1. NJ Endorsement

   norynne328 replied to 908margarita's topic in New Jersey

   Took me 4.5 weeks start to finish back in December. After two weeks, I called the NJ BON twice a week and NICELY introduced myself and said I was checking on the status of my application. I think after the fourth call they just wanted to get rid of m...

2. Ok I give up

   norynne328 replied to live2nursebetter's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm in the same position, from the PA/NJ area. BSN and another bachelors. It's really discouraging. And extremely stressful with loan payments kicking in - yet no job in the field/degree the loans were taken out for. I'm trying to "keep the faith" bu...

   @snm568 - I applied for reciprocity in November/December. The part that took me the longest was waiting for my fingerprint card in the mail, then the fingerprinting place near me was booked for 1.5 weeks. From the time I submitted all my materials, I...

6. Does everyone feel like they bomb nclex after taking it?

   norynne328 replied to ALORN's topic in NCLEX

   I was in the same boat. I SWORE I had failed it. I felt so sick and cried my entire 45 minute drive home down the highway. Then I got home, cried some more, and went to sleep. But the next day I checked my state licensing verification site and I pass...

8. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

   norynne328 replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

   Nothing wrong with that email at all. My school also had strict dress code and if you showed up out of uniform/not in line with uniform policy you got sent home, had to pay a $200 fee, and had to make up that clinical day. Not that hard to just wear ...

12. What Do I NEED to Know Before Clinicals?

    norynne328 replied to Casha9's topic in General Students

    Like someone above said - ask questions! And show initiative. Don't stand around waiting to get "invited" by the nurse, respiratory therapist, etc. to observe a procedure . No harm in asking "Is it okay if I come observe?". The worst they can say is ...
