Wholeheartedly agree. Became an LPN @age 39. At age 56, became an RN and was hired and am currently working @Cleveland Clinic Foundation. You can accomplish whatever you commit to.
I was at the stadium @0830am on 3-28-12 (1st day) & left after 6pm. Many people walked in vs. preregistering and this delayed the interview wait times - along with a glitch in the messaging process. During this time, plenty of food and beverages ...

I know this an older post, starting my first nursing job in a CDU in 2 weeks. Am very grateful for the opportunity & landing a hospital position. Will be working 7pm-7am shift. Wish I could say not I'm a bit nervous about the challenges and being...
Thank you! Just today, a nursing friend showed me the full page ad that was published in Plain Dealer. It provided website & phone number to register, even offering to validate parking. I am starting a "new" RN job this week on subacute unit of f...

Took NCLEX @8am this morning-test stopped @75 questions--as I was taking test, some of the questions became too easy & I was expecting the worst. Walked out of there like someone had kicked me in stomach. Now 5 hrs later, the Pearson Vue "trick" ...
Just took NCLEX this am (8 am appt) & probably slept about 4 hours last night. Very discouraged as test cut off @75 questions and since the questions were getting easier, I felt discouraged early on. Don't even feel it's necessary to look for "po...
