   I graduated this program in the 2nd cohort...less than 40 of us! Unfortunately maybe about only 50-60% or so of us have jobs. Over 600 applicants applied for only 40 new jobs. At my new grad orientation, there were only 6 of us from my graduating cla...

   I took the NCLEX-RN in California on Friday the 26th, but I didn't come across this board until Sunday morning. I had spent the last couple of days lying in bed, not wanting to eat or shower (yikes!), because I was soooo certain that I had failed. Li...
