   akmegs2 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   The trick worked for me...I took the test on the 24th at 8am and tried to re-register on the website at noon the same day and I got the popup. On friday I found out I passed!! I think that the trick has worked for enough people to say that it reall...

2. NCLEX question for nursing graduates

   akmegs2 replied to FutureNurse82's topic in Maryland

   You're welcome! Hurst came to my school and did a 4 day (8hrs each day) review that was actually finished before we even graduated and I think Kaplan is 2 weeks but maybe 4 hrs each day? Those are the only 2 that I know anything about. :)

3. NCLEX question for nursing graduates

   akmegs2 replied to FutureNurse82's topic in Maryland

   I just graduated on May 21st from AACC and I can tell you how it was for me. After grades were finalized, the school mailed our applications to the board of nursing. When I was ready to pay the NCLEX people the $200 it costs to take the test, I did...

4. New Grad RN and Cannot Find employment

   akmegs2 replied to caribbeanbeauty's topic in Maryland

   Hi Lynette, You can get in touch with the recruiters by calling the main hospital number and asking to be transferred to HR or to the nurse recruiter directly if their number is not listed on the website. Hope this helps! Good luck!

5. New Grad RN and Cannot Find employment

   akmegs2 replied to caribbeanbeauty's topic in Maryland

   St Joe's, Maryland General, Holy Cross, Howard County General and Children's National Medical Center are also hiring. I've found that since I don't have medical experience aside from nursing school, applying online is not enough. You have to call t...

6. For Current Anne Arundel CC Nursing Students

   akmegs2 replied to ga2md2brn's topic in Maryland

   Congratulations on getting in! That's the first big hurdle. :) As far as shoes go for the program, they didn't allow us to wear crocs but we were allowed to wear danskos (all white ones). The rule is they have to be all leather and all white, so I...

7. For Current Anne Arundel CC Nursing Students

   akmegs2 replied to ga2md2brn's topic in Maryland

   I just graduated from AACC on May 21st. :) I actually did my first semester of nursing school in another state but I will say that the first semester is the worst because they are teaching you how to think like a nurse. I think this is true of ever...

   Thanks everyone for all the great info on here. Ukstudent, I see that you are in Annapolis...is the commute bad from there to WHC? I am very interested in the hospital but am worried about spending so much time in the car!

9. Is it possible to transfer Nursing Schools?

   akmegs2 replied to coopman712's topic in General Students

   Yes! But it's not easy. I moved from AZ to the east coast after my 1st semester of nursing school. When I found out I had to move, I immediately called the director of nursing at the school I wanted to go to, sent my transcripts, jumped through al...

11. Who's failing block I???

    akmegs2 replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona

    We lost one to the random drug test (talk about a dumb reason to get booted!) and I think there are maybe 1 or 2 who are really struggling, but for the most part my classmates and I are doing alright. I was really stressed about starting school but ...
