Hello, I have a choice of choosing between two jobs. The first one is as the Director of an LPN program, and the second one is as full time faculty in an ADN program. The director position has a wider range of responsibilities, but the faculty positi...

Thanks for your response. it was not possible to shadow either pjobs. I have made a decision for the faculty position. Thank you so much.

I am hoping I can get some responses to this from people who are familiar with the Hospital in the Houston area. I am interviewing with St. Luke's as a graduate nurse and also at Clear Lake Regional. St. Lukes is offering only Med/Surg and I have a...

I took the NCLEX on Tuesday May 31,2005. I checked the Texas BNE website this morning and I have a license already. Yeah!!! I was not sure at all when I left the test how I had performed. If you are in Texas, you do not need to pay Pearson Vue any m...

I have been under the impression that med/surg experience is the most valuable. Am I right?

In answer to your question: I recorded some of the audio on audiotapes.(Don't have a cd burner) and listened to them in the car. Secondly, I think the Kaplan strategies in combination with Hurst content review will benefit you. I found the Kaplan qu...

When I checked my result yesterday, I read somewhere there that they don't tell whether someone failed or not. All they show is whether or not a license has been issued in someone's name. Has your friend truly verified from Pearson Vue? I am hoping...

I left the exam feeling like I had been to combat. I did not start to feel better about the test until 24 hours later when I had time to think about some of the questions and my answer choices. So, hang in there and you might begin to feel better t...

. Congrats!

I found out today too that I passed. Congratulations!!!!

Boy was it hard to predict!! It shut off at 76. I wanted it to go on. I felt like saying..."Wait, I need to prove that I know this stuff." Anyway, I don't know if I'll do the quick results in 2 days. My friend got her license 4 days after the test....

Did you go back over the tapes again and again? Or did you take notes the first time and didn't revisit? If you used Sanders or something else in conjunction, in what order or fashion did you do it? I have been listening to the videos online. I just...

You've been PM'ed. Interview went well. Phase 2 tomorrow.

Thanks. I appreciate your help. I was thinking maybe they are trying not to have too many new grads in ICU. But still, I would love a chance to be one of those new grads they hire. Hope you find out something good :)

I got an e mail from the nurse recruiter telling mre that all they are offering right now is Med/Surg or OR. Quite a few of my classmates actually wanted ICU, since we di a preceptorship there and loved it in the ICU there. I don't know what's going...

You've been PM'ed.

I graduatewith a BSN in May. Needless to say, the job fairs are beginning to come. I am sort of torn regarding which hospital to choose. There are many hospitals in the Houston Medical Center. However, there are a few hospitals that are closer to...

I am graduating in Mayand the reason I am thinking about med surg is because I feel that it will provide an opportunity to synthesize all the stuff I have "learned" in bits and pieces in nursing school. What do you think?

I finish school in may. My children are 8 and 6. They were homeschooled until this current school year. I went into nursing for the flexibility so I can pull the children back home. Now as I look for work, it's appearing that the first year of a gr...

I am about to graduate BSN in May. I fell like I really don't know anything. I am afraid I might end up being a "fake nurse". Everyone tells me that you don't become a nurse until you work as a nurse. However, I fell like I don't remember a thing ...

I will graduate in May and I am trying to get as much information as possible before I commit to any one hospital. So, how long did you stay at your first job as a nurse? If you have left, why did you leave? Thanks.

I just wanted to know what atera of nursing you are employed in, since you love it. Plus, in what area of Texas are you located? I am in the Houston area.

I have started linking back up with a few of my former classmates who have their own law firms. I might get a gig or two when I am ready.

I had been wondering the same thing. Do you think it will be perceived as a bad reflection on me if I move to a small hospital after internship?

I am graduating from a one year BSN in May. Yes, we all have a previous degree prior to nursing school. Regarding clinical hours, there is a minimum required by the Board of Nursing, and we have been told that by the time we graduate in May, we wil...
