Applications prior to NCLEX and actual grad..

[sashamay]

Okay so Im going to graduate on June 7th... and likely then wont be able to take my boards till late June or July, based on what I'm being told.

I have started to apply for positions and I was wondering if you guys click the little button on applications that says yes you have graduated or yes you are an RN... I havent been doing so, because well, I'm not yet! When it leaves room for it, and its on my Resume, I always have anticipated graduation such and such date, RN pending July 2010 or something... but yea, I figured I'd ask what those of you who have landed jobs prior to graduating are doing about this little grey area!

Thanks!

I always said that I hadn't yet graduated, but put my anticipated grad date. I must say that it didn't get me anywhere, but even now being licensed isn't getting me anywhere either. Not a single interview, so for me obviously the lack of graduation or license made no difference. I sincerely hope that you have better luck than I have been having.

I click that I have graduated. Then I put the actual date of graduation in the comments.

I graduated May 19 and I am taking the Kaplan NCLEX review June 1-8 I am also practicing about 200 Saunders NCLEX questions a day. Does anyone have any other advice in preparing for the NCLEX. Thank you for your input.
