3. States Hiring New Grads

   Snowman22 replied to restless09's topic in New Nurse

   Texas...the only bad thing, you have to live in Texas. I have talked to a few nurse recruiters and they offer positions in Waco and Lubbock. I'm sure there are many other states that are hiring as well. I suggest that you speak with a nurse recruiter...

4. Does becoming a male nurse mean that you have to change your friends also?

   Snowman22 replied to hyalophora09's topic in Men

   I sense you had a rough day/night on your unit. Maybe you should reread my post because I have no clue what you are talking about!?! How did I set myself above a nurse with more experience like yourself? You must be pretty lonely and desperate for at...

5. Does becoming a male nurse mean that you have to change your friends also?

   Snowman22 replied to hyalophora09's topic in Men

   Are you joking? They feel you've gone soft? What a stereotype! Being an RN, male or female, on a hospital floor is a tough job that requires a lot of patience, energy, tact and skill. You are the liaison between the patient and everyone else involved...

6. What are some negative things about being a Male nurse?

   Snowman22 replied to bengalsfan's topic in Men

   One negative and sexist thing I get is the patient assumes you are a doctor and then you have to explain to them that you are a nurse. Also, many of the older patients want a female to take care of any issue concerning their perineal area, especially...

7. Hiring Freeze and New Grad

   Snowman22 replied to natrgrrl's topic in General Nursing

   Jobs are plentiful all over the country...but not for new grad RN's. Once you have a year of experience the doors are pretty wide open. I posted my resume on Monster an I received numerous emails and phone calls every day. Too bad they didn't read my...

8. Help with Oral Interview/Exam at a Dept. of Mental health - Coalinga, Ca

   Snowman22 replied to Pinoise2's topic in California

   Hello Pinoise2, I was searching this forum for the exact same question you were asking back in November. I have an interview for the same position at the same hospital and I too am a recently licensed new grad RN. How did the interview go? Are ...

9. God is so Good

   Snowman22 replied to joyweib's topic in NCLEX

   Congrats. Looks like I need to pray to St. Jude. I took my test last Tuesday and have not been issued a license. I am guessing I failed so I feel like it's a lost cause. I have given up hope and plan on studying MORE. Ugh, Maybe I'll use Suzanne's pl...

10. Did anyone here take the NCLEX in CA on Tues (14th)?

    Snowman22 replied to Snowman22's topic in NCLEX

    No. Looks like we both need to brush up and try again. Pretty much everyone I know found out in 3 days but you never know, maybe our names will turn up this week. I've worried and stressed enough and it's time to move on. I've accepted that I failed...

11. Did anyone here take the NCLEX in CA on Tues (14th)?

    Snowman22 replied to Snowman22's topic in NCLEX

    Suzanne, you are right. I am sorry for creating a similar thread. Although accusing me of spamming is quite harsh. Maybe I should have posted my second thread 1st. This thread is asking who took the NCLEX on Tues in Cali. My other asked, who took the...

12. Did anyone here take the NCLEX in CA on Tues (14th)?

    Snowman22 replied to Snowman22's topic in NCLEX

    Congrats to you! And Thank you for responding...That's what I thought. Did you take it in the AM or PM? I don't know if that makes a difference but I'm looking for every excuse to have a little hope. And does anyone know if the CA BRN verification p...

13. Did anyone here take the NCLEX in CA on Tues (14th)?

    Snowman22 replied to Snowman22's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you! As I stated, not just a few but my entire class who took the NCLEX got their results in 3 days from the BRN verification website. I do have a SSN, I was born and raised in America. I know that snail mail results can take up to 3 weeks but...

14. Did anyone here take the NCLEX in CA on Tues (14th)?

    Snowman22 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I am just wondering if anyone on here took the NCLEX in California this past Tues. (Oct 14th.). If so....have your results been posted on the BRN website? All of my fellow classmates who have taken it already have said that if I took it on Tuesday I ...

15. Kaplan grades depressing

    Snowman22 replied to BettyBoo706's topic in NCLEX

    If you're consistently in the 60s then you are absolutely fine. Everyone I know who took Kaplan was getting low 60s passed. It's tough to be consistently higher than 60. I was told that if your Kaplan average was 60 or higher than you are ready for t...
