'm moving far, far away from FL... Good luck to those who want to come here, I hope your experience will be better than

  3. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I wonder if this time of year is an off-time for residencies? I applied to one in North Carolina too, and that thread is dead as

  4. Vidant October New Grad Residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to allisonww90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Nobody else is applying?

  5. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    There's a part where you chose your track, an experience form where you detail volunteer/work/leadership, the letter of intent, a place to upload a transcript/resume, and they want 4 clinical...

  6. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm working on the second part of the application right now, and they only care about work/volunteer/leadership experience in the past 6 months, and they're looking for substantial amounts of time...

  7. Think of moving to Florida after graduation, is it as bad as they say???

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Taylo806's topic in Florida Nursing

    BSN is required by a lot of hospitals in FL now. It's not easy to get a FL job even with a BSN. Look out before you take a job: the hospital I did clinicals at overstaffs, and it seems like a...

  8. USF BSN & ABSN Hopefuls Summer 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to sallyMSW's topic in Florida Nursing

    Medic6758- that GPA is competitive. Last I knew patho was open to non-nursing admitted students, space permitting (which is why you need to get a waiver). Talk to the non-admitted pre-nursing advisor...

  9. Vidant October New Grad Residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to allisonww90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well, if it's just the two of us applying we're sure to be hired. lol. I think I may have messed up the application because I didn't see where to upload the letters of recommendation. I uploaded them...

  10. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm applying too, but I did an accelerated program which means I didn't have time to work or do extracurriculars. I barely had time to eat and sleep. This is my second career, and the first wasn't in...

  11. How did you survive Nursing School?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to soon2bhisnurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I just graduated from an accelerated program in Tampa, FL, and I had a silly little fantasy that I could work while doing it. There's absolutely no way. We had class 2 days a week from 8 am until 3,...

  12. Not a people person... (Yikes!)

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I'm not a people person either, so I gravitated toward OR nursing in nursing school and requested to be in the OR as much as possible. That's when I realized doctors are the worst humans on earth, and...

  13. Vidant October New Grad Residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to allisonww90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I went ahead and applied using my link. It seems shady, doesn't it? I came across it randomly on indeed, and there's no info on their website. It's like a secret club or something. Well, good luck to...

  14. Vidant October New Grad Residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to allisonww90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Do you have a website for Vidant's nurse residency? I'm having trouble figuring it out. All I see is this indeed ad, or whatever it is....

  15. All Children's Hospital Residency Program Fall 2014

    NewYorkerGirl replied to mac2014's topic in Pediatric

    I completed my pediatric clinical at ACH. Get ready to work your tail off: it was by far the most exhausting clinical I had during my BSN. It is an amazing facility physically, but the pay is the...

  16. 2 questions for school nurses.

    NewYorkerGirl replied to LevitateMe's topic in School

    I would like to be a school nurse one day. I completed a clinical setting in the schools for public health, and how the RN is paid differs greatly regionally. I've heard of nurses being paid at the...

  17. Weight loss in Nursing

    NewYorkerGirl replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One thing that has helped me defeat my sweet addiction is simply looking at the labels: preservatives, hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated oils, and ingredients that I can't categorize at all. I...

  18. Real World Med Math Problem

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm clueless. How many grams are in the

  19. USF Accelerated Nursing Fall 2014

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Laura_Bailly's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi sha2014, For the most part, I like the program. The professors really want you to succeed, it's not one of those programs that want to weed people out. But they're big on professionalism: we had a...

  20. Sarasota memorial hospital nurse residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to cmedar20's topic in Florida Nursing

    Four people for the whole program???? Or just 4 people today? I know there's 24 USF students graduating this summer with clinical there, so it is hopeless for most of them to get a job

  21. USF Accelerated Nursing Fall 2014

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Laura_Bailly's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm in my last semester of the ABSN program. Don't drive yourselves crazy over the statement: they don't want your life story. My professor said she was one of the ones who read the essays, and they...

  22. What inspired you to be a nurse?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm attracted to the amount of opportunities: travel nursing, night shifts, weekend shifts (I'd rather have days off during the week: no crowds in my way at the stores!), all sorts of ladders to climb...

  23. New Nurse and Compact State License?

    NewYorkerGirl posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I'll be a BSN grad in FL (a state that's not in the compact) and I wonder if it's smarter to fly to a compact state to take NCLEX so I'll be able to apply to more jobs in more states? Or can I...

  24. New Nurse and Compact State License?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in General Students

    Hmm, this is a pain in the neck. I guess I'll have to get a FL license and transfer it to wherever I find a job. I don't plan to live or work in FL once I graduate, so that's added expense I'd rather...

  25. Just got the good pop-up (Advice for future NCLEX takers/my study plan)

    NewYorkerGirl replied to rnaria's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If it cuts off in 75 questions, doesn't that mean you passed? Is it possible to fail that soon? I thought it would carry on for 200+
