   Hey UVMgrad17! I just interviewed for the surgical oncology floor yesterday. The nurse director and charge nurse were great, and I enjoyed speaking with them. They didn't grill me with any clinical...

   Trhl09 replied to BrainsRCool's topic in Virginia Nursing

   Any 2016 ABSN grads out there want to comment on how the job hunting went after passing the NCLEX/during the school year? Should we be looking for jobs now with just a semester + a few weeks under our...

    Good luck to those applying for the 2017 entering cohort! I feel like GMU really did look holistically at the applicants. I have a BS and MPH, but my undergrad grades weren't great. HESI was 95%. I'm...
