deliverator I am looking at this as an option. I was active duty army for a few years then switched to the reserves. Once I got into a nursing program the rules changed on military nurses having to get the BSN in order to serve. Right now it is my goal to get my degree and want to serve my country either through serving again or by working in at the military clinic. Thanks for your reccommendations:nurse:

I am in the same boat. I graduated in May 2009 got licensed in July 2009. I had a baby Sep 2009 and moved out of state to be with my husband who is in the ARMY. Needless to say because of the ARMY life i have not been able to land a job. We moved 3 times within me graduating from school. I haven't been able to land a job so I decided to go back to get my BSN. I am more than half way done. I pray that when I finish up my BSN and take a refresher course and get ACLS certified I will be able to finally land a job. I am doing the flu clinics but I want to do more. I would not mind volunteering or doing LTC or even hospice. I get want some experience. And for the answer about the striped. I don't think it is a bad idea if the pay difference isnt that much. And I would have no problem signing a 3 year contract to stay at a hospital

Thanks everyone. I am going to do the refresher course and take the ACLS. My BLS is current. That sucks that the market is so horrible right now. You keep hearing how theres a shortage of nursing and then they wont hire new grads only experienced nurses. Its so sad. I know once I get my BSN some doors will open with military employment so that is why I am working hard on getting my BSN.

Due to husband being in the military and myself having a baby I was not able to look into getting a RN job until now. I will be moving to the Los Angeles County area in Sep. And would like a job. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I have my ADN and am about half way done with my BSN. Ideally I would love to work in a hospital but at this point I think i will take anything. Also do you thinkI should do a refresher course? Or any other courses to help me out? And helps or tips would be greatly appreciated

Do you have the information? I would like to sign myself up. I went to school there and loved it. I think it is worth the 3 year contract plus they pay really well. In addition since it is county if you choose to leave a lot of hospital in the area will hire you ASAP.

I applied to a few of there programs I know they had one in San Pedro, Downey and Anaheim I believe I have yet to hear anything from them. I got to it through a search through indeed.com

does anybody know of new grad programs in Augusta GA area? i was licensed in CA and am transfering it over to GA. my hubby is military, any advice would be great>

This trick worked for me and my friends. I took the exam June 30 th and got home I tried it got the pop and found out I passed July 3rd on my son's 7th birthday! Praise the lord.

I passed too! WOO HOO I am an RN!!!! I found out friday but couldn't get on to post before that. :) That pearson vue trick worked for me

No news yet. But a couple of my friends got there results today. All passed except for one who isn't sure bc the boards said there were problems with her transcripts. Where did you go to school at? I heard that they update their website every night at 315 am so hopefully we will know tomorrow.

Seriously pay the money to do the NCSBN questions they are identical to the ones on the nclex. The link is http://www.learningext.com/ I definately think that if you do the review online plus all the questions you will be ready. The only other advice I have is when doing the questions review each rationale to the questions wether it is right or wrong. Saftey, infection control, prioritizing was very big I got a lot of those questions. Also know the diffrent procedures, I was asked to rank order inserting a foley, 1 med question and a lot of teaching as in how do you know it was effective and not effective. HTH

IS anyone else painfully awaitng there results? I took the test tuesday June 30th. When can I expect to see my result on the BON website? My stupid school just sent our transcripts last thursday, I hope to dear god that they are in before the lone weekend. ANYONE ELSE IN THE WAITING GAME???:redpinkhe:o

Hey everyone was wondering if anyone took the NCLEX in CA on June 30th. I am looking for support, I am anxiously awaitng the results. I am 7 months pregnant and can not take all this anxiety. I got 75 questions with about 5 SATA, 1 rank order about foley's, 8 on meds, 5 of which I have never heard of any totally had to guess,and 1 drug dosage calculation. There were a lot of priority, delegation, and infection control. Does any one have any idea when I am gonna see my name on the CA BON website? PS I tired the pearson VUE trick and it wouldn't let me re-register which is good news. Any body??? PLEASE help relieve my anxiety:cry:

CONGRATS on passing. i am also on the waiting list. took the test today and got 75 and am deadly afraid that I didn't pass. Thanks for giving me hope.

Speaking as a person who just took the NCLEX as in today, NCSBN question were very similar to the NCLEX questions. Most of my questions were one sentence type questions which is most similar to the NCSBN. I did take a review and did NCLEX 3500 but like I said the most similar ones are on the learning ext. HTH
