I know the amount of questions does not indicate a pass or fail, and I've read it over and over again on this website. But... I can't help my self. I CAN'T TELL HOW I DID ON THE TEST!

Hi everyone, I realize that I am new to the nursing field and my clinical rotations do not count towards experience BUT... I am so frustrated with the same response "one year of experience required" Uh, helllllo. I've tried all types of healthcare re...

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

The problem is that you have to deny the fact that you are an LPN at the hospitals here in upstate NY. I've applied at 4 of the major hospitals and the response I rec'd (not all exactly the same but you'll get the drift), We will not hire an LPN for ...

I've recently signed up with excelsior to complete my RN. They have accepted a lot of my credits from my associates in accounting making it alot easier and shorter for me to get my RN. But... Am I going to experience the same job search frustration a...

So totally true. So here I am. I guess misery loves company (or at least a little "keep your head up") Thanks Yvette

I am glad that you mentioned that. I owe a nurse manager a thank you. She gave me 15 mins of her time giving me pointers on my resume. I think she knew I was frustrated. She was one of the first ones to give me the "lack of experience" comment. But s...

A fellow student who is in dire straits for a a job applied for a CNA position at a large hospital in our area in order to get in. He said that he had to omit the fact that he had an LPN license or they wouldn't hire him. This is a horrible position ...

If thats the case then I'm in a terrible position. I don't know anyone in the healthcare field. UGH!

I live in the Hudson Valley Region of New York. There are a lot of places to work besides the hospitals. I've learned to get creative as far as where to apply. I've also made calls to find out who in particular would be receiving my resume. I even we...

Hi All, I am interested in the Excelsior nursing program and I've received confirmation that at least 27 of my associate degree credits will transfer. I feel my head spinning... I just spent the last three days comparing the following three test p...

Thanks Lisa, It makes financial sense to go directly through EC. And as I stated earlier, I am comfortable with the online learning venue. I'm comfortable setting and sticking to a scedule. btw, lpnmaura, that would be an excellent way to monitor ho...

i called ec directly and they went through it step by step (1.5 hours on the phone). i went online and downloaded the fee schedule too. turns out to be almost half of what the test prep svcs are charging, with alot more support. thanks for your input...

lol, I'm w/ you MOMTOJOSH. I couldn't stop reading the (Luke & Laura drama) posts. Yvette 2:twocents:

btw, Thank you... Yvette 2:twocents:

That's what I was thinking. The 3 test prep co's made everything sound so good. Yvette 2:twocents:

Thanks for the heads up SilverDragon102 I found it.

I am searching for an old thread I read (before I signed up). It listed all the different certifications that an LPN can get. If any one remembers (or if anyone can direct me), please respond. Also, is there a specific site on the Web that I can go ...

I woke up this morning to breakfast in bed, telephone calls to wish me "happy birthday nurse yvette" and I was surrounded by my family. Around 12:00PM my mail carrier knocked at our door (which never happens since our driveway is so far from the roa...

City or State?

Am I jumping the gun? :redpinkhe I took my NCLEX on Wednesday, February 23 @ 11AM. Yvette

Take a REST DAY before your TEST DAY! and relax. Let us know... Yvette 2 Cents

I concentrated totally on the Saunders and the CD that came with it. I also went online to all the free question banks I could find. Good Luck Yvette 2 Cents
