  2. Passed Nclex rn in August, still no job

    I passed NCLEX in August & applied to many jobs online with no results. With an ADN & no healthcare experience, I really had to stand out from all the others. In September, I finally started calling places & asking to speak directly to th...
  3. Board of Nursing says License is Pending

    I found out I passed via BON when my status had changed from pending to an actual RN number. Most of my friends who took the test on a Friday didn't see this change until late Monday or Tuesday, unless they paid for the quick results. But if you got ...

  8. This is getting SO frustrating!!

    Since you are looking nationwide, have you looked at University Hospital in Cincinnati? It's a large teaching hospital that is affiliated with U of Cincinnati (which offers a CRNA program). I just graduated w/ an ADN & one of my classmates was hi...
  9. Like most new grads, I have struggled to simply get interviews. 2 wks ago, I finally had 2 interviews on the same day, at a dialysis outpatient clinic and on a busy hospital Neuro floor. I felt both interviews went well but I was told by both places ...
  10. Good idea to keep job in hospital while in RN school?

    Yes, some hospital experience is a definite plus! I graduated this summer & have my RN but am struggling to find a job. I chose not to work during my ADN program because I wanted to concentrate on school, & I had a young family to raise as we...
