Thank you! :)

I am originally from Austin, but have been living in Seattle for the past 18 years. I have been a nurse for a little over a year (RN, BSN), and have been working for just under a year in addiction nursing. I am looking to move back home sometime i...

Hi, I am a nursing student at PLU finishing up my junior year... One year left! :) I have been trying to find a nurse tech job for some time now, and so far have not been successful. I am trying to look outside the big 2, Franciscan and MultiCare H...

The interview was a group interview and the first part was us filling out a packet with timed activities on it. We had 10 seconds to complete the first activity, then 3 minutes to do the second, which was a longer version of the first activity, basi...

There was a mix of new grads and experienced RNs

They were mostly behavioral, but not the ones I'm used to getting. I had to think a bit harder about what I was going to say and how to phrase it, and then try to write it out. There were 5 questions, we were given 25 minutes to answer them, so tha...

Whereabouts in TX? Did you get your license before you started looking in those other states? I'm a homesick Texan, but I'm from Austin and I suspect I'd be no better off there than here.

Hi, everyone! I am a new grad nurse, freshly licensed in Washington state. I am a Texas native, though (and a bit homesick at that). I have been considering getting a license to practice in Texas for a number of reasons. I went to the BON site and...

omg! that was me too! Do you eat?? Really? -.- Am I breathing? What do you think? I was 5'10 in 7th grade and didn't get over the 100 lb mark until I was nearly out of high school. I can add "are you bulimic and are you diabetic (um what?) to tha...

I totally feel you. I'm a new grad also. I graduated with my BSN in December, passed NCLEX in February and I'm still hunting for jobs. Have been looking since before graduation for residencies. It's been very disheartening. I haven't quite gotten t...

Did your transcripts get sent to the board of nursing? All programs do things differently, but we were responsible for sending thay stuff to the BON. Some didn't realize that, expected the school to do it and it caused delays. If you got the good ...

I PASSED! My license just activated!

I'm a new grad nurse. I've been applying & applying to residencies. I am either getting rejection letters or just silence. I've had one interview and didn't get the job. Meanwhile many in my cohort got jobs, some before we graduated, and ar...

I took NCLEX today. It shut off at after 75 questions. I got the good pop up. Won't be completely relaxed until I see my license activated at the dept of health website. Question, though. I see some posters that do the pvt more than once. Has ...

I am a new grad nurse (just took the NCLEX today in fact). I've wanted to be a SANE for about as long as I've wanted to be a nurse. I know that to work as a SANE, along with certification, experience is desired in either ED, women's health, or L&am...

Taking it tomorrow... I hope I prepared enough

Glad this thread got bumped, as I was wondering the same. Got a 69% on the pretest and have been ranging 65-70% on practice questions there and pretty much across the board. I take NCLEX RN on Thursday and am nervous as hell! Lol

I have an interview for an ER residency in about 3 weeks. There's a group of 10 of us going for 6 openings. They are taking us all on the same day, addressing us as a group first, explaining the residency program, expectations, etc. and then interv...

No... They knew many of us were new grads, and I asked it, if I needed to mive my date up (residency starts Feb. 11) and she said I had plenty of time... I just didn't stick out enough, I guess.

and I'm scared to death! I graduated in December and have been studying like crazy. I couldn't afford the Kaplan course, so I've been looking through Saunders Comprehensive, the NCSBN 3 week review course, and doing practice questions from the ATI...

how are you approaching ncsbn review? do you read the content and then do the post tests? or do you do questions then backtrack? I got a 69% on the pre test.. ugh. I've been averaging 60-65% for the most part, got 56% on one section in the Kaplan R...

I didn't get it...

It's been a week and I still haven't heard anything yay or nay. Beginning to think I'm not gonna get this job. Trying to study for nclex while job hunting is sooo stressful!

Just got home from my interview. 20 candidates for 6 residencies. I honestly have no idea how I did. It felt like it went so quickly after having to wait so long. I did the best I could, I think. I feel like I fumbled a bit with parts of the cri...

Got it! Thanks so much! Congrats on having it all behind you! :) We all just got our ATTs today and a bunch of the girls in my cohort are taking it this month, I feel like a slacker for waiting till February, but I haven't been able to study much ove...
