Hi all! I am a licensed RN in Illinois and am hoping to relocate to WI very soon. I just submitted my WI "licensure by endorsement" application and all materials this past week. To those who have gone through the endorsement process recently, I am ju...

Thanks so much for responding! Wow that's way longer than I was anticipating. They finally cashed my check after 3 and a half weeks, and I'm sure it will be another couple before I hear anything else. Hopefully sooner because I have a job interview c...

Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, which unit offered you the position?

Hi guys! I will be graduating in May and just completed my application for Masonic's Summer 2017 residency cohort. I am hoping that others who have gone through the process can shed some light on the timeline and interview process. Fellow applicants,...

As a fellow new grad, I can verify that what the above posters say is true. More than likely, you will not be able to slide right into a specialty area. I applied to about 60 OB jobs before realizing that it wasn't going to happen. Where I live, new ...

I agree that Kaplan wasn't helpful. I got UWorld one week before my exam, did as many questions as possible, and felt SO much more confident than I did after 2 months of Kaplan. I would get the 1 month subscription and do 75 questions (with remediati...

I also did the Kaplan Live Review, and was told by my instructor (on the down low) that if I was getting 50% or higher on the QBank and Trainer tests, I was doing just fine. I averaged between 60-70% per test and passed in 75 questions. I have a frie...

Hey everyone, I took boards on June 28th and verified that I passed June 29th via Continental Testing Services. I am still waiting for the official letter notifying me of my pass and I am getting super impatient. I contacted Continental and they told...

Yep, I'll be in Chicago working at Advocate Illinois Masonic! It is most definitely a tough market - I heard through the grape vine that many Chicago hospitals have a hiring freeze for new grads. I wanted an OB job BADLY, but came to the realization ...

You should have received a letter from Continental Testing a few days to 2 weeks after you tested informing you of your pass and requesting an additional $50. Once you send this in, it can take 4-8 weeks for the IL BON to post licenses online. There ...

Thank you for your reply. I received my letter 2 weeks to the day after I found out I passed. I mailed in my check and the waiting game continues.

Yes, I'll be starting in September! I can't wait. :)

I was contacted via phone this afternoon!

At the interview day, we were told that ED and ICU are not hiring. They said that a single NICU spot was available but interviews have already taken place.

Just accepted a position with the CRU! So excited!

Hi guys! Just found out that I was selected for an interview this coming Wednesday! Will anyone else be there?
