  3. So what exactly is legal?

    kjbsn2008 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    kjbsn2008 replied to kjbsn2008's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    This line when it was originally written really upset and discouraged me. The general advice in the post was spot on, but the way in which it was delivered was unkind. I will always consider how I...

    kjbsn2008 replied to 3sodapop's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  10. Dealing with an MI

    kjbsn2008 replied to kjbsn2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    kjbsn2008 replied to kjbsn2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks everyone. I will just keep studying as I am. However, the scores do help in my studying and give me confidence if I do better. I just got an 80 on the pretest on NCLEX 3500 so I guess I'm not...

    kjbsn2008 replied to TraciRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Select all that apply. I've heard that the SATA are higher level questions - which means that if you got several and ended on a lower amount of questions - odds are you

    kjbsn2008 replied to RN*princess's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  15. Moving to MA

    kjbsn2008 replied to RN*princess's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I just got hired as an RN within the partners system at one of the hospitals in Boston so I don't necessarily think you should look elsewhere. Especially if you have experience. I think you are a step...

  18. Advice - Graduating Aug 08 and relocating

    kjbsn2008 replied to kjbsn2008's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Now I'm only currently in my 3rd semester. When all of you suggest applying now, would hospitals even consider me for positions that are posted online now? Or are you suggesting sending a blanket...

  19. Advice - Graduating Aug 08 and relocating

    kjbsn2008 replied to kjbsn2008's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. Could you tell me, what does BON and ATT stand for? Which hospitals have Graduate Nurse programs? I won't be able to take the NCLEX until at least September 2008. I wonder...
