Hey brainkandy87! () Your situation sounds similar to mine! Hopefully after gaining good experience on the med-surg/tele unit I'll be confident and great with cardiac patients which will prepare me for the ER! Cardiac isn't my strongest subject eithe...

Hello my fellow Nurses! I'm confused . I interviewed for a Med/Surg/Tele position and after interviewing with several people, I was offered the job on the spot. Today, I had an interview for an ER position. I felt that the interview went pretty well ...

Hey WesClinicRN! I didn't get an offer from the ER...they wanted someone with experience b/c they had already hired several new grads/nurses a few months ago! :/ I hope I don't have trouble when I try switching! Seems like I probably will! Thank you...

Hey Scarlettz! Female intuition had a GREAT study method! Mine wasn't as organized as her's I just used the Kaplan online program...I did almost all the Q bank questions and too all 7 of the Q Trainer exams. I passed the first time as well with 265 q...

Thank you!!! I'm in Austin, TX! I graduated in December 2011 and was having a hard time finding a job and then out of the blue I got a few phone calls for interviews for a couple of positions all in like two weeks...it was very weird and unexpected ...

Thanks JesseJ! I actually accepted the med-surg/tele position! The ER was also looking for something with a little more experience than me. I'll look into transferring to the ER once I have worked for a few months! :] Glad the ER worked out well for ...

hiddencat, i replied to your post and i have no idea where it went! i wanted to thank you for your post! it was very helpful! i did get a better "vibe" from med-surg. the manager and staff just seemed nicer and i felt like i would fit in better with ...

Hey MyBSN! I'm posting here in hopes you see my comment and email me! I read ur message and I wrote out a long reply but couldn't send it b/c I don't have enough posts on this forum (LAME)! Please email me at [email protected] and I'll be more than w...

CONGRATS!! So happy for you!! So I just received a private message from one of the members..."MyBSN" and it's about the NCLEX I really want to help this person out but I can't reply b/c I don't have enough posts on this forum! This really sucks! MyB...

LunahRN, you certainly have much more experience than I do which makes me think maybe I should start with Med-Surg first. I understand with the ER, I will either love it or hate it!...thank you for the post! :]

You comment made me laugh b/c I like hiking, running, being on my toes but I also love sunsets, painting, baking, etc. :] I feel like I could fit in both jobs!

Thanks for the reply!! :) Having a 6 month ER experience..even as a student is very help and pretty awesome! I wish I had the opportunity to do that. Unfortunately, I need to let the managers know what I decide very soon so I will not have the chance...

Thank you so much for your post! It was helpful! I applied to both Seton and St. Davids. I really want to work for Seton. Do you have any tips on how I could possible increase my chances on getting interviewed for Seton? I got my license in the begin...

Thanks so much for the helpful information! I really want to work for Seton but it has gotten so competitive! There are about 350-400 new applicants for the June '12 Cohort. Any tips on how to get an interview?? Last semester I got interviewed out of...

Hey! I just took the NCLEX and I had 265 questions . Trust me, I felt the same when the computer didn't stop at 75! One thing I know for sure is the number of questions DOES NOT mean you passed of failed. I passed with 265 questions. I know people th...

YEY! So happy for you guys!!! Changes are needed sometimes!:cheers:

Hey FaithfulGod, I took the exam on Jan 30th. I got all 265 questions and it took me 5 hours to complete but I passed (Thank God!) Oh, and the PVUE trick worked for me as wel!! I did the Kaplan review. I did all of the question in the Q bank (there...

Praying for you guys!!! Wish you the best of luck! Ya'll can do it! I knew a nurse manager who told me she failed NCLEX the first time...she's AN AMAZING person and she's doing great things! The test doesn't determine how good of a nurse you're goin...

Hey guys, I saw that many of these posts are several years old so for an update...here is my situation! I took the NCLEX on Jan 30th. I got all 265 questions and it took me about 5 hours to complete :uhoh21:. It was the most nerve wrecking thing ever...

It's pretty competitive to find a job in TEXAS! It took one of my friend's almost a year to find a job, whereas another friend found one before she even graduated. But I've heard from several people finding a job is tough and they look to see if you ...

I agree with Jersery BSN, it's probably not an unusual finding. In fact, during my Neuro ICU rotation, I had a patient that had AVM and the nurse told me it's pretty common and people are born with AVM and it's not until their 30s-40s that they even ...

Hi guys!! I just had my nursing school orientation this week! I'm super excited!! I just need advice from you folks..Where is the best and most reasonable place to purchase my supplies? I need a bp cuff, pen light, scissors, stethoscope, things lik...
