yeah it was Benefis that was hiring. I called about 2.5 months ago and they were hiring at that time.

Hi, I totally agree that finding hospitals and calling HR and talking to nurse recruiters rather than applying online is the way to go. I have been looking up hospitals that don't advertise on Indeed and talking to nurse recruiters and alot of them ...

Anyone try hospitals in Great Falls? I talked to HR at one hospital (can't remember which one) but they said they do hire new grads.

Hi VBall369, I am also Canadian and graduated from U.S. nursing program in May 2010. I think it is really important to not stay past your 60 days grace period. I read on an immigration website that it is the # 1 reason for people getting deported fr...

I'm a Canadian and I just finished a 2 year RN degree in the U.S. I also went to the states for the same reason you are wanting to go. It is very expensive as you pay international fee's, but then again Canadian universities are quite expensive too. ...

Forensic nursing is the only field of nursing I've heard of that has close interaction with the police. Forensic nursing has several branches such as correctional/Prison nursing, sexual assault (SANE) nursing, and possibly death investigation. Many o...

Hi, I am in NYS which participates in the "quick" results. I took the nclex on Wednesday at 2:00pm and the pearson view people told me that I would most likely be able to get the results Thursday evening or Friday morning. They told me at the latest...

Perhaps some of these individuals who are trying to work in Canada as a last resort option will answer this. There seems to be alot of them. I just figure if they can come on here and post that they are only "willing" to work in Canada and then ask C...

I think the new grad job situation has a lot to do with location. I understand that some areas are more difficult than others, but there are jobs out there. Everyone in my graduating class who applied for jobs got a job on their first try and many of...

I just found out I passed via the quick results! I'm a bit confused as to what the NY state verification is. Is this what people are talking about where they check the state BON and see their name listed? I've noticed people posting about that and I ...

PVT worked for me. I tried it multiple times and got the good pop up. I just found out I passed! So far it looks like the PVT is quite acurate; however, it would be interesting to know if anyone has passed after getting the "bad pop up" or if anyone ...

Thanks

Your not the only one that felt that way! I took the nclex yesterday and finished with 75 questions. I felt confident after the exam which scares me. In nursing school, the tests that I felt I did really good on I usually didn't do as good. The ones ...

I'm surprised I didn't feel it in Rochester, NY when I was taking the NCLEX exam. The earthquake hit at the same time I started the exam 1:40pm!! I've heard some people in syracuse felt it. Never would have thought there would be earthquakes in Ontar...

I also took the NCLEX today. I tried to register again and I got the same pop up that you got and it did not go to the credit card page. The computer shut off at 75 questions. I just feel nervous right now because I didn't think the test was as hard ...

Hi, I am taking a review course from review for nurses which is really good. The website is www.nclex.reviewfornurses.com. It is relatively cheap in comparison to other review courses such as kaplan or hurst. The questions they use are very difficul...

It's really sad that this is the case. In these hard economic times, it's too bad that Canada doesn't implement some form of retrogression. They sure dont conceal there true intentions on here. They have the audacity to say they are only "willing" t...

Wow..This retrogression is sure causing an influx of nurses into Canada. I guess I just find it somewhat disappointing that Canada has become a last resort option for some people affected by the retrogression. It seems that they want to work in Canad...

Hey everyone, I am not taking the nclex in July, but will be taking it June 18th...Just around the corner! I couldent afford Kaplan or Hurst so I am doing an online review with reviews for nurses which is an exellent review and is helping a lot. I a...

Hi, I kind of know how you feel. I failed a nursing course in my second semester of the first year. I was in a 4 year BSN program in Canada. I had the same problem finding schools who would accept me after failing a nursing course. After alot of sea...

I'm not doing kaplan either... way too expensive.. definately don't have an extra $600.00 lying around..I purchased the reviews for nurses program which was much cheaper and I'm also studying on my own doing lots of practice questions. Good luck to e...

Hello, I am scheduled to take the NCLEX June 16th and will hopefully be taking the CRNE some day! For those of you who have taken both exams or plan to take both exams, I am just wondering what the differences are. I hear different things from peopl...

I have been doing about 125 practice questions/day and reviewing material for the past week. I scheduled for the 16th because I felt that 3 weeks would be adequate time to prepare. I graduated may 20th and some people in my class took the exam june 1...

Hello, I am scheduled to take the NCLEX on June 16th. I have not taken any review courses yet, but I have purchased online nclex questions from reviews for nurses. The questions are very difficult and now I am wondering if I should do an online revie...

Hi lovepinks, I would recommend purchasing online questions from reviews for nurses. Their website is www.nclex.reviewfornurses.com. I have just purchased their questions and they are very difficult with the new nclex format questions. They have ton...
