  1. Background Check at First Interview? Should I go?

    nascentRN posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Sounds fishy, no? I don't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here since I'm in New Jersey. I just got off the phone with some recruiter for a social services staffing agency that places...

  2. where are the most new grad opportunities?

    nascentRN replied to breanne6887's topic in Texas Nursing

    Howdy, Back at ya! he..he. Oh, geesh, I'm in for a culture shock. lol. I'm from New Jersey. I've only stopped in Texas (Houston I believe) during a fly-over to California. Not to invoke that...

  3. Just got a new grad job!!

    nascentRN replied to JenRN30's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for your response. It's good to hear they were receptive. I was just thinking of perhaps contacting the Board of Nursing in various states I am applying to and then mentioning this somehow...

  4. where are the most new grad opportunities?

    nascentRN replied to breanne6887's topic in Texas Nursing

    I heard in another thread somewhere that San Antonio is the big one, but since I came into this forum for basically the same information you are requesting, I'll see what others have to say. In the...

  5. New Grad desperate for a job

    nascentRN replied to amyg80's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Did you know that all new grad applications sent out in New Jersey get sucked into a black hole? Really, it's true. There's a big black hole somewhere in New Jersey sucking up all the new grad...

  6. Warning to New Grads

    nascentRN replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not reading anymore of this. I'm a new grad with a fresh RN license. I need a damn job. I need to pay bills. Period. I'll take what I can get. I don't expect it to be a party nor a disco nor a...

  7. Just got a new grad job!!

    nascentRN replied to JenRN30's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations on getting the job. I wish you the best of luck in your career. I live in New Jersey. I got my license here about two months ago after passing the Nclex on the first shot but have not...

  8. Rescheduled NCLEX and I am getting alot of heat!!

    nascentRN replied to Cutebutpsycho1022's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i hear that! i waited a month or two longer to take the nclex than some family members officiously advised for my own good and was no less annoyed by this either. of course, no one is second...

  9. The Nclex is very very hard.

  10. The Nclex is very very hard.

    nascentRN replied to nursing291's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think this idea about nclex vs real world is interesting. I can see how it seems unfair to people who have years of clinical experience that the Nclex is its own little universe with its own laws....

  11. Dude, I am an RN

    nascentRN replied to nascentRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the best benefit of trying to apply all these test taking strategies during the test is that this forces you to slow down, think things through and you'll wind up using your time more...

  12. Dude, I am an RN

    nascentRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I sat the first time for this river bottom nightmare of an exam (anybody remember emit otter's jug band christmas?) on Monday and walked out of the place feeling utterly bludgeoned. I truly...

  13. Predicting NCLEX-RN Success

    nascentRN replied to jyrah6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not sure what you mean by incomplete questions and answers. Most of the practice questions I studied were pretty long. Most of the questions I got on the exam surprisingly were VERY short. Not...

  14. EKG, fetal monitoring, and immunizations

    nascentRN replied to jyrah6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt they'll have you counting those damn little boxes to determine intervals or whatever. I seriously doubt they are going to ask you to identify heart...

    Thanks!

  16. NCLEX this a.m., Tried the Pearson Vue trick....

    nascentRN replied to CarolinaGirl84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hang in there. I walked out of Pearson on Monday and the first thing I said to the first person I talked to was, "If they give me a license, they are CRAZY!" :chuckle I really couldn't have felt any...

  17. EKG, fetal monitoring, and immunizations

    nascentRN replied to jyrah6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One of my classmates recalled a few questions on scheduled immunizations, so I would try to memorize them all. Super tedious and I did it but didn't see any of it on the exam. Neither did I see EKG or...

  18. Predicting NCLEX-RN Success

    nascentRN replied to jyrah6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As far as which predictor is best, I have no idea. The only thing I know is that I scored 76% on the ATI predictor which gave me a 96% chance of passing. Only predictor I took. I passed first time,...

  19. Dude, I am an RN

    nascentRN replied to nascentRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, Trust. I think that is key. Once you stop trusting yourself and your body of knowledge, you are at the mercy of the test and each and every question just gets more nerve wracking, and your...

    Definitely do. Forget about Reductionism! If you try to know everything you only will wind up knowing nothing. There is a reason why great notes are put into outlines! Once you can structure...

    nascentRN replied to nascentRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First things, first: You graduated nursing school. I don't know what your school was like, but if it was anything like mine, it was not easy. Only half the people I started with graduated with me....
