Hi, I am currently a Cardiothoracic Stepdown RN in a New York City Hospital. I eventually would like to go back to school to be a CRNA. I've only been an RN for 1.5 years, but I like to prepare for things so what would be the best way to become a CRN...

In my hospital the nurses rotate between the labs and the holding area.

I saw this job position posted online... "Pre Admission / Testing - Ambulatory Surgery" Does anyone know what this job would be like? Could someone tell me what a typical day would be like? Thanks! Staff Nurse - RN - Pre Admission / Testing - Ambula...

You're right. I currently work on a busy unit that is extremely understaffed. We are currently down 10 nurses. We've gone through two managers in the past year. The turnover rate on my floor is extremely high and I fear that I may end up on another u...

I agree. The best thing you can do is apply to lots of positions and at interviews show a passion and willingness to learn. I think a medical/inpatient psych unit is a great place to start.

I don't think I had a 3.0 I don't remember putting in my gpa anywhere on the application. If you have experience in the field you definitely have a chance. I was on my schools nsna, I volunteered a lot in the emergency room/medical mission trips, and...

You absolutely do not need a study group to do well. Study groups were never my thing. It commonly lead to lots of talking and being off topic and never getting much actual studying done. I preferred to study alone. Do what works best for you. You ar...

I take it on this Friday so I guess I will have to wait until Monday to find out :c did you find out from pearson vue or the state website?

Did you take it on friday or saturday?

once you login click on the update profile and there should be an area that says resume and it should let you upload one..

Before and after the event I got an email saying I was a top new grad. If you login to check your status on the dashboard you can still upload your resume even after you've applied if you didn't upload a resume at the beginning of the application.

I graduated December 2015... I take nclex this week. Yes they will take you seriously if you are still in school and meet all the requirements. I don't know anyone who works at that hospital other than my boyfriends roommate is a occupational therapi...

Hi, I applied and was invited to the January 2016 event. They look at your application and resume before they invite you to the event. I was invited to the event and I submitted my resume after I had it looked at by some professors and the career ad...

Hi, I am fresh out of nursing school and about to be hired for a nurse residency program. I will be starting on the cardiothoracic step down. I am excited, but like all new nurse I am also nervous. I still have orientation and I will probably have a...

It went well! I was recently offered the position.

Mine says application under review for a staff nurse position, but for the new grad program, it still says interview. Also, I received an email inviting me back for a second interview this morning. Check your emails everyone!

Did your friend who received an offer already pass NCLEX?

That's so weird. They must have more than one New Grad Meet and Greet Event then... What hospital is yours at? Did they say it's the new grad event or are yours just like private interviews on the unit? Yes, it was a big event with interviews schedul...

Same!

Your email has a link to a secondary application, right?

Some questions I was asked...... Tell me about a time you inspired a co-worker or a classmate on the floor. Tell me about a time you had to handle a difficult patient. Tell me about a time you can to deal with conflicting needs. Tell me about a time ...

Nope! Just the email.
