I've walked in and dropped off my resume and cover letter to the assistant nurse manager twice. At the first hospital I did it at she told me they weren't hiring at that time but would be two months...

I think you'll be good! I usually never get really tired at work overnight even if I wasn't able to get a nap in that day. Plus you'll have your nerves and adrenaline to keep you awake. Goodluck! I'm...

I've personally walked onto different units with no prior warning twice. The first time I did it I felt so awkward and I was nervous but the ANM was very welcoming and nice. She told me that they had...

I think it's human nature to judge. But part of being a nurse is how you deal with that judgment. As long as you treat everyone the same regardless of their name or any other attributes they may have...

I asked about patient ratios, how long orientation was, if there was any type of loan repayment, if the preceptor chose to be a preceptor or if they just got assigned to it, how scheduling was done...

I used the Saunders 4th edition as well but the questions that they have in the back of each chapter are way easier and I felt that they were nothing like the questions they had on NCLEX. Make...

What causes you to dread going to work in the ICU? If those things aren't present when you do L&D why worry about the feeling of dread. Also, there had to have been reasons why you originally wanted...

When I stopped by the hospital to say hello, I gave them my cover letter, resume and a letter of recommendation that I had. Sure, they might not look at your cover letter but I think it's better to...

Congrats! I second the statement of treating yourself to a nice alcoholic beverage, or two, or three. You deserved it!

This is just a wild guess but it's what I would think. I would believe the pathophysiology is the same for anything that would cause a fever. A fever is your body's way of trying to kill whatever is...

Is it possible to go to the floor and personally hand somebody your resume? I've heard some people say to do that and others not to but what could it hurt? From the way it sounds you haven't heard...

Because you are a new graduate and have no experience I would recommend trying to showcase what you've learned in school to the best of your abilities. Instead of having every clinical site listed...

On my resume I had the usual sections such as objective, education, work experience, (I've never worked in the medical field before) certifications (ACLS, BLS, etc) but I also put my last clinical...

I went into the test not really expecting to get all 265 questions. I was hoping that it would stop at 75 and then when I went to 76 my heart sank a little. But it stopped me right after 76 thank...

I personally couldn't tell if the questions were getting harder or not. Whenever I thought I got a question right I would almost hope I got a SATA question next because then I thought for sure I got...

It was what i was expecting and then again it wasn't. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense but it's hard to put in words. Most of the questions I could get down to two answers that were incorrect...

I understand completely. And then to me it made me even more nervous when people kept saying I know you can do it or you'll be just fine. Because then I felt like well if I don't pass will I be...

I didn't take any breaks. I finished in about an hour and 15 mins. I was just so focused on getting done with the test that breaks didn't even cross my mind. If I had been in there longer though I...

I don't mind at all! I had 76 questions.

I used Saunders 5th edition and pretty much read it cover to cover. I also did some questions online from RN 3500 I believe. I found the link on here but I couldn't tell you exactly where. The...

I just took the NCLEX-RN for the first time today. And even though it was a hard test I just wanted to let everyone know reading this that it's something that YOU can pass. I don't know for sure that...
