   I passed my boards a couple of months ago. The NCLEX is the toughest test I have taken my entire life.I suggest the Kaplan Review course... I personally could not afford it, so I had about 6-8 review books instead. Good luck!

    You may also consider looking for state positions. The pay is less, but a job is a job, especially in these tough times.
