CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING NCLEX

I'm having a hard time looking for RN Job for New Grad. sigh.

I took my test on the 20th and passed based on the quick results.

Still waiting for the letter from CTS. How is the job hunt?

+one: I havent started to look for a job,yet. I dont know if I can or do I have to wait to get my license number. In the meantime I'm working on my resume.

ok good luck, search for threads here about resumes they have some good links here. god bless.

Hi there!

You can definitely start looking for jobs now. As long as you know you passed the NCLEX then you can fill out applications and just put "license number pending" to let them know that you only recently passed and therefore it'll take a minute before you receive your number.

Good Luck job hunting!!!

Thanks, NurseThis21! I'm in the process of writing my resume...its been over 10 years since I've been on a job interview and so I let my friend take a look at my old resume and she laughed saying it looked like it was in time warp! lol....
