Nursing student: Job offer starting same day as required NCLEX review

Published

I am a nursing student who will graduate in January 2016. I have been offered a job at a major hospital and it is my dream job. It is an internship for new grads and this opportunity will never be available to me again

problem: after graduation we have to go back for NCLEX review and Hesi exam for 4 days. This is not part of my grade. I have taken practice Hesi at school and scored highest in my class. Starting the same day I would start my new dream job. So far the school is not budging...saying if I don't go I won't be able to take my NCLEX.

i am beside myself that I may not be able to take this job. They are hiring a group of grad nurses to all start at the same time

advice please

I havent asked any more questions. Its all figured out. Here is the deal...if someone doesnt have an answer or suggestion then just leave the post alone. As far as ppl telling me that i have to meet requirements or i wont be cleared to take boards...that is obvious and assinine. Also i was being told that when i get my RN after passing boards...that too is obvious. If you are hired for a job before you take boards your title is GN-graduate nuse. After you pass boards you are an RN. I dont know why anyone is arguing that fact. Not saying it was you. Im done and i did get a few good suggestions...for the most part ppl were saying you have to do your requirements or you will have wasted nsg school cause you didnt take boards. Never had any intention of that. Its all good. I talked to recruiter and dean and they are working it out but it wasnt simple by any means. I would delete all this nonsense if i could

I hope your attitude isn't as bad at work as it is on here :/ *asinine

Asinine, not assinine. You're welcome.

Funny that you corrected someone on their use of your/you're yet this is full of errors. You've been given some good advice. Grow up and accept the advice that's been given to you.

I like to emphasize the ass part cause that is what I would be if I threw away nursing school by not taking boards.

Not completely sure of the difference between our two states, but here in MO you are considered a graduate nurse for your first year of employment. Might just be how our hospitals run it, but that's your title for one year post graduation from nursing school.

WHY do such pertinent details come out AFTER the initial post and a few comments. You DON'T have a job. Better focus on finishing your requirements from school so you can GET a job. And brush up on your honesty/full disclosure skills.

I didn't actually interview yet but am pretty sure I will be offered the job. I don't know how to handle this

That's okay you go further back and look up some of their old posts in 2007 they claimed to be a RN that hadn't practiced for a few years. So either they misrepresented themselves as a nurse back then or...

The nclex is a national exam. No one sits for state boards.

so, tell us one more time how you scored the highest on the hesi. I'm not sure we understand that part yet.

obviously I will not waste the last 4 years of by life by not being able to take state boards. That is not a choice ugh
