Hi y'all, my question today pertains to a new grad RN residency program that I may start this summer. However, my husband is in the military and I am having some concerns. We are to be stationed in Jacksonville, Fl for four years and the residency pr...

My job is downtown. And snafu13 was quite right in her description of our interview process. However, I had scenario questions along with behavioral. For example, what would you chart after completing wound care. It was interesting to say the least. ...

That's AWESOME!!! Congratulations!! What floor will you be on??

I was under that same impression morgangreen. I interviewed for the residency program, however I am not selected for that. I wonder if they found out I am married to someone in the military and didn't want to risk the chance of me leaving soon. It's ...

Recruiters just called me and offered a position which I accepted. However, it's not with the residency program. I'll go through a normal orientation and have no contract to sign. Not what I was expecting, but thankful for a job no less.

MzrRN, I'm very happy for your friend! Did they call or email her?

Snafu13, I followed up the day after the interview to basically say 'thank you' for your time and consideration. I didn't want to send a card/letter because it would have been received too late. MzrRN, did your friend apply for the new-grad residenc...

Well, I haven't heard anything from a recruiter or anything. However, the nurse manager that I emailed finally replied. She said that she was impressed and that someone from recruitment should be contacting me soon. It's hard to tell if she means tha...

First off, congrats on your choice to enter the world of nursing! A&P was my favorite pre-req! In regards to preparing for nursing school, ask some first semester students if you can have a copy of their syllabus so that you can get a feel for wh...

I received a full tuition scholarship and a pell grant during college for my first two years. My scholarship paid tuition, book services, and fees. My pell grant deposited into my account. I suggest saving every dime of that money if you can. I ended...

During my time in nursing school, we started out doing 6 hour shifts twice a week for the first two semesters and the last two were one 12 hr shift a week until preceptorship. It was a BIG change going from being on a floor for half a day to an entir...

I used many refrences, including classmates and workbooks, but I found google to be the best of help during pharm! I just googled 'how to remember med classes/med names' and took off from there. Also try remembering the prefixes/suffixes e.g. 'olol' ...

I'll be sure to tell you when I hear something!! I interviewed for a general med-surg unit and a oncology unit. Fingers crossed for either of them because I desperately need a job, but oncology if I'm being honest :)

That's exactly how I felt, too! I'm really very nervous right now and just want to know already! I sent a thank you email to the nurse managers, hopefully they don't think I'm being pushy haha. Please comment whenever you hear something. I really hop...

Hi, I applied for this residency program also! I went to the interview on the 24th (which was wayyy different than what I had imagined) and now waiting to hear back from someone. How did your interviews go? Has anyone said when they are going to cont...

Thank you all for your tips and suggestions! I ended up buying a suit that was 60% off on a one day sale! Pretty lucky :) I interviewed for two positions and I feel each interview was very positive. Now begins the hardest part: waiting!

I just received an email from a large hospital system in my area asking me to interview for their new grad nurse residency program! I am so thrilled to have this opportunity, but now my nerves are really setting in. This will be my first ever "real" ...

Thank you so much!

I graduated with my ADN and passed NCLEX in March. However, I haven't been job hunting until just recently because we were waiting to hear where my husband will be stationed next. We've just found out that we will be staying in our same location (Jac...

Would it look bad on me to be hired in and then turn around and ask for a week off so soon? That's my only concern. I'd like to have a job to return to after my vacation

Hi y'all, my main question is did anyone have a non-school affiliated pinning ceremony or know of someone who has attended one? If so, what was it like? My class really needs ideas! We are graduating in December, but because of the lack of support fr...

Thank you! We are using a local high school's auditorium but the pinterest ideas are great! I don't know why I didn't think of that! :)

I appreciate both of your opinions. However, we are all close and we have collectively decided to throw ourselves a ceremony because no one is going to attend the "official" one given by the school five months after we have already finished. We will ...

I sincerely hope that I posted this in correct forum. If not, I do apologize for my mistake. Which is exactly what I am full of- mistakes. I will make this as brief as possible without divulging into all the bits and pieces that make me tick. I am ...

My program is 78%. But we work on a "points" system. Each assignment (including exams) is given a certain amount of points it is worth and at the end of the course you have to have a set amount of points to pass. For example; at the end of the course...
