Legacy/Randall Children is a really nice NICU but not sure they will be looking to hire. Lost OHP contract so volume is way down and hours are being cut in NICU/PICU

are you moving to Greenville for a specific reason? That is a big change from Toronto. Oh and the $22 sounds sorta right for a new grad. How much experience do you have?

You could even look to rent a room to a fellow travel RN. They could sign a lease and pay you monthly so they can have a tax home. You would get the benefit of the income and still not really have anybody staying in your house.

we have 10 people on our team (6 RN's and 4 CST's) Our manager does the schedule and the call schedule in 4 week blocks. Some RN's scrub and circulate and some just circulate. WE have 3 people on call every day (we use 2 scrubs and a circulator on a ...

Our main OR people have to take 10 - 16hrs per month. I am on the heart team (3 surgeons, 2 rooms) and take anywhere from 30 - 70hrs a week (depends if I am on a weekend or not). Normally 1 full weekend every 3 weeks.

Good that you are already aware of the pay cut you would take. NC does not lead the way in paying RN's and Southeast NC does not lead the way in NC in paying RN's. Consideration when looking for a house is if you will be within Wilmington city limits...

Are you dead set on L&D or will you consider other area's? Pretty much just 1 place to work in Wilmington and that is NHRMC. Brunswick (Novant) do have L&D but it is very small hospital and hire way less people. I ask about other specialties ...

it can be a concern and not only for instruments. I have had cervical issues which cause my 1 arm to be numb and I sometimes have to stand and hold the heart while he does 2 grafts and all he can say is make yourself smaller. I even resort to using m...

New grad pay at Mission in June 2016 was $22.26. They require that you get a BSN within 6yrs of your hire. Don't beileive there is a difference in pay from ADN to BSN.

Anybody have any insight into Mission Hospital in Asheville? I am graduating nursing school in May and have thought about relocating from the NC coast to the mountains. General new grad starting pay rate? nursing ratios? general thoughts on working a...

pretty much spot on at my OR in North Carolina

I heard back around 25th of Feb for one of my choices. Each dept was at a different time. I know my buddy only heard mid March for ICU and then they interviewed really late.

I was offered interviews in all 3 of my choices and was offered a position in my 1st two choices so I withdrew from the 3rd interview. Got job offers from Cardiac as well as the OR. I accepted a position in the OR. From my point of view they have bee...

If you met the Feb 1 priority deadline with the video interview and application and all is the same as last year you should expect to hear from the departments you put as your top 3 around beginning of March. Generally you will interview with a few m...

delete. Just realized this was from 6 years ago

Just graduated in may and 6 weeks into my first RN job.I am 45.

Well if none of your stuff will transfer you are going to have to take a bunch of pre reqs even if you do an ADN. In that case that will take you a year or two before you can even start the actual nursing program. Might as well just enroll in a 4 yea...

I tested on Wed 6/1 in NC. I cut off at 75 questions. Got my quick result today and I passed and I was emailed a copy of my license from NCBON. I did a live Hurst review back in the beginning of Jan just before my final semester at school. In the 3 d...

The questions I got were similar to Hurst. Hurst had a few unexpected ones like where the answer was popcorn for a high fiber food. That is not wrong but I did not expect such out there stuff. Hurst did teach me to really match the answers with the q...

Just to follow up on my earlier post about not stressing if you are not getting 84 or higher. I did 4 Hurst q-review's. Scores were 71, 81, 74 and 80. That was literally all the studying I did. Just got my 48hr result and I passed on 75 questions.

I don't disagree with you but Not sure on the $200. If they charge you and you pass they will not allow you to take the test again. They cannot charge you for something they will not provide. The non refundable part is when you the tester decide not ...

Calm down. Hurst do not say you should get 84/125. That is the median score of of people who pass the nclex. A median number is the number in the middle of a range, so there are a number of people who scored more than 84 and an number that are below ...

I actually got an email from Pearson giving info now that I had completed NCLEX so I tried the trick again. Got the good pop up. I know it is not a certain thing, but it gives me some hope. If it is wrong it is going to be a crappy discussion at my H...

I literally just finished the NCLEX 30min ago in NC. I cut off at 75 but do not feel that I got all that many select all that apply so now I am worried. Tried the PVT and got the open registration thing (so not the good pop up bt not the bad) Crap it...

That is awesome. Took them a while but better late than never. Congrats and good luck.
