Followup incase anyone ever has the same issue: It all worked out and I was able to start IVs, insert foleys & do lab draws.

Hi ? Nine weeks ago I fractured my tib/fib at the ankle. I had to have an ORIF. I had only just started a new job six weeks prior to the break. I was given a relocation bonus. Doctor cleared me for weight bearing 4 days ago & I am getting more concerned about if or when I will ever be able to go back to the bedside. I know its only been 4 days and I need to give it more time. I'm concerned that if I'm unable to go back to working in the hospital that I will have to repay the relocation. Is anyone familiar with this type of thing? I'm already financially hurting because of the fracture. Any advice?

Tele CHI St Lukes.

I got offered 35.72 in the TMC with 2.5 years experience.

OP So you happen to work for Healthtrust in Tampa? The reason I ask is because you can take a travel assignment through Healthtrust to the Bay area (not Sacramento) pay is like 65-70/hr with OT starting at 8 hours. I live outside of Orlando and really want to test the waters & possibly relocate in the future.

Hi! I'm a Med-Tele RN in Central Florida with 2 PRN jobs. My husband and I are debating on moving to either Atlanta or Houston. I cant seem to easily find and published per diem/prn pay ranges in the Atlanta metro. Specifically for Healthtrust? Does anyone know what the typical PRN wages are? Thanks so much!

I'm a millenial (1986) an have been an RN for 1 year. I'm not sure if its because I went to school in a very diverse nursing program, or because I went to an HBCU, but on the topic of diversity I have been shocked at how many experienced RNs working the floor are just so unimformed about different cultures. I've seen nurses make different comments without even having enough insight as to how culture effects patient behaviors or family grieving practices. So if these new young nurses are going to be more sensitive and culturally aware I welcome them.

So I sat for NCLEX on 6/15 @ 8 AM. My results didn't post on FL BON until the late afternoon on 6/16. So if anyone is wondering sometimes they don't batch out in the morning & also like poster said above for some people there is a glitch and it seems for most license # is up the next day.

Wow so FL license are posting within 24 hours?

I thought we are not allowed to "dump" info on the white board like lab values

I dropped the ATI Virtual Coach as well. She seemed so robotic.

I felt like this yesterday and pushed my test back by 1 more day in a panic. Today I feel more confident. Here is why. Prior to UWORLD I did Ch 1-6 in LaCharity and was averaging 50% I took a break from LaCharity, have been doing UWORLD for 2 weeks straight. 75% percentile 58% overall. -panick ensued. Today I started LaCharity again and I'm now 78%-90% on Ch 7-8! Calm Down. The anxiety seems to come in waves.

Ugh. Its taking that long for License to post. Sigh.

I also did ATI for my BSN program. I got a 92%:on the predictor. I'm using UWORLD + LaCharity to study for NCLEX and I prefer it much more.

^^Sounds like you should test TOMORROW. LOL.

Congrats on having it over with! I wouldn't be embarassed to have it cut off at 90. I will be the 1st in my class to take it as well.

Your 1st post mad me panic because I too noticed a drop off in "UWORLD is sooo awesome" posts between the old NCLEX test plan in 2016 and the new one. Glad to hear that you passed!

I test 6/14.

Congrats!!! I just had a baby during my final semester and I test in 19 days!! I'm also relying on UWORLD because it seems,like a safer bet!

I got offered a job, the 1st one I applied to, about 45 min. outside of Orlando & I'm coming from out of state. It can be done. Just not in S FL.

I graduate on May 12th with my BSN. I found out I was pregnant last May and had a Cesarean Section Jan 3rd of this year. I was back in class by January 17th, back in the clinical setting by Jan 25th (practicum). While I was pregnant I walked ALL over from one clinical site to another (Community Health) with my books, backpack and change of clothes. I had no car. I also waited tables through to the end. I'm now 9 hours shy of being done with my practicum, all my major assisgnments are done and I have a healthy 3 month old! Oh and not to humblebrag but my baby is Exclusively Breast Fed. A classmate of mine had a baby lady partslly and was back in class 4 days later. Nursing is not for the faint of heart. Chic, you are a warrior, you can do this. P.S. the hardest part was being pregnant in school not having the newborn in school

Thanks KUNewgrad ! I will call on Monday! Did you fly in to interview or did they allow a skype interview?

Hi All! UNC is my #1 choice but I'm out of state. Do they prefer local candidates? I see they are staggering it so that they have new grads starting all the way through October. I got an email that all of my documents were submitted and I'm under consideration. I wonder how many new grads they're hiring this year?

Hi! Old thread, but I have a question. I'm out of state, applied for this years,residency. How competitve is it? Do they recruit a lot of GNs from out of state? Thanks!

Hi Independentkitty, I am also an out of state applicant applying for the Aug cohort, for Postpartum. Good Luck to you!
