I applied for an externship at my hospital summer between junior and senior years. I'v ebeen working since. Last week was my first time in the ED and at the end of my shift I asked to see the nursing manager. She gave me an informal interview on how my day was and we exchanged contact info. I followed up and she gave me the position. Networking cannot be stressed enough. Each day in the hospital for clinicals is an interview for a job. I'm perpetually stunned at the amount of 20 something year olds that don't get this and instead clown around in th ebreak rooms. Whenever you can, contact nurse managers, sell yourself, etc. And I'm pretty excited to start knowing I'll be getting experience other nursing students won't get until they graduate. Hopefully by then I'LL BE PRO =]
thanks!
Kinda random, but I'm a little glad I'm not in a cali nursing school.
brb no entrance exams.
brb got in with a 3.01

Networking is key when it comes to landing a job. I've only had one job ask me what my GPA was. All they really care about is that you passed the NCLEX and show willingness to learn and work well with others. High personality is key. I had ZERO hospital experience outside of clinical, and they didn't care because everyone can be taught if they are willing to learn. As a brand new grad, you aren't going to know ****. You'll know what to do in a perfect world with the perfect supplies and settings, but the reality of it will be that you don't have the perfect set up and you have 4-5 other patients needing something from you (potentially just as important as the primary concern.) lol... all that is just taught in the field, through repetition and watching/helping your coworkers out!

Because the cost of living is outrageous...? Brb 90k in san fran....living off ramen with 3 roommates. Obvious troll is obvious. You're setting yourself up to be ignored from any assistance..I doubt you'd claim you need advice, but then again, those are the same people that kill patients. Enjoy future litigations

u w0t, people in regular areas clear 70k without OT, 90k with OT, median in san fran is 97k, 97k in salinas, 97k in napa, 116k in san jose, 100k in oakland...
thats the median... not sure if your poverty school made you take statistics, but those are just the median wages in cali (http://money.usnews.com/careers/best...d-nurse/salary), that means there are people clearing 200k
(http://calcoastnews.com/2011/12/42-c...ch-in-6-years/)
the highest paid registered nurse in cali made something like 260k

Some schools are different. For example, you enter college as a pre-nurisng student. You would take regular gen ed classes that would satisfy the pre-reqs like history, sociology, anatomy bs stuff like that. You apply to the university's nursing school during sophomore year to start as a junior.
Other schools you go in as a nursing major and start taking basic nursing classes as a freshman mixed in with general ed.

Not in a hospital setting brah.
HOLY SIHT LMAO. You CANNOT be serious? LOLOLOL
You sound like you're going to be one of those nurses that introduces himself as "Dr. XXXX" to patients...
If you want to be an actual doctor, go to medical school. Just keep in mind that you're a nurse and you always will be a nurse first and foremost. No amount of online classes from the University of Phoenix is going to change that.
Dr. NURSE...

Oh lord, the ignorance. By 2025, all nurses in my field must have a doctorate. Acute Nurse Practitioners can be doctorates. Physician assistant programs soon to be offering doctorate. Physical therapy is now doctorate. Pharmacists can have doctorate. All of these professions are already in the hospital setting. Times are changing and haters gonna hate. Get used to it.
I can introduce myself as doctor and I wouldn't be wrong in doing so.Last edited by Rabbitw00t; 11-17-2012 at 02:20 PM.
