I am a permanent resident already when I took the NCLEX. Now that I am licensed, I am quite nervous because I never really had any experiences working as a nurse. I am not even sure how I should prepare my resume when I had minimum to say about nursing experience...While my experiences as an MD (GP lang po) may wow any layperson and make them think that I should be hired right away, I can't truly say that I feel qualified/prepared enough for the positions that I see are available around my area. Sometimes I can't help but think that being in PI and passing the NCLEX would open up many wonderful and better opportunities, but I already have a house/home and a wonderful community here (Maine), and I really do not want to relocate. Bottomline, I want to work somewhere near me, but I am not too confident that I would be accepted. If I had known these hospitals around here accepted graduate nurses as they prepare for ATT (with the requirement to pass the NCLEX within 90 days), I would have gone through that even as I reviewed for NCLEX. Now I have a license, but I do not have any experience! Any advice? words of encouragement?
I fee horrible...
