I am in a similar situation, but in homecare peds and infusion visiting nurse. Would you recommend I get my PALS /ACLS, then take a CCRN review course without the med/surg experience?

I applied to Simmons almost 3 weeks ago. I reached out to my counselor for feedback and she said no word yet but have the deposit ready just in case. I am trying, with everything in me, to be patient. This waiting is hard. Love the support from al...

thank you

I have the same concerns. In order to find a job, I am moving to NC in 6 months. I don't know where to start, but I know this is the right move for me and my family.

It has been 5 years since I graduated from nursing school. In that time, I haven't practiced nursing due to various reasons stemming from health problems to financial hardship (who hasn't suffered from this, right)? I have been working in the financi...

I am in the same boat, but I have been away for about 5 years. I have a few questions, if you don't mind. How long was your refresher course? Did you take the course for your own confidence level or do you think you needed it to make yourself more ...

What state are you in? I have been trying to find an refresher course in NY and NJ and no one is getting back to me. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a follow up question for anyone who can help. It has been 5 years since I graduated from nursing school. In that time, I haven't practiced nursing due to various reasons stemming from health problems to financia...

I am interested in moving to Albany NY. Do you know if they are hiring new grads?

Have you tried the "Men in Nursing" forum on this site? I think it may help a bit. Good Luck

@Olivia28 - in New York?

I wear a fanny pack. It's very handy but can get in the way at times when trying to squeeze into tight spots. I love it, though, everything's in one place.

:coollook:Can new potential employers find out the number of times a candidate has taken the NCLEX?

I called the NY BON and the lady said no. You can volunteer the info if you like but employers cannot access it on their own.

The trick works for sure.

I passed!!! This is the best Friday the 13th ever. I can add RN to my title and mean it. Please know prayer works, but faith without works is dead. Continue to study hard and stay in faith.

I LOVE this thread. I am a 35yo retester and I was beginning to give up because I didn't see anyone else like me trying to become and RN. You all are a breath of fresh air. Nursing is my callling and destiny and I am not going to stop until I (wit...

Many on this site have had success with the Saunder's book. I have not. Saunder's is a wonderful companion to nursing school, but I found that is was just too much info to get through for the NCLEX. Also, I think the Saunder's questions are not compa...

Count me in - I'm taking mine on the 15th (for the last time).
