  1. any nyc hosp offering incentives to new grads

    Some offer really nice discounts and benefits to all employees. I hear NYU is nice b/c after a year of employment (or six months.. can't remember) - they offer you something called tuition remission...
  2. That familiar student nurse feelin'.

    Thankfully, how you described "how things should be" was closely related to how they were. I did not have any of my own patients, but rather followed a nurse who had... many! It's easy to feel a...
  3. Unless you're incredible... or God - I feel that even the smallest amount of success in ANYTHING requires some preparation (even if it's minimal). Many people can't just graduate from nursing school...
  4. What is the best NYC hospital for a fresh grad?

    Interesting that you say that. I've become accustomed to those sorts of numbers over night when I did my externships and clinicals at other hospitals. What's a normal ratio at your

  8. New York Application NCLEX...NEEd Help?

    Nope, you pay $30 up front and can retake the test as many times as you need to. And then the final "pass" result is electronically sent to the NY State Boards. The test is really basic. I'm pretty...
  9. New RN precepting students!

    I'm a really young nurse. As in, three days old. (You were consoling me during my post-nclex craziness). But, after the NCLEX pounded prioritization in my head... I can't help but retain that the...
  10. New York Application NCLEX...NEEd Help?

    Everybody in NY State has to complete this (from nurses to physicians to teachers to attorneys). Mainly, anybody who has the potential to provide care for a child that is being abused, his/her family,...
  11. I took the NCLEX yesterday. In a funky state of mind right now. I'm thinking about the priority questions -- I know I had a good number.. they weren't ALL priority. I got so nervous when I went...
  12. Nclex 8/2

    Hey there - best of luck on the upcoming NCLEX. Try not to over-burden your mind in these last couple of days. There will always be more things to learn... therefore, there will always be things to...
  13. Anybody with familiar feelings?

    :roll Hey guys, Thank you all for the comforting words. I just wanted to let you know that I found out this morning that I passed. I was spending the weekend with my girlfriends for a graduation party...

    My gosh, your confidence made me smile. LoL. Can you lend some of that to
  15. 2nd time failed.......

    I wish I could give you a hug! I'm so sorry. I know there's nothing I can say to relieve your pain. I don't know if you're spiritual... but if you are.. here's something that always helps me through...
  16. Well.. alright. I took the test.. and it shut off at 75 questions. Actually, no.. it shut off at 74 questions - to tell me I should break. However, in the amount of time it took for the computer...
  17. NCLEX was harder than any practice questions

    Heey, I took the NCLEX earlier this morning and it shut off @ 75 after about an hour and a half. I got three select all that apply questions, more drugs than I thought, and a number of priorities...
  18. 24 hours until go-time.

    Ergh. Up at 7AM and I can't sleep anymore. 24 hours until I PASS this test. ... I think I've given myself an ulcer. At most, I've been afforded the opportunity to differentiate whether it's in my...
  19. lost in the paper!

    Oh gosh. That all sounds confusing and super frustrating. My school was pretty good when it came to directing the students and telling us what we needed to do to and when we needed to do it by. But...
  20. Hi everybody! I'm new to this website and just wanted to send out a hello! In addition, I had a question for some of you Kaplan users that found success with the program. I'm taking the NCLEX this...
