thank you preeps for all those pieces of information.... you really are a big help... so in your opinion, its better to start at PCU floor as a new grad RN and then move up to ICU later on? by the way, what is telemetry... what do they do there? how about in med-surg... do I need start from there or just PCU would be fine if my target is ICU/CCU later? thanks alot for sharing your info. as a new grad RN, Im confused on where to go... you know I mean... and by the way, are you now working at Florida Hospital in the ICU or CCU? How did you start out as a new grad.. from there also? thanks alot again and agian preeps!!! Have a wonderful day!!! God bless you!!!!

Hi, chingy1206... Congratulations!!!!! how are you doing... how is your work at NICU at Florida Hospital? Im interested in Florida Hospital... Im a new grad RN.. and I would like to know what are their requirements for the new grad RN in those places like NICU?ICU/CCU? So, do you have to have CPR or ACLS or IV Theraphy training first before you're hired? or the hospital will give us taining for all that once we're already hired? thanks alot chingy1206 for your concern and kind reply.... this will help me alot.. and best of all in your career and God bless you!!!

Thanks alot for your reply! You are?! Me too.. I graduated from the Philippines. Oh really.. okay, yes I will check it out to confirm that. and by the way, what is CES? Is it the same with the "Mandatory Continuing Education-CE?" and how can I avail that? and How did you do your endorsement process? Is it like... we have to sent the "Nursing License Verification Request" form and the $60 to CA board and they will be the one to sent it to FL board, am I right? Thank you in advance for your concern and help.... this meant alot to me... and Im really happy to find someone like you.... I just hope I could endorse it to FL without having to work first in the CA... anway I'll check that out. Have a wonderful day!! May God bless you!! Take Care Po!!

Hello nursedandy.. I would like to know if you're US graduate or foreign graduate? becasue, Im a foreign graduate who had my initial licensure in California board. and now, I would like to endorse it to Florida board. I would like to know if CES is actually required to endorse in Florida board, because I already have my California license. thank you soo much for your kind reply. this will be really helpful for me. May God bless!!!

Thank you again Preeps!!! Yes I understand what you mean. So in your own opinion, from what you observed about the new grad RN, Is it good to go right into ICU/CCU? or Is there any other floors that will better prepare us for ICU/CCU... so that it won't be too much to the learning process, etc.? thanks again and again... Im really learning from you!!! May God bless!!!

thank you prodigladaughter!!!! just keep praying and praying and believe that God will help you pass the exam. and that's what i did too. ofcourse with the hard work too... and please remember this: PRAYER + FAITH + HUMAN EFFORT = MIRACLE

Thank you Preeps for your reply!!!! Yes, I will call the HR there and ask about it. oh so you mean like, when the FL. Hosp. hire us, they will offer the Critical Care Nursing Internship Program. and if we make it,we can work at ICU or CCU? so Is there something like not make it.... then will they give us more training or we can't work anymore at ICU? and by the way, what is PCU? what is the difference of PCU, ICU, CCU? thank you so much for answering my questions... its a big help to me. May God bless you!!! Take care..

Thanks for your time and concern in advance!!!!

dear allnurses, i would like to share my joy with you all... i just found out awhile ago that i passed my NCLEX-RN exam... i found my name and my license number posted in the BRN!!!! To God BE ALL The Glory!!!!! and thank you soo much allnurses for alll the support and insight i gained from reading this site. and to those who are still waiting for your result--relax! and to those who passed congratulation and good luck in the career! and to those who are taking the exam soon-- study, relax, pray alot!!!

i just took my NCLEX-RN Exam today. and i don't know what to expect... really its 50-50 chance. im just happy that i finally finished taking the exam... but ofcourse nervous about the outcome. I got100 questions and took about 2:45 hrs. i have no calculations, 2 SATA, 3-5 pharma, and others are on safety, infection control, priority. I know that the time we spent taking test and the number of question doesn't have any bearing on the result. How about the level of difficulty? Does it mean that longer question means difficult and shorter question mean easier one?? cos, i feel that everytime i got a short question, i feel that i got wrong on the previous question, and everytime i got the correct one, the next question would get longer... and now im really anxious over my exam... because i got like some short questions before my exam finally ended.

Congratulations ChrisLady for passing the NCLEX RN!!! thanks for sharing your exam experience & good luck in your nursing career ahead! How I wish I could experience that PASS too!!! and I really like the Prayer that your mom gave you before the exam.. Im going to write it down and recite it as I go to take my exam. and, NJayne17.. you will also take your NCLEX PN exam on Feb. 23rd? Same with me... I'll also take my NCLEX RN exam on that day... and Oh boy! Im so nervous... but Im trying to calm myself down, relax and pray and pray.... I just pray for the Lord to be with Us.. all those taking the NCLEX RN/PN exam.... and be succeed as God wanted us to be.
