Princessa, i can totally relate to your situation. i graduated may 09 and i too have yet to find a position. i put my job search on hold from about august to december because i was pregnant and had some complications. i resumed my job search again...

Best of luck to you!!! You will do great!!!

don't overthink why they want to interview you. GO!!! to the interview and give it your best. and just because they say there aren't any positions right now it may not be the case. good luck!!!

yes i did use exam cram. but i also used Saunders Comprehensive review and a Kaplan book as well. I think all three had questions similar to what is on the NCLEX. I think exam cram was a great review tool and would recommend it!! Good luck!!!

beachbutterfly i averaged close to 68% on several tests and did just fine with NCLEX. i remember reading that you should be in the 70's but I passed on my first attempt. i think you will be fine. just take your time and read the question CAREFULLY...

i did try the "trick" this afternoon about 4 hours after i completed my test. I did get the "pop up" that they say is a positive thing to get and it wouldn't let me register but i left the test feeling like i failed it. i just have to wait and see ...

I also took the nclex rn this morning and was told that the SOONEST i could utilize the quick results service was wednesday morning as well. they said i could try around 8am on wednesday!!! this is going to be torture!!!

i took my nclex-rn exam this morning and like some of the other posts have said i left in tears!!! i sat in my car wiping the tears feeling like a complete failure. i sat there thinking why i had spent two years in nursing school since there were s...

I didn't take the entire actual Hurst Review but I attended several individual sessions during my state convention and I found them to be excellent. They have a very "hands on" way of instructing on the patho that it really helps to answer the quest...

I also completed the survey for you.

Don't know if you already decided about the books but I would also be willing to pay for postage/shipping as well. If you still haven't decided who to send these to I would love to take them. Thanks!

mlrios, i am also in my last semester of an ADN program and feel just really overwhelmed with it all too. i wish i had some words of advice but i really don't. just know that you aren't alone! i only have 13 weeks to go and there are days where i ...

Thanks so much Daytonite. I was complicating the whole equation when I set it up. I was trying to use the 4.2ml that was listed in the problem when I didn't even need it at all. Thanks again!

I just wanted to say hi to all current and future OCC nursing students. I am currently in the OCC Nursing program and thought it was cool to see at least a couple of other OCC students here at allnurses.com Hello to all!!!! If there is a separate for...

I posted here last week looking for some med calculation help and received an awesome response so i thought I would post again with another problem. I think what confuses me is that it's confusing with all the extra stuff they seem to put into the pr...

Thanks Sweetooth and Daytonite for your help. I knew it was something simple but for some reason I was getting tied up on the extra info.

Hello everyone. I recently joined allnurses.com after finishing my first semester of nursing school this past fall. I was hoping someone could help me with a medication calculation problem I have been trying to figure out. i have looked through my ...

Thanks everyone for all the help. I knew it was a lot simpler than I was reading into and I was confusing myself even more by trying to use all the numbers they used in the question not really stopping to think that there would be exta stuff in there...
