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!
Congrats all--I finally finished the Nursing program now I am waiting for my sitpass--hopefully I will be as lucky as you all have been and only get 75 questions :)
Heyhey, all y'all .... Bobylon, here At the ripe old age of 50 (after 2 layoffs in one year from previous profession) I took advantage of an incredible opportunity last year to attend a LPN program offered through our local hospital - great program, paid for by the hospital (they like to "homegrow" their own nurses.....although, since turnover is low due to the bad economy these days, it sounds like most new students must pay their own way now with no guarantee of a job offer ), with a job offer upon licensure. Well, our graduation was 3/27, I tested on 4/15, had results by 4/17, and license was posted 4/18 ...... my orientation started 4/20, and I orient on my floor starting 4/23 . It's been a thrill ride, and I look forward to every day. Life is GREAT !!! You're never too "old" unless you think you are !!!
I am a new RN, looking for a job as I type! I am married to my high school sweetheart for aolmost 14 years, and the mom of 4 little ones- 3 girls- ages 4, 9, and 12, as well as one little boy- 7. I graduated my ADN program in Michigan May 09- Magna Cum Laude, and have been accepted into the RN/BSN program at U of Michigan, which I start in the Fall. I would eventually like to work in Nursing education, more like Patient education. I really love working with all clients, and I don't know what I want to specialize in yet. I think I need more med/surg first. I have no job experience.
Hi, I'm in Louisiana. Graduated in May 2008(RN BSN). Had a little boy in April 2008. First job in Telemetry:crying2: August 2008. Pure torture, but a great learning experience. Stayed on Telemetry floor 10 month before being offered a position as a psych nurse in a state hospital.:yelclap: I've been working there for 1 month now and i love it. :loveya: I eventually plan to become a psych np/cns after some years of experience.
I am a new RN and I work on a step down unit from CCU and it is hard sometimes but I am getting better every day but the hardest part for me is talking to the Doctors oh man there should be a class jusr for that :)
Hi! I just graduated (May 2009) and passed my NCLEX last Tuesday:clpty: I start my new job at the end of August as a New Grad RN in a large level 3 NICU. I have a 6mo orientation but am still super nervous to start. I've started getting books on neonatal nursing to get a head start. I am really excited though!
