   jas0419 replied to yadesuyi's topic in New Nurse

   At the hospital I'm at in the D/FW area in Texas, it's $24.75/hr. for the first full year (orientation is only 16 weeks of that, though), $28/hr. the second year, and $32/hr. into the third year. Night shift differentials are $4/hr., and weekend shif...

   To follow up, I had gotten the good pop-up on Thursday, and I passed today according to the quick results.

3. NCLEX on Thursday. How am I doing?

   jas0419 replied to jas0419's topic in NCLEX

   Well, I took my NCLEX yesterday afternoon (my first time taking it) and ended up finishing at 88 questions. I felt prepared going into it (I was also close to the top of my class and did well throughout the program), but the version of the test I had...

4. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

   jas0419 replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX

   I took my NCLEX yesterday at 2:00, checked the PVT around 9:00, and I got the good pop-up; checked it again this morning, and I'm still getting it. I'll still pay for the Quick Results; just hope I'm not the first person that pop-up is wrong for! :)

6. NCLEX on Thursday. How am I doing?

   jas0419 posted a topic in NCLEX

   So I graduated in December from a well known university here in Texas. I currently have a job lined up to start on February 24th, so of course, I have to take my NCLEX before then. It's scheduled this Thursday, and I've been utilizing the Kaplan onli...

7. Somewhat of a job-related predictament

   jas0419 replied to jas0419's topic in General Students

   Yeah, I thought it was weird, but they said that prns are held to a different standard than full-time employees. The only problem with switching is that I'm required to work two-days per four-week schedule, and Saturday is the last day of the schedul...

8. Somewhat of a job-related predictament

   jas0419 posted a topic in General Students

   Okay, so I'm graduating next Saturday from a BSN program here in the D/FW area. We were supposed to have one final yesterday (Saturday) and another final tomorrow. However, we had an ice storm Thursday evening to Friday afternoon, and here, it basica...

9. Out of state new grads

   jas0419 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Texas

   I'm graduating next week from an intense BSN program here in D/FW, and out of our class of 100, there are only around twenty of us (myself included) that have RN jobs ready to go, and I heard it was pretty hard for the previous class to get jobs as w...

    jas0419 replied to m919's topic in Texas

    It has PMs disabled for me, but the public HR number (from the website) is 214-456-3900. Whoever you get there can probably direct you to the recruiter. I'd just tell them that you had submitted an application for the several of the internships, had ...

    jas0419 replied to m919's topic in Texas

    Sorry to hear you apparently didn't get selected, BlueJays2013. Sometimes it's hard to understand what hospitals are looking for. Perhaps the departments that you applied for were very competitive or maybe you submitted too late (or, like you said, m...

12. NCLEX-RN resources

    jas0419 replied to jas0419's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks for the information! Are the Kaplan question trainers on Kaplan's website, or are they on an unrelated site?

13. NCLEX-RN resources

    jas0419 posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hi, all, I'll be graduating from an intense BSN program in a few weeks. I've already received a job offer for an internship that progresses to a full-time job following the completion of an internship; this starts in February. I have to pass the NCLE...

    jas0419 replied to m919's topic in Texas

    Thanks! I wasn't an internal candidate, although I did my pediatrics rotation there last semester (not on that floor, however). I've been a tech at another hospital since May, though, but it was for adults. This is also my second Bachelor's degree (r...

    jas0419 replied to m919's topic in Texas

    Well, I don't know about the rest of the departments. I graduate in December, and I applied for most of the positions the weekend that they were posted. I had a call from the recruiter that following Monday, the first business day back, so this was o...
