So, I'm a New Grad RN working in Critical Care. I feel so overwhelmed and today was the first day I left work and cried all the way home. The Unit Secretary and some (but fortunately not all) of the other staff RN's are putting me through the ringer!...

I guess the feeling of wanting to break through to someone is because I want to have a work environment that I actually enjoy being in. We as nurses spend alot of time with each other. It would just be nice to be able to go to work feeling comforta...

You had Dr. **** for Kaplan review? So did I! She's great! Did you go to MSMC by chance?

Just curious if there has been an false positives.

My official results (I'm in Cali) were posted online this morning (@ 0400).....I am officially an RN! After taking the NCLEX on 1/26/11, I immediately and repeatedly did the PVT and got the "good pop-up." Not believing it was true, I wanted to wait f...

1. First as foremost, believe in yourself!! You were smart enough to get through nursing school and you will succeed at this, as well. Unfortunately, no matter how much you study, you cannot possibly learn everything. It's impossible. And you will ne...

Congrats to you, as well!! It's a great feeling, isn't it?!?

Just received my official results....PVT works!!! Believe in it! Can't believe I'm an RN!! Woo hoo!

Apparently, I can't type today though. Sorry for the poor grammar and punctuation. I'm tired, LOL

I just graduated and interview yesterday for a position in Critical Care. I was hired for the position today! This particular offered an internship while I was in nursing school, which I participated in. Having your foot in the door and maintaining y...

You're in Cali and tested Tuesday? I'm in Cali as well and tested on Wednesday. I'm hoping to see my results online tomorrow or Monday hopefully! Got the good pop up in the meantime!

I took my NCLEX-RN exam today at 11:30am. Computer shut off at 83 questions. I left feeling scared and wanting to vomit! I tried the PVT trick at 2pm and got the "good" pop-up! Whew! I hope and pray that it's true and I passed!

Does anyone in CA now how long after taking the NCLEX does it take the Board to post your license number on their website?

Four days?! I was hoping it would be sooner! LOL

I took mine in Pasadena. :)

That is the same pop-up got, as well, Hula.

Congratulations as well!

Congratulations on getting the opportunity to work at Northridge. It's unfortunate though that they don't want to hire ADN graduates that do have healthcare experience though. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing against you. It's just frustrating that h...

Do you guys have BSN's?

Updated news: My friend works @ Northridge and spoke to the Nurse Recruiter. Per her info, 6-10 spots available. Applicants will be informed in January. Yikes!

I agree with all of the above and will also add: - someone that is even-keeled, even in stressful moments. Nothing is worse that having a nurse that is approachable and supportive one day, then moody and unsupportive the next. Adapting to the transit...

I don't know where you live, but here in SoCal, you need to be an EMT to be an ER tech in the hospitals. No experience will go to waste! Good luck!

I was surprised by 69 spots. I heard long ago that there were only 9 spots. We shall see, I guess...

I am surprised too! Did she indicate when they'd be contacting people to take the "tests?"

I haven't heard anything yet. How was the interview? Good luck!
