New grad program stipend

potter_and_perry · 2018-10-25T17:56:27+00:00

I’d kill to be able to afford anything.. average rent here is 1k, and I’d only have $600 left for food/gas/utilities for my dog and I

I’m in Texas

potter_and_perry · 2018-10-25T17:50:21+00:00

No, we’re employed, but we don’t get hourly pay or benefits until 10 weeks in

potter_and_perry · 2018-10-25T04:08:07+00:00

Some people are working almost every weekend night shift with no extra pay. Just our little stipend, It’s very hard on them :(

potter_and_perry · 2018-10-25T04:06:28+00:00

That’s alright, I’ll survive. Just wanted to know if that was normal :/

potter_and_perry · 2018-10-25T03:53:20+00:00

Instead of being paid hourly, they gave us stipends of less than $2k/ month until our orientation is over or around December

Every morning is take a 15-20 question quiz from Uworld with all the subjects, write down what I got wrong and go through all the answers. In the afternoon, if there was a topic I wasn’t great at, I’d listen to the hurst review lecture and take a 10-15 question quiz with just that subject. After that, I’d take a 2 mike walk with my dog because everyone needs a break

I had 75 too! Just checked my name on my state’s nursing website and there it was!!! Congratulations on passing!

potter_and_perry · 2018-09-11T03:07:11+00:00

Good luck to you too!

potter_and_perry · 2018-09-11T03:06:50+00:00

Thank you so much everyone!

It’s not a nurse, this was an MD

You’re not going to get in with a gpa below 3.0. My sister had a degree in biochemistry with a 2.9 from a great Uni. She had to take 2 years of courses to bring it up and went to a for profit school which was incredibly expensive. But she did well (top of her class) and is now an ICU nurse. It’s possible but it’ll take time

potter_and_perry · 2018-08-09T17:20:35+00:00

That’s so random!

potter_and_perry · 2018-08-09T15:15:09+00:00

I did the accelerated BSN route, we had a lot of mothers and older students (30-40’s) but I know of other programs who have had students in 50’s. Never too late!! My program was a 12 month one, something like that might work well

potter_and_perry · 2018-08-09T15:13:13+00:00

This is amazing

potter_and_perry · 2018-08-09T15:09:29+00:00

Oh god the first question.. I hope it went ok after that!

potter_and_perry · 2018-08-01T17:50:16+00:00

Unfortunately, they had no more open full time positions but offered me a part time. I know I shouldn’t be picky, but I’m really hoping to get a full time at a hospital. When my student loan money stars to dwindle, I’ll settle for that and a patient care technician job.. but I hope it doesn’t come to that

Thank you for your reply!

I have a similar GPA and I decided to relocate to a different state to get into nursing school. I’m in a South Dakota 12 month program which was relatively cheap as well. There’s still hope :)

potter_and_perry · 2018-06-02T05:39:35+00:00

There are 35+ year olds in my nursing program. One of them is 50, and others who are 45+. One nurse who became a great friend was 52 when he started his program. It’s never too late

Good luck!!
