  1. Buying or renting books....

    38pearl replied to anilechim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't rent textbooks until the last few semesters of nursing school and it was absolutely the best decision I made. I wish I rented each and every single book in pre-nursing classes and nursing...

  2. tips for people who want to move out of their home state

    38pearl replied to msrxchef's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi! If you don't currently know anyone in the region you want to move to, perhaps reach out to your schools alumni committee (if they have one) to see if any alum have moved to that region and...

  3. Job hunt advice for a second career nurse

    38pearl replied to MellyMN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with other posters that it usually will take months, not weeks, to hear back from places, and 1 month in if your resume is still being considered isn't a bad sign. Also, as another second...

  4. When a To-Be Engineer Wants to Become a Nurse

    38pearl replied to Jinac's topic in International Nursing

    Ultimately, you need to do what makes you happy. For some people, the prestige of certain careers drives their happiness, which is fine, I'm not judging that. As someone who did obtain a master's in...

  5. UNC Nurse Residency Program- Pediatrics

    38pearl replied to am2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Last year UNC didn't allow us to contact nurse managers directly. I mean, I guess you could, but the nurse manager couldn't do anything. They couldn't pull resumes, they couldn't request to interview...

  6. New Grad to ICU / Multiple Job offers

    38pearl replied to AC777's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats on all of your accomplishments!!! My only piece of advice would be to NOT cancel your other interviews. Even if you accept one of the other jobs and don't have any intention of taking these...

  7. UNC Nurse Residency Program- Pediatrics

    38pearl replied to am2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Last year pediatrics didn't start contacting people until end of March/beginning of April/beginning of May to come in for interviews. They invited people in clumps (individual interviews, but offered...

    38pearl replied to lengland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 26 when I left my old career & went back to school for my BSN. And now I'm 28, working as an RN, happier than I've ever been. It's absolutely worth

  9. Jobs In Nursing School

    38pearl replied to jasminemcano's topic in General Students

    I worked as a PRN CNA during nursing school. I was required to work 24 hours per month, and usually was able to work every other Sunday and avoid test weeks, which was really nice. It was great to...

  10. Pinning ceremony in a few days - When and how to start job search?

    38pearl replied to EP10's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It totally depends what state/region you're applying to. From my experience, North Carolina & Maryland tend to hire new grads while they're still in school/early after graduation before taking the...

  11. UNC apartment search - any suggestions on where to live during my ABSN?

    38pearl replied to adulting's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Collins Crossing is pretty affordable if you have a roommate. It's not the best place I've lived, but not the worst. It worked for while I was in nursing school and a fair number of nursing students...

  12. Why is no one responding

    38pearl replied to Shamekasmoore's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Maybe try posting in the Tennessee section under U.S.? I don't have any experience with the program, otherwise I'd try to

  13. Best New-Grad Job leading to ICU?

    38pearl replied to m1117's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's definitely not impossible to get an ICU job as a new grad. If possible, try to get a clinical rotation in an ICU for your preceptorship last semester, that can set you up nicely! If you are...

  14. Seeking advice New Grad Cardiopulmonary unit vs Orthopedic unit

    38pearl replied to McCraigo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think HouTx provided some great advice! I'd also recommend to the OP to consider what are your long term career goals? Which job (unit and hospital/location) will help set you up to best achieve...

  15. Interview dilemma

    38pearl replied to NRS86's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I also don't have personal experience in this, but my preceptor worked in the ED for years before transitioning to the NICU and was a fantastic nurse! It seems like there might not be much overlap,...

  16. Accepted a job at UNC. Where should I live?

    38pearl replied to healtheworld's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    @healtheworld, I don't know if you're still looking for an apartment but my 2 cents: Southern Village is a nice apartment complex that is close to the hospital, but is on the pricier side. If you...

    38pearl replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    @martha keaton: what program would you recommend to record lectures? Or anyone who records lectures, what do you use? iPhones come with "voice memo" but I don't know if it can 1) record a 3 hour...

    38pearl replied to MrsBaze's topic in North Carolina Nursing
