    Yeah, SSM from what I've heard hires new grads at around $20/hr. I was talking about Kindred Hospital (new hires start at $25/hr), at least that's what my buddy from school who got hired tells me. I...

    Levitas replied to SionainnRN's topic in Emergency

    Well, you're leaving anyways, so I suppose it's moot to say, I still believe that there should be someone you could talk to about the situation. Whether it's requesting to call a meeting to discuss...

    Maybe they're overloading you to give the veterans a temporary break since they know you're leaving? :) "Hey, she's going to be gone soon anyways, why not give her a nice going away present in the...

    I'm so sorry to hear this, naureian. I'm certain that you've heard this numerous times, but I really am. I hope that you can find what it was that caused this temporary set-back, and prevent it from...

    Levitas replied to SionainnRN's topic in Emergency

    Forgive me if it isn't my place to say this, especially since I have no real experience, but, wouldn't it be better to explain your frustration to the nurse(s) that are causing you this woe? Do...

    Thank you all, very much! I've a question, if anyone can help me? I'm finishing up the final touches on my alterations on my resume. I got my license # today (yay!), and I'm adding it to the resume....

    If you're at Mercy, they rotate from day-time to night-time clinical. I think the night-time goes from 2:00-9:00p.m. If that would get in the way of life, I'm sure they'd allow you to switch...

    I've only had the one interview, but I will say, 2 Lutheran grads already got hired at the facility I'm trying to get into. Depending on where you end up after graduating, you might have to start on...

    20's not so bad. This is for someone with no prior experience. If you can land a nurses tech/aid position before you graduate, definitely do so. That will help with a better start rate, and!, possible...

    Levitas replied to MissDS's topic in General Nursing

    It varies from facility to facility. Most graduate nurses, working on a hospital floor, can expect in and around $20/hr. However, this can be higher depending on what floor, as well as differentials...

    I am still waiting on one job that I interviewed at. I was offered a position at a nursing home, but I want to work in a hospital, if possible. After I get my license #, I'm going balls to the wall on...

    You're so very welcome. I know what it's like going into the program without knowing what to expect. I'll help in any way possible. On a side note: I do believe I passed my NCLEX

    I'm glad to of helped dispel some of your nervousness. It's perfectly normal to have some anxiety about starting nursing school. It's a big life decision, and it's a hard school (any of 'em). It's...

    Not sure what you mean by sim-labs, simulation? Like with a machine? We've mannequins, and materials to practice procedures, but nothing overly fancy. When you get to level two classes, we've practice...

    From what I've seen, if you plan on getting your BSN in the future (post-graduation), and put that on your application, then you shouldn't have trouble finding work. Even if you never went back to...

    Yes, it's a Diploma program. But bear in mind what I previously said, our program offers more clinical hours than any other school in St. Louis (as far as I know). That's huge. Getting through school,...
