Good Luck! This is such an exciting time!

I am a new grad and just moved to Texas for a job. If you are willing to learn to love the heat...look into jobs in the big cities or even the smaller ones. There are a lot of new grad internship programs that begin in January. Good Luck

:yeah::yeah:Congratulations! That is Awesome! Good Luck in your future as a Woo Hoo!

Hey...Hang in there I went through the same thing. I have applied to over 60 jobs and only got one interview. I graduated last April and just landed a new grad internship position. I know you'll find something. I am having to move out of state, but ...

Best of Luck to you :) I'm sure you'll have no problem. I am relocating to Texas as well. I just got a job offer after an exhausting 9 month job search. Hang in there I bet you'll find a job in no time

Hey, Hang in there If I were you I would take the new grad program in WA. You will get so much experience that is more transferable to other units. Think about which job relates more to your long term goals. And, I know right now two years sounds li...

:yeah: Congrats! That is AWESOME!

All you have to do is go to the Washington Website... http://www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/Professions/Nursing/forms.htm Click on the link above and follow the directions for Registered Nurse License by examination. To get a WA license you also have to have HI...

Congrats on getting the second interview :) That is great. That means that the phone interview went well. Don't stress out too much about the peer interview, just be yourself and you will do great. The peer interview is with nurses that are already e...

There are a few hospitals in the portland area that have new grad programs. However, jobs in portland are hard to come by right now even if you have experience. If you're willing to travel, Salem hospital has a nurse residency program for summer 2009...

:DCongratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so Exciting!! Good Luck, I'm sure you're going to do great!!!

I have to take the TEAS test for acceptance into my school's nursing program. I was wondering if any of you have heard of it, and what are your thoughts about it. I'm not worried about it being too difficult, I'm just curious what it's about. Thanks!

My med surg clinical instructor told us to buy a Medical Surgical Disease Handbook, she said it didn't matter which one as long as it contained a broad spectrum of diseases. Does anyone have any books that they would recommend? I have no idea what to...

Yay! I had my first nursing class today! I was very excited, the one crazy thing is though is that we had 4 hours of lecture. As you can imagine, it was hard to stay focused at times, but I made it through. As I suspected, it is going to be a crazy a...

I also number my lecture notes, so that I always know the order we went in. During one 50 minute lecture, I got about 10 pages of notes, so it was a lot easier to know which order I took them in, then trying to figure it all out. Also, it is useful w...

Thanks for all your replies, I am starting nursing school on Monday. I am very excited, but I'm also a little nervous because our first lecture is 4 1/2 hours long, YIKES! I don't know if I'll be able to stay awake that long, and we have two of those...

I am definitely all for the laptop. I rarely use a desktop, especially for school work. I just finished all my pre-reqs, and used my laptop for everything. Sure, it is a year and a half old, but it isn't that outdated yet, I plan on using it for the ...

Pathophysiology and Pharmacology are required at my school, and I am in a BSN program, so maybe we take them because we have a little more free time, especially since we have 2 and half years of clinicals instead of the typical two which is par for m...

I am just as excited as all of you! I start on January 9th, WooHoo! I can't wait. I have already got my uniform and my shoes. I haven't bought my books yet, but they will run about 600 from the bookstore, and I have already found them online for a bu...

:uhoh21: Can anyone say "unknowns"? Well, right now, we are working on identifying unknown bacteria, and it is torture. I don't have time for anything except for working on unknowns, and when I am not working on them, I am thinking about them or drea...

So Yay! I just got into nursing school. I found out last night. I live in dorms, and I didn't know that the letters were in, and some girls came running onto the hall screaming because one of them got their letters, so I checked my mail, and I had go...

I haven't read the entire thread, but whatever happened to grace and compassion? I think that as future nurses, we should consider that sometimes things don't happen how they're supposed to, and that we need to learn to accomodate. If we consider thi...

So guys, I took the TEAS test a week and a half ago, and I had nothing to worry about. I don't know my percentile rank, but I did very well, I got the highest score in my program. I did not even look at a TEAS manual, and I took the test on only two ...

I am also one of the many possible Winter starters. I find out on November 15th. I am so excited. My school only takes 40 students in each year. Yay! and Congratulations to those of you who already know you're in!
