  1. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    Just exactly where do you make 100K/yr as a nurse? NYC/ Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn and LI pay nurses fairly well and I know the starting salary at a hospital for an NP is 83K + benefits and you need a master's degree for that. So, I don't know...
  2. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    Hi again....sorry for the many posts. I have a suggestion for all posters. Would it be too much to ask all RNs who were able to secure employment to provide at least a city/state so that people who are considering relocation have an idea where to ...
  3. 2nd Career in Nursing

    While I agree with most of what leaner1108 stated above, in the NYC/LI area, several of my friends worked through school as a PCA (pt care associate or nurse aide), and were told to come back AFTER they passed NCLEX. No one was guaranteed or conside...
  4. 2nd Career in Nursing

    I agree with the previous posters. Nursing was also a second career for me and had long been a dream of mine for many years. I just never thought I had what it took to be a nurse, but in the end proved myself wrong. I gave up a good paying career ...
  5. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    Hi all, I live in the NY Metropolitan area and we've never heard of new grads having as difficult a time finding work as they have had until the Fall 2008 when the banking world collapsed. It was the first time in 5 yrs that not all new grads were ab...

  10. QT 7 - When to take?

    https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/passed-nclex-rn-400399.html There are threads like the one above where people have listed their Kaplan Qbank and Qtrainer scores. I havent' done Qtrainers 6 or 7 yet but on Qtrainer #1: 71%, Qtrainer #2: ...
  11. QT 7 - When to take?

    Hi...did you use Kaplan's alternate questions on-line with the complete study package? If so, was that enough? I also wanted to know if you went to CDC.gov for the infection control/PPE info? Thanks so much. My exam is on 3/4.
  12. My NCLEX Notes

    Hi...thanks so much for responding. Just tried again as I have all day and nothing opens up. Maybe it's my computer. Anyway, if you don't mind emailing them, it would be much appreciated. Congrats on passing and much success to you!

    It sounds like CONGRATULATIONS is in order! However, like the previous post stated, wait until you receive your official results. I'm taking NCLEX-RN on 3/4. Was it very difficult and what did you use to prepare? Thanks :-))
