Hello All, I am an RN living and currently working as a visiting nurse in Rhode Island. I have taken a Botox injection course and received a certificate for it, through ESI, Esthetic Skin Institute. Rhode Island being a tiny little state, it seems to be very difficult to break into this field. I have applied to many Dermatologist and Plastic Surgeons offices and no one seems to be hiring! I did get a job offer from Ideal Image, they train you and start you out with learning the laser at $18/hr!!! I could not work for that..I'm an RN! So of course I did turn that job offer down. I am wondering if anyone has any tips, help, or connections to offer. I am a very hard working individual, with great communication skills, who loves the field of plastics!

Ok great thanks! That's a lot

What were all the SATA about?!

It's all or nothing no partial credit :/ 23 SATA is much too much for me ahhh!!!

Truly inspiring!! Congratulations :)

Thank you and good luck to you as well. It's nice (sort of) to know that I'm not the only one in this position. Sometimes it feels like I am. So many times I hear people say NCLEX is so easy. To me it's not!!! Feels like its going to be the death of me. Even more frustrating I've been out of school for 2 years now! I wish NCLEX was specialized to which type of nursing you want to practice..for me esthetics :) I wish everyone the very best and hope everyone succeeds even if it takes a few times :)

Is this my life?! Thanks for sharing :) I'm going to test next month for my third and hopefully final time. I have had the frustration, depression and readiness to give up. I have literally been sick to my stomach over not passing. I'm now getting over that and rebuilding confidence. I WANT THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING!! Congratulations to you and wish you the best with your nursing career!!

Great. Thanks so much!

Congrats to you! What is the allnurses study guide?

Thank you for the tips. Do you happen to know if the NCSBN's study guide you can purchase goes over the new format?

Hi, I am a repeat test taker for NCLEX RN. The previous time I took it was with the old format. I am now just beginning to study again and I know there is a new format. Any good tips/advise for me? And what is the difference between the old format and new one? This is so frustrating for me...but I can't give up. Also, I am in Massachusetts if anyone would like to study or knows a good tutor...Thank you!

Congrats on passing! I am taking NCLEX this Friday for the third time...and very anxious. I just want to pass and move on with my life!!

Congratulations to you!! I'll be taking NCLEX this Friday, I hope I click off at 75!

Congrats to you!! I will be taking NCLEX for the 3rd and hopefully last time next week. I graduated this past July and it has been very frustrating for me. Nice to hear I'm not the only one out there...Congrats again!

Good luck to you both! I said a prayer for both of you. I will be taking mine March 24th for the 3rd time. Just breathe and take your time during the test..best of luck.
