I got the good pop up (not the "your results are on hold" message) like an hour after!

Don't let the horror stories get to you. The jobs are out there, but just not as easy to get as it was a few years ago. I have friends who graduated 3 years ago and were offered awesome jobs, practically bribed by hospitals to join their new grad programs. I also have friends who graduated within the last year or more and are still looking for jobs. This scared me to death when I approached graduation in December. Yet I remained focused on two things: 1) looking for a job, 2) studying for NCLEX. Yes, doing both made me crazy, but I kept on. I got two great offers, and I have an ADN, have not taken the NCLEX yet, and these hospitals are in the Los Angeles area -- three factors everyone said are against new grads. Don't be discouraged! If this is something you want to do with your whole heart, you'll get there. Good luck in nursing school. It's awesome.

You are not alone. After finishing nursing school, first, be proud you accomplished that. I am also in the same boat, as my NCLEX date is approaching. My suggestion is to study side-by-side with classmates and friends. Get out of the house and do your questions in a library or a cafe. I have found this helps me. Build your stamina little by little. You can do 40 questions and then the next day do 50, and so on. Good luck to you!

How did your interview go?
