I am applying for new grad positions and one has a group interview -- a group of nurse managers/HR people interview up to 6 new grads. I am wondering what it will be like. Will they give us some...
I applied for this also. Just got my NJ license and sent it to them, so haven't gotten accepted yet. How about you? I sent some emails to students graduating and got back about 5 replies. They were...
Thank you both! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am going to contact them, from my research I think that is the type of hospital I want to work in. I just moved to NJ from the South, but I...
I graduated in May and then we moved to New Jersey from the South (my husband was transferred). It's been a big adjustment, especially for my two children. I decided not to start working until...
I just did it. I took my NCLEX this morning and only got 75 q's which is a good sign of passing. I worked for 21 years for a giant multi-national company, I am a CPA but I worked in IT most of my...
Thanks for the info -- but I have to say, I do think it's better to be able to start work as a GN at a GN rate of pay and responsibility instead of being an intern or tech. Especially since 88% of us...
Hi, I am in the process of working my way through all the license by exam steps having just graduated out of state and moving to NJ. I have my ATT finally, and have scheduled my NCLEX. I had my...
I understand why you felt like you failed, I just read all the details on the NCLEX web site about adaptive testing and now I understand it. They take the questions to the difficulty point where you...
I am doing the Sauders books - the regular one with content and tests and the other just Questions book. I will complete them both by Friday when I test. But I haven't touched the CDs that came with...
Of 110 that started, 16 graduated on time. I would estimate 50 are a semester or two behind from failing one of two very hard classes (Med-Surg II and OB). Pretty awful. Not from the state that I...
So what can a new grad expect? I will be in North Jersey (Hunterdon county) and won't be ready to work until September -- we are moving there this summer. Do you need to work FT pretty much? I want to...
I just applied to Drexel Online RN -> MSN. I'm bumping this thread up to see if you all have any updates. Please share. Is it hard to get into? I have good grades but I just graduated with ASN and...
HI -- I am in school in a far-away state. I just sent in all my stuff to get licensed and sit for the exam. I graduate in May and want to take the exam that same month. We move to NJ in early June and...
Thanks for all the feedback. NJ nurses rock! I will adjust my thinking about making it for the exam in May. June would be OK. I better get online and register for the fingerprinting for June! Yikes, 6...
Hi, I am attending an out-of-state school, set to graduate in May. I will move to NJ after that and want to get licensed in NJ. I have downloaded the forms but there is no DEADLINE date anywhere on...
Hi -- We are relocating to New Jersey right when I graduate with an ADN, my husband has been transferred. I am looking for a decent hospital to work in as a new grad, Med-Surg. We will live in...
Can anyone recommend a live NCLEX review seminar in Baton Rouge? I have looked at Hurst but they are not coming to Baton Rouge in December and I really don't want to drive to N.O. or Lafayette. But I...
HI, I am moving to Pennsylvania right after I graduate to Lehigh Valley area. I will have an ASN and would like to continue my education. Ideally, I'd like to do an RN-to-MSN program, but will do it...
I'm still in nursing school but I've had several acquaintances ask me about their rectal problems. I am always so amazed that they will ask me about something so personal and they don't even know me...
What certifications are required as a Peds floor nurse and as a Peds ER nurse? Specifically, PALS and ACLS (or the ped version of those). Also, can you get those while you're still in school or do...
