  1. Waiting for NCLEX Results

    FizzgigRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I want to throw up. I took my boards on the 7th (two days ago) and I have no idea how I did. It doesn't look good. I ran out of time at 260 questions, so the computer shut off. I can't seem to do...

    FizzgigRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey guys, O.k. I'm super frustrated. I'm currently negotiating salaries, benefits, etc. with two hospitals. Whatever happened to sign-on bonuses, relocation and negotiating salaries? I'm just not...

    LLG, I understand where you're coming from in regards to experience, but if another hospital is offering more, there is a ground for negotiation. I also wouldn't be "angry". I would accept the...

    FizzgigRN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    HI, For those who are or have worked for Gambro or Davita, do they hire new grads? Just curious. Also do you think a new grad should start somewhere else in order to prepare for a career in dialysis?...
