    AvaRose replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    AvaRose posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well I tried. I followed up with Davita regarding an Acute dialysis position that I interviewed for and waited for a response and still heard nothing. I was so disgusted with the process that I may...

    Is LTC a good option if I can't find a job?

    AvaRose replied to 07courtney1993's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Around here anyway (Las Vegas) the hospitals usually state 'LTC/SNF experience does not count' towards the 1+ years of experience they want, so you would still be out of luck with experience if you...

    Thanks for the reply. I'll try them again on Monday and hope I get to move forward. I'm not scared of the hours, in fact the OT will be very handy for awhile as I have about 70K in debt that I would...

    Tips for Davita phone interview

    AvaRose replied to heronurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I just had my phone interview for Davita Acute. I had applied for both Chronic and Acute but the recruiter thought I'd be a better fit for the Acute side (though a lot of that was probably buttering...

    AvaRose replied to 2mint's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ATI post graduation

    AvaRose replied to ScottRobuck's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I would just do it. Something similar happened during my ATI and I had to do more remediation (though that is easy the answers are right there) and retake 2 assessments plus my 2nd tutor had me take...

    AvaRose replied to glaw5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To me most of the NCLEX seemed kind of easy compared to what my instructors said it would be like. I passed in 75 questions and 29 of those were SATA. But I had tests in nursing school that were 100...

    RN Ati comprehensive Predictor 2016

    AvaRose replied to gamblerlens's topic in General Students

    Don't you do all the modules first before you try taking the predictor? Your coach should be giving you assignments to see if you are even ready to take the exam. 80 is a bit high of an expectation on...

    Everest College RN Program

    AvaRose replied to angieedoll's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I saw that request and accepted it. I believe you can test out of A&P if they were taken within a certain period of time. I also have a Bachelor's degree but all that transferred in for me was...

    Everest College RN Program

    AvaRose replied to angieedoll's topic in Nevada Nursing

    They are nonprofit now and fully accredited which is the important part. So yes, I know that at least WGU will take the credits (and they are the cheapest for RN to BSN at only $3300 for 6 months of...

    I think I got offered a job

    AvaRose replied to AvaRose's topic in Nursing Career

    It's both. The rehab part I think is mostly post-stroke type patients as all traumas go to Las Vegas since the hospital here just isn't equipped for anything that serious. I am interested in the...
