1. Licensure by Endorsement

   cwruRN1 replied to cwruRN1's topic in Wisconsin

   Thanks so much for responding! Wow that's way longer than I was anticipating. They finally cashed my check after 3 and a half weeks, and I'm sure it will be another couple before I hear anything else. Hopefully sooner because I have a job interview c...

4. Help..new grad RN unsure what to go for

   cwruRN1 replied to averyl417's topic in New Nurse

   As a fellow new grad, I can verify that what the above posters say is true. More than likely, you will not be able to slide right into a specialty area. I applied to about 60 OB jobs before realizing that it wasn't going to happen. Where I live, new ...

5. Failed my NCLEX

   cwruRN1 replied to Lynllo's topic in NCLEX

   I agree that Kaplan wasn't helpful. I got UWorld one week before my exam, did as many questions as possible, and felt SO much more confident than I did after 2 months of Kaplan. I would get the 1 month subscription and do 75 questions (with remediati...

6. Feeling discouraged..Taking NCLEX next week.

   cwruRN1 replied to emilyrenae95's topic in NCLEX

   I also did the Kaplan Live Review, and was told by my instructor (on the down low) that if I was getting 50% or higher on the QBank and Trainer tests, I was doing just fine. I averaged between 60-70% per test and passed in 75 questions. I have a frie...

7. Passed the NCLEX... Awaiting Letter from BON

   cwruRN1 replied to cwruRN1's topic in Illinois

   Yep, I'll be in Chicago working at Advocate Illinois Masonic! It is most definitely a tough market - I heard through the grape vine that many Chicago hospitals have a hiring freeze for new grads. I wanted an OB job BADLY, but came to the realization ...

8. When will my license be posted online?

   cwruRN1 replied to nurserambler's topic in Illinois

   You should have received a letter from Continental Testing a few days to 2 weeks after you tested informing you of your pass and requesting an additional $50. Once you send this in, it can take 4-8 weeks for the IL BON to post licenses online. There ...

   Thank you for your reply. I received my letter 2 weeks to the day after I found out I passed. I mailed in my check and the waiting game continues.

    cwruRN1 posted a topic in Illinois

    Hey everyone, I took boards on June 28th and verified that I passed June 29th via Continental Testing Services. I am still waiting for the official letter notifying me of my pass and I am getting super impatient. I contacted Continental and they told...
