Hi there, Does anybody know how long it takes SD's board of nursing website to post nursing license verification after a person passes NCLEX? Is it typically 48 hours after passing? I haven't tested yet (I sit for boards Aug 9)...just thinking ahe...

Hang in there! I know it can be frustrating to look for a new job --- I am a new grad, too, and was just hired in a clinic. The pay is less, but the hours are great and I get to spend more time with my family. It took me about a month before I foun...

Congratulations on the great news! And good luck with the job search!!

Congratulations! :balloons:

I, too, felt 99% sure that I had failed the NCLEX......but the next day my name was posted on the BON website right next to my license number! The test is set up so that you do miss a lot of questions; as a result, most people walk out of the exam fe...

At my school, there are about 200 applicants who take an entrance exam. After you pass the exam, there is a questionnare that you fill out which basically sums up your experiences with patient care and why you want to be a nurse. After that, about ...

I am a recently licensed LPN with no previous nursing experience, and I was just hired in a clinic after applying online. I had applied for 5 different clinic jobs through the same hospital system, and their HR department was VERY diligent in helpin...

:balloons: Way to go! Congrats:nurse:

Congrats on passing boards and on the new baby! What an exciting time in your life! :balloons:

Times sure have changed:wink2:

I am a newly licensed LPN (passed boards Aug 10). I have put my resume in at 6 different clinics in town and also at the vets hospital. Here is my dilemma...I need a job that offers mostly daytime hours. My husband works a lot of weird hours at h...

Thanks for the encouragement! I need it right now!!

Thanks for the replies, everybody. I guess I am just a little discouraged because it looks like it's going to be harder to find a job than I thought (or at least one that will work for my family). Fortunately my husband has a great job, so money is...

Congratulations, nurse!!!:smiley_aa

Thank you for sharing that story. She is a lucky patient to have a special nurse like you! :nuke:

Congratulations!:balloons:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:balloons: Isn't it a great feeling?

I passed my NCLEX-PN on Aug 10, and I absolutely felt like I had failed when I walked out of the testing center. I think everybody does! I also got 85 questions, and a lot of my questions were priority and infection control (which I have heard are ...

Congratulations! :balloons:

Try to relax if you can! I took (and passed) my PN boards last week, and I was a nervous wreck the night before I tested. I did some reviewing the day before my test, but I also took some time to just veg out in front of the TV. Just try to have ...

I studied mostly from the Saunders CD and probably did about 3000 questions total before NCLEX. I think the best advice anybody can give you is just to do as many questions as possible before the exam so that you are used to the test format and so t...

Way to go! Good luck in school!!

It's official! I passed NCLEX & I am now a nurse!!!! :balloons: I am so happy and relieved! I am going to start looking for jobs right now Thanks to all of you who offered kind words & helpful advice in the days before I sat for boards!

I am having a hard time finding a way to change my username. I passed boards last week and have received my license in the mail already. I would like to drop the "LPN2Be" from my name and just change it "LPN". How can I do that? Thanks!!

Does your daughter like Elmo? My daughter (also almost 2) has an Elmo "Let's Play Doctor" kit that came with a plastic stethoscope and thermometer. Elmo talks and asks the child to take his temp, listen to his heart, blow his nose, and fix the "boo...
