1. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

   Christina1979 replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

   Don't count yourself out yet, I felt the exact same way after taking it Tuesday. I still have no clue how I passed. I know that it feels impossible, but there is still a good chance you passed. Just try to relax and do something to take your mind off...

   Thanks for the support! :loveya: I have been driving myself (and my husband) crazy all evening. Think I'm going to waste some time playing around on Farmtown tonight and am planning to sleep in and get ready for a yard sale tomorrow. Hopefully the m...

5. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

   Christina1979 replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX

   I feel horrible! Took NCLEX today... 75 questions, not one math, at least 20 SATA, only was 100% sure on maybe 2 questions and had no clue on the others, not even educated guesses on most. I'm sure I failed. If I passed I REALLY don't know how. They...

8. Recession

   Christina1979 replied to motivated2nurse's topic in New Nurse

   I'm sorry to say that I've run into the same problem that you're having. In my area there are no jobs for RN's in hospitals even if you are an experienced RN. Have you considered applying at a LTC facility? I know that it may not have been your drea...

9. Northwest Indiana hospitals hiring new grads?

   Christina1979 replied to Ihoplover's topic in Indiana

   I was offered the position at the LTC facility today and have decided to take it - it's on the acute rehab unit. It's not exactly what I pictured myself doing after graduation but the majority of the people I graduated with haven't even had intervie...

10. Northwest Indiana hospitals hiring new grads?

    Christina1979 replied to Ihoplover's topic in Indiana

    Thank you very much for the information however I live in Elkhart - near South Bend and although I've considered searching for work in that area because of the travel involved it wouldn't work with my family. I had a promising interview at a LTC faci...

11. How long for ATT to come? How long to study?

    Christina1979 replied to Boston-RN's topic in NCLEX

    I graduated May 2nd and sent in all of my paperwork to the State (Indiana) last Wednesday, I'm waiting for my ATT and can't wait to schedule my NCLEX. I did HESI last week and did very well on that. I've been doing 50 or so questions a day from Kapla...

12. Northwest Indiana hospitals hiring new grads?

    Christina1979 replied to Ihoplover's topic in Indiana

    I too am finding the same problem... no jobs for new grads. Indiana does not recognize the title of "Graduate Nurse" so pretty much in Indiana you have your license or you are nothing. I have found that the best place to start is calling the nurse re...

13. What regions have the best nursing job opportunities since the economic recession?

    Christina1979 replied to shewalke's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Elkhart, IN and can tell you that there are very very few opportunities available here. Hospitals are actually laying RN's off and forcing some to take pay cuts in order to keep their jobs. I am a recent graduate and of the 32 that graduate...

14. Relocating to Indiana

    Christina1979 replied to TammyRN37's topic in Indiana

    I know that you are not looking to relocate to this area but just FYI I live in the South Bend area and can tell you that there are no opportunities in this area, experience or not. I've been to both Columbus and Greenwood and they are both very nice...
