hEY BRAHS. I just got based in the Emergency Department functioning as an ER Tech. I'm feeling happy and just wanted to share with everyone.

brb foot in door for potential ICU position?

nice, what are your qualifications and how'd you get the job? this seems like the best job to get if you're going to be an rn since your foot is in the door already

[.:Chris:.]

Gratz murse90!

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 =]

Gratz murse90!

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

strong work. keep it up

[Ivan7x]

wtf any tips on remembering all the trunk muscles?

horry shieeeett...

[Soullus794]

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!

[KaptKrunch]

you don't even have a day of nursing school experience and you're in here talking down to someone who went through everything to get theirs, sat for their boards, and passed, and now works in the field?

Lemme fill you in on something. How you do in nursing school does not directly correlate to real life. NCLEX world is vastly different from real world when it comes to basically anything relating to nursing.

lmfao.... u are aware i am in california and our schools > yours?

strong everything in that statement. brb school = nothing.

i got connections already i have 3 hospitals and am in contact with their HR personnel and they are waiting to hire me. just not sure which one i want to work at.

[KaptKrunch]

there is a reason california nurses start at 40 an hour and clear 90k in the cities....

take ur poverty certfications else where and don't judge, lest ye be judge yourself.

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

You're officially delusional. I had a job before I graduated, and it's probably better than what you'll end up with. Poverty studies? You have no clue

graduating RN school in 33 days

fuuuuck i can't wait.

finding a critical care job is a bish doe.

note to future RN schoolers go to a 4 year program.

Would going into college as a Pre-Nursing student and then applying during your sophomore year into the University's school considered a 4 year program? Or is a 4 year program considered applying directly into the nursing school as a freshmen? Thanks

[BrandonTe]

Any of you brahs go right into a 4 year nursing program straight out of highschool with no first year uni pre reqs? I'm Canadian so I don't know what the American equivalent program is

[Rabbitw00t]

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.

I'm a doctor. Reading nurses arguing over who's more educated is like watching a two midgets in a street fight.

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...

[Rabbitw00t]

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.
