I know it's hard, but stop doing the PVT trick. It's not the official results so you still have a chance of passing. I know what you're going through at this very moment because I took my test today too, but I refuse to do the PVT trick because I don't trust it.

What was your ranking on the bell curve in Uworld? I’m obsessed with mine and want to make sure that I’m in a good position based off of people that passed.

I heard the same thing happened to another girl. She had to go back but she was told to go back (I want to say she got an email within a week of taking the test but I can’t remember).

The travel opportunity might be a way to get your foot in the door. I've talked to many people who said they were offered a job at the hospital they were traveling to 95% of the time. If you can take a travel job in the area, get offered a job there after (since they know how you work they will want to keep you on FT), and then move, that might be your best chance. Getting a job in SF (and Cali in general) is so hard. Best of luck to you.

Completely agree. This is why when I take my test on July 10th, I don't plan on doing the PVT trick. Our BON came to our nursing school and straight up told us that its not accurate. I think I can wait two days for my results (but really one day because everyone that has taken it so far in my class states that they got their results back the next day from the BON).

NICU. Those babies are light my friend.

I know that Louisiana is becoming a compact state starting July 1st. I take the NCLEX on July 10th, so does that mean my license will automatically be a compact license, or no since I applied for a license in February?

Hi, I was hired in the same hospital in the same unit. Looking forward to meeting you!

Although I don’t live in your area. What worked for me was volunteering in the NICU. I was not able to get a tech job, so I wasn’t an internal applicant, but I did keep in touch with people in the NICU from my volunteering days and landed the job. It’s all about who you know my friend. Also, go to career fairs and talk up the nurse recruiter because that’s the person (at least at my hospital) that scheduled the interviews. Right now you are just a nameless face in a pile of resumes, but if you can somehow meet these people through volunteering or career fairs and they like you, then they will pull your resume from the dusty pile when you tell them that you are interested in NICU and that you’ve already applied.

This file doesn't work for me. The Excel sheet is empty when I open it. Can someone help me?
