    Part-time RN/BSN programs in NC?

    WookieeRN replied to Reneesky's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Do you currently have a nursing license or are you looking for a prelicensure program? There are tons of online RN-BSN programs, like UNCW, but you have to already have an unencumbered nursing license...

    Part-time RN/BSN programs in NC?

    WookieeRN replied to Reneesky's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't know of any part-time nursing programs, at least in my area of NC (the Triangle). Or evening. I know that the LPN to ADN program at Durham Tech is evenings, but I'm pretty sure it's full-time...

    2017 Duke New Grad Program

    WookieeRN replied to KUnewgrad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you were rejected, you'll get a form email from the recruiter. I honestly didn't watch my application status because the recruiter for my unit reached out to me via email didn't go through the...

    2017 Duke New Grad Program

    WookieeRN replied to KUnewgrad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    While Duke does pay kind of low for the area, the benefits kind of make up for it. Especially the up to $25K in loan repayment over 3 years. The health insurance is VERY affordable, as well. That's...

    Dilemma

    WookieeRN replied to Drew Thompson's topic in General Students

    Definitely first need you to tell me what you would do, then I'd probably feel more fair to tell you my thoughts on the

    2017 Duke New Grad Program

    WookieeRN replied to KUnewgrad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    For the job I accepted, I was just told that my start time would be between 8am and 11am, 3 12s a week, with 1 week of nights every 8 week schedule. For my other ones, they just told me it was...

    I think they're still interviewing. One of my friends got a request for an interview on a couple units like 2 or so weeks

    2017 UNC New Grad Program

    WookieeRN replied to sirengoddess's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think they're still hiring. I've heard people being told they are reviewing more applications in May. I withdrew my application after I accepted a position at Duke so I haven't been paying too much...

    How do I get my dream job?

    WookieeRN replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll start this by saying that whether or not a hospital hires ADNs into the ED is entirely dependent on the area. Out of the 50 people in my cohort, only one made it into the ED for nurse residency....

    Item for nursing school

    WookieeRN replied to NursetoNP23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We weren't even allowed to have Apple watches for my program. They were very specific about a watch with a second hand. Also, with how much I was using hand sanitizer and washing my hands, it was more...

    WookieeRN replied to 2bnpcout's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think mid-range for Levines (which is in the Carolinas Health System) is like $26ish an hour. I honestly don't know about sign-on bonuses or relocation bonuses. Novant is a little higher, I

    Was the job offer turned down?.

    WookieeRN replied to xyfy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    She definitely let you go. You should've negotiated this before it got to the job offer status (i.e. the interview) and not after the job as been offered. She decided to go the polite way, and...

    Help Accepting Low Job Offer

    WookieeRN replied to Rweiss93's topic in Nursing Career

    I would think that a job > no job. I wouldn't rule out a job before you have the offer, and I definitely think it's a poor idea to rule out a job when you have no viable Plan B options. However,...

    Options for parents and spouses with strict schedules

    WookieeRN replied to TexRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think LTC will probably be your best best as a new grad. Out of all the people I'm graduating with, I think I am one of the very few that got a day shift position (and that even starts between 8a...

    invalid Hesi question or just tricky

    WookieeRN replied to the-needle-pusher's topic in General Students

    Was this a priority teaching question? Its hard to tell what the question was really asking without seeing it, but I have a feeling it was more of a compliance question than a safety question. Many...

    invalid Hesi question or just tricky

    WookieeRN replied to the-needle-pusher's topic in General Students

    I would say the priority is informing them that it takes 2-3 weeks to work is because they will most likely go off it because it's "not working" in 3 days if they haven't been told a realistic time...

    WookieeRN replied to lebelesprit_'s topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I also don't want you to feel discouraged. Nursing school is just a large, difficult, yet rewarding jump. You just have to do what it right for you. I know tons of classmates that took living expense...
