I am math challanged and am a little worried about the type of calculations that are asked on the exam. I passed the dose/calc testing that was required within my nursing program, but am rusty. Can anyone tell me the type of dosage questions I should...

Sorry to hear that you didn't get the internship. I am a Christiana employee and I was hired and I did not have ANY nursing experience, just clinicals from nursing school. I do know they hire from within a lot but that is not always the case. Righ...

In Southern NJ...Cooper or Lourdes. I tend to lean toward the teaching hospitals. I live in Jersey and work at Christiana in DE (in top 100 hospitals to work at in US per Nursing mag 2009). Hope this helps.

I was a May 09 graduate from NJ and searched the Christiana website and applied for RN positions that specified graduate nurses encouraged to apply. This time of year, there aren't many postings...keep checking the website. I did not prev. work at ...

When taking the Kaplan questions, first figure out what the question is asking....MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!! Then start eliminating from there.... I am not a very good test taker, but I passed with 75 questions on the first try. While testing, I felt confi...

Completion of the Kaplan course was a requirement that needed to be met in order for you to graduate at my nursing school. I am grateful that this course was required because it was the reason I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. I am an average s...

I agree that Kaplan was the reason why I passed (along with my strong desire to pass) the NCLEX RN. I would do the Qbank questions and sometimes 25 at a time because I felt 50-100 at a time would burn me out. Once the test was complete, I'd go over...

:DI passed!!!!! Took my test 08-08-08 at 8:00! Just rec'd my results. Now I can finally move on with my life. :nurse:

Meow, I completed 95% of the qbank overall is 60. Kaplan's pretest scored 61....readiness 62. I refused to believe any readiness tests that are going to tell me I'm going to fail. I must say, even if I only did 25 qbank questions at a time, I...

Well, got home from taking the NCLEX RN. Shut off at 75 and would you believe 13 SATA's!!!!! At one point, I had SATA back to back! Two math problems (one mg/kg/min and one units) and tons of meds. The meds are ones that I saw in my Kaplan question...

Just graduated from Cumberland, there is no HESI exit exam. But, there was talk that there may be a requried ATI grade that you need to reach at the end of the 2nd year. Call the college, and they'll be happy to help you.

Oh, by the way Congratulations Adema12!!! I hope you have the time to celebrate this great accomplishment in your life.:clpty:

Thanks adema12! I'm going to concentrate on taking my time reading the question and keeping in the back of my mind patient safety. I am a rollercoaster of emotions, one minute I'm fine and confident I'm going to pass and then I flip to the other side...

Congratulations!!! :hpygrp: Take time to celebrate this great accomplishment!!!

Tracy628, my girlfriend rec'd 4 math calc with same type of ques except the numbers were different. She made a mistake and calculated for hours not minutes on one and then the computer gave her three more to see if she was competent. She passed las...

Its interesting that I too am taking my exam 8-8-08 at 8:00am!! I too am scared to death. A close friend of mine rec'd her pass results yesterday. She said the exam was "easy"!! No brainer!!! What???? :uhoh21: For some reason, hearing those words put...

I'm from New Jersey and have accepted a position in DE. I am being asked to produce a GN license on the first day of orientation. I've checked the board of nursing site and there is no such license or a listing of GN's. I have my diploma, ATT and d...

Thanks for the valuable information that has been provided. I just wish that I was told what was needed when I was hired. There is another orientation that I can attend at a later date, so I won't lose out on this position. I will contact DE BON ...

I origianally signed up to test for a NJ license but got hired in DE...so I'll have to pay add'l to receive a DE license as well. Do you think my ATT and diploma are sufficient to show that I am indeed a GN? Other states do offer GN licenses but J...

I just went to my pre-employment testing on Monday. I went to the lab for blood work, urine drug screen and the physical included; vision screen, blood pressure, vaccination history and health/family history. I was not weighed on a scale but was as...

As I stated in my origianl post, I interviewed and sent thank you letter expressing my interest in position. I called two times and left a voice mail for recruiter. Nothing. On Friday, she called me stated she had been very busy and was sorry for n...

I recently interviewed for a med/surg position. I felt the interview went well, rec'd info on benefits, salary, holidays etc. I stated my desire to take the position. I also sent an after the interview thank you letter. It has been 12 days since ...

Forget the Southern New Jersey/PA/Delaware area, many of my graduating classmates are unable to land a GN position. The GN's that do have jobs are the ones who worked at the same hospital prior to graduating. Jobs are plentiful for RN's with experi...

Wow, CA pays 37.25 to a new RN with no experience to start? FYI, When reviewing figures from 2007, Jersey has a lower cost of living than CA.

Southern New Jersey was just offered 26.25 as a graduate nurse....27.25 after passing the boards.:nurse:
