I passed ANCC in September. Buy or rent the Buppert book on NP professional issues. I found it to be helpful. She gives examples of documentation, malpractice, reimbursement, billing, and coding. The book is an easy read. As other posts have mention...

I passed the ANCC in September 2017. The exam is like no other. On one hand, the clinical questions are straightforward. On the other hand, you rarely feel like you answered a non-clinical question correctly. I took Fitzgerald's live course in June. ...

Saying there are many options is not misleading. Many, meaning a considerable number, opportunities do exist. You just need to wait it out. If we all come from different schools, and we say "almost all my classmates have RN positions already," that m...

Thank you for pointing out my run on sentence. If you meet the requirements, you may be selected for a panel interview. During the panel interview, you may be presented with s/s of a disease. You must determine the plan of treatment and identify drug...

I am not speaking for all agencies. In general, you fill out an application online or email a resume. You meet with one of their representatives to discuss your experience, availability and interests. Then, they call you if you meet the requirements ...

I agree with the above posters. Have you applied to part-time RN positions? Part time nursing experience still counts as valuable nursing experience. CNA experience does not count as nursing experience (in my area in anyway). If you had a full time C...

If you can not afford it, don't do it. From experience with managers, they want passion, longevity, nursing knowledge and a personality that works well with existing personalities on the job. I was told that if they want to hire you, they will teach ...

I know exactly what you mean. I hear this from non-nurses all the time. I understand the logic. There are so many advertisements for job opportunities for the registered nurse, hundreds. But they are just not for new graduates. It does depend on the ...
This is the best thread yet. I took the NCLEX last year and passed at 75 questions. I was not ready when I was sitting in the waiting room of the testing center. I was not ready when I sat at the computer. I definitely was not ready when the computer...

I do not think it is standard. I think they want you to know what you're getting yourself into. I've had two interviews during which salary and benefits were discussed. I was offered both of the jobs. This just may be coincidence.

This is an unfortunate situation, and I'm sorry this happened to you. However, you should not expect any feedback from this nurse manager. You get feedback from a mock interview with your friends or career development office. I have found that people...

Hi, There are many options in New York City. I live in NYC and I graduated last year. I was offered a job one month after I passed the NCLEX. I'm not in a new grad program. I say do not limit yourself to opportunities that are aimed at new graduates....
