   What books do you need? I didn't go there but I just graduated and have tons of books that I would happily get to you for much cheaper. I'm in Kittery.

3. Need some New Grad advice:(

   cjward3 replied to nurselisa207's topic in New Nurse

   Have you considered going to the hospital that you worked at for 7 years and working for a year or two? I'm in Maine now and got a job offer within 2 weeks (Internal Medicine). I have 10 years of LPN experience, so maybe that was part of it.

   cjward3 replied to coopsy's topic in Western Governors

   Did your pre-WGU gpa factor into your ability to get into your program? I am starting WGU on 9/1, and, like everyone, hope to be done in the blink of an eye. My next goal is Frontier's WHNP/CNM program. My ADN GPA was a 3.89. Will that still help...

8. Quick results for a friday test?

   cjward3 replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX

   According to PV it's 48 business hours, but I took my test at 2PM on Friday before Memorial Day and my license was posted to my BON (maine) on Saturday morning. So, it might be quicker than expected

10. How I passed NCLEX RN 2015

    cjward3 replied to Jmansfield008's topic in NCLEX

    I winged it. My local testing center had an opening 2 days away and I figured I would give it a shot. I passed with 75 questions in about an hour. No crazy studying. I did NCLEX mastery, Saunders and LaCharity. If you have a good grasp of content the...
