    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    no. I ran into the manager in question at the orientation for the BSN completion program I'm hoping to go to. Apparently HR is "reviewing" my application due to my job history. I called HR...

    Harder to get a job than I thought

    WildcatFanRN replied to lsvalliant's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only thing that would cause red flags is the number of jobs I only had for 6 months or so. I have several and they weren't travel or per diem work. I had a bad time while in AZ with jobs and now...

    Harder to get a job than I thought

    WildcatFanRN replied to lsvalliant's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm being as aggressive as I can without being rude. But its my 13 years of LPN experience thats probably keeping me from finding anything, rather a few year span of short stay

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Nursing Career

    WildcatFanRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the diagnostic pretest and answered 99 out of 150 correct, meaning I missed 51 questions. Not bad imo. But honestly I can't tell exactly how well or bad that is since it gave me a 66% I...

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal
