   jh408 replied to positive_nursing's topic in New Nurse

   To explain further, I feel like it would hurt me more, because the hospital did not have a good reputation and the experience in LTAC does not count as hospital experience if I were to apply for a magnet hospital in 2 years. PRN positions also do not...

   That is not an option at the moment. I am hopeful that I will hear back from St. Luke's residency and positions I applied to that said they would consider graduates.

9. NCLEX Text

   jh408 replied to AspiringRN2018's topic in NCLEX

   Hi! Wishing you luck as you study for the NCLEX! I found Saunders, UWorld, and Hurst Review to be helpful when I studied. While Saunders' questions were not as difficult, they have a vast question bank and allow you to study test strategies. When u...

    For my NCLEX prep (I just passed it in a few weeks ago), I used attended a live review from Hurst and used their videos and extra material that comes with it. It is a 3 day review (8am-4pm I think). A little costly but they have a refund guarantee if...
