    OK, Fess up - who doesn't have a job yet?

    maire replied to brina's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had a few (can't remember exactly how many but it was more than 2 or 3) and I thought for sure I got them all wrong. Still passed with 75 questions. My advice is to not stress over them; easier...

    New grads with no experience

    maire replied to nursekrin's topic in General Nursing

    From personal experience, even if it says minimum experience X required, apply anyway. So many hospitals hire new grads, and not just in advertised "New Grad Positions." I found on an interview that...

    Can new grads get a 7a-3p shift?

    maire replied to akissbytheseine's topic in General Nursing

    In my area I haven't seen many 7a - 3p shifts, other than office jobs, and I don't think any of them were hiring new grads. It is NOT unrealistic to want to work days, as not ALL new grads are...

    Kaplan NCLEX Review
