hi everyone! i'm holli. i took boards on june 13th and passed with 75 questions. i am starting work on july 18th at the only hospital i ever wanted to work for. it is a great pediatric facility! i will be on the (post-op) surgical floor, and we also have all of the endocrine kids. also, they just added an epilepsy monitoring unit, for overnight monitoring and for the brain mapping they are doing. i expressed an interest in that, so they will cross-train me in that unit as well. i can't wait to get started!
I graduated in October, took the NCLEX, and am now a pediatric nurse working in a doctor's office! It's been a great experience so far, and I am learning sooooooooooo much! Hope to get to know all of you better!
Specializes in ED, ICU, MS/MT, PCU, CM, House Sup, Frontline mgr.
hi, i am joining this forum. i am very happy to be here. i started here on the pre-nursing student forum back in 05. i am now a new grad rn!!! my goal is to be a trauma/emergency nurse. for now, i am precepting on two units that are fast paced and have high acute patients to gain the skills and experience i need to transfer once the opportunity presents itself.
My name is Jazmine Carr, and I'm from New Mexico. I graduated in December and started my new job in January. I took my boards on February 2nd and passed after 75 questions. My first day in the MICU was January 25th. I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I'm learning so much every shift! I would eventually like to go into trauma, but I'd also like to experience OR and home health nursing at some point. Nice to meet you all!
Hi, I'm a pediatric homecare nurse....graduated in December 08 and passed my NCLEX in 75 questions 3 and 1/2 wks later! Started my job on February 4th and I work with trach/vented kids and babies. I was a superstar in school but the real world is a heck of a lot tougher! AHH! Someone save me! :)
Hi, I'm Kristen. I graduated in December. I also had a baby in December (3 days before our pinning ceremony!) so I wasn't in a big hurry to take NCLEX and start working. I finally took NCLEX at the end of February and happily I passed! I just accpeted a part time RN position at the LTC facility where I have been working as a CNA for the past two and a half years. It's not my dream job, but I think it will be a good starting point. I start my nursing orientation April 6. Until then I will continue working as a CNA.
My name is Suzanne, I'm 38, with 4 kids (widowed). Graduated in December, took Exam in January, passed, been licensed RN since 1/23/09 but still NO JOB! Live in NJ.
I'm Denise, actually graduated and passed boards in 1975 worked as a nurse for 3 years and then retired. Going back into nursing after 33 years, have my state license and now just need to finish up the clinical portion of my refresher course.
So although I'm not a new grad, I'm really close to being one. Yes, I'm terrified too.
I am Debra and I am a soon very very soon to be a new Grad. I take my last final next week and I do my management portion and wait for my sitpass to the NCLEX. I am going into CCU or ICU (cardiac specifically) and I am like Denise previously said in her post I have had a security net (in the school) for 2 yrs now I will be on my own and it is kinda of scarey but I know my school taught be good so I know I will be ok but its still a scarey thought :)
Hi all! I'm Lindsay and graduated in December, passed the NCLEX in February, then moved to Hawaii! I've applied to a million jobs and so far, no luck.... but soon I hope! It's nice to join this online nursing community!
I'm Kimberly - I graduated in December of 2007, passed NCLEX with 75 questions in January of 2008, and recently finished up my first year of both being licensed and having my first RN position. I am living proof there is a light at the end of the first year tunnel. . .
