   Ellis02136 replied to Ellis02136's topic in Career Support

   Yes I have a start date and pay. She's already given me my hours but all that is not on a letter to me. Maybe Rehabs do things like that? She said I'll fill all paperwork day of orientation. I'm not even sure they have a full staff HR dept. I think t...

2. Verbal job offer but no formal letter...

   Ellis02136 replied to Ellis02136's topic in Career Support

   I will call and ask for either a letter or email before I tell my current employer I'm leaving. I don't think it's asking much but it was like I was asking because I did not believe I got the job. The assured me I got the position but I just don't do...

4. Verbal job offer but no formal letter...

   Ellis02136 replied to Ellis02136's topic in Career Support

   Wow I'm surprised this would be ok not to get an offer letter. How can you be sure that the job is guaranteed? What if I give notice at my current place and something happens at the LTC? I'd be out if a job too embarrassed to go back to my old job wh...

   Ellis02136 replied to Always Indecisive's topic in Career Support

   If you get an offer from Children's then just politely call the other place and explain you got a job in an area that you prefer. They should understand. Think about it this way... You start the other job and hate it and leave after 3 months that wil...

   I'm really torn on this because I'm excited to have been offered a job on the spot but when asked for a offer letter I was told no and not to worry I have the job and will start orientation in a couple of weeks. The issue is I have a current job I ha...

   Ellis02136 replied to jasonl82's topic in Massachusetts

   Bunkerhill Community college offers most of their classes online. I believe Quincy college offers a few classes too. Only thing is that I assume labs will have to be done in person.

8. NCLEX in 3 weeks.. Best way to prepare??

   Ellis02136 replied to jwils's topic in NCLEX

   I took Nclex twice and failed the first time using ATI. I just took it the second time and did Kaplan and passed. Kaplan is an excellent program and the questions are so close to what you see on the Nclex. I also used the La Charity PDA book which wa...

   Ellis02136 replied to allyballybooo's topic in NCLEX

   I would not worry to much about Phatm, look them over and know suffix but honestly you will likely not see one you've studied. I had 4 math which I made sure I got right and the other meds I had no clue what they were. Passed second time with 130 que...

    I'm sorry to hear you did not pass but don't give up. Kaplan is excellent but knowing your content is key as well. Congrats on your wedding. Just relax and get back into study mode and you will pass next time.

    Hi everyone! I've been lurking on this site for years and I have to say I love the info I get from here. First a little bit about me... I graduated in May from a ADN program and I was so relieved and basically just chilled for the summer. Biggest mis...
