    Is anyone else super nervous about moving? I've never lived alone or with people I don't know. I'm having palpitations thinking about moving out of my home. Everyone keeps saying that if I'm that...

    I'd like to either live alone (being an only child and never having to share anything) or a roommate who wouldn't care when I show up to stay my three days and any other days. It's like I either want...

    Hey guys, random question. I'm thinking of getting licensed here in Alabama as soon as I can after graduation and then applying for endorsement through TN BON. I was wondering if anyone has any idea...

    I'm antsy already and I don't start til February. I wish I could do SOMETHING with my nursing skills until I start there. I know I don't graduate until December, but next weekend is my last shift...

  7. Is my ED salary offer appropriate?

    NurseYoshi replied to RBrainRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm from North Alabama and I've got a friend who says that a hospital her friend works at pays $32/hr as a new grad with an ADN (which is crazy because our hospital we do clinicals at pays $18/hr!) I...

    I'm thinking I'd like to live alone, but everything in Nashville is so expensive! I have a coworker who moved here from TN and she told me to look in Hendersonville, but I really just need to take a...

    I know she said the Facebook page will be made in October (probably after everyone accepts or declines a spot) so maybe in the next two weeks. I was looking at TN BON and they seem to do everything...

    December grads: when do you all plan to apply to TN BON? I'm trying to figure it out online, but I don't understand the process for it because I don't want to apply just yet but if EVERYTHING takes...

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I thought they just had more open spots because more units are willing to be apart of the residency program. I just found the old Facebook pages for the residents and some people may not use Facebook...

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So I was looking at the groups from previous years and it looks like the amount of people are trending up. Like 2016 was 65 people (but that might've been the inception of the Facebook page too.) then...

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I feel like they'll offer to interview you for a different unit, but that unit either chooses to hire you or says no to you. I personally had a hard time deciding to accept it because I'd have to move...

  15. I feel so incompetent as a student nurse..

    NurseYoshi replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    BEING SHY DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING ABOUT YOU AS A STUDENT NURSE/NURSE! I am a quiet person. I was shy up until a year ago. I'm great at communicating with patients and families but with nurses, I need...

    Hey there! I may not be the best person to ask, but I do know some of the numbers that Huntsville Hospital pays employees. So a new grad RN starts at $18 (but I heard last night that they recently...

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    All the people saying "just give them the coffee" makes me think of a video we watched at orientation for my hospital. It's called "Give 'me the pickle". I'm not saying to just give in to the patient...

    My GPA is actually a lot lower! My overall GPA is 3.0 and nursing is 2.5. I've heard that they'll take accelerated BSN students and I don't see why they wouldn't prefer that. I think that's pretty...

    The email says Pediatric ICU track, but I think it's just PICU. Plus she's probably still calling people. I just don't know which other track I should take. I want Vandy because I feel the residency...
