My name is Alex and I am a new grad. Some of you may know me from Instagram. If you don't know who I am, take a moment to check out my content on my Instagram. I posted my entire nursing school journey on there and have developed a platform where many nursing students and healthcare professionals can come on my page and feel comfortable asking me whatever nursing school related questions they had. Currently, I am expanding my platforms by adding YouTube and Allnurses as other outlets you can reach me at.
A little bit about myself, as stated I am a new grad. I should be taking my NCLEX by the end of January making me an official RN. Additionally, I am a mother, current hairstylist and makeup artist and future ER RN. I will begin my new grad position starting in the emergency room at the end of January. While in nursing school I worked as a nurse apprentice in a pediatric ER and I fell in love with the pace and environment of the emergency room.
I look forward to networking with many of you on this amazing platform that allows us nurses to ask for help, support or any questions we may have. I am always willing to help inspire, support or give any advice to students or anyone in general.
I do have some questions for you all:
1. What type of topics would you all like to read about/engage in?
2. Do you guys like product reviews? If so, which products? (scrubs, stethoscopes, etc.)
3. Please tell me a little bit about yourselves such, as which department you work in and what your future goals are and how long you have been a nurse.
Oh my goodness. My state participates in this. I am totally going to do it. Do you know whether I prepay the 8 dollars now? Or do I wait until after I have taken the exam?
Also, thank you so much for going out of your way to send me that website, I truly appreciate it.

You do it/pay when it's available, so 2 days after you take the test.
If it's not available exaaaactly 48 hours after you tested, don't panic. That happened to me, I kept checking back exactly 48 hours after I finished thinking I'd be able to pay and see the result, but it took another little bit (maybe until lunchtime that day). So keep checking back!!
