Turned in all required documents and my previous instructors sent in their evaluation forms and I completed my personal statement (which was great in my opinion! Haha) . Got invited to complete the video interview on the 23rd of jan, a Friday, did i...

Hi, I have a SC RN license and am completing an endorsement application for a license in VT. It states that I must attach a passport sized photo from within the past 6 months to my application. I have a passport sized photo .... the one I submitted f...

Didn't even know it was legal to take a job that is below your license level ...besides the standard of care you'd be held to, what about pay? I thought legally they have to pay you as an RN and not LPN pay.... and if they are paying you as an RN the...

Also, it sucks alot more pulling long ten hour night shifts at my home health job 4 days in a row and sometimes plus an extra day that week. Though I'd like day shift in a hospital, I'm much more willing to work 3 twelve hour night shifts to get my f...

I am a new grad RN and just started in home health .... did LTC previously for a year as an LPN and briefly when I got my RN license. Where I'm from I got into the hospital via a residency program but turned it down to move and it's harder getting in...

I kind of have a patient like that. He's not actually a vegetable, but Def is not all there. Doesn't understand you or communicate or react on a personal level ... just kind of reacts to stimuli... doesn't speak ... might look your way in reaction to...

I suppose I am writing this to vent, express my opinion, generate comments and opinions, and maybe even help others who may relate and find a solace in reading my post. I say sorta new grad because I was an LPN at a nursing home for a year (RN there...

I do home health high tech paid by medicaid. And of course I would never use the term babysitting. Was just drawing a point on this board.

While the hospital is still where I want to be, I do have to agree that I'd definitely enjoy intermittent visits better than this when it comes to HH / PD. I am at "work" now. I'm basically an overnight baby sitter. I'm here to give mom a break from ...

I actually just started working for bayada. I really so think it must depend on the location of the agency you work for. I've read mixed reviews. My agency seems pretty good here in Vermont .... right now I'm having no problem getting full time hours...

Yeah, I can see why you'd refer to my line of work as private duty. My agency is called a home health agency though! Haha. I can see the point you're trying to make though. I guess people have different ideas of what home health are maybe ..... I too...

I will have been working for 10 mos as an LPN in a skilled nursing home facility by the time I graduate in December. Will this aid me at all in landing an RN job as a new grad? I sure hope it'll help since besides that have only had one other long te...

I've read a million posts advising how wonderful and great it is to contact the nurse manager of a unit you're interested in .... I've read it shows initiative and interest and helps you to stand out and many people got interviews and jobs this way ....

My situation condensed: I live in SC, graduated in December 14, trying to relocate to VT. One year of SNF LPN experience. Have visited VT several times to see my boyfriend and have an active license in both SC and VT. Still in the running for gettin...

How on earth can I move to a place where I don't have a job yet ..... hence the reason I am trying to get a job to pay for an apartment so I can live here .... c'mon people, really? So I'll move and pay for a place ..... how? And sorry but sometimes ...

I'm in the applicant pool for FAHC (well now called University of Vermont Medical Center). I applied on Jan 1, got invited to do the video interview so did that 6 weeks ago. Spoke with HR today to find out the next step since it's been 6 wks with no ...

ALSO: I scoured positions open at the hospital today bc I was curious and SO many units that they say they hire new grads into (according to the new grad nurse info page on their site) are hiring right now ....wonder if that means I could get a call ...

Just for the record, if anyone reads this post and wonders the same, I spoke with HR about the next steps in the hiring process. Since I got invited to do the video interview (which I completed 6 wks ago), I am now in the "pool of applicants". They p...

I'm a Dec 2014 grad. I've grown exceedingly interested in the nicu and one of the new grad residency programs I applied to does include nicu as one of the units they hire new grads into. Obviously, I want to spice up my resume if there are indeed any...

I wrote a fairly extensive statement .... it was a few paragraphs ... like maybe a half or 3/4 page typed. But you're right, there were no specific directions so I wouldn't sweat it. 5 weeks since I submitted my video interview now ... very slow proc...

I should graduate this December 17th in South Carolina. I am indefinitely moving to Vermont after for personal reasons, but of course I'm not going to do so until I secure a job there. My question is, do employers find it attractive when they have an...

Also, I live in sc and we have so many decent hospitals AND lots of great nursing schools so I imagine it is hard to break into the south as an out of state applicant .... at least as a new grad. But persistence is key. Honestly I'm finding that unle...

VT where I'll be moving is actually pretty accepting of out of state people From what I gather and have been told. (Bf grew up there and lives there, and friends/ coworkers of his who previously worked in the hospital in burlington have told me I sho...

Over 3 weeks now ... still not even an update .....no news is good news I guess since my application is actively being considered I guess but geez .....

I know my situation is a little different .... but I applied to uvm medical center for the new grad nursing residency and they have also been silent since my last materials were submitted ....I'm guessing uvm school and hospital are slow on their app...
