  1. New Grad Nurse Needing Opinions

    aspiringrn1987 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a new grad RN, graduated in May and I'm at my first job in a LTC facility where I got about 4 days of orientation and then I've been on my own on night shift with 55-60 residents since then....

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm limited on how many places I can apply to based on locale. None of the larger cities in my state called me back at all. I got interviews in the smaller cities and was rejected. Not sure where else...

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Usually I wear a pencil skirt/dressy top. We just moved and so I went with what I found which was slacks and a dress top. I just really do not know. It has to be something about me personally at...

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new grad and these interviews are for new grad programs. I dress very professionally. Today it was black slacks, black flat shoes, and a white button up top. They asked me why I wanted to work...

  12. Anybody else ever experience this? Advice?

    aspiringrn1987 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Anybody else ever experience this? Advice?

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

  15. Anybody else ever experience this? Advice?

    aspiringrn1987 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you. I am so frustrated. How do they expect me to move there if they can't verify income in a timely fashion to any of the rental homes I line up? Seems

  18. Started GCU online RN to BSN! Go Lopes!

    aspiringrn1987 replied to nursgirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just started on 6/13, also after lots of research and I really like it. I think it will be a challenging program but very doable. I JUST graduated on 5/13 and obtained my license on 5/20 so I don't...

  19. Is this right?

    aspiringrn1987 replied to kariace's topic in General Students

  22. Passing cut offs

    aspiringrn1987 replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    My school is 80%, and for EVERY class we have to have an exam average of 80% not counting homework grades or we fail. If it was 70, our cohort of 45 probably wouldn't be down

  23. Grading scale

    aspiringrn1987 replied to maleRN2MSN's topic in General Students

    92-100 (A) 85-92 (B) 80-84 © Anything below an 80% is failing, even if it is 79.9. There is no rounding of any sort on any assignments or on final grades for the course. I do not think a program's...
