Sorry didn't realize this was only for new grads. Although it says new grad program on KPs page that sadly is untrue they do not offer that program at this time.

Is finding a employer who provides a pension worth it? I have thought about working for Kaiser but I'm reading there union contract and it states "shall provide a monthly income commencing at age 65 of 1.45% of final average monthly compensation over...

I need advice. I'm moving from MI to OR this April. I am coming from an 80 bed Level 1 teaching hospital in Detroit. I have been offered a position in a Kaiser ED. I also have the possibility of OHSU. I'm at a total loss of who I should go with. They...

Is there a county tax on either on top of the state income tax?

ok, I see I did my calculation based on month not years, now it sounds a bit better. Apologize. Does anyone know of any other hospital west coast that provides pensions?

I'm planning to move to WA or OR. I'd really love to live in the PNW. I've lived about ten years on and off in AK but am currently living in MI. I'm missing the ocean and mountains! Any pros or cons that people can think of between the two states? I...

I know this throws off the formatting but make sure everything lines up nicely (all the dates line up etc). Add some color if you can to make it pop. I put my clinical experience directly under education. If you've got other work exp even if it's cus...

Took my NCLEX-RN yesterday (6/7/17) with 75 questions in 60 minutes did the PVT around 4 hours later and got the good pop up. I heard they released scores at 530am here in MI so I signed on this morning (next day 6/8/17) and found out I did pass . I ...

Does anyone know the pay or differentials?? I've got other offers but have an interview for cone and I'm trying to see if it is even worth it to fly out for the interview. Money would be the deciding factor for me because the programs I'm deciding be...

Hi, I'm graduating in April, 2017. I will be getting my MI license because I currently live here in MI and I want to use the MI license as a fall back. It scares me that CA takes up to 6 months so my plan is to get my license here in MI then apply f...

I hear just over 27/hr. Did you end up getting a position at HFHS?

I was placed in oncology for my preceptorship but want an ED position. Most ED jobs require that you've had clinical experience in ED or have at least 1 year experience. I've started to do 12 hour shadowing shifts at a level one trauma center. I'd l...

So I talked with Ascension Health + Beaumont HR and they said to add the shadowing experience to the resume for future new grads looking at this post. I just created an additional section: Observation Experience. They also said it could be mentioned...

I'm graduating from an ASD BSN program in MI April 2017. I was thinking of choosing AK as my licensing state. I have lived on and off in AK for about 10 years working in tourism and the veterinary medical field (Juneau + Seward). I know I don't want ...

When creating an account with Pearsonvue I see we have to pay the $200 fee for the exam and pick our state. I looked it up and it says we have 365 days to take the exam after registering. I'm wondering for MI if I also have to register for the MI BON...

Talk about happy holidays! Congratulations!!!

Wow, thank you! I just mailed my application to MI on Tuesday. I called ahead and they said they would keep it on file for 3 years if anything happened. Glad I sent it in early then!!!!

I figured this one out!! Just in case anyone is wondering as well... Register for NCLEX on Pearsonvue $200. There is a separate form to mail into the state of MI along with $54.54. The state then sends you a form for fingerprinting and requests a bac...

I am in the cohort that started summer 16. The avg GPA was a 3.4 for our group. I wouldn't worry and apply. There are no interviews or essays. I attached a couple letters of recommendation from my profs along with the application but they said I didn...

Hi everyone, I've got a few questions. I'm in an ASD program at Oakland University in MI. We are provided with 252 hours of general medsurg, 72 hours of PEDs, 72 hours OB, 42 hours of Psych, and 210 hours of preceptorship (mine will be in oncology a...

Hi, I graduate in April from an ASD BSN program in MI. I was thinking of putting CA for my licensing state. I see on the BON website it says a requirement is microbio with lab. I have general bio with lab, molecular and cellular bio with lab, but my...

I am completing my ASD BSN this coming April in MI. I was going to choose CA for my licensing state but I just went onto the BON and saw their education requirements. It seems you have to send them your transcript and I'm looking at the required pre...

Thanks so much for the advice! I definitely think I'm going to go that route. Or at least not choose it as my original licensing state. Congratulations on your ADN!! I wish you the best of luck :)
