Don't quit your current job, even if you dislike it. Wait until you have the offer from the other job, and you accept it. Professionally put in your two weeks notice. Don't burn your bridge with them. Let us know how things go.

To be brutally honest, If your money was taken by Pearson Vue then 99.99% of the time you did not pass.

OK cool, Conway and Waccamaw are also good hospitals. Apply online both have PRN jobs listed, best of luck.

Take responsibility for the class that you failed. Just fill out a readmission form to repeat the class. Nursing school is hard for a reason. Think back to what you did wrong, change your study habits. Your nursing classes are your foundation to passing the NCLEX.

I think you handled yourself well provided the situation. It seems as though you are doing maid duties not CNA duties. When the client was getting out of hand you should have just stepped outside and called the agency and explained to them what happened and tell them that the client is out of control and request to leave immediately. Some older people are set in their ways and are grouchy. Never let anyone treat you this way, always call your supervisor first if you feel like things are getting out of hand. I'd rather walk away from a client than to stand there and let an argument escalate back and forth. In the end just be professional about the situation and let the higher ups deal with the BS. Don't let this incident discourage you from becoming a nurse.

Reporting that sounds might petty. It may have been a joke, lighten up ad get your shorts out of a bundle. It's just common courtesy for a male to put the seat down after using the toilet. Besides there are bigger things at work for nurses to be worried about than leaving the toilet seat down.

Take what you can get, learn and then maybe in a year or two move on to what specialty you prefer. It's hard to get a job as a new grad. Med/surg is your foundation, start there first, even though psych is not your thing.

You have to live your life and pursue your goals. You aren't her mother, what she needs is a college adviser to help her figure out what career path is right for her. Focus more on yourself, never "push" anyone into something they don't desire to do. For example, me and my cousin started taking prereqs together, I finished while she quit.I got accepted to a ADN program and then tried encouraging her to go back, but she never did. I graduated a ADN program and a BSN program, and this coming January 2016, I will be pursuing a NP program. Long story to say she hasn't even finished her preqs and gotten into a nursing program and it's been a few years. Just stay friends and support each other decisions because what is best for you may not be the same for others.

First of all don't be so negative on yourself, that was then and this is now. Practice cna skills before entering the program. Don't set yourself up for failure because once you're in the nursing program you will have harder skills to be checked off on. Some skills I had to practice several times before I had it down pack. Always think positive and believe in yourself.

BSN, you will thank yourself later. BSN equals more job opportunities.

Can someone please share any information on Francis Marion University FNP program. I am considering attending Spring 2016. Thanks.

Seems like a great opportunity. I say if you like that hospital accept the job offer and sign the contract. It's hard as a new grad to find a job. Consider yourself lucky because what if you turn down this opportunity and apply elsewhere and don't get hired, you may regret it. Wishing you the best on NCLEX and your nursing career.

Some classmates that I graduated with work at Grand Strand Hospital and what I was told is that new grads start out at $24/hr. I don't know how much differential for nights and weekends. This pay rate was quoted in 2014. BSN nurses are preferred but ADN nurses do get hired. Getting hired as a new grad in the area is difficult, the area hospitals only hire a select few. Each semester the local college in the area graduates about 50 students or so from the ADN program.

I guess your next action would be to call your state BON and find out what is really happening since you said they investigated you. That's probably the only way you are going to find out what claims were made against you, and to see if your nursing license is in jeopardy.

You simply can't work as a RN if you pass the LPN NCLEX. Your scope of practice would be of an LPN not RN. Now that you have you obtained your BSN, you are eligible to sit for the RN NCLEX. Why not study for the RN exam? If you went the extra mile to obtain a BSN I don't see the need to take a step back and take the LPN exam.
