I graduate May 13th:yeah: Today we had to take the ATI predictor exam:bugeyes: I only scored a 89% chance of passing. Luckily we do not have to score a certain percentage in order to graduate. I am wondering if anyone out there had a score close to m...

I work at RMH and can tell you it is 19.09 day shift differentials for night shift.

Hospitals in Roanoke, VA are hiring new grads. That is where most of the folks that graduated with me went and they are still hiring:twocents:

Personally I love pyxis because it makes it difficult to have a med error. First you scan your finger. Then you pick out the patient. Next you pick out which med then it tells you which pocket the med is in. All you need to do is make sure the drug y...

Out of 75 Qs I only had 2 math. Neither was horrible:up:

Really you are doing great! I had a score of 58% on Q Bank and 50-60s on Q Trainers. I passed with 75 Questions the first time. Good Luck and try to remain calm.

I started applying to New Graduate positions in January 2009. I interviewed on several floors and had different offers. I am working on a med/surg fllor that specializes in Acute Care for the Elderly. So far I love it! The patients are wonderful and ...

I just took the NCLEX RN. I feel like I knew nothing. I had 75 questions. Of those 2 were math, 8 were SATA, and 1 was drag and drop. I used Kaplan and Linda Lacharity's delegation book. Most of my test seemed to be prioritization. I know there is no...

I took it in VA. I really want to know so I can have relief!

Good Luck! I just took it as well so hopefully we will be happy tomorrow:up:

I'm joining the support group. I just scheduled my NCLEX for June 24th at 8 am:eek:

I just graduated with my AAS on May 13th, I am already taking my first class towards my BSN. I start the BSN program full time in August through ODU:yeah:Personally I know if I take a break it will never happen so I am just going to keep trudging on!

I will be honest with you I know people who passed at 265 and I know people who did not pass at 265. There is no way to know until the Board posts your results. Good Luck!

There is part of your motivation right there! You need to make a decision that you will not be paying $600 for a remediation class. Not to mention the motivation to be the nurse that you have trained to be:up: I can understand the frustration you hav...

I'm a prime example to this question. I graduate May 13, 2009. I took a position 1 hour and 15 minutes away because all of the facilities closer have a hiring freeze. I thought a job was better than no job at all:twocents:

I graduate May 13th and start orientation May 26th. In VA we can work as graduate nurse for 90 days. My plan is to take the NCLEX in June and have already been training.

Thank you everyone! I have been doing practice questions and studying for the regular nursing tests. Sometimes my brain feels fried;) I am going to keep studying. I also am signed up to take the Kaplan Review May 18-22nd.

I also graduate in May. I can tell you here in Southwest VA that there are definitely not enough New Grad positions. The folks who haven't started applying are really going to have a tough time:(

I have but I am applying to the RN-BSN program. I will graduate this May with my ADN.

I say if it doesn't interfere with your nursing position and you can't get in trouble with the BON then do what makes you happy. I'm not going to judge you as it is not my position to do so. You have to do what you think is best for you and not worry...

Take a deep breath! Do some practice problems and do not speed through them. Make sure your answer is complete before moving to the next question. You can do this and you will do this:) You have come too far to let nerves get you now! Just remain cal...

Well my interviews all went really well! Today the recruiter called I was offered a job on 3 different floors at the hospital. I am going to be working on a med/surg floor specializing in Acute Care of the Elderly. So for all of the stay at home Moms...

I have 2 interviews tomorrow for New Grad positions. Do you all think no work history will hinder my chances of getting a position? I have been a stay at home Mom of 4 kids for years and so I do not have any recent job experience at all:confused: I c...

Thank you so much for your replies everyone! I do indeed have my Clinical Instructors down as references too. I guess I am just a little nervous since I haven't had to interview anywhere in a blue moon:chuckle
