Hi everyone, I am a new RN in Maryland. I passed my NCLEX in December 2009. Boy was that a great time. I had failed it twice before, told myself I will never take it again. Walked away for 4 years and then took it again. Anyhow I was so happy li...
I guess I have posted my story before, but after reading others frustration that they will never get a job I thought I would share my story again. I got married before I started nursing school. I had a BS in biology, but the job I was gonna get wi...

Very lucky. I am very happy for you. It took me 3 months to find a job too, but boy was it an affort. I hated looking for a job not knowing when will I get it. I am happy for you. Go for a long fulfilling RN career. One more thing, don't stop h...
I would say take the job. Job market is very bad these days. New grads are haveing an impossible time finding a job. I know I almost filled more than a 100 apps before I got one. Even if you don't like it, take it. First of all most of the LTC p...

I am working on my First job. Fortunately its an Asissted living Place. Most of the residents we have are not in that bad of a shape. Oh yea, they take 10-15 meds at a time. All of them have their preferences to how they wanna take there meds, so...

Actually no, I didn't have that job when I interviewed for the hospital job. But I did tell them that I have interview for the asissted living house job and hope to get it. So the nurse manager knew that I was gonna get the part time job. Hope it...

I agree with everyone. The job market and economy is so bad that no one wants to hire a new grad. I got my first job at an Asissted living place because of the new $1000.00 tax break Federal Governament offered. But I never gave up and kept applyi...
Wow what a difference a couple of weeks make. I was in tears and about crying a few weeks ago. Now, I got a job and on the verge of getting another one. I applied for at least 100 jobs, anywhere and everywhere. I got some interview and most of th...

Hey, I am in the same boat. I am new grad. After some hard work, I have been able to get my first job in an assissted living home as an RN. I like it, but its really not much of a nursing job. All you do it pass meds, do some, I would say very f...
Ahhh........... I guess I am not alone here. I graduated with a BSN from UMD SON in 2004. After getting my BSN, I was flying hight. I had a job in hand and took NCLEX very lightly. I failed twice. Failing made me promise myself I will never tak...

I passed NCLEX in December 2009. This was my 3rd try. I was so excited, happy, and on top of the world. But Every day my world is crashing and I am touching the ground. I am trying to stay strong outside, when my heart cries every day. I am look...

Thanks for the encouragment. I did get a job, but it is a temperary job. The job is with Unival and its a job as a RN collecting data for HEDIS. I am looking for my second job. I am not discourage, but it does break your heart from time to time. ...
Hey all, I graduated in December 2004 and failed the NCLEX twice. I took a break then and just passed it this December. So it has been 5 years since I graduated. Now I am being told by the hospitals that they cant hire me until I take a Registered...
I took it yesterday and got 77 Questions. It was my 3rd time. I was not scared after the test; actually I has a little bit good feeling. Today I checked on pearsonvue and got a pop up :loveya: and then I checked Maryland BON and it has my name and...
I was very very close and about the same and passed the NCLEX last month with 77 question. Don't worry about the scores, just do all the questions and nail it. Good luck.
