   I'm interviewing at the Santa Monica location for I think an oncology floor tomorrow. I'm not sure if they've officially started interviewing for non-NICU floors, but I just emailed them saying I'll be in the area so I could interview, and they said ...

6. June 2010 Nclex RN study group

   theviv replied to Gold2010's topic in NCLEX

   I highly recommend the Kaplan Strategies book, the Exam Cram book (it includes computer adaptive testing CD), and just LOTS of practice questions. I think I did about 4000 questions in total before taking the test.

11. Took NCLEX RN this morning.

    theviv replied to lilmissjuly17's topic in NCLEX

    AHHH I just finished too, took an hour and 75 questions.. I got a lot of SATA and priority and meds I've never heard of. I felt unsure of everything, and I didn't get a calculation question. That's a bad sign right...? Whimper.

12. New jobs anywhere?

    theviv replied to Macha156's topic in New Nurse

13. GPA

    theviv replied to Lisa1980's topic in New Nurse

    Yeah the GPA minimum for application is pretty common now.. I know NYU had a 3.5 minimum, which was pretty harsh, but you can imagine how many apps they got regardless. It is tough to deal with though because I know there's so much variability betwee...
