Hi, I work on a tele/cardiac stepdown unit and there is a rumor that we might be going from primary nursing with 4-5 patients to team nursing. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions about this. I mean, I am still on orientation and trying to ge...
hi all. thank you for responding to my post. i worked today and it went really well. i only had two patients and i felt the day went smooth. i fully understand that this will not be typical of all my shifts but still, i felt good today. i voiced...
hi everyone! i am finally starting my new position on a busy cardiac tele floor. my first day on orientation was yesterday. it went fine, basically i was just dusting off the rust since i haven't had patient care since my last day of clinicals in ...
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am another success story to the pearsonvue trick! I just found out that I passed!!!! Oh my goodness, what a relief to know that it is over! Thank God! Congrats to all others that pass!
Hi all! I took the nclex-RN yesterday and I am dying waiting for the results. I was hoping to see my name on the board today, but nothing yet. I am hoping and assuming for tomorrow. I did the "trick" and I got the message about contacting the boa...
I registered for everything online so I got it in the mail. It was 7 days from when the board showed me as pending that I got the att. This is business days, so don't count the weekend. My friends name was pending the same day as me and she got he...
Well, I finally showed pending on the OH site and today I got my att! It took 7 business days before I got my att. First available appt was for Aug 4th. I scheduled mine for Aug 11th. I am excited to finally know a test date but I am sooooo nervo...
I cannot believe how long Ohio is taking. I mean after reading all of these replies that other states are not taking as long, it makes me more and more furious. I got thru to them last Thursday and they informed me that they were working on apps th...
Kadel ~ when were you able to get thru to the board? I have tried for days straight and now on their website it says that the phones are down?! When did you send in your application? I sent mine on 5/15! This is absolutely ridiculous!!!
how long from the time that you sent in your paperwork to the board of nursing until you were able to take the nclex? i live in ohio and it has been 7wks since i sent in all of my paperwork and fees and i still haven't heard from anyone. only 2 peo...
i am very excited to be starting this new job. of course, i am still waiting for the board of nursing to make me eligible to sit for the boards. they are very backed up. this floor is a tele floor. i am thrilled to work there, i think i will lear...
I don't have any advice for you unfortunately because I am a new grad and just starting out. I was responding so that others would maybe reply to this post because I am pregnant and am due this September. I plan on taking a shortened maternity leav...
Thank you for your advice, it is so scary starting out because I know how important a first job can be and I just want to make the right choice. This helps so much!
Hi, I am graduating in May!!! I am so excited to be done with school and cannot wait to start my new career. I currently work for a hospital and am starting to put requests in to work as a staff nurse. Right now, there is not many jobs that are cu...
Thank you both for your advice. This is such a hard decision. I do currently work in a hospital doing clerical work, so I would be able to attempt to transfer and keep my seniority. I guess I just think, who is going to hire a six month pregnant/n...
