3. What is keeping New Grads/less experienced Nurses from being hired and solutions?

   astarrh1 replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Activism

   I waited to take NCLEX because I had no choice. The day before graduation, my husband got laid off. With 3 kids, his last paycheck had to go to stretch as far as possible. That wouldn't have been possible if we had spent half of it ($320) for my tes...

5. RN vs. BSN

   astarrh1 replied to mmarqua4's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am applying to an online program to get my BSN and MSN. There are so many options now. Many 4 yr Universities now offer an online RN-BSN/MSN program, and many many many are less than 20K. There are several who offer the RN-BSN for around 7-8K. It j...

   astarrh1 replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Activism

   As an older "new grad", I'd like to put in my two cents here. I graduated in June, took boards in December. I followed my instructors' and preceptors' advice, and began putting in applications the month before graduation. Primarily at the hospital sy...

8. Do you think I passed the NCLEX 102 qs

   astarrh1 replied to supermancokitty's topic in NCLEX

   If you got the good pop up, then you passed. I know it's hard to believe that little trick when so much is riding on it, but it hasn't failed anyone that I know of. I took NCLEX in December, 84 questions in 30 minutes. When I got out to the car and m...

9. WGU RN-BSN 2/1/2012 start date, anyone with me?

   astarrh1 replied to labornurse3's topic in Western Governors

   makeitwork how did you do chemistry online with the lab component? I'm curious because I have been avoiding applying for a RN-BSN program because I absolutely hate chemistry and I don't have the time to take classes on my local CC campus two days...

    astarrh1 replied to Jess84's topic in Texas (UTA)

    astarrh1 replied to AOX4RN's topic in Online Learning

    I pulled up the info on Georgia Southern RN-BSN/RN-MSN online program. In their application packet is curriculum checklist. It says on the checklist that Chemistry with lab is "required for this degree". Thought you might want to know.

    Good luck on NCLEX!!! Remember to relax, breathe, and don't second guess yourself!! You're going to do great! After 30 minutes of testing, my NCLEX cut off at 84 questions, and I came out terrified! My license # was posted on the GA BON website yeste...

13. December New Grad GA board application

    astarrh1 replied to MorningLight's topic in Georgia

    Expect it to take anywhere from a week to 6 weeks to get your Authorization to Test letter. Then, depending on where you test, the first available appointment may not be for several weeks. I paid all my fees the 10th of October, went for my fingerpri...
