I am BSN, RN here in NJ. I had my BSN taken in the Philippines. I was trying to transfer my license to CA and they sent me the deficiency letter last Sept 2014 with 3 years deadline. Can anyone advise me what to do? I am planning to move to CA next y...

I understand that its hard for us new hirees to complain about it because jobs are scarce nowadays. On your orientation ask questions and take down notes, learn as much as you can in the 2 days given to you. I understand its hard to grasp and digest ...

Maybe it will take a month or two before they'll call you. Don't loose hope but don't dwell too much on it as well. I have applied online yesterday. Im not sure though if I qualify because for now I still don't have a NY license, Im license in NJ by ...

Hi CP1983, How was your application with AMC? Any updates? I have send my application online today. Im just wondering if how long did they call you after sending in your application?

I had my CES evaluation in July 2012. I just sent a photocopy of my HS diploma to CGFNS. I mailed it myself, not from my HS school.

The job market is tough for all nurses like what traumaRUs had said. Besides that, most nursing schools/universities here in the US are affiliated with hospitals and most of the hospitals are hiring their own graduates (esp. in the new RN graduate p...

Hi HellooNurse90, Did u went thru a group interview, too? What are we supposed to do in what they call as the "Assessment Center"? Is that some kind of a training & return demonstration sort of thing? Is the $15/hour for RNs with BSN? That is way...

Hello royam1984, I got a call from PSA here in NJ and will soon have an interview with a panel. I would like to know how your interview went? And what were the usual questions? The HR also talked about having to undergo a training as well next month...

Congratulations but for your peace of mind, I suggest there's a thread for that criminal history background something in this site. Try to browse it and you might find some relevant & significant answers from all others who have the same experien...

From the looks of it, I guess you have higher chance of getting the job! Congratulations! I have a question, how many weeks apart was your first interview from your second interview? How long after did they call you? Im asking because I had my interv...

Hello CourtneyH, any updates from your application? In my end, I still haven't received a call from the DON although I talked with one of the staffs and she told me that the DON told her that she was gonna call me today. Im still waiting for that ca...

Congratulations! There is HOPE for us who are currently looking for a job.

Hi CourtneyH, have you finally landed a job on any of those 3 you mentioned? I also had my interview last Aug 31 on a LTC and the interview with the DON went well, I guess. She photocopied my RN license, drivers license and SSN for background check a...

I hear you. I am on the same boat with you. The situation is just the same here in NJ. I applied here and there and still haven't landed a job. Have you tried applying as a flu shots nurse? I just had my interview last month. I'm not sure if I am hir...

I had my first job interview last Friday. The interview with the DON went well. In fact, she gave me a little overview about their facility and even requested another nurse to tour me around their facility. She told me if its alright with me to be in...

thanks for the reply jwobtinalla. I am hoping that they will give me a call tomorrow. I've read a lot of threads already that a lot of people didn't really get a call from employers as promised. Well perhaps the DON or Human Resource can sometimes be...

Congrats! I wish I will have the same fate as you two. Pass the exam at 75! Im still having my review at Kaplan now. Just started last July 1. And I was so disappointed of myself coz I only got 53% on my diagnostic test. I guess I really need to work...

You have to wait for your Phil. license to come out which would take 3-4 months or even more than that. PRC wont issue you the Licensure Verification form from VT if you dont have a copy of your PRC ID yet. I also had the same dilemma as you way back...

Goodluck! Breathe!

I've heard stories about nurses denied of US tourist visas by the US consul at the US embassy during interview. They dont easily grant tourist visas to nurses. I did not know they would now ask questions like "what's your occupation?, or what's your ...

i got mine last year too. it cost me 300. and it was only made of pink cartolina.

If your taking the local board (NLE) i suggest you use Udan's books. But if your taking NCLEX, use Saunder's & Suzanne's study guide. But if you are still a student, I suggest you have to read your textbooks. That way, the theories are more detai...

I heard that St. Louis NCLEX review would cost you P15k. And Millenium PRN would cost about P15k also. Kaplan would cost P23k for 3 months. But I suggest you take Kaplan.

If you know somebody from a hospital facility, perhaps you can work as a shadow nurse, without being paid of course! But I'm not sure if that qualifies & be counted as a hospital experience. That's what my friend is doing right now to while away ...

Happy job hunting! I heard the Nov. 2008 NLE result will be released first week of Feb. Goodluck!
