   BelleFleurRN replied to mttzakr87's topic in Career Support

   Taking tests is a skill and nursing exams are a little different because they are preparing you for the types of questions seen on the NCLEX. A good way to get better as with anything else is to practice. It may seem a little early, but I highly sug...

2. What should I have done differently?

   BelleFleurRN replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

   I am also a new grad and had to sign a contract for my position. My contract is two years. It is really expensive to train us newbies. They have to pay two nurses to do the job of one during the entire orientation period as well as pay us to go to m...

6. Student nurse seeking support

   BelleFleurRN replied to Nursing_rules's topic in General Nursing

7. Relocation Info

   BelleFleurRN replied to Revvy1337's topic in General Nursing

   I waited until I found a job first. I do not have my license from a compact state. I felt it was too expensive and time intensive to get everything transferred without having a concrete job offer. I think it's a personality thing. :) Good luck with y...

8. A moment of your time, please, if you feel so inclined to give me you opinion

   BelleFleurRN replied to noyesno's topic in Job Hunt

   I recently had to take one of those. I had no problem with it because I did end up getting the job. I am a positive glass half full kind of person, a team player, and someone who likes to get involved and give back to the community/organization I wor...
