1. job search is frustrating

   lpag789 replied to RNbknyc's topic in New Nurse

   Have you had someone take a look at your resume? Sometimes it can be something as easy to fix as wording for past experience in whatever other careers you've had. It's also all about volume. Get your resume out there, apply for everything. And try to...

   The market right now is incredible for new grads. Everyone I graduated with got into their desired specialties with zero issues. People are even able to swap jobs a few months in with no problems.

7. Drexel ACE vs. Jefferson FACT - ABSN Program

   lpag789 replied to boomina's topic in School Programs

   As far as I know, Drexel stopped using the HESI years ago and now uses ATI for their exit exam. I really liked Drexel overall. Definitely some unorganization but I think that's common in nursing school, especially post Covid where things are constant...

   Congratulations! They start a new grad cohort each month, so they'll just start you with whichever cohort is slated for the September start date. So I wouldn't stress!

9. How long after graduation did you test in CA?

   lpag789 replied to Deval002's topic in NCLEX

   It depends on how long it takes for your school to submit your documents. Once they've done that, you'll get an ATT number which you need to then schedule your NCLEX. You can schedule your exam for months out if you want. My school took about three w...

    Have you looked into Valencia? Not sure how competitive they are or not, but they have a lot of campuses all with different cohorts.

    lpag789 replied to Star1derful's topic in New Nurse

    I'm starting in January in another unit! I've moved from other big cities and honestly, I think the JHH pay is super low for the area (at least if you don't have a car and need to be somewhat close to the hospital for buses, etc). I was offered almos...

15. New Nurse I Don't Know Anything

    lpag789 replied to Monique Barber's topic in New Nurse

    I'm sorry about your less than optimal school experience. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself about clinical skills, most places hiring new nurses know that situation with Covid. Not to mention, they always say you actually learn how to be a nurse on ...
