1. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

   debsuztx replied to debsuztx's topic in New Nurse

   I don't think it really matters if you have an ADN or BSN. Well, except for one hospital that told them they prefer hiring BSN's over ADN's, but would hire an ADN with 6 months experience. This hospital is one of the best in Houston and I guess they...

2. The most horrible things instuctor's say...

   debsuztx replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in New Nurse

   I had one instructor tell me to "re-think my career choice." And another one basically tell me "I wasn't SMART enough to be a nurse." Well, I showed them. I went on to get my LVN, and just recently graduated from my Transition program to get my RN...

3. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

   debsuztx replied to debsuztx's topic in New Nurse

   Still nothing on the horizon! I have heard of internships for new grads, but most of them started right after I graduated. I did see one for St. Lukes, but my HESI score wasn't high enough for them. I have applied to St. Lukes, Memorial Hermann, Me...

4. Trouble Finding a Job as New Graduate??

   debsuztx posted a topic in New Nurse

   Just wanted to ask the many of you that have just graduated that didn't obtain jobs before you graduated if you are having any difficulty finding a job? I just started looking and I am running into the theme of "you don't have any experience as an R...

   debsuztx posted a topic in NCLEX

   I am trying to remain calm, think positive, and do something other than study at this point. It's really great to see all of the postings regarding the NCLEX and how SO many people felt after taking it; now, if I can just remember that tomorrow. An...

   debsuztx replied to AnaBanana12's topic in NCLEX

   Hey AnaBanana12! I'm in the same boat as you. I take the test on Monday at 8 am. At this point, all you can do is pray and put it in God's hands. I have studied till I think I can't study anymore. Yesterday, I had done so many questions, that I ...

    debsuztx replied to JKostok's topic in NCLEX

    BLUEYESOFTEXASNURSE: I just love that screen name! PearsonVue does post on both Saturdays and Sundays from what I've been told from other classmates. It's supposed to be 48 hours from when you took your test. Hope this helps.

11. I got 77...does that seem odd?

    debsuztx replied to augirl4ever's topic in NCLEX

    I am come to realize I don't think it matters what the number is. The reason I say this is because I have talked to or emailed classmates that have had the following numbers: 75 (yes, many get this number), 170, 261, 265 (yes, some got this many). ...

12. Anesthesia, memory loss and the NCLEX!

    debsuztx posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hello to all that have tested and PASSED! How exciting. I had to post something because I'm about to come out of my skin and need some words of encouragement, etc. I graduated in May, took the Kaplan review course at the end of May, had an Abdomin...

13. Just Took the NCLEX

    debsuztx replied to ebkayaker's topic in NCLEX

    I'm not sure about California, but in Texas the Board posts names on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. So if you took your boards on Wednesday it wouldn't show up until the following Tuesday. That was what happened to me when I took my LVN boards. Mayb...

14. Will results from Pearson/NCLEX come on Saturday?

    debsuztx replied to Karmi's topic in NCLEX

    Just printed my ATT and the Quick Results Service information. It states, Please wait two business days after your test before you request your results. I wouldn't consider Sunday because they don't test on Sundays. I have a classmate who took it ...

15. Why not let me have a PCA?

    debsuztx replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in General Nursing

    I am so GLAD someone posted this thread. I have been wondering this very same question. I am having a laprascopic hysterectomy this coming Tuesday and will meet with my OB/GYN on Monday to go over my procedure, ask questions, labwork, etc. I'm thi...
