Hi,

My name is Heidi. I graduated with an ADN in May, and took the NCLEX June 27, passed with 75 questions. I started working in Med/Surg in St. Paul, MN in June, but it's not for me. I was offered a job in NICU at a hospital in Minneapolis, and I will start there October 3! I am so excited, NICU is what I really want to do, I have firsthand experience with it, my son lived and died in a NICU, and I did a preceptorship in one last spring.

Howdy all! My name is Melissa, I graduated this past May, passed boards with the maximum number in July, and my first job was on the burn unit, which I no longer work on after 3 months. Currently I am confused as to where to work after leaving the burn unit. Any suggestions of areas that people are enjoying?

Hey Melissa,
I also graduated in May and have been working in the OR. I did work there before, as an LVN, and am loving it as an RN too. Some days seem crazy and I wonder if I'll ever be fast enough or be able to remember everything, but other days are just so much fun! I love that we work with one patient at a time - your time with them is short, but you have the opportunity to make a big impact in that time. I can't imagine working anywhere else. Good luck to you!
Christine

Hello everyone! My name is Kristen. I graduated in May with my ADN. Sat for boards in June. Failed it with the maximum number of questions, then sat again in August and passed. I have been working in the ER of the second busiest ER in Dallas-Fort Worth area. I've just gotten out of a 12 week internship, and am on my own! What an amazing feeling!

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I just graduated in May 2005 from a local Community College, with an ASN-RN. I am training at a 360-bed facility on the isolation floor (we do regular med-surg also, but the rooms are private). I have 2 weeks left of orientation, and I am doing fine and are up to 4 patients. Have even gotten over fear of calling Docs and fear of taping reports. Congratulations to all other new grads, WE DID IT!!!!:hatparty:

Hi everyone. I'm Breanne. I literally just had my first clinical this past week. Although I'm a junior at OSU I'm a first year nursing student (in a three year program). I'm also pre-physical therapy and minoring in disability studies.
