Hi all,
I am a frustrated new graduate ( yay!) moving from MN to Chicago in about 5 weeks. I really want to get my NCLEX scheduled ASAP! (Taking Kaplan right now).
All my classmates (staying in MN for the most part) received their ATT numbers on Monday of this week. Does IL take especially long to send those out? I've done the registering, paying of fees, etc. On the Pearson Vue website it shows my status as "Eligibility Pending". I've called Pearson Vue candidate services 4 times TODAY and got nowhere. They just re-sent me my registration confirmation email (gee, thanks ). I called the CTS (continental testing service) and got recorded messages with no option to talk to anyone. Has anyone else had experience with this?
I've also had a tough time finding a JOB in Chicago. I've applied for MANY staff RN positions and feel like I get no where (when I say many, I mean no less than 50 positions at several different hospitals). I do the follow-up calls, emails, etc. and get the standard "We will contact you if we want to interview you." I know my resume doesn't have anything stellar on it - but I think it likely resembles that of any other new grad out there. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
