RNindmaking

Hi! I am a new Rn in Nevada. I'm so upset because no hospital is hiring a new RN. :-( I'm starting to become hopeless. How are nurses in your state specially the novice nurses? Please help me.. I need to have a job so badly.

I believe that nclex-rn is hard. I just wonder why some people say nclex is easy after passing the exam when they say it's hard right after the test? Or maybe, the questions which were given to them were not that hard. I think they were the fortunate ones,were'nt they?.. I already passed nclex on my second try. I took it the first time without much giving attention with content. It was fine, i just laughed at it.. But I am sure to myself that i am capable of passing it the next time around. The CPA board that i took few years ago was way harder than nclex. But I still say nclex is hard and like us, you can also pass. The second time, i studied content and i answered thousand of questions. I think, to pass nclex, study content and improve test taking skills. Remember, there's a lot of questions that can be given to you in the exam, you need test taking skills/strategies if a certain unfamiliar disease,dx,drug,etc..will be given to you. But sometimes, you cannot really figure out the correct answer without knowing the content. Even kaplan's strategies won't work. Prayer is still the most powerful to pass nclex. Remember, God listens to our prayers. He gives to us the license we're praying for at the right time. If He didn't give it to you the first,second,third,fourth time, I'm sure He will give it to you at the right time. Have faith!

After i applied online, i received emails saying "We are pleased you would consider joining our dynamic, entrepreneurial team. Your resume has been forwarded to the recruiting team assigned to your chosen job. If you are among the candidates selected to interview, you will be contacted directly by one of our recruiters regarding the process and timing." As of now, all i can do is pray pray pray... I don't know how long should i wait for their call. I just hope they will... What about you? Did you apply at Valley? I hope we can a job soon... It sucks.. So depressing knowing that so many entry level RNs are still jobless.

haven't tried nursing homes in vegas yet... but i don't think i would want to work in Henderson. :stone

Definitely not true!(nonsense at all).. If you hear/read issues like this,call directly California BON or better go to their website.

I passed nlcex-rn last august. I also live in Vegas but I am an international graduate.I took the California board and i already applied for my reciprocity. I have my temporary license here in Vegas already. I passed my resume only this week. But what makes me upset is that whenever i see the job qualifications they are hiring experienced RNs! What about us entry-level RNs? I also have two friends who passed for 3-5 months now and are still unemployed. Do you think we have chances of getting hired since we don't have work experience as RN? I badly need to get a job..

I agree with KAYBDT. It depends with the questions that will be given to the test taker. I just don't understand other people. After the test they say, "OMG it's so hard, i'm sure i failed". After they passed, they will say, "it's not hard at all. it's not as hard as what i expected...ect.etc..." But i will say, it's hard/confusing/tricky. There are more hard questions than easy questions... You'll definitely pass if you prepared well. content+strategies+prayers=PASSED Goodluck!

Thanks! I sent them my resume already but i am not sure if they will even consider it. .. Guys,where can i find RN job? i'm so hopeless right now.. I feel like all hospitals closed their doors for entry level nurses.

Did you try the trick yet? If you passed,you will see your name in Ca BON after 3 working days.(except saturday and sundaY) Good luck!

ujones00, congratulations! :nurse: rns rock!

hi! I also failed on my first try and i knew i would fail before the test. I lack content when i took nclex the first time, i only focused on strategies like physical vs psychosocial, abc & maslows of kaplan. After i got the letter that i failed,i just smiled and told myself nclex-rn is not as hard as the cpa board exam. i made sure the next time i face the nclex, i would be ready enough. I answered thousands of questions and read the kaplan coursebook. I answered saunders 4th ed cd,kaplan qbank & kaplan trainers,exam cram & la charity. This time i made sure i knew a lot of content and knew when strategies work. Combination of content and strategies will make you pass nclex-rn. And the most powerful tool, prayers!!! goodluck! if we passed nclex-rn and so you can..

I also had 265 questions when i took it in aug.21st. I only had 10-12 SATA and 10-12 calculations. You can never tell if you passed or failed because you cannot tell if the questions are above passing or below passing. Hang in there. It's always possible to pass at 265. I was certain i failed after the test. But God is really good,i saw my name in CaBON which means i passed. Just pray,hope and don't worry. God Bless! Miss. BSN,RN

:spnngwlcm:*winecongratulations!!!

I've been in your shoes! i took all the 265 questions as well. I went out of the testing room feeling that i bombed the test. My head was going to explode anytime. For 5 days i was certain i failed until i saw my name in CaBON website. It's always possible to pass 265 questions. Hang in there..Pray pray pray.. God bless!
