Congrats to you both!!!! YAY!

I just want to say that I've been job hunting for about 5 weeks and still have not received any offers for employment. I must say that alot of hospitals are on a hiring freeze!! -RN, BSN

Hi, I am very much interested in joining the Army Nurse Corps. I recently, passed NCLEX and was doing a new grad program, but resigned. I spoke with a recruiter today, but still wanted to speak with anyone personally who went throught this program...

I pray that you did well and will be able to celebrate this holiday season with no worries! Don't worry about not getting those type of questions. When I took the test the second time around I got 265 questions with none of those type of questions ...

I passed with 265 questions and no SATA!!!

I'm drowning in bills and student loans!!! I'm desperately looking for a part time job but no one is hiring. I'm looking at anything from pizza hut to target. I'm super stressed out and making by to pay rent, car note, insurance, bills, student loans...

Thanks for replying. Honestly, I can't afford to buy anything right now. My car note is only $200/month which is certainly not too bad. Finding a roommate isn't such a bad idea but I'm under a 12 month lease in a 1b/1b apartment.

I have recently resigned from my new grad internship because I felt that it was not a good fit for me. I was told that I would be transferred to a different unit and almost two weeks has passed and I have been getting the run a round from unit manag...

After mentioning to a few recruiters that I was previously in a new grad program, they have showed their disinterest in me because I "wasted" the time and money that my previous employer put in me. I pray that I find something soon.

Thanks for the responses. I'm holding tight. However, the tranfer is not a guarantee, they are only seeing what they can do. In the meantime I'm trying to find babysitting jobs to take care of rent and bills!

I am a new grad that just started working in the NICU about 3 months ago. I feel as though I'm being put back in my orientation program based on evaluation from the first preceptor. I'm really feeling frustrated and wondering if this is for me. I di...

Thanks for all the replies. I have since decided to resign from the NICU as I was very unhappy. I will see what the future holds.

All I can recommend is that she applied to job that has a new grad internship program. Not sure what healthcare organizations are in her area. But maybe she can try applying to hopspitals, nursing homes, clinics, doctor offices, etc. Get some experi...

Just saw your post and your probably already sleeping. But before boards I went to the spa and got a full body massage! It was awesome. Best thing is to do is pray and talk to God. Relax, sleep well, and surround yourself with positive vibes until y...

Pray. Trust God. Have faith. The first time I took NCLEX I had 155 questions and left testing site like I didn't know anything. I retested and had 265. After I reached question 76, I spoke with God and told Him that I am going to put my trust in ...

I've been an RN for less than a month and I'm reconsidering whether this is for me or not. I've always wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl, and now that my dream has come true, I don't feel comfortable doing what I do. I'm thinking about w...

Yes, I am very much scared to death annd scared of losing my license. I've been reading alot of threads that suggest getting out before it's too late. Basically going into insurance or something that pay more and is less stressful.

hi, i'm a new grad in the nicu. graduated with bsn in june, passed boards on the second try with 265. reconsidering bedside nursing and thinking about a clinic setting. feeling overwhelmed and extremely anxious every time i think about going into wo...

I used it for 5 weeks and passed. However, I also used Saunders 4th ed and NCLEX 4000.

Momofthree, I'm so sorry to hear about your results. But don't give up! Take a well deserved week off from studying, get lots of rest, and get back on board with organizing a study plan. What were your previous plans before? What do you think need...

Meli, Thanks for responding. I'll let you know how things go. But I do know when mynew grad contract is up in 1 year I'm moving on to something. In the meantime, I just need to figure out what.

I plan on doing that tomorrow. I have overheard in the unit that there were a few new grads that they laid off because "they didn't make the cut". I really don't feel as though I fit into that category, but without the proper feedback, I honestly h...
