1. Let RN license lapse to get out of "Old" new grad rut?

   ev40901 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Nursing

   I can't believe 1.5 years after graduating and still no job. Are you looking everywhere? Lower your standards, if that's what's keeping you unemployed. Don't give up yet. Honestly, if I were you, I'd keep my license current abd consider going back to...

2. About to throw in the towel!!!

   ev40901 replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

   I know how you feel. At my old job we hired 2 new grads when they were only supposed to hire one. One of the new grads was put on my weekend to work when we had just had someone else move from our weekend because there were too many nurses according ...

   ev40901 posted a topic in Cardiac

   Hey everybody! So here's my issue. I have been a rehab nurse for almost 2 years at a large rehab facility but it was time for a change. I have recently accepted and began my new role as a Tele/ICU nurse at a very small community hospital. But I ...

4. Snow Blizzard in Chicago and Indiana

   ev40901 replied to nurseatheart23's topic in NCLEX

   So did you have to go in? I live on one of the main streets in Chicago and they couldn't even get that one cleared! I can't image how the side streets are. I haven't even gone further than a block from my house since Tuesday evening. LOL

5. Registered for Kaplan Classroom Anywhere ..........

   ev40901 replied to notsosupernurse's topic in NCLEX

   I did Kaplan online. It was nice! I liked it so much better than the live classroom setting. Just make sure you're in a quiet place that you can actually concentrate in. Oh, and take notes in a notebook or something.

   ev40901 replied to zips71's topic in NCLEX

   Just a little hope for you: I failed the first time at 78 questions, passed the second time with 75. If there's hope for me, there's hope for anybody! Just study, stay concentrated, and take it day by day. Take your depression time (I took a few mont...

9. NCLEX-RN exam

   ev40901 replied to akujieme's topic in NCLEX

   Kaplan is 100% guaranteed to pass. So if you didn't pass, you should call Kaplan to either get a refund of your money or ask that they schedule you for another round of classes and 3 more months of their online resources. I did the second option and ...

10. How long before you attempt a retake

    ev40901 replied to erjunkie8's topic in NCLEX

    Make sure you've given yourself enough time to grieve over the failing of your last attempt but THEN go full throttle on studying for the exam. Study as if you have never sat for the NCLEX, start from the bottom up, until you feel you are prepared. Y...

    ev40901 replied to misah_rosira's topic in NCLEX

    Haha... I probably saw you today. =] I was there too. Try the PVT (if you don't know what it is, look up the hundreds of posts on this website). I tried it the first time and it worked - took me to the cc page. This time I'm hoping it works too b/c t...

    ev40901 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    I REALLY hope you guys are right! I'm just really fearful that this is a glitch in the system when ATTs become invalid. Please keep your fingers crossed and say some prayers for me because, boy, do I need them!!
