I would look into the policy. I am per diem but I can go to the union representative for clarification. Did you meet your quota for the day in question or did you move cases around? We are allowed to leave the field once we have seen our cases. Is it a per week quota or daily? We have to see a minimum of 35, 7 per day, but you may see 4 today and 10 tomorrow.but it shouldn't matter if you saw your planned cases. I just know they value SOC and don't want you to say no to new cases. What I have done when I have an appointment is to say I'm leaving the field early next Tuesday and all my cases are covered. I would really look into the policy to cover yourself.

Do you have a union? I'm in NY and we have a union. I have never been asked to do a SOC late in the day only in emergency and then that would be a revisit and someone would do the SOC the next day.

I finished the program in Feb 08. Many people including myself had families. It is hectic but definitely doable. Time management is important. You can do it!!!!

beckinben, Hello just wondering what state you live? I wonder does that determine the ability to deliver.

Hello CNMNY, I know this is off topic but I was wondering have you practice as a midwife? This is what my heart wants but I was wondering what are the career options out there? Thanks for any info

I would call to make sure everything is in order. I kept calling and when I asked to speak to a supervisor it was resolved within 4 hours. My app was dated June 30 and I finally received it on Sept 7. Only because I called them. I think when they first look at the app if something is wrong they put it to the side and do not look at it again unless you are persistent.

You might want to give them a call to see if there is a hold up. There was a snag in mine and until I called and asked for a supervisor it was not going to be handled. I was given the run around. The day I ask for one he did not come to the phone but did call back 4 hours later with my license number.

I called today to find out what is going on with my license. They received my application on June 30th. I went through an accelerated program in NC and we finished our course work in Feb and most of my class took our boards in April. So they said they need to research how I took my boards prior to graduation. Our diplomas are dated May 10th. I am wondering why is this suspicious. Can't this be solved by a quick call to the NCBON. What is the big deal when I already have a NC license. I needed to vent. I am ready for this to be solved.

I am really nervous. I want to move back to NY to save money (move back home). So as an outsider I may have touble finding something. I have only been a nurse since April and working since May. I want to move by Dec. But I do not want to move without a job. I am currently in NC.

I graduted from the accelerated program. Yes they are unorganized but I had a friend who went to UNC's accelerated program and said the same thing. They have a good pass rate. Duke's program is good but you have to pay tuition up front and then have to work it off over three years. UNC gives you money up front to pay tuition but it is very competitive and they only take around 60 people. They get more than 300 applications and want you to have community service. WSSU use to fund everyone and you had to work at Wake Forest Baptist now they only fund 30 and the rest have to come up with money on their own.

Hello, I am in NC and have been reading your post. I am a new graduate with no experience. I start work tomorrow. Is it a requirement to have experience before you get a NY endorsement license. I am in lots of school loan debt and thought I may move to NY to live with my Dad to pay off bills. How much do new nurses make up there?

I finished with an accelerated program and I hate the debt but I am happy to be a nurse. I had to take an extra $20,000 to live off of

I felt the same way before my test. I woke up early and prayed and before I started my test I prayed. I was cool up to question 25 then started to freak out. I just meditated and refocused. I had test anxiety throghout school as well. I also was nauseous everytime I thought about the NCLEX. I would just think of a happy thought like being on the beach. I did pass so prayer and positive thoughts do work.

my classmate took it on friday and stopped between 160-167. she passed. the # of quest do not matter

I feel if it was a one time fee people would not take it as seriously. I know that I am taking it very seriously because I do not want to have to pay again or be one of my classmates that do not make it.
