:hpygrp:Hi Wiggles, I think it will definately give you an advantage that your mom has worked at MSK for so long. After your first year of clinicals be sure to apply for the CAP program. The combination of these two things will give you a very good c...

I've been at MSK for 2 years, and have been told that currently they are hiring RN's through current employee referral only. This may change at some point, but currently that's what they're doing. It is a great place to work and I know I will stay ...

I was on an inpatient med/surg unit for the last year and a half and recently transferred to ICU. In my last weeks on the floor, a few nurses became nasty and talked behind my back. 1 even complained about my care of a patient and emailed my nurse m...

Thanks! I feel better already!

I graduated from SVCMC 2007, will be starting my BSN in the fall, Adlephi and Suny downstate have both accepted all my RN classes. I thought the program was great and very affordable compared to many other schools (Adelphi = $25k per school year). ...

Just want to let everyone know that St Vincent's now offers an evening program!:w00t:

:specs:Hi, I graduated last year from St Vincent's, it was a great experience, small school, affordable. It is very competitive though, only 50 students are accepted per semester out of 1,000 or more applicants. Best of Luck.

NS/LIJ takes new grads and has a fellowship program. Best of luck!

Keep your chin up. You can and will pass. I took Kaplan and I highly recommend it. The qbank is great, and is very much like the NCLEX. I passed the first time with 75 questions and I really credit that to the Kaplan course. I did Kaplans qbank...

Sorry to hear that you failed, but din't give up. You have worked way too hard to let 1 test get in your way. I took and passed the NCLEX 3 weeks ago and I took Kaplan and did the online qbank. The class and qbank are a great prep for the test. Ple...

Hi, I just graduated with my ADN and the starting salary at Sloan Kettering is 70,000 + 10% night differential. They also give $10,000 tuition reimbursement if you go on to continue your education. They offer self scheduling and 4 weeks paid vacati...

Hey Jenny, I won't be living in Sloans housing, I have 3 kids and the apt would be too small for all of us. Congrats on your job. If you're still interested in Sloan, get a little experience and reapply. I did not get the first position I applied ...

Hi, I'm a recent grad and will be working at Sloan. You shouldn't be discouraged, it is sooo competitive. Have you gone to any job fairs? I went to the Advance for Nurses fair and the Nursing Spectrum one. I met lots of recruiters from tons of h...

:smiley_aaCONGRATULATONS!!!!

:monkeydance:Hi, I am a recent grad and will be working at Memorial Sloan Kettering starting this September. I want to stay at this hospital, but want to move my family (3 kids) within the next 3 years. I need to be able to commute, will travel up ...

Took mine in NY last week and it took 49 hrs and 30 mins!!! Good Luck!

I have the book that was included for the course, mine is all content review. If it's questions your looking for continue with the q bank and try the NCLEX 3500 disc. I go mine used from amazon for $15. I passed this past week w/75?'s. Best of L...

Hi, I took my NCLEX Thurs, and am waiting the results. I can't sleep, I'm nauseous and have a really upset stomach. I have never felt soooo sick. This waiting is killing me. I had 75? a lot of check all that apply, some delegation, prioritization...

Hi everyone, After 50 of the most stressful hours, I found out I passed w/ 75?'s. It was the most difficult test I've ever taken, but now I can really call my self an RN!!! It still doesn't seem real yet, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud! Thank...

Essaboz, Thanks. The 2 weeks before and really all along I've been using Kaplan's qbank and question trainers. I also reviewed content with the Kaplan book. The other thing I used was the NCLEX 3500 disc, similar to Kaplan's questions and very hel...

:lol2:My Kaplan overall was 60%. I had 75?'s, and thought I definately failed, but found out last night I passed. Kaplan is a good prep for thetest, best of luck, you are prepared, you can do it!!!

Lidiya, Thanks for the support. I found out I passed!! What a great feeling!

Hi, Took my RN exam yesterday. It shut off at 75?'s, no calculations, lots of meds--some I've never heard of, about 8 select all that apply, and also priority and a few delegation. I think I only got 3 or 4 right, I have never felt so anxious and ...

:oTook my test today and it stopped at 75 too. I feel like I failed, there were no answers I felt 100% certain of. It was tourture!!! I feel so upset and sick and like an idiot!!!
