   rchamp59 replied to dec2008houRNgrad's topic in General Nursing

   I just spoke with a HR person on the phone at a hospital in CA. It seems that we will have better luck finding a job when the new RN grad programs start in the fall. Right now there is nothing out there except for RNs with experience. So keep up t...

   rchamp59 replied to IamRN08's topic in NCLEX

   I only had 83 questions and I am freaking out, just the same as you are. So that tells me that there is just as likely a chance that we both passed as failed, so good luck to both of us! I would actually feel much better if I did have 200 questions...

    rchamp59 replied to smile123's topic in NP

    Hi Smile123, I have been going through the same decision myself, and have been including UCSF in the discussions going around my head. Here are my thoughts so far: Hopkins gives a BSN along the way, the other programs do not. If you look at a lot o...

    rchamp59 replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate

    I also used the Princeton Review and found it very helpful. The book comes with a CD Rom of practice tests, which you can take over and over. It is a good idea to practice on a computer, because it changes the whole equation if you only practice on...
