Two questions... - Page 3

Take NCLEX as quickly as possible after graduation.

I was hired 3 months before I graduated for my first RN position. I graduated in December of 2011. Started my internship the last week of January 2012.

I took the NCLEX about a month after graduation. I wanted my studying and school knowledge of nursing to be fresh. I started working in early September of the same year.

I took my NCLEX 3 weeks after graduation and I got a nursing job 6 months after finishing school.

Accepted an internship position in April, graduated in May, started my internship in June, took NCLEX in July. Don't wait!

Graduated in May. Took NCLEX and became licensed in July. Started working in September.
Good Luck!

Don't wait too long to take the NCLEX... do a good review but take it while the info is fresh in your head. I graduated mid December and took the NCLEX end of January on a Friday and started my job on Monday. I passed with 75 questions.

Bought an NCLEX book prior to graduating and once I graduated, I took it right away. Get it over with!! Best of luck!!

Graduated December 2012, RN program, took NCLEX January 2013, got my first job February 2013

Graduated March 2012, took NCLEX in May 2012. Landed an internship in October 2012, and got a job offer by Dec. of the same year.

I graduated December 14, 2012
Took NCLEX the first available date which was February 4, 2013
Just got hired yesterday (2/12/13)
Start orientation next week.
I started applying even before graduation because I knew it might take a while to get interviews and hired....and since I applied early, I knew I had to take NCLEX asap. Everything fell into place nicely
Now I'm just scared and nervous to start my career!!!
