Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. UL Hospital (Kentucky One/Catholic Health Initiatives) is always looking for PRN nurses! Good luck.

I graduated in Nov 2015, took boards in April and passed first time around (thank God). Had a bit of a break in between due to a family emergency which resulted in my parents moving in with me and my family. Anyway, I'm having the worst time findi...

I'm looking in Louisville, KY. Maybe I will just start dropping by offices...thing is, how do you go about that? Just ask receptionist if you can speak to the doc? Or drop off something for him/her?

At this point, I'd work for any setting...my RN experience is hospital ICU for over 10 years, but I've applied to urgent care clinics, doctors' groups, home health, derm, geriatric, even correctional care...

Thanks for your responses. I live in Kentucky, so already fairly rural. Louisville is fairly saturated at the moment. Moving or relocating is a little tough as my kids are pretty involved with programs...I'd hate to move everybody up just for my in...

Hi vkirby63! It was pretty casual for us, first day I wore a polo and khaki pants (i'm a guy) but by the middle of the first week we were wearing khaki shorts and pretty much whatever, as long as no one went overboard...that was my experience, not s...

Hi and welcome. Not sure that you can choose your instructor. As far as NP 601, I'd definitely recommend it. Just stay on track with your classes now so that you can take it in the summer. You have to have Pharm done and grade posted before you ca...

Anyone having trouble with getting in touch with advisors, clinical coordinator, etc? I've been trying to email anyone regarding wrapping up clinical requirements to get started and all I get is an auto-reply. Anyone else having this problem curren...

Thanks for the book advice. NP 601 on campus was well worth the trip, I would highly recommend to anyone if it lines up with the scope and sequence of classes. Still getting the last few clinical requirements ironed out and haven't logged on to Typ...

What textbooks are required for NP 612/613? I can't seem to find that listed anywhere. Thanks

I saw some 'kits' online, but were very $$ so I just ordered an otoscope, tuning fork and percussion hammer through Amazon and it was relatively inexpensive, and I'll just take my own stethescope. RN-In Maine do you have any tips for the class? Thx

thanks pjacob. The instructor hadn't advised me to bring those things....I emailed her and she said to bring them!

Hey playboyesquire or any others....headed to Maine in about a week for the summer NP601. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

HI Debs17, I emailed you back a few days ago, but if you didn't get it: I'm finishing up my last Unit in Pharm. I'm not sure if all instructors have the same syllabus but each unit has 3 lessons: readings, 1 timed quiz (which is pretty tough!), and...

Anyone who has taken the summer session of NP601 Assessment - what is the dress code (for a man)? Just casual or scrubs when assessing the volunteer patients? Any input or advice? Thanks

Hi Debs17, I am finishing up NP602. It is not as difficult as patho, but still a lot of busy work!

Just got a call for an interview at the VA for an ICU position in two days. So this is kind of last minute, but hoping to get a response. I haven't been on an interview in a long time, but assuming (as a male) to just wear khakis/nice shirt? Do I ...

So, I had an interview for an ICU position at the VA yesterday that I'm pretty interested in! HR called me this morning, which I thought was pretty quick and I was excited. They did offer me the position, but it is nights, and I was under the impre...

Thanks, I agree. It was pretty frustrating...but getting over it.

So, HR says they only have the night shift position available, and I had to turn it down. I hate that everyone wasted time in the process. It would have been VERY helpful if during the interview, the panel of three could have said, "oh by the way, ...

Yeah, I definitely will ask HR about the form and if it was sent inadvertently to me? Anyway regarding the shifts....I would probably go ahead and take nights just to get in, but my situation may not make it possible. I'm in a MSN/FNP program as w...

Thanks Pixie.RN! I wore the black suit, but with a medium blue shirt and black tie, it seemed to work. I got a call back today, one day after the interview :) Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I will probably rock the black suit :)

Thanks jeckrn. I was leaning towards wearing a suit, but I only have a black one and I'm thinking that may be too formal.

So, for those that posted problems with the Pharma class, what specifically did the instructor not to seem to be satisfied with? The written assignments, chosen meds for scenario, ?? I've just started. How are the quizzes?
