Thanks for the feedback. I am focusing my job searches on part time (less then 12 hr shifts) and casual. However, I still struggle with wondering if this will be too much. I am encouraged by some...

I have been a stay at home mom for awhile now. However, I spent the last few years in school to be a nurse. I've finished my degree and am in the process of finding a job as an RN. BUT, having a...

I'm in the state of NC.

That's pretty much my question. I'm toying with this idea, but it makes me a little nervous. I think if I can find an agency that gives decent training and starts New Grads with low level patients,...

Considering a position with PSA....has anyone worked with them here in NC? I'm in the Charlotte area....just wondering about their reputation and how much support they give to new grad RNs.

AWESOME!!! Congratulations! ME TOO! I just checked Pearson Vue's Quick Results and I PASSED! I was quite dubious after leaving the testing center. And I had my doubts about that PVT, but I got...

Interesting. The only stories I can find online are about false negatives. Thanks for responding. Guess we'll see what my official results are soon enough.

Congratulations! You have my admiration for taking this test with English being your second language. I cannot imagine doing that. I think it would be so difficult, since the test is so hard for...
