i am a new PN grad and recently applied for a tele position at a hospital near my home... it is a weekend special so the pay is wonderful and more than i expected to make at a hospital as a new grad... well i went on 3 interviews... 1 with human resources, 1 with the unit coordinator (who btw gave me a pharm quiz which i aced) , and 1 with the department head. to me the interview went pretty well and i got a phone call a few days later asking for a phone number of one of my clinical instructors for a reference. They also called my present boss for a reference...well both references were good. but...it's almost 2 weeks later and i haven't heard a thing... the dept head told me that the hiring process takes a long time... does it usually take this long to offer the position? and do they always let you know yes or no? i'm interviewing at other places but this job is definitely my first pick and i'd hate to accept another job only to have them finally call.....

do you guys have any LPNs that work in your ER? i went to nursing school to work in the ER and i know that most LPNs can't work critical care but i plan on going to RN school very soon....

i am graduating pn school next week so i will be taking my boards soon also... i'm pretty sure if you're grades throughout school were decent you should have no problems passing boards... put it this way... out of the last 2 pn programs only 1 out of each class failed...one was literally having a miscarriage during the test and the other barely made it through school :)

i am graduating PN school next thursday and it is like nursing bootcamp! you go straight through with no breaks longer than a week or two and have tests pretty much every week especially when clinicals begin...just hang in there..it'll be over before you know it!
