What did you end up thinking with the BCEN practice TCRN exam vs the actual one? I just took the practice exam and also, really bombed it ?.

Hi! Did you end up doing this program? I’m curious to hear your experience if you did!

Not sure if you’re still looking but I graduated with my associates in December 2019 in Pittsburgh and struggled to find a job in South Jersey and Philly. I ended staying in Pittsburgh to do my BSN and get some job experience. I got a few interviews with Einstein and Jefferson. Apply for a NJ license and get one if you want to look for NJ jobs. It seems like NJ will simply turn you down if you don’t yet have an active license.

Did the fingerprint info come by email or snail mail? Thanks!

There are 8 core nursing classes everyone has to take. You may need a few more depending on what general education classes you still need.

I just started my first class. Luckily I have a friend who also had the same start date so we are trying to navigate this together. I do agree with the OP that you are kind of on your own. I felt so overwhelmed the moment I opened up the first assignment and it seemed like the directions of what they wanted you to complete were endless. With that said, at least for this first class, they have sample papers for each of the assessments so you know exactly what the instructor is looking for. I am not the biggest fan of writing papers, but I feel comfortable with writing. For me the most time consuming part is actually gathering the research articles and finding ones that are both relevant but also easy to read! I am still in the process of completing the first class so I don’t have too much to offer you yet, but I am pretty sure I can complete the 8 nursing courses quickly.

That's tough! I got accepted into an online BSN program. I'm going to try and get it done quickly to then try applying again. Where are you doing your BSN through? Hopefully once you have that you'll be in a much better position!

I've not had much luck either, though I am a new grad, no BSN yet, and have not yet gone through the process of relocating because I do not want to move and not be able to find a job. I've been applying to a bunch of different places in South Jersey and nothing!

I'm trying to catch up on the previous comments, but which start date had you applied for? I applied for July (I don't remember when I put in the app) - I put down ED or Med/Surg. Just a week ago, I got the invite to submit references and my video interviews for Med/Surg and Float Pool. I haven't heard from the recruiter since then and I remember at the end of my video interviews there was the video of the recruiter saying interviews were going to happen at the end of March, which is in a few days and now I am getting nervous.

Once you create your Castle Branch account, you will find the list of specific immunizations.

Received my Allegheny campus packet today.

Got the letter today! Hope everyone else gets theirs soon.

Another CCAC letter on its way today...I think this one is the one we've all been waiting for!

Yes, very disappointing that mine was also the job fair flyer..

Got an email from USPS informed delivery that a CCAC letter is on its way to my mailbox. This just might be the letter...
