  3. Got a job with VCU Health!! Anyone else work there???

    nurseval86 replied to RVARN2BE's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think all new grads are required to do nurse residency - sometimes even if they've been at another job less than a year! We had an NP who came back to the bedside required to do residency because...

    nurseval86 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Virginia Nursing

    At VCU they will hire ADN on the promise that you'll obtain your BSN (on VCU). I think we maintain 70 or 80%

    nurseval86 replied to vcu17's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey vcu17. You sound like a great asset to the program. Retaking a class yielding a better grade is a good idea and shows determination. I don't think that would be a make it or break it deal though....

  10. Relocating to VA

    nurseval86 replied to Mackkt14's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It really depends on your own personal opinion... The highest price is 96$/month and comes out of your paycheck.. But there's also much cheaper lots/decks and a free one where busses run constantly in...

    nurseval86 replied to Mackkt14's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think PICU at vcu is hiring. You do pay for parking depending on where you want to park (and what's available). They make a killing in parking, but finding parking otherwise is near impossible. I...

    nurseval86 replied to palmer15's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My GREs were 800 and my SATs 1090 (from a scale 11 years ago, out of 1600) - they said if you didn't take GREs they'd look at SATs. Not sure if they even look at either but both of mine were abysmal...

    nurseval86 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi! I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum. I was wondering if anyone other nurses have had recent lap-chole's done and when they could go back to work? I saw a thread from about 10 years ago.. So I...

    Hi! It was the beginning of April I was pulled from the wait list. Yes you can buy hunter green scrubs and get them embroidered yourself. My experience with VCU school of nursing was incredible....

    nurseval86 replied to palmer15's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I didn't have a wait list number, I guess that is a new thing. I had 2 days to pay the $250 deposit. Once I got the email I just went straight down there and did it because I live

    nurseval86 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Where are you located? I have heard of similar scholarships. What type of area do they consider applicable for your scholarship? And the NCLEX wasn't nearly as bad as the prep for it. My entire class...
