  3. Return to Nursing in NoVa

    I will be moving to the Fairfax area next month and was hoping someone could answer a few questions for me. Are they plenty of jobs there or are nurses being cut back too? Where are the best hospitals or clinics to apply? I have been out of nursing f...
  4. NCLEX Predictors etc

    I did pass!!! I should have announced earlier, but I wanted take a break from thinking about it I guess. So, in my case, the Kaplan predictors were accurate. I never took the ATI predictors.
  5. NCLEX Predictors etc

    Well...I finally wrote the NCLEX. I got in the 70's with 2 Kaplan exams. I was told that if I got into the 60's, I would probably do fine on the NCLEX. Well, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have no idea how I did. Not many of the qu...

    I've been searching the board website...found out that the test can be retaken in 45 days. I cannot find out whether there is a limit on the times that it can be taken and whether refresher courses are required if the test is failed after a certain n...
  11. Where do I start?!!!

    Did you have to take any additional courses after the board evaluated your schooling Shantas? How long was it after graduating when you took the exam? I'm really concerned about the length of time since college and since leaving work!!!!! I feel like...
  12. Where do I start?!!!

    I think I have a pretty unique situation here... I am a Canadian-educated nurse who came to the states at a time (1995) when Texas did not require us to take the NCLEX, but instead just looked at our Canadian Board exam (CNATS). I had my first child ...
