  1. Definitely agree with the above posters. Do not rush something if you are not ready. The worse that can happen is you'll be demoted to CNA- which is not bad at all. But if they offer a nurse...

    So sad because...

    It depends what state you live in. Usually you can retest within 45 days. I've never used Suzanne's plan but I would highly recommend it! :) Best of luck to

    AHHH I just took the RN exam!

    I actually felt just like you when I took it! I felt the NCLEX was more straightforward and Kaplan was just too hard! Wishing you lots of luck on your

    Do I Have the Right NOT to Be Weighed?

    First off I just wanted to say that I think you DO have the right not to be weighed. I also understand how hard an eating disorder can be. I personally don't suffer from it, but my sister who I am...
  5. Depends on the hospital. Maybe you can check with management to see if they have nurse extern/intern positions. Good

    So overwhelmed! I can't do this

    I'm wishing all the best for you. I'm a new grad as well and will be starting my new job soon. Good luck! And keep us
  7. I don't see why not. Though did you have this nurse only once during clinical or throughout the entire semester? It would be kind of hard for her to have for a reference if you only had her once...

    Yay! I finally found a job!

    Thanks! :) I haven't taken a look at the BIDMC site in awhile since I got the job and all. I think there are positions available. That would be awesome if you came to work here also. Looks like a...

    I'm nervous

    You will do great AuntieRN! I myself am starting a new job in about a week and a half and I'm pretty nervous myself. But you're right, I always tell myself I made it in nursing school, and I passed...

    uncertain about if i passed of not..

    The number of questions does not determine pass/fail. The type of questions you got are hard to determine but usually it's a good sign if you have priority questions. There really is no score to the...

    How long is your orientation??

    I was about to say that 2 years seems like an awfully long time for orientation. But I would think after 6-9 months would be enough time. I'm sure you'll be good after that amount of time.

    How long is your orientation??

    Mine will be about 10-12 weeks on a vascular surgical

    Lab values Kaplan vs Saunders?

    Agree with the above posters! The labs on the NCLEX will be way off. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. :) I also used Saunders when I was studying labs. Good

    thank God

    Congratulations!
  17. I'm not familiar with her plan, but I think I saw one post from Suzanne on here, and she said that if you know the material pretty well, it should only take you a few days to complete the tip. However...

    Need advice on interviews...

    Just wanted to update you guys, I got the job! :) Thanks for all your wonderful advice. Much appreciated.
  20. Yeah they do check references. I also had an interview this past Thursday, and after the interview with the nurse manager, she had said that I would be notified this week. The HR lady had to check...

    I'm Never Taking NCLEX Again Because......

    I used Saunders to review content and Kaplan for critical thinking type questions. I think Paleobug used Suzanne's plan which is a 6 week plan using Saunder's Comprehensive book 3rd edition. If you're...

    3 weeks to the day...

    I'm very sorry too. But your determination is phenomenal. :) I wish you all the best in the world, because you deserve it. Good

    hi

    I agree with Kay. I also used Saunders and Kaplan. Saunders was great for reviewing content, and Kaplan for critical thinking questions. Good
