   They said it’s fine! Thanks everyone...I guess they see this pretty frequently ?

2. Can a hospital rescind their offer?

   ab197 replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

   I am licensed in another state and am just waiting for my transfer license to be processed. They’re so backed up that they’re not able to get to my application for a few weeks. Do you think they’ll really retract it if I’m now with the union? I woul...

3. Can a hospital rescind their offer?

   ab197 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I accepted a job offer with a union hospital. I signed all the paper work, background check, on boarding, and everything else pre employment. I have been waiting for my license in that state for weeks and was told it’s going to be a few weeks more....

4. New(ish) Nurse Resume

   ab197 replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

   Another quick question - Can I reuse recommendation letters from professors in my applications? Just because I haven't told anybody at my current place of work that I plan on leaving.

5. New(ish) Nurse Resume

   ab197 replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

   That's fair. I just wasn't sure because I feel like my resume looks pretty empty without it. But if it isn't appropriate I wouldn't want my application thrown away for some dumb mistake!

6. New(ish) Nurse Resume

   ab197 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been at my first nursing job for ~7 months. I'm looking to eventually move on to an area I'm more interested in. I am trying to fix up my resume now that I have some RN experience but I was wondering if I should keep my clinical experiences ...

7. NSO Insurance

   ab197 replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all SO much for the help! I will be getting the NSO insurance then. Its only $45 for this year and the $100 a year afterward are worth it to me. The hospital told all the new grads that they would not protect us if something were to go wro...

8. ATI NCLEX Predictor Score

   ab197 replied to Nurse2bArielle4life's topic in NCLEX

   I did about 4 weeks of NCLEX prep. I didn't open a single book and did at least 75 questions a day. I used kaplan so I took tests ranging from 75-265. Doing the longer tests really helps build your testing stamina (I can tell you I could barely ge...

9. NSO Insurance

   ab197 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello! I am a new RN and wanted to get insurance just to be 1000% safe. I know a lot of people (the director of my program included) recommended NSO. I get nervous doing things online so I just wanted to make sure NSO.com is legitimate and not a fake...

10. NCLEX July Test Takers

    ab197 replied to HarleyGrandma's topic in NCLEX

    You can't purchase quick results until 48 hours after your examination. Everyone gets that email around 2 hours after their exam :) And don't worry if you can't purchase exactly 48 hours later, mine didn't say I could purchase quick results until 9a...

11. failed Nclex

    ab197 replied to amnurse18's topic in NCLEX

    Before taking an exam for licensing in another state also be sure to look up what licensing requirements are in each state. For example, NY requires your nursing education in addition to a child abuse identification and infection control class. You...

12. NCLEX July 2018

    ab197 replied to UKRNBSN's topic in NCLEX

    Absolutely! Nobody told me I could do that until I found out myself. It's better to just do things yourself because nobody will work as hard for you! Definitely follow up--and once they know your name things tend to move faster :) Also make sure to...

13. NCLEX July Test Takers

    ab197 replied to HarleyGrandma's topic in NCLEX

    I completed all the QT (1-3 are non-passing, so don't go off of these scores). QT 4 - 65 QT 5 - 66 QT 6 - 68 QT 7 - 66 Readiness test - 70 I also completed 17 75 question QBanks. My scores averaged mid to high 60s, and low 70s. I recommend making...

14. NCLEX July 2018

    ab197 replied to UKRNBSN's topic in NCLEX

    Contact your school and see if there is an alternate way to send your transcript by yourself via email. I did this and there is a third party my school used to send official transcripts. I put in the BON's email after calling for an update on my AT...

15. NCLEX 75 q's how I DID it..and what do others think is the best way to pass?

    ab197 replied to MR.Jake RN's topic in NCLEX

    Passed in 75 as well! Used kaplan exclusively and would do it again without a thought. The rationales weren't always the best but it gave difficult questions that made nclex feel super easy. The rationales for the QBanks were pretty detailed in my ...
