    yes, I have thought about moving down south, but was scared since I do have a child and would have zero help there. i would totally have to depend on child care and that may not work if I have a...

  2. What Can I Do??

    mslema posted a topic in California Nursing

    If all the new grad positions are filled am I supposed to wait until the end of the year when more new grad positions become available? What else can I do because I need a job badly to support myself...

  3. about CA BON

    mslema replied to Shaian's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's the way I checked it and found out in 3 days. I received my license in the mail like a week and a day or so after my test date. This is not true for everyone though. You could check but don't...

  4. small or big envelope?

    mslema replied to camel1118's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Small envelope is good because your license will come in it. I received mine about 1 week after I tested in CA. I assume big would be bad because it will contain your report and information on how...

  6. NCLEX 10 days out-- Best Study source?

    mslema replied to Go Green Girl Jr.'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with a previous post. Purchase the Kaplan Strategies Book 2008-2009. There are 180 questions on CD and an additional test of 180 questions in the book. 10 days is not much time for content...

  7. w/75 questions & what I used to study

    mslema replied to mslema's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are the Q banks the same as question trainers? I only borrowed the question trainer CD from a friend. I thought the NCLEX and question trainers had the same level of difficulty, but there was...

    mslema posted a topic in California Nursing

  9. Is the nursing shortage over in the Bay Area?

    mslema replied to PedsRN1975's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in CA as well. I went to school in Sacramento but am from the bay area. I applied as an IP to some new grad programs in the bay area and never received any call backs. I think I made a mistake...

  11. new user...didn't pass nclex

    mslema replied to luv'nlife068's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally did not take Kaplan because I didn't have the money. From what I hear from all of my friends, Kaplan assumes that you know the content and that you only need a quick review. I borrowed...

  12. Took nclex 75 questions..what does that mean

    mslema replied to rnalmost43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's a good sign that you were getting harder questions. You can definitely pass w/ 75 questions. Hang in there. If you felt confident, then it's a good chance that you will pass. Don't read...

    mslema replied to nursebettykay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also took mine on the 15th in CA and am waiting patiently for my results (very difficult to do). Mine also shut off at 75, and at the time, I felt I wanted more questions to "redeem" myself b/c I...

    to San Quentin Correctional Facility? Is anyone an RN at a correctional facility? If so, how is it? I don't know what to expect. What would I be doing if I work there? Any information would be...

    mslema replied to mslema's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks a bunch. Yeah, I didn't know there was a correctional forum until after I made the post. I found some interesting info on there.

    mslema replied to GatorRN08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here are the two that I can think of. Hope they're weird enough! Fifth's Disease (erythema infectiosum)- a virus that causes a red rash on kid's faces that looks like their cheeks had been slapped....

    mslema replied to tbanurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh yeah, also, I went to CSU, Sacramento and the person in charge of NCLEX actually walks to paperwork, transcripts, etc. down to the BRN. That's kinda neat that it's in

  22. CA is testing my patience...

    mslema replied to tbanurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I assume the BRN can tell you, but on that brochure that they give us at the testing center, it says try not to call because they use the resources on phone calls rather than processing results, etc....

  25. Took NCEX-RN Today! Shut off at 75

    mslema replied to mslema's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck to you as well! I don't think the amount of SATA questions you have determines whether or not you pass. I hope we both post in a few days that we passed! I don't know what to think about...
