Hi! everyone! I just recently graduated nursing May 2011. Had an interview and it went really well, next day took the nclex and FAILED! Well, the hospital really wanted me to work as an RN. They gave me an offer for $32.50/hour as an RN effective ne...

My suggestion is for you to contact your former professors, clinical instructors, hospitals where you did your rotations. Look online for career fairs or open houses. Take any job - CNA or GNA, unit secretary - if those are the only available as of ...

Just wondering Anne

I plan on telling them (recruiter and manager) right away. I don't like lying especially in this field. I already told the nursing manager during the interview that I do not have a license yet and will take it soon. She for some reason still said she...

Well, I took the NCLEX RN yesterday. Gave me 200+ questions! I was very tired, hungry, my eyes were falling apart! I finished the questions. Tried the trick after 4 hours and led me to the CC page :-( I am sure I failed. I had I think 30 SATA, A LOT ...
