I had a job lined up before I finished nursing school in the ER at my local hospital which I was really excited about. I failed the NCLEX-RN the first time but passed on my second time! But now the hospital said that I had to do a Med-Surg floor for 12 weeks before I can go down to the ER to work! I want to know if this has happened to anyone else before because I do not think that it is fair since I interviewed and was hired by the nurse manager in the ER and I never wanted to do any of the Med-Surg floors! When I talked to the HR person they said it was because I failed the NCLEX the first time. I started to apply to other hospitals again that I had turned down because I was offered other ER positions but this hospital is right down the road from my house and with gas prices being so high I told the HR person that I would try the rotation. Any thoughts?

Just to let everyone know I PASSED!!!!! :balloons: :prdnrs:

Kazuki7, I feel exactly the way that you do! I took the nclex-rn the second time July 30 also and I left the test center with the feeling I passed! My computer shut off at 75q this time and the first time it shut off at 265. The first time I knew that I had failed even though all of my nursing school friends told me not to worry because they knew I passed the first time. This time I felt much more confident and a lot of the questions that I answered was the same content that I had been studying so I knew what the answer was especially the medications. Good Luck to you!!

I start the RN program on August 18 at Edgecombe Community College in North Carolina. Can't wait!
