  1. Please, tell me!

    glamgalRN replied to indiawhitaker's topic in Emergency

    Going by what I read from your previous posts, you're 17 years old, you need to relax about this salary stuff! I admire the fact that you're heart is so set on nursing, I sure wish I was at that age....

  2. Can't find a job as new grad!!!

    glamgalRN replied to jdorworth's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Janice, I live in the same area as you and just wanted to see how you were doing and what was going on with your job situation. I still believe there are nursing jobs available in Philly/South...

  3. Warning: changing the date of NCLEX

    glamgalRN replied to romantic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That really stinks, I'm sorry you have to deal with that! :icon_hug:I knew that you had to give them 24 hours notice, and if you didn't you have to repay the $200 but I had no idea you had to pay and...

  4. Clinical sites in Philadelphia

    glamgalRN replied to chaxanmom's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It all depends on what school you go to. For example, the nursing school I went to was in downtown Philly, so most of our clinicals were at hospitals in that area. Have you started looking into...

  5. The Day Before....

    glamgalRN replied to NurseGreenEyes RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The day before I went over some basic last minute stuff, but only from like 8am-12pm on and off. All along I thought the day before the nclex I would be going crazy studying but that wasn't the case...

  6. I Did It

    glamgalRN replied to emilysmom,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. NCLEX tomorrow

    glamgalRN replied to Nurse K8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Kate, Good luck tomorrow. Keep telling yourself that you did everything you could to prepare for this exam and YOU WILL PASS. Tonight relax, try to sleep well and eat a good breakfast tomorrow....

  8. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    glamgalRN replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    Wow what a great thread! I live in Philly, and was shocked from reading these posts that it seems very common for nurses in NY w/the BSN to get paid more than someone w/their ASN for a staff nurse...

  9. Kaplan review

    glamgalRN replied to priyagoldy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your qbank score is great! Every test is different, but to give you an idea my qbank average was a 57%, but when I started to redo the questions over again I brought it up to a 73%. I got a 61% on qt7...

  10. money in between time.....

    glamgalRN replied to backtothefuture's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since you will be taking your boards in just a few days I would focus on last minute studying and making sure you're prepared for the exam rather than worrying about finding a job if you fail. You're...

  11. Awesome Link for New Nurses and Those Interested in ICU

    glamgalRN replied to BinkieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for posting this!! I'm starting my first nursing job in the ICU in 2 weeks and I'm scared to death. I hope this

  12. Kaplan before or after

    glamgalRN replied to jujufireal's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally agree with Clara. My kaplan course started 2 weeks after I graduated and I didn't look or think about studying until that time. It's impossible to study every bit of material, so what I did...

  13. Having dreams that I failed NCLEX

    glamgalRN replied to Price 2002's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    omg, I can totally relate! I had a dream that I failed the nclex too. One day I was watching "True Hollywood Story: John Kennedy Jr" and they said that he failed the Bar Exam the first two times he...

  14. Used Kaplan

    glamgalRN replied to RNdude77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats and good luck with the job hunt!

  15. Two very different labs on calcium which to choose?

    glamgalRN replied to CalypsoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I worried about the same thing. To be honest, it seems like every topic I worried about I wasn't tested on; I guess the day I took the nclex was just my lucky day. I really did like Kaplan, but for...

  16. Those who failed on Kaplan are scaring many!

    glamgalRN replied to KCR411's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi KCR411, I took Kaplan and passed with 75 questions. It's funny you say a lot of people you know who used Kaplan recently failed because the 20 people from my school who I still talk to that took...

  17. Do you know?

    glamgalRN replied to Nurse K8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NCLEX is a pass or fail kind of test. You won't get your score after the test shuts off; you'll have to wait anywhere from 24hrs up to a couple days depending on what state you live in. I live in PA...

  18. Is anyone else having a problem finding a job in Philadelphia?

    glamgalRN replied to chocolate123's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi crazystudent, If I were you I would still apply to hospitals in Philly with the hopes that some of the new grads they hired failed the nclex. I hope that doesn't sound like you're banking on the...

  20. Tips to survive nursing school... I need your help!

    glamgalRN replied to AggieQT's topic in General Students

    1. Purchase Saunder's NCLEX review book, it really helped me study for exams during nursing school. 2. Try to have one or two people in your class who you can really count one, someone who you can...

  21. NCLEX test

    glamgalRN replied to golfergirl17's topic in General Nursing

  22. ADHD and taking the NCLEX? Help!

    glamgalRN replied to crunchymomx3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was diagnosed with ADD back in 7th grade and was put on Ritalin. By the time I was a sophomore in high school I decided I didn't want to take it anymore because I was so embarrassed to go down to...

  23. Orientation Woes

    glamgalRN replied to Andrew, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First off, I want to congratulate you, it sounds like you did a great job under a lot of stress. I give you a lot of credit, one month after starting as a new RN on an ICU unit I would simply refuse...

  24. Do you think being ESL makes the NCLEX harder?

    glamgalRN replied to aereo2002's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, my bad. For some reason I thought people who were bilingual got paid more after they took some kind of test. Thanks for clearing that up for
